I purchased a Samsung 160GB (HM160HC) 5400rpm ATA100 8MB Notebook Hard Drive (2.5 inch) to replace a Hitachi Travelstar 80GN - 08K0864 80GB 4200RPM ATA-6 2MB Cache.

Is this not a compatible replacement? I already bought it, don't think I can return it.
 
just noticed the connector attached to the old drive. I needed to pull it off and put it on the new drive.
 
Is it normal for hard drives to ship wihtout a package. It was not in a retail box or anything, When I opened the shipping box the drive was in an antistatic bag wrapped in bubble wrap with no paperwork, retail packaging etc....
 
it's normal if it's an oem :) usually a little cheaper but comes without all the frills.
