Acer 5315 Hard drive

i would like to replace the 80gb hard drive with a 320gb westerdigital hard drive my question is in the 5315 is the hard drive sata or ide. also the dvd drive is this sata also just like to confirm before i order thanks

 

Sata, I had one myself and replaced the drive.

 

The DVD drive is IDE. Hard drive is SATA.

 

Actually Paten the DVD drive is not IDE, at least not in the true sense. (it's not 40 pin)

Pop the HDD cover off and look at the interface to see what type of HDD it is, if they say SATA I'm willing to bet it is.

 

Considering that I replaced my DVD ROM/CD burner on my 5315 with this dual layer DVD burner, I'm pretty sure it's IDE.

 

thanks for dvd your repleys guys ive just got back from the pc shop 50 mile each way i bought a westerndigital black scorpio 320 sata hard drive and a sony/nec optiarc dual layer dvd rw thats also sata i no the hard drive will fit now just hope the dvd writter will as the one i have bought is a sata fingers crossed

ive just had the hard drive cover and the cpu cover off how the hell do you get at the dvd rom ?? i took all the screws out from around the bottom of the case but i couldnt get any farther than that your advice would be very helpful...

 

hi


I wish to upgrade the 120 GB HDD from my 5315 ...to 250 or 320 Gb but I don`t know if is Sata I or Sata II ?


bye

 

Check with the manufacturer's site for the specs of your hard drive. If it says Serial ATA-150 it's SATA1 if it says Serial ATA-300 it's SATA2.

 

Hi


if is 5315 ...depend why ?

Everest ultimate edition ....show me SATA 150 MB/S,but the motherboard of 5315 don`t suport SATA II ? This is the question ...because if suport I want to go on SATA II .
conection on motherboard for Sata I and SataII are different ? or if I put Sata II on a Sata I ..will work but to a low speed ?
