    I doubt you'd notice a difference between the two drives.

    Yes, DriveGuard will still work because it doesn't have anything to do with what model HDD you're using. The program simply turns off the HDD when the laptop senses it's falling. I had zero problems installing a new HDD in my 8510p. It was a VERY easy process.
