    I want to buy a new hard drive for my Compaq NC8000; I've been looking around ebay Australia and found the Samsung HM160 JC which is a Spinpoint M80.

    I googled it and then i found the Samsung HM160 HC which is a Spinpoint M5. These are both 2.5" 160GB ATA hard drives at 5400RPM with 8MB cache.

    Does anyone know the difference between these>?
