    yes your laptop uses sata so it is...
    but why not go for a 320gb 7200rpm?? faster and not much more:
    7k320
    wd3200bekt
    7200.3

    based on this:

    i'd say go for the WD3200BEKT, best combination of speed, heat, vibration and noise.
    The differences between the three however will be quite unnoticable, so I advise you to get whatever you can find cheapest.

    Thank you again, I will probably stick with the 5400... got a great price $ 73 only, for a original Toshiba HD 320gb

    you don't have to buy a toshiba drive. It's not like there are Sony or Dell drives for sale and only those would work in a Sony/Dell.
