I bought this one to my ps3 and Perhaps could work in your laptop. In my ps3 it's working very, very fine.

Yes it will work - seeing it is already using a 500gb SATA hard drive - so you should be fine to swap it out with 750gb hard drive. Hope this helps!

physically, it will fit. its a standard laptop sized hdd just like the original one it came with. software wise, i dont see why it wont since again its a standard hdd, but take what i say with a grain of salt.

Hughes, sorry to hear that the product did not work for you. I ordered the same hard drive for my Toshiba which uses the IDE connector and it worked fine. In same laptops it is not easy to fit in the hard drive and align the pins properly but if your laptops uses IDE connectors, I am very positive that the product will work. As far as i know, the hard drive is either a SATA, PATA or IDE kind of technology. And if it IDE, that drive should be able to work. However, your situation may be different am not sure, but all i say mine is working fine. Otherwise you can also try to compare with the old one and see if there is a match. Thank you.

If you go to crucial.com, you can enter your make/model and it will tell you which products will work. This is very similar to system I installed the drive in, no problems, huge performance boost. But double check crucial ' s site before purchasing.

Not familiar w/ that notebook per se, but, assuming it already has a primary HDD, then must look to see if there's a spot for a secondary. You might also need mounting hardware: screws to attach the drive to some frame/bracket/"carrier" that then mounts the ensmble to the laptop. At least this is what I needed to add this drive as secondary to my Dell Latitude 3300 - only had a 60GB mSata HDD as original equip't. As for the drive itself, a terrific choice (whether as primary or secondary): quiet, fast, and well built (5 yr warranty!). Did I say fast? Hope this helps.

I read that it is replaceable. Here is the faq on the HP website on how to do it:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01336197&lc;=en&cc;=us&dlc;=en&p;roduct=3660805Apparently, you replace the hard drive, press the factory reset pin and it should work.

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.

My HP laptop came with a 750gb hdd and I have no problems clonning the disc to the new SSD. I used the Acronis version that came with the SSD and the original disc had only 35gb used

Not required for laptops! This bay is designed for desktop computers with HD bays. Your laptop should have a space designed for an SSD and this SSD has various screw holes in it (screws included) that should fix it inside your laptop just fine. I cannot say for sure as I do not have experience with your model but I do know SSDs do not usually require bays when placed inside laptops.Enjoy the awesome upgrade!

Hi, are you using the same insert/caddy that was originally in your laptop? The hard drive won't work unless you are using the correct/original caddy.Hope this helps!

even tho this screen does not say HD it should work, you all ways would like to match word for word or letter for letter but in this case when your are looking for replacement parts you will find compatible pieces. I have used this part in a HP laptop and the original part all so said HD. If this is what your are referring to then you will be fine. good luck

From what I found on HP's site you should have no problem replacing your 40Gb with the WD1600AAJB 160Gb drive. And at $32 it's a good option. It IS an IDE drive. Be sure you match the jumper in the back to match your existing drive. Since you're replacing a 7200 rpm with another 7200 rpm I don't think you will see much of a speed difference since the specifications are pretty much the same. The seek time is the only difference I can find from 10 (old drive) to 8.9ms (new drive).

Had no problems with my HP notebook (not a probook) but according to HP this hard drive will fit your laptop (given that there are very few, if not 1, laptop HD size).

Depends, do you mean as something you plug into an expansion port on the side of the laptop? No - Do you mean something that you are using as a replacement of the original laptop HDD? Yes, if you have the knowledge of how to install it

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

Hi there and thanks for your interest in this listing. The ad gives just the basic configuration that the laptop came with, most sellers will either upgrade the hard drive or leave it as is depending on the stock at hand. If the hard drive is upgraded, the upgrade is mentioned in the tech specs/condition. Different sellers will have differing tech specifications on their ad depending on the model and configuration they have. I hope that answers your question.
