I have replaced a defunct 6Gb in my Satellite 1730 without any problem.
The new one is just a standard 2,5" HDcame right off the shelf. By now I
forgot what brand I put in.

Remember however that if you put in a faster HD it will become a. more
noisy and b. become hotter, triggering the case to become hotter, and the
internal fan become more moisy. (and maybe making you lapdancing instead
of laptopping every now and them.

I just bought a Toshiba MK4026GAX for my laptop it is 5400 rm and 16Mb
buffer. I am installing Win 2000 Pro on it. Hopefully, the two combined
will operate faster without much heat.
I paid $99.99 at Fry's off the shelf.
