A SATA drive is a SATA drive. Unlike 2.5" IDE drives, which had a
different connector, all SATA drives have the same connector and you
should have no problems as long as you have a SATA data and SATA power
cable.

You should be fine. Pop out the drive and see if it will fit. If the
connectors fit, I wouldn't be concerned. 

Of course, I have to disclaim...use this advice at your own risk.
