IT SHOULD WORK AS LONG AS THE CONFIGURATION IS ACCURATE- EMAIL THEM AND ASK IF IT WOULD FIT?GO WITH THE 100 G–BUT OUCH THOSE PRICES ARE AWEFUL!I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW SEAGATE 100 G ON EBAY FOR UNDER 100 — AND IT WAS GUARANTEED- JUST PERFECT IN EVERTHING!!
Yes, you can use any available size of SATA drive, SATA 1.5 or 3.0. Back in the early days of ATA there were issues with hard drives above 137 GB (128 GiB)… and before that there were other, lower limits… but those are not issues with any SATA-capable system.
Look up the specs for your model on your manufacturer’s website. Easier yet, call the company’s tech support and they would be able to tell you by the laptop’s serial number.With Dell PCs, I can view a list of all of the parts configured in my laptop by entering in the ID tag number. Other brands should have similar resources on their websites.Serial ATA drives have only recently been used in laptops. The majority are parallel ATA types
