My hardrive is faulty so I'm om the look out for a 2nd hand one to replace it. Knowing **** all about this sort of stuff can I only fit one with the same model number or are they interchangable

Here's mine

Any 2.5" SATA drive will fit mate, I don't have any spares but have a look on ebay.

That ones looks like 5400, should be fine with any

Yes mate. And the speed doesn't matter, SATA is both forwards and backwards compatible with any version. 5400 is the rpm of the drive.

Something like this will be ideal: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/250gb-samsung-hn-m250mbb-25-hdd-95-mm-sata-ii-3gb-s-5400rpm-8mb-cache-12ms
