You will definitely not get a 3.5" platter into your laptop. Laptops have 2.5" or 1.8" cages. wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-boun...@leafe.com> Im Auftrag von Paul Newton Gesendet: Sonntag, 21.

I have recently taken delivery of an HP Omen 17" laptop. I am used to having an ethernet port which accepts what I would call a standard Cat5 plug but the port on the new laptop does not accept that plug which is obviously too big. The manual describes the port as RJ-45 (network) jack. What would I need in order to connect my Cat5 plug into the RJ-45 socket? The new laptop has a 512GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. The only info I have about the 1TB drive is that it is 7200rpm. Can I simply replace it with a 4TB model running at 5400RPM? The new HDD (WD Red 3.5" Internal Hard Drive) has a - SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. Would I need to check that for compatibility?
