It is ready to use. I'm not sure if it will fit your HP touchmaster. I bought a 6TB for my computer, installed, plugged the cable and Win recognized it!

All hard drives are complete drives the difference between a bare drive also referred to as an OEM drive and a retail kit is that the retail package will come with cables, software, screws and instruction book where the OEM comes with only the drive.... Either drive OEM or retail will operate the same really just depends on if you need the SATA cable and screws or not.....

SATA data and power cable needed. Most newer computers have them attached or in packaging. Some computers have a bay as part of the case some do not. Mine did not, I used a nylon tie and a paper clip until I get a chance to get one.

Yes, fortunatly as these things progress there is a standard applied to these and it fits easy. It litterally needs a #1 phillips to remove the cover and it plugs in. I hope when you got your laptop you created the backup disk or USB drive it needed. If not there still might be time if the drive is not totally dead. This will restore your new drive to factory like specs with ease. BTW this drive is faster than you OEM and you should notice some improved performance.

No, it's an empty case - you have to buy a power supply and mount it in the case.

No, it is just a barebones case without any accessories. Also, doesn't include the power supply either, so you'll have to pick one up that matches your motherboard and drives.

It is a cover with a SATA socket inside and USB outside. I bought one when my lap top motherboard gave in. I removed the hard drive, slipped it in the cover and copied all data to my new laptop. BestBuy geek squad would have charged about 85 dollars for that. It would be nice to get a hard drive for this price. :-))

Mine was new and arrived sooner than i was expected to be deliver, however i bought mine with no HDD (hard drive) because i had an extra... But you could buy it at a local computer store!!! Good luck!!

From what i see, the enclosure has 4 small screws in the bottom and glued on feet on top of them. I haven't opened the case yet but I feel confident you can open and replace the drives. I wish you can buy the case and put the drive yourself. Ummm, let me check on that, come to think of it.

It does not include the screw for slide in and out bay, like the new HP envy desktop pc, which need 4 fat head crews, the included screws won't work. having a hard time finding the right screws and/or adapter.

This is just a case for a drive, not a drive itself. You need to purchase that separately.

Mine did not come with screws. I used one screw that was available in my case. No issues so far with the drive.

If this is a relatively new computer with an up to date operating system, nothing other than using any disc that came with the drive and an open slot in the case for mounting. Windows should do the rest.

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.

Not sure if I understand the question but from what I remember you unscrew those 4 screws with an allen key and it opens right up. Installing the hard drive is pretty simple. Just plug it on in, and you're good to.

Yes. It works but the package does not include case for external use, mounting screws (if your case needs them) or cables. If you are replacing a drive in a computer, you can use the screws and cable already there. This is a SATA drive so the computer and cable must also be SATA.

Your hard drive should have already come with a set of cables (either HD/Firewire/USB). This case does not come with any cables and the picture provided by Amazon only shows how your cables can fit into the case.

There is no magic here. There is a 3.5" SATA HDD inside the case. If you do a web search on 'teardown ST3000DM001' (or whatever model you choose) you can get instructions how to pull out the drive so you can install it inside any system. These are always cheaper than bare drives. Go figure. Of course you are likely to void your warranty in the process.
