I have a TOSHIBA MK2565GSX 2.5 drive in my laptop now. It is a sata drive. Can this sata lll drive be used in it's place??

Yes. Sata 3 drives are backwards compatible with Sata 2 Connections and vice versa. But you'll be capped with Sata 2 speed.

Yes, the Samsung SSD 830 will throttle down to Sata2 if your laptop chipset has Sata2 configuration. Otherwise, It'll run as Sata3 if your laptop has Sata3 chipset in it. Other words, Samsung SSD 830 is backward compatible with Sata2.

I believe so. As long as the drive fits in your current laptop, you should be fine.

Some hd have different thickness. This one would fit most likely, but you do want to make sure it doesn't wiggle around. Also that your os support trim.

Yes. Your Toshiba is an mSata drive. This device is for connecting your Toshiba drive to it, then using this device to connect it to a regular SATA connection.

You should be fine. The target drive has to be SATA, but the source drive will be read by the controller on the mobo. The supplied cord will not plug into the old drive, so you won't be able to use it to interface the old drive later.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

If the connector has a double row of pins, it's IDE; otherwise it's SATA. This enclosure will only work with a SATA drive.By selecting MK1655GSX and pasting it into Google, it's easy to find out that this drive is a SATA drive.

Couple of approaches I'd suggest: go to the Toshiba Support site for your laptop (it requires a serial or model number - the C675-7106 number did not work for me) and look for hard drive specs and, potentially, a list of compatible replacement internal hard drives. You could also go to Crucial.com and work with their site or tech support to find out which hard drives are compatible with your laptop. I have found Crucial to be very reliable on ensuring replacement RAM and storage they sell is compatible with your hardware.

Absolutely. This will work on PATA and SATA drives both 3.5" and 2.5". The 2.5" is what would be in the laptop.It is an excellent product. I have another one which I bought earlier but this one has some additional featureslike the on/off switch.

this would be a PATA drive to my knowledge. SATA has a small slot style connector instead of all the pins

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.

as long as your laptop takes a SATA drive, you should be able to use this drive to replace it. The drive will detect the capability of the system and adjust its transfer speed to remain compatible

Hello, as far as I know, this SATA drive will works flawlessly in your netbook or any other laptop. I hope it clarifies your questions. Regards. David

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 don't know, but here are the more specific questions you should be asking:1. Will it fit correctly? There are two different sizes of 2.5" HDDs (normal & slim)2. Does the laptop support SATA II?3. Do you have the restore disks to reinstall everything? (Not specific to this HDD)

Not officially, but as long as the drive has a standard SATA port, you can set it in there and lean it up against the side of the thing. It will read, but it is by no means a permanent solution. For laptop drives lookup the thunderbolt goflex adapter, it's better suited for 2.5 inch drives.

Yes, that laptop uses a SATA connection for the hard drive...though it is half the size of the original hard drive in the system (250GB compared to 500GB for the original)

It should work with any sata hardrive that is 2.5". The MK2552GSX is a sata hardrive.

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.
