    If your laptop has SATA interface (I assume it does) the drive will work.

    Edit: I just don't know how easy it is to close and open the passport enclosure. You could also buy the WD for $99 here and buy a separate enclosure.

    You can be sure it is SATA because the 320GB is only made in SATA.
