You've probably already purchased a hard drive of some type by now, but the Hitachi 1 TB Deskstar HD31000 IDK/7K is a standard size 3.5 internal hard drive. It should fit in any PC.

I installed it in a HP2730p. Spec's were 1.8" SATA II interface. Dropped right in. No Trim, Fast drive for the price.

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

Mine has an 80 gig hard drive. That's the only thing that is out of place on this item as far as the description went. I only purchased the tower, in one description it stated 160 gig and in the shopping cart it stated 80 gig. for the price the 80 gig was fine with me so I purchased the item. The machine works great and 80 gig is more than enough hard drive for what I do.

Hello, this is a standard 320gb sata hard drive for laptop. As long as your computer supports SATA this should not be an issue. You may want to do more research on your laptop being compatible with sata drives.

Sorry, but I have no experience with your case or hd. Why would Amazon think a consumer could answer a tech question such as this?If this hard disk is of a normal size and uses a normal 4 screw mounting system, then the hd will fit the tray. However, to determine if the tray will fit in your case, you will need to check an HP site for your case or one of the parts resellers to see if there is an HP factory tray that fits your case and if it matches this one.

Looking up the specs for this workstation on line, it gives the hard drive spec as:Hard Disk Drives*Up to 60GB/ 7,200 RPM or 80GB/ 5,400 RPM, EIDE/ATA-1. There is no mention of SATA, only EIDE and ATA.The spec sheet is dated 2005. This is an old computer. I have a feeling that this is not workable, but I can't prove it.

Sorry for the late reply - I have been travelling. The drive was described as a Seagate ST33000650NS. The supplier phoned and asked if it was OK to provide an HP branded equivalent MB33000EBKAB. I accepted. The part arrived - was brand new. The label had BOTH part numbers on it - so I was happy. If you check the Seagate site you will find that the drive is an ES.2 not an ES.3. Main difference is the amount of cache. ES.2 has 64MB and ES.3 has 128MB. The description was accurate, the title should not have referenced ES3. I am happy anyway - great drive.

I have no experience with this specific hard drive. But . . . The important bits are #1 Size = 3.5in. There are two(2) internal bays for 3.5 inch drives. The drive brackets are already included, they just slide right in. #2 is the interface: there are 4 available SATA 3.0 connectors on the motherboard. One(1) Sata 3.0 data cable is included for the Primary drive. If you add a second drive you will need to get another data cable for it. #3 Power, there are two power cables included with multiple connectors available as well, these will cover most installations Go to the Lenovo website and search for the "ThinkServer TS140 Hardware Maintenance Manual" it has all the specs and instructions for hard drive installation.

I purchased this HD to replace the original hard drive of my HP PAVILLION dv7-1243cl - if you have removed your hard drive you will see a label with details about the drive - it would appear this drive works with your laptop - I suggest you contact the vendor to confirm - the vendor supposedly warranties HD for 1-3 years - Link-Tronics . 12630 Westminster Ave. #A, Santa Ana, CA 92706. Phone:714-554-8677. Hour: M-F 10AM-6PM. Founded in 1994 - my new HD has been working okay now for about 6 months - you will have to reinstall WINDOWS - hope you have system disks or image. I luckily located a 3rd party that had WINDOWS 7 OS for sale otherwise I would have been out of luck.

It's the size of a standard 3.5" hard drive, and the power dissipation is similar or lower than other 3.5" hard drives. Mine are in a Cooler Master 4 in 3 HDD Module Device - (STB-3T4-E3-GP), inside a Cooler Master Centurion 590 ATX Mid Tower Case Black - (RC-590-KKN1-GP), but there's a ton of external SATA enclosures that should work with this drive. Choose based on what interfaces you need (SATA, USB, Firewire). Most important, the WD20EARS needs to have 4kB blocks, properly aligned in your file system to perform efficiently.

Yes. With any application there is a balance between speed, efficiency, and heat generation. With a NAS speed is less important for a small group of users. You will probably get better performance for a desktop with another drive that has a faster spindle speed and more cache. I only buy Hitachi drives and have for years because of their reliability. They made the drives for IBM servers for many years. They shipped in HP servers and I never saw one fail.

I wouldn't buy any Hitachi Hard drives. As a computer technician, I use either Seagate, Western Digital, or Toshiba Hard Drives. If you want a hard drive that lasts longer then 11 months, then do not buy this.

I am not familiar with the hitachi products, but I absolutely LOVE the Seagate... For all my graphics, pictures and movies, it is above the bar! You wont be disappointed!

I bought 4 of these: Seagate 1TB Laptop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 8MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Drive Retail Kit (STBD1000100) They were on-sale at the time for $69. You should be able to find something with equivalent stats for around that price.

If the Hitachi hard drive has SATA connections and the HP Pavilion model has an open SATA data connector. That's all there is to it. Both are either SATA connectable or not. IDE ribbon cables are much bigger and it's easy to tell the difference. Most motherboards of PCs anymore have up to 4 SATA data connectors. After that, it's a matter of connecting the power. The last Hitachi hard drive I worked with (500GB) was in internal SATA drive.

i looked at your laptop detailed specs. and i bought this drive for an hp laptop similar to yours, and here is the tech specs of my laptop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01896913 comparing it with yours, i think they are the same. i replaced this sdd drive with my sata drive and it fit perfectly. usually, if your drive is sata, then this one will work fine with you. as for the 9.5 mm and 7mm, i think there is a special case that you put the hard drive in it and then use screws to plug this case to the laptop itself - my hp is like this - then the difference will not matter with you. also, i have searched on youtube and found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPeDhyrqG98 it shows you how to install ssd drive in your laptop. i hope this info is sufficient for you. and i can tell you, my laptop is not gaming one and was becoming very slow and thinking about buying a new laptop. when i install this drive in it, i notices difference in the performance of windows 7 and 8. the laptop became very fast, and i was really happy about it. try to buy the largest size in GB that suits your budget because 250 GB is very little for me.
