I'm trying to find a replacement hard drive for this laptop but I don't know what to look for. Will any 2.5 SATA hard drive work?

Yep. I have a ssf 2.5 drive in my laptop now. You'd be good on any 2.5 hard drive.

Any 2.5" SATA physical hard drive will work. SSD's are a different mater. I have used a 60GB SSD SATA drive with no problems but couldn't get a 240GB SSD SATA drive to work. While SSD are very appealing -- light weight, low power consumption, and no moving parts, I don't think there is enough standardization.

Probably. Note this HD is one third the capacity of the original. The 2.5 SATA form factor is standard, I believe. I would confirm with a web search comparing original HD specs with replacement HD specs. Should be easy to find out, though.

Hello This is a standard laptop drive 2.5IN Therefore it should work in any standard laptop 2.5in SATA Connection.

Yes, almost any sata 2, 2.5 will work, (the thicker ones may require you to check how thick you can go with in your model). I would suggest you go with a faster speed though, like 7200 or even 10000 rpm, as you will get better performance with the faster seek times compared to the 5400 rpm. Personally, on a laptop, I would fork out the extra cash for an ssd drive, as it is not only faster, but more reliable if you move the laptop around a lot.

Yes, I did end up replacing our hard drive and it worked seamlessly! I got the WD 1TB sata II 7200 rpm 8 mb unit. (Wd10jpvt) It looks cheaper now too by about $30!I now have a lot more room and the laptop speed is back up to normal now. I also got the vantec nexstar tx 2.5 sata to usb external he enclosure and definitely nice! Well built and solid!

This is not a hard drive. This is just a case/enclosure to use your 2.5 (laptop hard disk is 2.5) inch internal harddrive as external drive, if you don't wish to discard your internal HDD.

Sure is - any 2.5" Sata HDD will do the trick. I do recommend upgrading to the WD Black rather than Bare. They're built better and have faster read/write speeds.

A Sata Hard drive are very easy to come by in many sizes. Just seach amazon for a SATA hard drive and pick your size. Be sure to check what type of sata drive you need. I think this unit needs a SATA 2 or 3. I purchased a 400GB hard drive and it works great. Something like this ... http://www.amazon.com/Black-320-Mobile-Hard-Drive/dp/B001CO3EKQ/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1365438733&sr=1-9&keywords=sata+2+hard+drive

This is an IDE drive, you may need a SATA drive. The model docs do not say what type of connector it has. The hard drive is SATA so I would say you would need the same. Open the laptop and compare connectors to be sure.

On the internet is says the hard drive works on most laptops. Your notebook says it needs a IDE/PATA hdd so good luck.

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

This is backward compatible to sata 2 (3gbs). It's not listed as sata 1 (1.5gbs) compatible and even if it was your performance benefit would be drastically limited by sata 1. Your probably better off with a traditional hard drive.
