dell 700m

my daughter has a 700m dell laptop. i would like to upgrade the hard drive to this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822146052

my question is since it is no longer under warranty how do i find out what type of connection it has ? sata or ata-6 as this drive comes in both flavors. i managed to correct the problems it was having but it would sure be nice to slap this faster drive into it. anybody here done this type of procedure before ?

trying to talk to dell about anything technical when your stuff is out of warranty is like squeezing wine from a stone !!
 
thanks guys. sometimes you cant see the forest for the trees. lol appreciate the info.

i saw that link earlier on their site and printed it off.
 
Another thing you could have done is just pull the old drive. Dell usually makes the Hard drive easily accessible.
 
i upgraded my 700m's hard drive a year ago... pretty simple just follow the link above if you actually need help
but yes, ATA
