A:AnswerHere's the thing. I have three partitions on mine.
150gb for windows, programs and apps.
300gb for compiling and building software.
And a 500 gb partition for storage.
Now when I use storage, I use it for cloud data, such as OneDrive, and Dropbox, and all of my music and documents. I also try and build sorce code for different programs and projects. That is my second partition. And everything that the system needs like windows, subsystems for Linux, unity 3-d and visual studio all fit on my c:\
Now all of my cloud storage drives consumes about 25 gb. That includes my music archives and photo archives.
So in windows 950gb is a lot of room. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerI installed this in a late-2011 MacBook Pro with no installation issues. This should be the same for the mid-2012 models, and probably for any MacBook with an actual hard drive (many newer models have SSD or flash memory "drives").
A:AnswerIt should fit in any laptop designed with a SATA interface. You will likely have to switch a proprietary drive carriage from your old drive onto the new one for it to fit properly.
A:AnswerAlthough it should fit in any laptop designed with a SATA interface, some Apple products have finicky format requirements that can only be satisfied with a drive factory SPECIFICALLY formatted for Apple products. Either way, you will likely have to switch a proprietary drive carriage from your old drive onto the new one for it to fit properly.
A:AnswerI'd would definitely fit, however being that that's a lower end machine, you may want to consider a solid state drive as it would make it perform much faster
A:AnswerKeep in mind whether you're buying anew external or an internal hard drive. If it's external, it doesn't need to, nor would it be possible to install into the computer.
