Since you don't mention if that drive is a 2.5" notebook drive or not I can't answer.

The required specs to replace the internal driver are; 2.5" SATA drive with a recommended speed of 5400 RPM.

It's either a SATA notebook drive or it isn't, it's that simple.  Maybe you should post a link to the drive?
