IDE ATA 160gb Laptop Drive

Here is a good drive for your older laptops. BE SURE you buy the right drive! These IDE drives are harder to come by since most laptops now use SATA. Additionally, even though your laptops specs may indicate only 80GB is supported, these 160GB drives work fine in those older machines like the Presario 2100′s. For $60, you usually only get a 40GB to 80GB drive for these older systems. This 160GB ATA drive is a killer deal at that price.
