13.3" white macbook. 2 GHz Core 2 Duo. 160GB. 2GB memory, and giving leapord a second chance.
i need to pick up a new HD for my old acer notebook... but im having a hard time finding exactly what HD i need to shop for.

its about the same size as the one in my macbook, but the connections are different. this one has pins, while my apple HD has like a female connector.

anyways, here's a pic. and here's the model #.

Hitachi Travelstar "HTS541080G9AT00" 80GB, 5400 RPM, ATA/IDE.

newegg.com says my 3 choices are...
ATA-6 (36)
SATA 3.0Gb/s (6)
Serial ATA150 (29)

the only thing i can see written on this HD is ATA/IDE.. its not one of my choices.. lol

That would be an IDE (ATA) hard drive. Your MacBook, I believe, has a SATA hard drive.
