I'm looking into getting a new laptop (the Acer Aspire 2012WLMi), but the model I'm looking at only has a 4200 RPM hard drive. I think I might upgrade it to a 7200 RPM drive (probably the Hitachi 60GB one. It's not cheap, but this laptop will probably (hopefully) last me a while, so I think it'll be worthwhile. The reviews I saw on NewEgg said it was a good purchase).

There aren't any compatibility issues between laptop hard drives and laptop brands (namely Acer), are there? No issues with proprietary parts, right?

I didn't think there'd be any issues, but I wanted to check and make sure.

Thanks.

Oh, and once I get the laptop, I'll be sure to post a review here
