Not really, I have a laptop but I don't fancy taking it appart. I'm quite sure it is ok just one that doesn't work on Miggies. Could be wrong mind.
Considering that I have a couple of large IDE drives in my office that have died, but look new from the outside, I wouldn't assume that an old drive from a car boot sale is OK.
I've never come across a laptop drive that hasn't worked on my Amigas (and I've tried around 10+). The only problem I've had was a really old one that wouldn't spin up fast enough to be detected unless you either did a reset or cut the line to pin 1.
There's no telling how badly that drive has been treated or how many times it has been dropped. ;-)
