HP Pavillion zv5000 compatible hard drives
Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks
HELP! I need to replace the hard drive on my HP Pavillion zv5000, and I am not very technically inclined. When I go to the HP website, the replacement drive is priced at over $275. I think that's a bit steep.
Here is how the replacement drive is described: ATA/100 EIDE, 60GB, 4200 RPM, 2.5 inch form factor, 1.0 inch height.
Now my questions: Can I get any notebook hard drive that has the 2.5 inch form factor? How about the other described features? I'd like to have a drive with more storage and one that's faster as well. I'd really like to keep that price under about $150. Can you give me some recommended products that would be compatible with this machine?
A thousand thanks!

The ATA/100 EIDE is what you need to look at for a new HDD.
I think this would be about the best deal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822146052&ATT=22-146-052&CMP=OTC-C173T&cm_mmc=OTC-C173T-_-Hard+Drives+-+Notebooks+/+Laptops-_-Hitachi+Global+Storage+Technologies-_-22146052
