    Just yesterday, I've been getting messages popping up about an imminent Hard Drive failure.

    Shopping around, I found this little gem.

    Newegg.com - Western Digital Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    Western Digital Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    I'm wondering if this will work with my P-6831FX. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

    There's no reason why it shouldn't work.

    I got the same one. It's fast and quiet and hasn't given me a single hiccup.
