    I am thinking of upgrading my 80 gig in my 1520 to the WD Scorpio 320 gig, I was just worried that it wouldn't work right since the Scorpio's interface is Sata 300 and I have no idea what the interface is on the 1520. So my question is does anyone here know what the interface is on the 1520 and/or if I would have any problems making this upgrade happen? Also, while I am asking, what is the best software for cloning my old hard drive over to the new one?
