I want to replace my hard drive which is a sata 60gig, will any sata drive be suitable?
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

Yes, any 2.5" SATA drive will do.0

It would be worth verifying what, if any, hard drive size your BIOS may be limited to before you shell out on a new one. Unlikely to be an issue if your intended replacement is 320GB or less but worth checking.

You will also be able to get an external USB drive case to put your old drive in if you want.0
