    I went to newegg to upgrade the hard drive space for my Inspiron 710m and saw that there are two different kind of hard drives. One of them is an ATA-6 hard drive and the other a Serial ATA-150 hard drive. I think one of them is the SATA kind and that isn't the one the Inspiron 710m takes. Anyone knows which is the right one for me? Thank you.

    Only ATA (1-6) is compatible with your 710m, not SATA (150 or ATA 7), those have different connection.
