    The help you receive here is free and not required. If you expect better, you should probably be paying someone. You may wish to keep that in mind. A couple hours is hardly enough time to legitimately expect a response. 24 hours is required to pass before bumping you thread, per the forum rules.

    Any SATA drive will work.

    He seemed to be asking a basic question. I took that second post as a clarification, not a bump.

    You will not have overheating problems. It runs relatively cool (compared to other laptops).

    I'm using Western Digital (WD) Scorpios with no issue. As was said, and SATA 2.5" drive will work.
