Laptop Hard Drives

Apparently HP DV5000T allows you to replace the HDD, what type of HDDs can fit inside the laptop, anyone know? Or is it just basic computer HDDs?

laptop hard drives fit in laptops lol, they are alittle thinner then standerd hard drives.

something like this would work

yours has to be a SATA drive tho, its not IDE so when buying one make sure is SATA.

oh also when i did a search for your laptop it said its SATA, but please double check that as i dont want you to buy the wrong part. do you know what the difference in look is between the 2 ? so you can take your current hard drive out to make sure it has that interface.

Ya I know the difference between SATA and regular IDE ATA hookups. Thanks for the help King.

Laptop hardrives are always a **** nuisance.
Save yourself the trouble,time and hassle and buy a external drive.

Hope this helped
