“How do I find out if my Acer HDD is SATA? Where do I find it on my HDD?”

• Usually if you check the laptops model it’ll note online if it’s SATA, or IDE. You can also use pictures to reference it. IDE has a bunch of pins, while SATA is two different length ports next to each other. Also tip, most recent computers, 10 years or newer, are SATA!

• SATA has its own connector shape, distinct from the older drives. For images (and more details), I found this via Google: http://www.computerupgradesrepairs.co.uk/hdd.htm
