    Spindle speed factors

    Will a 7200 rpm spindle speed SATA replace a 4200 rpm drive? What is (are) the determining factor(s) in the spindle rpm supported by a laptop? Is it the controller, the BIOS or a combination of both? Toshiba Satellite A105-S4344 currently has a (fried) 4200 rpm 200GB SATA, with Windows 7.
