Probably not. You can get a drive install kit for less than $20 to do this. Check with your local Best Buy Geek Squad for help. You may not need a kit at all. They may have what is needed in their shop.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's a bare SSD. If you're replacing a 2.5" internal drive then this should fit directly into the mounting carriage that your current drive is installed in. Otherwise I'd imagine, with all of the machines I've pulled apart, that the brackets are going to be proprietary to fit into that particular laptop, and would need to be sourced from the manufacturer.
