What kind of 2.5" HD adapter do I need?
Hello,
I decided to replace HD in my laptop. It is HP Pavilion DV2000. I need some kind of adapter to connect it to my desktop (my desktop have SATA and IDE drives) to clone the old HD to a new one. It says my disk is SATA Serial - but I see it is not regular SATA adapter. Here are pictures of my HD: http://www.evkosystems.kgbinternet.c...s/HP-test1.jpg http://www.evkosystems.kgbinternet.c...s/HP-test3.jpg http://www.evkosystems.kgbinternet.c...s/HP-test4.jpg Any idea what kind adapter do I need? Thanks, Zalek |

Thanks, Zalek Take a close look at the illustration of the connector end of the Fujitsu drive in your first picture. Then compare it to the photo in the third picture. Clearly different. But Fujitsu says in their spec sheet that they use the connector as shown in the first picture. These facts lead me to believe that the drive is in an adapter of some sort added by the laptop's maker. This used to be quite common in laptops as a way of protecting the fragile pins on the old micro-IDE connectors and perhaps your maker continued the practice beyond the point where it makes sense. Check closely and you should be able to identify the point where drive ends and adapter begins. If the package is wrapped up in shielding you will need to gently open the shielding. I've replaced a number of drives using adapters with shielding and have never found that leaving the shielding out hurt anything. |

Looks very much like there is an adapter still on the disk and that the disk is a standard 2.5" SATA disk that needs no adapter at all. Remove the aluminum base plate and the plastic adapter on the disk's connector. The power connector (broad) will connect directly to a standard SATA power connector. The data connector (slim) will connect directly to an SATA data cable. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.

Yes, there is still an adapter plugged into the back of the driv that needs to be removed, is only used in compatible laptops that need it. |
