320GB HD Is the 320GB HD a standard SATA 2.5" hard drive? Can it be replaced by a standard 2.5" SSD?

This ssd is m-sata interface based and can be ONLY installed on m-sata socket. It's not a traditional 2'5 inches hard drive. You should double check to ensure your computer has a msata socket.

You can use regular 2.5" HDDs but you'll want to pay attention to the thickness of the drive. I went with a WD Red 1TB. I don't have the article handy but there is a good writeup out there on the max thickness and even how to mod it for thicker drives.

This is your average internal hard drive for a PC. This is considered a 3.5" drive. Smaller laptop ones are considered 2.5" hard drives.

Sorry this drive is a 3.5" which will not fit in the space of 2.5" which most laptops use. It is a great drive for my MacPro desktop. It starts up much faster than standard hard drive.

The hard drive is a 1.8" form factor micro-sata drive. Any capacity drive is supported, so long as it is 1.8" form factor with a micro-sata connection.

The standard configuration is: 2 optical drives (DVD/BD/CD), 3x3.5" HDD drives (I believe your two 1TB qualify) and 2x2.5" SSD drives.As an option you can add a second 3-drive 3.5" cage (sold separately) or install 2.5" SSD drives in the 3.5" drive trays instead of the 3.5" HDDs.I hope this helps.

the other two replies here are a bit misleading; yes all notebook-sized hard drives are 2.5" platters, but the drive height is what makes a difference. standard is 9.5mm, while the drive you linked is 12.5mm. i haven't actually received the laptop yet, though i did read a review saying there appeared to be enough room for a larger drive like that.safest bet is to stick with 9.5mm height drives, of which 1tb varieties were recently made available. hope this helps!

2.5 inch, no room for an 3.5 drive you should go with the SSD, its easier on the power supply. I am not sure the compatibility between sata 2 & sata 3, the box has USB 3, that is good. I was surprised to see the box run win server 2012 when we loaded it as a domain controller.

Yes, it is upgradeable to 240/500GB M2 SSDs, but you need to void the warranty (as it requires modification of the internal hardware and opening the computer) and requires some configuration from the HDD, so it is possible a clean install of Windows may be required after modification to accomodate the new SSD drive.

The size you have is that of a standard 2.5" disk. This is intended to go into an msata slot, where the drive in your toshiba is likely a standard 2.5" disk. The only way to know for sure is to open the hard disk compartment.Many times when you replace a laptop hard drive, there is a cage or attachment to stabilize it. This part is manufacturer specific and would have to be transferred to your new drive. This is typically 1-4 screws.It is likely you would be looking at any regular SATA ssd.

Yes it can be upgraded it's a 2.5" drive. The one it comes with(or at least mine) is Western Digital Model#: WD5000BPVT. Search that hard drive model and you will find all kinds of information about it. It is the one that is in it and the same form factor will have to replace it.Height 9.5mmWidth 69.75mmLength 100.3mm

Hi, for all Sony Vaio computer, it uses 2.5" SSD, which means your SATA drive should be 2.5". -Ely

A 2.5" sata drive will work - there's a slot for that type of drive. A ssd is not required. However, a spinning disk will be considerably slower than a ssd and you can definitely tell the difference.

Yes, it is a standard size Sata. It does not matter whether you are using mac or PC they both use the same kind of hard drives, they are just formatted differently
