egarding HDD, an internal SATA 3.5" Consumer Electronics Grade one would be compatible with our system. We recommend that you only purchase Consumer Electronics Grade Hard Drives such as: Western Digital Audio Video Green Power (AV-GP), Seagate SV35 Series, Hitachi Cinema Star Series. You may go Amazon, search for "Western Digital AV-GP".

I used a 160 GB Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Drive that I removed from an old Dell computer. It works fine.

I noticed that the hard disk sizes were somewhat different as I looked at different systems. I chose one with a 750 gig hard disk. Plenty of free space.

Go to crucial.com and run the "Crucial System Scanner" this will tell you what hard drives and RAM is compatible with your system. I hope this helps. Rick

The 745 is fine. It will handle Windows 7 readily. Like CrabAss said, what the cause of the failure? Power supply, motherboard burn-out? If it's a problem with the old drive like a virus, then you will just be replicating the problem in a new PC if you hook up the old HDD as a slave. Assuming there is nothing wrong with the old HDD, then follow Crabasse's instructions.

The computer is new. So only thing on the hard drive is the default programs. But I would not recommend this computer. It has too many issues to list here. I won't be buying it again.

No. Get something more reliable like a WD BLUE OR BLACK (black is better) This drive failed on me after only 4 months in my Xbox 360. I replaced it with a 360mb WD black after a lot of careful research.

This is a blank hard drive. Should be a match for it. Just make sure that it is the one you are looking for. you run the system recovery disk on it.

Regardless - Go with WD or even Seagate. I have 5 portable drives (2 WD, 2 Seagate, 1 Toshiba) the Toshiba is the newest. I treat them all the same but the Toshiba is the only one crapping out on me in less than a year. Their laptops are KILLER though. It's possible that I just got a dud, but that's my current experience.

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdfAlso consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

I believe it is possible to use with a PS system. check and match with your current HD before buying and getting screwed.

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

I am not too sure, but this is the wd website: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=600, your hard drive is in there.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, the drive is for a Drobo Raid and it's not something that concerned me when I made the purchase. It was however physically an exact match to the Older drive it replaced, I hope that helps.

It should work fine, it looks like the stock hard drive on that model was a SATA II at 5400 RPM's. So this model should work just fine as a replacement.

Iam sorry, I do not have the slightest idea what hard drive it uses. Best bet is to call customer service
