First of all, hello to everyone, Im new here.
I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me out in regards to choosing the right hard-drive upgrade for my Powerbook G4 15".
I'm not very knowledable when it comes to upgrading but have come across a website where a guy suggested I need a "2.5" Parallel ATA/IDE drive up to 250 GB".
I've found the links below all at different costs but they seem like the same thing to me. I just wondered if anyone with a bit more techincal knowledge could tell...
1) if there is any difference
2) which one would be the best option.
I've been given a link for a step to step guide on how to replace the Hard Drive - PowerBook Repair - iFixit - and ideally would like to have a go at this myself. However I just need to find the correct Hard Drive for my Powerbook.
I have a link from Play.com here
A link from Amazon here
A link from ebuyer here
and a link from SCAN here
If it helps my computer has the following info:
