Dell - Latitude™ D620 - Printer-Friendly Format
The Latitude™ D620, Latitude D820, and Dell Precision™
M65 are the first of the Latitude line to offer SATA hard drives.
SATA technology has been around for some time on desktops
but has been slow to transition to portables. With data transfer
rates of 150 Mb per second, this technology offers a
substantial speed increase over older PATA drives.
From a troubleshooting standpoint, nothing has really
changed. Follow the exact same steps you did when
troubleshooting a SATA drive.
The hard drive is offered in the following sizes:
60 GB (5400 r.p.m.)
80 GB (5400 and 7200 r.p.m.)
100 GB (5400 and 7200 r.p.m.)
120 GB (5400 r.p.m.)
On the bottom chassis of the production unit the words Strike Zone are printed near the hard drive. This text appears only
for engineering purposes and does not indicate you should strike the unit there in any way. Doing so could damage the
hard drive or other components. The strike zone is a reinforced area of the platform base that protects the hard drive by
acting as a dampening device when a system experiences resonating shock or is dropped.
The illustration below shows how to remove the hard drive.
