[Ti] Suggestions for Replacement Hard Drive?

[John Griffin]

ATA means ’Advanced Technology Attachement' and is the serial  
interface for internal hard drives used by Apple since they abandoned  
SCSI many years ago.

I would suggest you navigate to Other World computing Laptop internal  
Hard Drive replacement list:

http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

You will notice they are listed as IDE (Integrated Drive  
Electronics). Don’t worry, this is the same as ATA. Pick out the one  
that seems right to you. They are a very reliable source for all  
things Macintosh. As you can see it is a very exhaustive list of  
drives made by all the major manufacturers. They also list the size  
of the drives and you should make sure the drive you get fits into  
the space that your old drive occupied.

Good Luck
