Hi, I'm having soooo much difficulty finding the correct hard drive bay size (2.5" or 3") for this laptop!!! The main manual says it's 70mm, which is 2.75", right in-between sizes... Also, do we know what version of SATA the connector is, rather it's Sata 1, 2, or 3? Maybe IDE?

I'm wanting to purchase a SSD for this laptop, but finding the specs is literally impossible. I've been searching for over 1-hour and none of the replacement parts listed show a size or method of connection, and neither do the service manuals I've read. Thank you for any help ahead of time.
