Panasonic Toughbook CF-W2 Hard Drive

jdosson · 01-14-2008, 08:17 AM

Does anyone know what kind of hard drive is in this laptop. Is it a ata-100 or what? All of the threads i see talk about how to do it but not the actual style of the hard drive. Thanks for the help.

ok, but i am a little concerned because i keep running across people who have to cut pins off. If i buy a ide hard drive will i have to cut pins off?

You will have to cut or bend pins 41 and 44 to make it compatible with CF-W2. Check article here: http://toughbookcentral.com/replacin...onic-toughbook
