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.What you need such as brackets to secure it in the bay are separate. But the good news is that they are only a few bucks and can be ordered at Best Buy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, mounting brackets are not included. The only thing that is included is a spacer, I assume for fitting into a slightly thicker area where a mechanical hard drive used to be.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this is a bare drive. SSD drives are very light and can be secured with velcro if needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just the drive and a spacer. Mounts anywhere a standard laptop (2.5 in) drive goes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, laptop mounting brackets are usually specific to your brand. However, most laptops come with the spare bracket installed, so it may be worth checking.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. You would have to acquire the correct adapter from the manufacturer of your laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, no mounting brackets. And this SSD died within a month for me. Get something else.
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.
