Upgrading Laptop HD

[Lilballa786]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my HP Pavillion DV5003CL. I spoke to an HP rep who told me SATA is not compatible with my notebook.

My question is: Is ATA-6 the same thing as IDE? Will the ATA-6 HD work with my notebook?

Thanks in advance.

ATA-6 is IDE. So if your laptop is IDE, then any 2.5" ATA-6/IDE harddrive should work fine.

Awesome. Thanks for the help.
