Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here.
I have a concern for my laptop hard drive.
its uata, 5400rpm gateway laptop and I was wondering which would be a better upgrade option? SATA or PATA? I know this is a silly question, but I was wondering because I'm not pretty sure of which type of drive to use?
any suggestions?
