Hello, I am looking to upgrade my Hard drive. I want to replace it from a 40 gig hd to a 200 gig hd. I have a 40.0 GB 2 UltraDMA hard drive, and was looking to get http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1107152. What is ATA-133, a type of format or something? if so i think i have a ATA-100 hard drive, can i upgrade to a ATA-133 hard drive or do i have to stay with ATA-100 hard drives?

Thanks in Advanced
 
ATA/100 & ATA/133 [ developed by Maxtor ] are just measurements of transfer speed and there is currently not a great difference in them [ at least not a noticable one ].

Take a look at the Seagate Baraccuda drives aswell, as they are currently getting some great reviews.

That said, the Maxtor drive you provided a link for is also an excellent drive.
