Is the kit compatible with other drives? I have a second laptop to upgrade and wonder if I can use the same adapter and software.

hi, the driver is actually a mirror just to clone the OS from your current disk to the new SSD. you may use it in as many laptop as you want to

Hi, Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to answer your question. The USB adapter and Cloning Software can be used with nearly any system and as many times as you wish. The USB adapter is USB 2.0 and can work with any USB 2.0 compliant system and the Acronis Cloning software is designed to clone Windows Operating systems.

I think it would work fine. Neither is single use, and I used the adapter and software to do drive backups after migrating to the new SSD drive.

Yes but you might want to check first if you are replacing a old non-SATA hard drive.

most laptops only have one port for hard drives. you can swap the two, but generally cannot add a second.

I just installed it in my daughter's Toshiba laptop last night with the same series of laptop you mention. Just don't lose the screws when you take the other hard drive out. I am assuming that you will clone the original to it. Or load an OS with it. Either way my daughter is up and running all day just fine!

With this kit I was able to install a 2nd hardrive in the lower drive bay kit. it's worth the price, on the ifixit site it was 70.00. Both drives are up and running and you should be able to do the install with instructions from ifixit. Good luck if you need more assistance contact me here on amazon

I dont know that computer, but I had no issues installing in my laptop replacing an 80Gb drive. So long as the connector/drive type is the same - you should be good. Note: get an external SDD drive kit that's made to clone the drive - if you don't want to reinstall everything. It made install fast and simple.

Not being a real computer geek, I can't give a 100% positive answer, but I think most hard drives are compatible with just about anything. Of all the hard drives I've installed or have had fail and replaced, I've never had a compatibility problem with anything.

yeah, i bought this drive and it works perfectly with the laptop. It takes 2 of the 3 usb ports, but is great for loading software onto it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DUDWXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I would see no reason why not. I use mine with both usb 3 and usb 2 pc's with no issues. I use it with a 500gb 2.5 sata drive in a usb 3 enclosure as well as the same setup in a usb 2 enclosure as well as flash drives in both flavors. It has worked flawlessly with both but is noticeably faster with the usb 3 interface on the laptop. I remember there being some question whether it would power an external hard drive through the port, without an external power connection but all of my usb devices power fine through the hub.

All SATA is backward compatible AFAIK. I think that's why Seagate doesn't mention it in their specs. I've never had a problem -- I'm using two of these (3GB each) in a NAS that only supports 3gbs.

I have an old 120 GB laptop drive hooked up w USB, works fine. I see in the reviews, people have hooked up 3 and 4 terabyte drives.

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.

It should work with anything that matches the interface... There is no software associated with the adapter, so it's the host system. I put this in a Toshiba Laptop, with an mSata drive and it worked perfectly...

not all drives are supported,recommend downloading the manual.I followed neweggs "to manufactures site" to get it.

This drive has a SATA interface, I don't know if you might be able to get an adapter.

Should work fine, use the adapter from the drive you are replacing if possible.

I'm only using the one drive it came with right now. It might have software raid. You can ask the seller via their support link at deepdiscountservers.com.

I have 3 of these Sabrent drive enclosures and I populated two with 500GBs and one with 1TB. All three worked as I expected. BTW, I only tested them on USB 2.0 connections. I'm still waiting for my "GMYLE® ExpressCard 34mm to USB 3.0 Adapter (Dual Port)" to see if the USB 3.0 connection is any better. I currently do not have a machine with a "native" USB 3.0 interface. I have not tested these units using an SSD.
