Can I just install this Seagate ATA-6 drive in my x60s and reinstall windows? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822146230

Thanks.

No, you need a 2.5 inch Serial ATA (SATA) drive.

Thanks. So any 2.5" serial ATA150 drive will work?

What about this?

HITACHI Travelstar 7K200 HTS722012K9SA00 (0A50938) 120GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Notebook Hard Drive - OEM

Thanks for your help.

I opted for a Seagate over a Hitachi, since it is a lot quieter than the Hitachi, and doesn't make a clicking noise.

I bought my 120GB 7200.2 Seagate for $120 after tax - would have been lower, but NewEgg doesn't ship to Canada

GL, and enjoy your performance boost!
