I need to replace my Acer Laptop (see sig) drive. Is this a good replacement? The Acer specs says only that it's an ATA drive.

Yes, the Seagate Momentus notebook drives are good drives.

I "believe" you can clone the drive with the Seagate software from their website.

2 ways to clone it.

1. Seagate Disk Wizard which is an OEM version of Acronis True Image. You will need a notebook IDE to USB adapter. If you do not have an adapter:

2. 2 birds with 1 stone:

This comes with an OEM version of True Image.
