I've found a site that shows a laptop running at 5400 rpm, as being comparable to a hard to find ATA 7200 rpm.

Samsung HM 160 HC.

ATA internal harddrive

The purpose is to replace a M140 Dell XPS's hard drive, that will be suitable for audio recording. I plan to partition it with two XP Home OS, to have a net free enviorment in one XP partition, for a Presonus Firestudio. (Multi track Firewire interface running a hog program: Cubase).

The other partition for when I want to surf, and download, no gaming.

Dell XPS M 140

Service Pack 3

2x1g dd2r ram

These are four names I found being used for naming the connection required.

AT6
ATA
EIDE
IDE

I hope someone knows, I have $75 to spend, for 160g.

For all intend and purposes, they are referring to versions of the same interface, but make sure you are buying a 2.5" platter hard drive - the 3.5" platters are for desktop computers and have a larger connector and separate power supply.
