Laptops all use size 2.5. The Seagate model here is for Desktops and is size 3.5 .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The drive you posted the SKU for is a 3.5" internal for desktops. You would need to get a 2.5" laptop SATA drive like SKU: 4225101
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This drive will not fit in your laptop. Barracuda drives are 3½" drives. Your laptop uses 2½" drives. The Momentus family of drives will fit in your laptop. Make sure you verify with Toshiba before purchasing a drive. They may have issues with heat from drives faster than the one that originally shipped with your laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need either 2.5" laptop drive. This one says "Desktop" on the box.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To figure out whether it will fit, check the height of the device, if it's 5.75 then it's gonna be a 3.5 inch form fact connector and not fit in a laptop, A .5 inch one is gonna to however be the 2.5 inch form factor connector which is for laptops. Unfortunately best buy does not include connector form factor in their specs, but they usually just label them as desktop or laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this is a desktop drive. You need a notebook drive.
