This drive is very slow. I'd look elsewhere. possibly one with a usb port as well to pull data off if you forget the network admin password. I wouldnt bother with this.

Sorry, I am not helping. But I have bad experience with this product. No technical support if you have problem. Just avoid this.

Has to have their software. Mine crashed and I called and had to have it replaced. Don't do their expedited service either. They tried to get me on it and the guy couldn't explain the process and 3 calls later I had them just have me ship mine in and they sent me a brand new unit.

Yes, according to the manufacturer you can replace any drive at any time. Just be cautious if you use raid, you will need to be able to "split" you capacity in half so it is best to have a balanced distribution of drive capacity.

None...you install the hard drives you want, If you go to their website you can find out a lot of answers. www.bufflaotech.com

Check the following. 1. Right click on my computer and select manage option. 2. Expand Storage and select Disk Management. 3. If you see the new hard drive, check if Initialized. If not you'll have to initialize and format it before you can use. Hope this helps.

Hi Ryan, As many laptops and desktops that I've owned since I bought my first in 1983, I've never gone to the trouble of altering the hard drive setup in a laptop. First of all there's not much space to alter/add hard drive real estate inside a laptop. Second, you are almost sure to have hardware compatibility problems with the new Windows 8 with your older HD. If you want to do this because you want to save your old files on your old HD, there's Windows software that will transfer your old stuff into the new laptop easily/safely. Desktop computers have always been easier to modify due to the space inside them. I would not recommend trying to "open up" any laptop. If you need more storage, buy a big terrabyte standalone HD. There're pretty cheap right now and are good for backups anyway. Jim

I am not sure. But like you I am also having problems with my hard drive. It has to be replaced.

I have this system and it's been working very well for 4 years on the same hard drive. If the hard drive fails, just get another one and the system will automatically configure it. Very easy!

Yes If you are replacing a hard drive just remove the old hard drive and put the new one in the caddy there might be screws you would have to remove and put back in.

This is a hard drive used to replace the original drive that failed. Simply install this drive where your original drive was located. Turn on computer, insert your recovery disk and follow the prompts. You may have to use a disk that the drive came with to format the drive before use.

you need to open your laptop and replace the broken HDD, after that you need to install new windows on your computer.

Yes, it can be replaced. I have done it myself. As others already mentioned you will need a msata ssd

Ok thanks for the mesg. I don't think I will change the partition. It seems partitioning the drive leads into some errors, esp after storing some files.

You can use windows backup to backup your entire harddrive including the hidden recovery partition to a 16gb flash drive. Then use that drive to boot and recover your hdd in the event of a total hdd failure. No need to buy a new OS or send in to Asus

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

These unit have easy accessible drives, which can be replaced easily. Contact the vendor you purchased this from and they will send you a new unit to replace it. To remove the drive press the rectangular latch towards the upper right of the drive to expose the latch, and simply pull it out. when you get the new drive simply pop it in.

Unless you are skilled in disassembling a notebook, you should not try to change the drive. I changed the drive on my MacBook Pro with great difficulty but it's possible.
