Hard drive broken, which could I order?

Hi guys, how's it going?

 

My laptops internal hard drive is not working anymore. The model is: HTS541612J9SA00 von Hitachi, 5400 RPM, SATA, 120 GB. My laptops model number is Inspiron 1520.

Which hard drive do I need to order? I could buy one with more disk space, right? Could anyone send me a link of all the hard drive options I have?

 

Thank you in advance!

Almost any  -- it needs to be 9.5 mm or slimmer (the terabyte 12.5 mm drives won't fit).

Cool, thanks for the quick answers.

So I've been looking in an online shop, does it matter if it's a S-ATA, S-ATA-II or S-ATA 3?

Is the U/min important (i know it is, but is there a max. I can buy)? And should I buy one with an Intel controller (what's a controller anyway?)?
