HardDrive Question. Please help me!
    #20596923 - 09/21/14 12:27 PM (9 years, 6 months ago)

Ok So i have a friend who has an hp elite 8000 tower PC with a 400GB ATA hard drive. We want to upgrade the hard drive to a 1 TB SATA harddrive. This one to be exact

http://www.amazon.com/WD-Blue-Desktop-Hard-Drive/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1411324021&sr=1-1&keywords=hard+drive

Will it work or no? Mainly replacing because of the sound the 400GB makes and he needs alot of room for business files.

you click computer and then disk drive manager allocate space and done


however you need to buy windows 7.1 again if you are replacing the drive

if you are adding another one then you just hook it up

I just need to know if a SATA drive can replace an ATA drive.

He needs like 500GB+ so making extra room won't cut it

If the problem is SATA vs ATA, there are cheap adapters on the web, but I sincerely would prefer something more stable in case of important files and a new hard drive.
I bought a cheap one because sometime I need to jack in an old cdrom reader, and since it doesnt happen often I use this 5$ thing only when needed. I'm afraid he needs something better because he doesnt want to burn a new drive after small time, but if cheap ones exist I suppose also better ones do.

He could just build his own computer too, I could make one right now actually and it'd be extremely customizable

I just found the same model computer with a SATA drive but bigger, so it must take both drives.

Thanks everyone :thumbup:
