new hard drive

[LostStraw]

This is the one I was looking into: http://www.forcom.be/?product=305017

FORCOM has it wrong, it's a SATA II HD.

 

Here's the official product site where it's listed as SATA 3Gb/s: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=576

How do I find out what I've got now?

How do I find out what I've got now?

It might be possible to find out through the Device Manager in the Windows Control Panel. It should be listed under "Disk drives." For example mine is listed as "ST3160815AS ATA Device." Using Google to search for "ST3160815AS" I came up with this as the first link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822148230 -- which happens to be my hard drive.

 

If that fails there's always opening up your case and actually looking at it

The basic version is free, should tell you what you need to know.
