Upgrades and Accessories / Disk Upgrade

I'd like to upgrade my drive from 60G to something larger. Are all notebook hard drives the same these days in terms of interface connections? Presently, I have a Hitachi Travelstar which I believe is ATA-5. Can I just go to Best Buy or somewhere and get a Seagate ATA-100 replacement drive? I'm assuming if the pin outs are the same, the bus will fall back to ATA-5 transfer rates.

Thanks!
