Hard Drive Compatability with 600m/300m

Will the new Hitachi Travelstar (60GB, 7200 RPM) notebook hard drive work with the 600m or 300m?  If not, which systems is it compatible with? 

Thanks

    i'm not sure how to check for sure, but i think what you can do is to go to your system properties and under device manager look for your current hdd. take note of the model and look up the specs in the manufacturer's website. particularly look for the interface whether it's ata-6 and the ultra dma mode, whether it's a 5. if it is then the harddisk is suitable. however this is how i do it, i don't think it's the best way, but i think it works, for me.

    Yes, it is a standard 2.5", 9.5mm laptop hard disk and will work in both the 300m and 600m.

    Did the 7200 RPM drive work fine in the inspiron 600m?

    I want to buy and install one, but I am afraid it won't work.

    Its in my 600m as we speak and works fine.  Doesn't seem any hotter than my 30gb 5400rpm one, maybe even cooler.
