Toshiba - 1TB Internal Serial ATA 2.6 Hard Drive for Laptops
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Will this work in a Toshiba Satellite e45t-A4200?
A: Yes, this will work in your e45t-A4200. Be aware that the drive that comes in that laptop has 500GB storage PLUS a 32GB solid state disk cache for system use that helps the computer operate and boot faster. The 1TB drive you're asking about will work fine, but you may see some minimal difference in speed.
Q: Work with my Macbook pro 13" mid 2009?
A: Yes, I put one in my daughter's 15" 2009 Macbook Pro. Here is what I did. 1. I got a Apricorn USB/SATA transfer cable kit from Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apricorn-ez-upgrade-3-0-serial-ata-hard-drive-upgrade-kit/4351399.p?id=1218475466447&skuId=4351399 2. Attach the hard drive to the SATA connector and the USB port on your Macbook and use Mac's Disk Utility (found in Applications/Utlilities) to format the drive with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format 3. Use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner to back up your current drive to the new drive. It will copy all the boot files too. 4. Install the drive in the Mac. You can find great tutorials on YouTube on how to remove and replace your drive. 5. Restart your Mac and it will find your new Toshiba drive and boot seamlessly. Carbon Copy may ask you to install a Recovery Disk. If so, say OK.

A: Yes should have no problems
Q: Can this be installed in a desktop computer (with/an adapter)?

A: undefined
Q: Will this drive work with L655 S5096?
A: Toshiba Satellite L655-S5096 Laptop comes with 3 USB v2.0 ports (2 USB + 1 eSATA/USB combo), it will work for this drive even the laptop doesn't have any USB 3.0 port. But it will only get 480 megabits per second (mbps) instead of the maximum bandwidth rate of 5 gigabits per second (gbps).
Q: Can I use this to replace the HDD on my Dell Inspiron 15 (5547)?
A: Yes, this will fit the Dell Inspiron 15 and most other laptops that use a standard 2.5" Harddrive. Desktop PCs may require the use of a 3.5" adapter (not included).
