Are these the same thing?

[t3r]

I'm trying to buy a new hard drive for my old laptop. It needs a hn-m201rad/ace.

My question: is hn-m201rad/ace and hn-m201rad/av1 the same thing? Will these two models function essentially the same way?
Thanks!

As far as I know, there's no reason you should need any specific hard drive. any 2.5" HDD should do the trick unless you have some pretty specialized hardware. At a glance, this drive doesn't seem to be.

Any 2.5 inch hdd or ssd will do the trick. You don't need to look for the exact same drive.

^^ these users are correct.

The drive appears to be a 2TB Samsung Spinpoint, model ST2000LM003, a 2.5", 5400 RPM drive with a SATA connection. Basically any SATA hard drive or solid-state drive with a 2.5" form factor and 7MM height, or commonly called laptop drives, will work. Our current lineup is called BarraCuda, and the capacities that fit laptops are 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. We do also have a line of hybrid drives called FireCuda that will work exactly the same way, they also have an SSD cache which will help the stuff you access most frequently load up faster as the drive learns what that stuff is. The 2.5" capacities that will fit laptops are the same: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.

Regardless of what you decide to go with in the end, thank you for considering Seagate.
