SSD Combatibility for laptop asus k42ja

[deepakmenonk]

I have an asus k42ja-vx032d laptop with WD Scorpio Blue 640GB WD6400-bevt hard disk. The hard disk is damaged and want to replace it. I wanted to know if I it can be replaced by an SSD drive. The one i am looking is SanDisk SSD 128 GB Laptop Internal Hard Drive (SDSSDP-128G-G25).
Please let me know of the compatibility.

Thanks in advance.

I would say the SSD will fit and work fine in there, the only problem? You'll wish you had done that sooner.

My only worries were the pins, interfaces and power parameters. Can you confirm on that?

Thanks a lot

deepakmenonk, what do you use the laptop for?

I used to do gaming on the laptop, but now that I have another console I dont play often in my laptop, only small games. Mainly I use i my laptop for other purposes.
That is why I thought 128 gb would be fine.
Any suggestions?

ssd drive is totally compatible with your laptop.

I can confirm that the SanDisk will fit and work in there. The SSD has a lower power requirement than the original HDD and both are SATA, it'll work.
