[QUOTE="greboguru, post: 911848, member: 122448"] Hi all, I'm new here. My computer's internal HD is failing. I'm currently using an external HD and my data is all backed up. Buuuut, I need to buy a new HD and I'm not sure on the specs I should look for: * I know I need an SATA internal drive. * As my current HD's speed is 1.5 Gb/s I assume the replacement drive needs to be 1.5 Gb/s as well. * I don't know if I need a 2.5" drive or if I can use a 3.5" drive. If I need a 2.5" 1.5 Gb/s drive, I may have some difficulties -- newegg has little to offer with such specs. Can anyone help me determine exactly what I need? My machine's specs are as follows... MacBook Model Identifier: MacBook2,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 2 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz Boot ROM Version: MB21.00A5.B07 SMC Version (system): 1.13f3 Serial-ATA Vendor: Intel Product: ICH7-M AHCI Speed: 1.5 Gigabit Description: AHCI Version 1.10 Supported Thanks in advance, all!
