Rick Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I have a Compaq Presario 900US. The HDD is super bottlenecked and slow! I found this HDD from Dell but I'm wondering how to tell which type of HDD my computer has. I checked with the parts list on the Compaq site and it just tells the size and no other info. It seems that laptop makers are stingy in this market because they try to get you to buy only the HDD for their brands but I'm thinking that there is at least one or two standards out there. Does anybody know how I can find out more info besides calling Compaq?HDD I Want Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 As far as i know, Laptop Hard drives are completly standarized, so getting a dell HD will be fine....=Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipp51 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Good question.My Acer has a 6GB hdd and it's an IBM but I have seen some good deals out there for other brands with a lot bigger drives.I would tend to think that they are all standard,but not sure.Mine pulls out as a drawer so the only thing that needs to match is the plastic moulding at the front which just screws on.Let us know what you find Rick.................Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
