How to determine if a laptop hard drive will work in my laptop?

Written by admin on April 15, 2009 – 10:05 am -

I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000, Pentium 2, 350mhz laptop.

I need to purchase a new hard drive for this machine because the old one died.

Will any random laptop hard drive work? Are there limitations on how big a drive the machine will support?

Any 9.5mm high laptop ATA (or PATA) drive should work... the BIOS should run anything you can buy.

I've bumped every laptop I've bought up to the biggest disk I could get and tehy all worked fine.

    All laptop hard drives are physically the same size and will fit your computer, you only need to fit it install windows and away you go
