    Works fine, didn't fit Toshiba Satellite NB15t

    I bought this to replace a dead 500 GB HDD in our Toshiba Satellite NB15t. Drive was recognized by bios and I was able to reinstall Window 8 on it, but it was actually slightly thicker than the original MQ01ABF050 drive the computer came with, so the back cover bulges out a little. The package didn't show the model number, which turned out to be MQ01ABD050, being 9.5mm thick instead of the original's 7mm. I'll have to make another purchase of the original MQ01ABF050 now :-(.

    Toshiba makes a great laptop hard drive. I would suggest trying on of these drives if you want a product that will not die with a year or two.

    I needed a new laptop HDD after the original one in my laptop from 2010 crashed. As someone who just learned to build my own desktop PC this year, it was very easy to install and I haven't had any problems since installation.

    DEAD after only 30 days!

    Bought this hard drive to replace one that had failed in my Macbook Pro. Easy installation - worked well at first. Over time my computer got slower - froze up a few times until it died after about 30 days in use. I'm really shocked! Didn't expect it to die after only 1 month. Currently looking into the included 3 year warranty - went to file a claim. My only option is a "coupon" for the Toshiba website. Unfortunately, the replacement hard drives don't ship until March! On top of the fact that you have to ship them your old drive and wait for them to get it before you get your coupon. I can't afford to wait well over a month to get my computer fixed. I'm not sure if I want another Toshiba hard drive either. What am I going to do?
