ATA stands for Advanced Technology Attachment and is a method for  
connecting storage devices to computers using a parallel interface.   
(Serial ATA, or SATA, was introduced fairly recently and is a method  
for doing the same using a serial interface.)  ATA-4 is a version of  
ATA and refers to the the maximum data transfer speed capable on your  
ATA bus along with a few other factors such as type of transfer  
mode.  You can read about it to your heart's content at:

Aside from that we provide internal hard drive upgrades for the  
PowerBook G4 Titanium that include illustrated installation manuals  
and all the tools you will need to perform the install yourself.  You

We need a new hard drive for my wife's old 800 MHz Titanium  
powerbook.  The
hard drive is described in System Profiler as:

ATA-4 Bus
IBM IC25N040ATCS04-0

It's 40 GB, but I don't know what "ATA" stands for, etc.  Can someone  
please
translate the above into some keywords that I could use for searching  
eBay
etc.?

Also, any advice on where to get a replacement?  Anything equal or  
better to
the existing 40 GB would be fine.

Thanks,
