You will have to go place that work on computer to update computer unless you have the knowledge your self the cost is not that much and if you go to the right shop it will done right.

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.

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.

You cant, the drive is a cheap scam. The chip in it tells your computer it has 256gb of storage but in reality it probably has less than 1gb. This scam is successful because most people wont return this and just figure it a loss.

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

The hard drive is perfectly fine and fits all requirements for the laptop, however your lenovo was not made for a hard drive swap and I dont think it can be done

I suggest the Seagate Desktop 1 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6 GB with NCQ 64 MB Cache 3.5 Inch (ST1000DX001) for about $85 from Amazon, if you have Amazon Prime shipping is included. But one thing needs to be clear, no matter which hard drive you choose check the type of power & data cable connections before buying ( today most use SATA). Also if you are transferring your data or operating system from your old hard drive to the new one.

A Sata Hard drive are very easy to come by in many sizes. Just seach amazon for a SATA hard drive and pick your size. Be sure to check what type of sata drive you need. I think this unit needs a SATA 2 or 3. I purchased a 400GB hard drive and it works great.Something like this ... WD Black 320 GB Mobile Hard Drive, 2.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA II, 16 MB Cache (WD3200BEKT) (Old Model)

You don't need a proprietary Microsoft one. I ordered this Hausbell one, which was the cheapest available at Amazon, at the time: Hausbell ® 320G HDD Hard Disk Drive For Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim -it installed very easily and automatically, and has worked perfectly. There are larger ones now available, and I'd guess other brands are just as good. In fact, my drive had nothing that identified it as a "Hausbell" drive -the drive looked totally generic. Note that this and other drives advertised and/or labeled as for the Slim, work fine on the 360E because the octagonal slots are identical. You don't need a proprietary Microsoft one.

Sure. As with any other drive in any other machine, you'll need to pull the drive and us the DriveWire to connect it to a working computer. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/324640/Lenovo-Ideacentre-B540.html?page=52#manual shows you how to perform disassembly and drive removal.

The largest drives this unit supports are the Seagate Constellation ES.3 (Model number ST5000NM0024) which is a 5TB drive. Filling every bay with these 5TB drives will grant you 40TB maximum storage in RAID0 or JBOD modes, but in order to allow redundancy (if a drive fails you don't lose your data) you will need to set it up as RAID 5, giving you 35TB of space (one drive is treated as 'parity' which means if another drive fails, that spare drive will maintain your backup data). To see all drives that are compatible with the unit, go to the QNap Product site, and click on the "Compatibility" link under "Products". From there, click on the 3.5" link and select the model you wish to see the drive compatibility of. It will give you a huge list of every drive manufacturer, and each model number of drive they have tested, verified works, and support.

You have to put a jump drive in there, in the back. * 2GB seems to be the best idea, minimum. * But you can't use just any jump drive, because the slot is deeper and more narrow than you typically find on electronics (thanks a lot, Sony). * And (as if that wasn't annoying enough) I just got one to fit, but the 350 still won't recognize it. * Look at the owners manual, and there is a page about external memory where they suggest a Sony product by a specific serial number. I think that's what I am gonna try. * At the end of the day, the BD-Live content looks to be a lot of nonsense, but I've gotten sorta Ahab/Moby Dick about this task, and will pursue it to pointless depths. Good luck.

You could possibly use this 3.5 inch drive if you purchase the new nyko databank which allows you to use 3.5 inch HDDs but dont use anything higher than 4TB.

I wish I knew. I know cars!! If my computer were a car I could make it sing!!! I just went with the 2TB to make sure I could back up everything; including the o/sys. Sorry. I guess in my gut I felt that the C-2 was what I needed.

You can install data drives, 3.5" models. All must be the same mfg, model and size. IBM does recommend certain drives and you can find them at their website for the device.
