<P><FONT SIZE=2>Do you need that specific model? Laptop drives have standardized a while </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>back and now all you need to know is the thickness. If your laptop is </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>relatively new (say the last couple of years) than it will most </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>certainly be a 9.5mm thick, 2.5" wide drive. Some desktop replacements </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>used 12mm drives and some ultra-compact ones used 4.5mm drives. Once you </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>know that you can pick pretty much any make and model.</FONT>
