A friend of mine has a Dell Inspiron 5000e that needs a new hard drive. From Hitachi's site, the current hard drive is a 10GB, 4200 RPM, ATA-5 drive.
The cheaper hard drives on Newegg's site are ATA-6. Will those be compatible with his laptop or does he need to get a drive specifically marked ATA-5?
