Hi, a totally ignorant post here, any help would be appreciated:

I'm looking to change hard drives in my MB (the old one died) but I don't know if my choice is limited in any way. Is there a specific kind of HD that I need to get? My MB is white 13", 2GHz, 120gb, a couple of years old (07/08).

There's a guy selling a HD from his MB Pro -- would that fit?

Or would just any 2.5" drive fit? Do I need to pay specific attention to anything (I read something about SATA150 and SATA300 thing...)?

Maybe something like this:
TOSHIBA HDD2H24 SATA 2.5 250GB HARD DRIVE WINDOWS 7 - eBay (item 230416708857 end time Dec-31-09 10:19:02 PST)

Thanks in advance!
