    Could anyone point me in the right direction for a new hard drive for an Acer Aspire 5750? I don't want to purchase one that ends up being incompatible. This is the laptop: (I think it's a 5750g?)

    I suspect this hard drive is OK for the laptop?:

    I'm just not sure whether my laptop is 5750 or 5750g, or whether that even matters for just buying a hard drive.

    Thanks for any help!

    Any SATA drive should work, and I doubt it matters if it's G or not.
