Now i've killed a hdd ;)

I blame Garp, his presence must have somehow carried over the net to my external hdd. Now I have a 500gb external hdd which I have taken apart and discovered that there were two hdds and one has snuffed it. These were Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 250gb drives.

Now if I was to get another ide drive to replace the knackered one, these tend to be Seagate 7200.10 which store data vertically. Now in my mind there should be no issue with just getting another drive and shoving it in. So am I correct or is there anything else that I should be thinking about?
