    Hello guys I am new to the forum. I have an old 2004 Sony Vaio, the hard drive is kaput. It's a PCG-K115s CPU 2.80GHz 512 Ram and the hard drive was a 60Gb.

    I want to buy a new hard drive and saw this one on offer will I be able to use it with my vaio? 160gb 2.5" IDE ATA PATA Laptop Hard Drive HDD...If not can anyone point me to one relatively cheap that would do the job. The one I mention was on offer at £49 which I thought was reasonable. Thanks in advance guys.

    Das.

    This Samsung hard drive should do the trick. ( HERE)

    Should save you a few pounds in the long run.

    Best of luck to you! Should keep that lappy in good order for a while longer.
