    I have a Toshiba X205-S9349. It has a SATA hardrive interface, but i dont knwo enough about hardrives and thier interfaces to understand what i can replace it with.
    What are my concerns?
    On newegg.com it has multiple SATA hard drives types. Does it matter if i get a 1.5 GB/s or a 3.0GB/s?? is that just the diffence between a 7200 RPM and slower ones?.... anyone have any advice?
    will all SATA HD fit in my laptop regardless of the speed?... or are the connectors different?

    All SATA laptop harddrives will fit in your laptop regardless of the speed, The 1.5Gb/s - 3Gb/s is just the SATA interface speed,
    SATA version 1 being 1.5Gb/s and SATA 2 being 3Gb/s
