Compaq Evo D300
Hi there
I have the above PC, full name, Compaq D3D/P1.7/20j/p/120c/o UK The hard drive has failed and I wish to buy a new one. It currently has a Seagate ST320410A drive installed and I was wondering if I could increase the capacity on a new hard drive. Can you please recommend a replacement for me? Thanks |

Thanks Yes, your system "probably" supports 48bit LBA (hard drives over 128GB in size) already, but if it didn't, there should be a bios update that would resolve this. So you're looking for an ATA100 or ATA133 parallel ata (EIDE), not SATA, in whatever size suits your budget. I could understand an aversion to buying another Seagate since your current drive had failed, but generally they seem to hold up as well as the other alternatives but now have a better warranty (5 years vs typical 3 yr. or only 1 yr) of most drives. You don't mention what capacity you "need", but since you had that 20GB drive currently, I'd expect you dont' really need a giant new drive, so the best value size these days might be around 160GB. Any full-featured computer store or online vendor should have what you're looking for in one of the common brands. |
