http://www.allegro.pl/item939464533_dysk_fujitsu_mobile_mhy2120bh_120gb_sata_5400rpm.html

are they compatible with each other?

sorry if its a dumb ass question, but one is a serial ATA-150-7 PIN SERIAL ATA
While the other is a serial ATA 300 7 pin

You posted the same link twice. Repost the replacement pls

Yes, the drive you selected will work fine in your son's laptop. It will just run at the slower Serial ATA-150 speed. They are fully backwards compatible.
