IBM Thinkpad Hard Drive compatibility

I've got an IBM Thinkpad 600E which had a 10Gb HDD. Coming back from Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago, it seems to have taken a knock, and the HDD is now damaged and inoperable.
There are few of these original drives around (did see one listed at $700+ :eek:), so I'm trying to find a compatible model. Closest I can see is an IBM Travelstar 18Gb.
Physically the drive is the right size, and seems to have the correct IDE connection, but I'm not 100% that I can use it.

Anyone know if these will work in the 600E?
