    Has anyone tried this? If not, could someone tell me if A. Will this work? - and B. Will the drive cause crashes etc. from excess heat?

    It should be fine, go for it. I put a 7k60 in my i8600c and there was no heat increase over a 4200RPM drive.

    Upgrading a harddrive for a laptop/notebook is very simple. Supporting it should have zero problems unless your BIOS cannot support it. On a Sony Viao S270 it will have no problems. The drive won't crash or produce too much heat, so no need to worry [ :)]
