Will this HD fit my computer?

I couldn't find the specifications I was looking for by looking up the model. I need you to download "CPU-Z" and find the Motherboard/Mainboard Name. Here's a picture of what you need to get me.

Crap, is there anyway I can get the info without downloading CPU-Z? Because, the current HD's I have are busted... .... Thats why i'm buying a new one. Does the motherboard have a sticker on it with a name, and can you look it up from that? Or something? I'm not at my house atm, so i cant check out the MotherBoard...

Sorry, you need to download it. If you can't, take a picture of the back of the messed up HDD.

Does the back of the HDD look like one of these.

If your talking about the old hard drive then yes it looks like example_one. If your talking about the new one, check out the link i put in the beggining of the post. Thats the hard drive i'm buying.

Btw, what does HDD stand for? I know that HD == Hard Drive... Does HDD == Hard drive Disk?

Yes, Hard Drive Disk, HDD. I use HDD with Hard Drives to differenciate between High Definition (HD) and Hard Drive Disk (HDD).

Okay, that HDD you were looking at should work for your computer.

The top picture was PATA and the bottom one was SATA. I figured it would most likely be one of these. Ultra ATA is basically PATA with faster speeds, and your HDD might be UATA already.

Sweetness thanks GLG just 1 thing, are you by any chance NRGefX on youtube? I just saw a re-format video by someone that has that username.

Nope, I'm "Goodlookinguy".

It's Hard Disk Drive.

On another note, quite a few members on a Swedish hardware community that I visit (Sweclockers) have reported that their Barracuda drives have broken after a few months of usage. I suppose it could be some random fluke, but either way, I'd rather go for a 600+ GB Caviar series drive by Western Digital (or a similar drive if that particular model doesn't fit your system) for an extra $20 or so: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136298

Oh, and if you're into performance, ignore those pesky Raptors: http://www.nextlevelhardware.com/storage/battleship

(I read a newer article a few months ago in which the author used a slightly faster SSD setup, but I was unable to find it again.)
