hard disk replacement
I need a new cheap hard disk (not SSD) for my old desktop PC.
The broken drive was a MAXTOR STM380211AS (80 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II) on mainboard Asus P5L-VM 1394 To be sure about compatibility I want to check the following. Are SATA-II and SATA-III interchangeable? Can someone recommend a suitable replacement from my local supplier below? As regards to compatibility and speed. All sizes GB are sufficient. http://www.mycom.nl/opslag/interne-harde-schijf thanks, -- |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os

I'd personally not go for any of the 500GB drives, just because the 1TB drives are near enough to the same price and twice the size.

They are fine too but not as trivial to fit, need an adapter kit just for the mechanical fit unless its got a 2.5" bay free. I'd personally not go for any of the 500GB drives, just because the 1TB drives are near enough to the same price and twice the size. I'm not sure whether my BIOS has an upper disk size limit. There arent any that matter in your case given that the 80GB worked fine.

I did some research, and could not find anything specific. But since your ICH7 South Bridge is SATA revision 2.0, it should handle the larger drives. I had no such luck with my SATA revision 1.0 notebook. I had to limit myself to a 320Gb drive with 150 Mb/s backward compatibility.

By now I received the drive http://www.mycom.nl/opslag/interne-h...p-hdd-500gb-35 and I'm up and running. I did have bad luck though, because Windows XP installed a wrong system drive letter :-( Had to reinstall XP this time with the other hard drive disconnected... -- |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os

I don't believe you can change the letter of the Windows system drive, especially not with DM. There are third party tools that claim to be able to do so, but I haven't used them.
