I typed in “replace asus laptop hard drive” to YouTube and got a bunch of videos.
Seriously, dude, it’s just a few screws, you’ll be OK.
My Asus was my video-watching PC, I’m typing this on a Win98.
Any opinion on the HD I listed? Wan to make sure it’s the right specs
Easy, don’t worry and it’s a great learning experience.
Of course you want to use the same dimensions - almost certainly your notebook has a 2.5 inch drive - replace it with another 2.5 inch drive.
What you want to check is the connector style. Does it have a bunch of pins in two rows sticking out of the end of the hard drive? That’s EIDA (also called ATA) which is an older configuration.
You’ll need to replace an ATA (no letter S at the front) with another ATA.
If the drive does not have a number of pins, but rather a longer narrow flat male connector at the end with a number of conductive contacts that’s SATA.
That’s newer. Replace ATA with ATA, replace SATA with SATA. Pretty much that easy.
Other posters may have more cautionary tales, but I found the process remarkably easy. Plug and play really.
