Toshiba - 500GB Internal Serial ATA 2.6 Hard Drive for Laptops
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 500 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: HDD (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.)

- Owner's manual
Q: will this work with a L755-S5358
A: Yes, it is compatible. Best Buy Mobile and Connectivity Specialist, Kraig
Q: Can I use this in a Satellite C855D-S5116?
A: YES You can, If you go to Toshiba support and look up your satellite model you will see it says Storage Drive6 500GB (5400 RPM) Serial ATA hard disk drive And this drive is a Serial ATA disk,2.5 inch drive so Yes it will fit
Q: Will this internal hard drive be compatible with a toshiba satellite click w35dt-a3300?
A: The Toshiba Click uses a slim 2.5in SATA hard drive. This drive in question is a 3.5in desktop hard drive.
Q: Does this package contain a bootable installation CD or DVD?
A: No, it does not. If you have a downloaded copy and put it on a DVD but the DVD is not bootable, you most likely did not create the DVD properly. Most downloaded installations for Windows are in ISO format, which are meant to decompress as they write to the disk, making it bootable in the process. If you simply put the ISO file on a DVD file, it is virtually useless. IF you did burn it properly but cannot boot, you either do not have your BIOS set to boot off of DVD or you have a DVD drive that does not support boot (rare) or, more likely, a faulty DVD drive. Assuming the DVD itself is your problem, you can either download a new copy from another PC. Most likely you need an OEM disk (disk from the manufacturer of your PC), though, which can only be obtained by contacting your manufacturer. If you have a warranty, you can many times get these for free. Otherwise, they will usually charge around $20. My only other suggestion would be to ask someone else you know that has a PC from the same vendor (not even necessarily the same model) that has the Windows 8 disk to let you borrow their installer. USE YOUR OWN WINDOWS KEY, otherwise you get into software piracy, which is illegal. I hope this helps.
A: If the laptop support the SATA interface, is should work. Keep in mind that this the laptop does not support the latest SATA III version you may not get maximum performance from the drive. I'd recommend checking the detailed specifications of the Lenovo machine to be sure.
Q: Will this replace the hard drive in a Toshiba L455-S5009
A: Yes, you can replace your original drive with this one.
Q: Is this drive compatible with Windows 7
A: Yes.
Q: Will this work for my satellite P105-S6197?
A: Yes, this will work in your laptop. If you're having hard drive problems, and given the age of the laptop, you might want to have a look at the new laptop models. Prices have come down dramatically since you bought yours.
