Change harddisk of Dell Latitude

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi.

I've a rather old Dell Latitude CPI D266Xt, where I'd like to change the
standard 4 GB harddisk against a newer one (bigger!). I've absolutely no
experience whatsoever regarding laptop harddisks. I only know it's IDE
and 2.5"

When looking at the shops (i.e. http://www.alternate.de), what do I have
to look out for in order not having any surprise after purchase?

Cache, RPM and access time is not relevant to me. I'm worried about the
physical connector as well as the the U-xxx speed.

Many thanks.
