I have a Toshiba Satellite 1905-S301 Laptop that needs a new harddrive. I just got one from Buy.com but it doesn't fit. Anyone know what drive I need or a good site that could tell me that?

Seems like it would take a standard 2.5 inch ATA laptop drive. What did you buy? A 3.5" drive?

Maybe he got SATA...

Here's another list[=http//www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Satellite,1905-S301,Laptop,Partslist.aspx]list.

Back on black friday, Circuit City had an external 120GB 2.5" for like $60-$80 after rebates, or something like that. I though it might have been SATA internally, so I passed up hitting CC that day. Turns out is [ia5a5d5d97c]was[/ia5a5d5d97c] PATA, and it even sold for less. I'm still pissed...

I bring it up, because bare drives are expected to fetch a certain price and almost never go on sale (at least in b&m stores), but externals can go for less on sales, and are usually crackable for the drive.

Something to think about...
