I have a HP TouchSmart 310 1125F with a 750 GB 2.5 SATA hard drive. Can I use this kit? Can I clone if I'm using 200gb now

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

I don't see a problem as long as you have enough room , make sure you have the room

I don't think they HAVE to be identical, but I think it is good policy to at least make sure that they are all the same size. The smallest disk in the set will cause the system to ignore any space on other volumes that go beyond that smaller size. To stick a 500GB drive in a box that has three other larger drives should give you a 2 TB box (4 X 500). Seagate might be unhappy about this, but if you stick a WD drive in their box the system should be able to make it go. The drive is compatible with SATA or it isn't, right? Warranty is another matter. That WD drive would almost certainly void your waranty. But if the box is under warranty, they should give you the correct replacement drive,

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.

I cannot answer that. This item didn't work to clone my SATA drive correctly. I returned the item for a refund.

Your computer is: a HP G61-327CL Notebook PC; which has a SATA 7200 rpm drive. Be sure that you get another 7200 rpm drive, (not a 5400 rpm). The 5400 rpm is 25% slower than the 7200 rpm drive that you have. I would suggest going up to a 500-GB 7200 rpm drive - which can be found for under $54.So, my answer would be YES. Caution to get (another 7200 rpm drive) SATA.

No. With the Startech Hard Drive Duplicator, you have to use a hard drive that has the same storage capacity or higher as the hard drive you're trying to clone. So, you will need a 500 GB (SATA or SSD) in order to clone your 500 GB hard drive. The duplicator copies sector-by-sector so you need equal sized hard drives.

Yes. I have had a computer had a 500GB plus a 1.5TB. And another with 2 SSDs which are relatively small volume and a 2TB HD. As long as you have the power and connectors you are free to add in as many of any size as you want.

I searched for the same laptops being sold and there are some on the market with a 500 gb 7200rpm sata.. Also on this hp forum they answer the question incidentally saying that that as long as it is a 2.5 inch it will fit, while the question asked was actually about being able to upgrade to 7200 rpm and 500gb and if it was worth it they answered your question. As far as I know when I did research for mine as long as it is a 2.5 in sata they normally have the same size. Unless your going to a solid state but this isn't a sold state drive anyway.Here's that link http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/G71-340US-laptop-Will-a-disk-upgrade-to-a-SATA-3-Gbit-sec/td-p/292923 I searched for the same laptops being sold and there are some on the market with a 500 gb 7200rpm sata..

no it has to be the same size or larger. in order to clone it you would have to use something like imagex to create an image to apply it to the smaller drive.

It is a hardware clone tool, I can't see any way partition until after the clone is made. Then you can go into disk management and make a new partition with the extra space on the drive. I cloned a 500gb hard drive, and there were two partitions that used 120 gb, the resultant min size of these two partitions was 320gb leaving me the remaining space to make other partitions or do whatever I like.

Yes I did. if it don't work, download easeus data partition and partition data before you clone. I went from 1tb HDD to 512 ssd with no problems

I bought: Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey) This clones the old drive and replicates it to the new drive.

I am no expert so I took out the hard drive and looked at the specs and ordered a brand with same specs such as sata drive what the amount of memory i wanted and need there are sites you can go on and put in a search to find a compatible one with the specs you find on your hard drive , hoe this hels yes I am a woman and ever did this before but It worked fine. Good Luck

To make sure what the topic is here, my comments are just about the Vantec enclosure and not about whatever drive + enclosure Vantec may sell. My drive, for what it's worth, though, and it doesn't matter, was a 225 GB HP drive pulled out of motherboard-fried HP laptop. I wanted to keep it because there was nothing wrong with it to hook as an external USB drive to either my desktop or a tablet.

If its a 2.5mm SATA. It should work. I would check with HP first since you will have to contact Windows to re-sync your Windows copy with the new Hard drive

Reporting as promised! just did the swap, first time I've done this, no problems whatsoever. Fits the FW like a glove. Bought the acomdata tango external enclosure and used Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0 (free 15 day trial) to clone the hard drive. Now I have 243gb free space instead of 9gbs. The whole thing took 4 hours (because the 250gb HD was practically full). Very easy. So, go for it I guess. Oh, and the windows experience index jumped from 4.6 to 4.7 due to the higher HD transfer rate (which went from 5.1 to 5.9)also boosting the graphics performance from 4.6 to 4.7. Good luck.

since 100GB is less than 250GB I would say your data will probably fit. However you will likely need to re install your operating system to the new drive though, typically copy-pasting operating systems doesn't work out too well.
