[NF] New hardware - network port and HDD

Author: Paul Newton

Hi all

Please note my change of address - as a result of recently being made

redundant. 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?

Many thanks

Paul Newton
