I was wondering if any of the 2.5" SATA laptop hard drives will work or do I need to look for some specific drives with specisl interfaces. There are some drives that come with 6gb/s SATA. Is it worthed to buy those?

Hi indijones

Any 2.5" SATA drive should work in your laptop. The 6gb/s SATA drives (or SATA III as they're also known) will give you greater access times, only if your mobo is compatible. But if it isn't, you can still use 6gb/s drives - they will just default to the lower speed (in other words it will act like a 3gb/s drive).

Hope this helps!
