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