    I want to purchase a Toshiba MK1032GAX hard drive.
    Does anybody know if this hard drive is compatible with a Dell D810?
    I currently have the MK6026GAX (60GB) version in my laptop.
    Thanks.

    The Hard Drive mentoined is an ATA disk, therefore it should fit into your laptop, provided it has a existing ATA disk in it.

    The D810 does use PATA hard drives, and that is a PATA hard drive, so it shouldn't be a problem.
