I have a Toshiba A305-S6841 laptop. Could I use this drive to replace my "C" drive?

A 2.5" disk is a 2.5" disk. Does your machine take a 2.5"? Take the back off and have a look.

Yes. but beware that this is a 7200RPM drive which may run hotter than a 5400RPM drive which is usually included in most laptops. If you already had heat problems, i wouldn't recommend it. If you usually run cool, go for it. =) I put this in my PS4, and it performs beautifully.

If the existing drive in your laptop has a SATA interface the HGST should be be backward compatible. The issue will be physical dimensions: the width and depth of 2.5" drives are standards but the HGST's 9.5 mm height might be an issue. Check the model number of the drive you are replacing, then Google its specs. If the height is 9.5 mm or greater you should be ok. The HGST is noticeably faster if you can make it work (and larger, of course).

It does create a complete clone. I have deleted everything on my HD and then restored the OS and data. I don't believe you can use it as a C drive but, it will format a new drive to look like your old one.

Dear soumik: you have to replace the generic ram and it would be able to upgrade up to 8Gb 1333 Mhz ( http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4005071&isFromTOCLink=false). Second to tear apart is relative what is easy or hard for you, anyways here a link with a small tutorial (http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Toshiba/SATELLITE~C55-A5105/) I hope this would help.

My Toshiba laptop is a different model so I can not directly answer your questions. However, the product is excellent and I received the product much faster than I had expected.

So long as the computer connects the drive using SATA ports then yes it can replace the Toshiba HD MQ01ABD075/Drive REVAAHAA00/Ax001c.

Hi Kevin, I'm sorry but I don't know :) My advice / comments were based only on the c500sa, if the current card in your system is not embedded into the motherboard, then I believe it should work. Best thing to do is to crack the laptop open and check it out....maybe this link will help you http://www.jdhodges.com/blog/asus-q200e-ssd-upgrade-swap-hdd/ same procedure to change the drive, you can see the wifi NIC above and right of the harddrive. Please do this at your own risk....

I'm not too sure, I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6965. However, check the link below for compatibility:

I replaced my Win 7 Lenovo's laptop hard drive with this one and it works fine. However, since the connector on this drive is not an USB type connector I wonder how you managed to get it to work as a USB. In any case, if you already have a primary hard drive with Windows on C, you need I would suspect you need to configure this "additional hard drive as a "slave" drive. Then you can only partition it as a logical drive, i.e. additional partition.

Absolutely should! If you can remove your laptop hard drive, then you can replace it with this one. Do it, and you will not regret it!

I'm sure it is but I have found the drive to be unreliable and Toshiba's support is somewhere between zero and non existent. There are far better products out there and I'd consider them instead.

I am not sure. Is that the system unit number? I think it's safe to say, it is compatible with all Toshiba Satellite Series laptops. I have a Satellite C55-A5309. I have been using it as a replacement because I lost my original one. It works just fine, maybe even better.

Should be. I upgraded my C55 units with this stick and it worked fine. Crucial and Kingston specs line up but you should search those sites for compatibility. Check Toshiba specifications but you are specifically looking for DDR3-1600 or PC3-12800 values.

Yes, as long as your computer has an available USB port, this drive should work for you. Mine has been great!

I can't see why not. As long as the drive connector is correct, it should work. Check Crucial's website on compatibility. It has a wizard that walks you through. I also bought the "Laptop Upgrade Kit" to do a complete clone copy of my old drive to the new drive.

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work in any modern laptop or desktop, as long as there's room and an available connector. It would certainly work as a replacement for the original drive.

I can use it as an E: drive, just cant make it work as a C: drive. The problem is with the Partition style, which u can find under Disk Management and by going to the C: drive Disk Device Properties....if it says it is a Partition style: GUID Partition Table (GPT), then this is NOT the drive for you if u want to make it a bootable C: drive. Kingston will just tell you to go pound sand or they will give you a refund if you want to jump thru ALL of their hoops. I spent DAYS with the Kingston Technical Dept just to find out this little bit of trivia...BTW, if you are running Windows 8 then get the 8.1 upgrade...it is free and fixes several problems.
