Hard Drive Upgrade question: SATA-150 / SATA-300

the_manchine · 2009-01-10 23:47:09

I'm looking to upgrade the drive in my XPS 1710. At the moment there's a 120 GB, 5400, SATA-150 one in it. Some of the ones I've been looking at are SATA-300, like this one: http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=358193 Should I be able to use a SATA-300 one in place of a SATA-150 one, or is that a big no-no?
