As long as the HDD is the right thickness, size (2.5"), RPM (5400) ans it is SATA, then yes it will work.

S-ATA and P-ATA are different types of connection. S-ATA is much newer technology
Serial ATA differs from P-ATA not only in the speeds attainable (150MiB/s to 600MiB/s as opposed to a maximum of 133MiB/s burst speed with P-ATA), but in the physical layout of the connector and other hardware.
The differences, P-ATA cables are 40 pins. P-ATA cables are also length limited by signal attenuation making the maximum useable length of the cable around 45cm. S-ATA cables can be up to a meter long before the signal degrades. One potential disadvantage with these new connectors is the increased risk of damage to the less robust pins. The power connector also differs from the standard molex, though adaptors are readily available for those who own power supplies without the correct connector for S-ATA devices.
The major advantage that S-ATA has over P-ATA is the way in which data is transferred. P-ATA cables use bidirectional channels for data, the channels able to transmit data both to and from the controller.
