hi,
I need to increase storage space on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70-190) so I decided to buy new HDD. There is a tiny problem though - I do not know which (ATA/Ultra ATA or SATA to buy).
I do not have any documentation, I didn't find any motherboard model No on the back and in the system information there is nothing about SATA contoller:
Disc: TOSHIBA MK4032GSX
Controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI:
intel 82801FB/FBM Ultra ATA Storage Controllers
Basic IDE channel
extra IDE channel
SCSI/RAID Host controller
although I have found this site (http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/17/new_toshiba_sata_drives_lack_performance_increase/page3.html) and it looks like I have a very first of SATA drives from Toshiba....
any ideas?
