yes

 

Goofball: are you sure? it is an 7200 RPM drive!

I was also wondering if it workd, since I also have that HDD lying here.

 

Why wouldn't it work? The 7200RPM has nothing to do with the AAO, that's how fast the HDD is. As long as it is a SATA 2.5" drive.

 

Sure, why would the RPM make a difference? As mentioned, the phyiscal size/interface is important, not the RPM, in determining compatibility.

FWIW, I have a 7200rpm drive in the AAO now.

 

Which drive do you have installed? So from your experience, it speeds up the machine overall (boot times, general tasks, etc)?

 

ok, I'm sorry people I just thought that it might withdrew
more power as it goes faster!?

I know it must be 2.5 "

Thank you

 

seagate 7200.3, i believe you also asked about it in another thread.
It makes a nice difference, things are snappier and it doesn't affect heat all that much, contrary to popular belief. Not more than the 5400.5 it replaced (also 320gb).

 

I got a Acer Aspire One A110-AW will 2,5 inch SATA HDD's work in my laptop cuz this SSD is kinda snail speed with windows running :?: :?: (im from holland idk if that matters but maby ...)

 

Good point, but according to the specifications on the Western Digital web site, this Scorpio black has the same power consumption as the 5400rpm Scorpio Blue version.

A version of this drive is also available with a free-fall sensor (WD3200BJKT)

 

No, the A110 does not have the SATA connector on the motherboard. You can solder one on yourself but there are issues with the power side of things and there is not really enough room in the bottom of the 110 case for the 2.5" drive (the A150 models have a different case).

You can get a 1.8" SSD that will outperform any conventional 2.5" hard disk, if speed is important to you and cost is not an issue.
