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

Hi Paul,
Some laptops RJ-45 ports have a piece that drops down. This part is where the tab on the cable catches.
SATA drives are backwards compatible. SATA ports are also backwards compatible. They just won't be as fast.
How that helps,
Tracy

Thanks Tracy - got it connected after a bit of jiggling around. Is it
likely that the laptop will accept a 15mm HDD (as opposed to the newer 7mm
profile)?

>> Is it likely that the laptop will accept a 15mm HDD <<
I wouldn't expect that. Since you have a folded network-connector, me thinks that your laptop is very thin. Thus a 15mm HD would not fit. Those thick HDs are normally for Server usage. Just screw around ð and look for the HD enclosure.
Also I wouldn't go with a mechanical HD in a Laptop anymore. Samsung has already 1, 2 and 4 TB SSDs. Ok, pricing for that 4Tb is a little bit steep (about 400-500 $), but if you need that much space....

I realised that after I posted - it was meant to be the 2.5" drive.
However further research shows that the laptop requires a 7mm drive and
will not accept the 15mm drive. Have to start looking again ...

I've got a planer. We can try to get that 15mm down to a 7mm.

Thanks for the offer. More seriously I don't believe there are any 7mm 4TB
drives out there - if anybody thinks or knows otherwise, please let me know.
