hi i want to replace my existing HDD(ST500LM012) in my Dell Inspiron N5110 , so i got two questions:
1. What are things one have to check/make sure about new hdd so that it will run without any difficulty in the system i.e. RPM, Ampere , voltage , interface speed etc. ? I found one ST1000LM024 with same RPM but its showing SATA 3.0 Gbps Interface and i am not sure whats the respective rating for my existing derive , i hope it will not create any problem even if does not match.
2. How can i make my existing 500GB HDD to portable one, i tried all sorts of enclosure casing one without adapter and one with adapter but nothing is working. Can anybody guess whats wrong with it, shopkeeper told me you need to format it but i was able to see he is just guessing to avoid cancelling his sale.
Thank you.
