Wrong hard drive for my laptop
347921
Didn't fit in my Dell 1440 as well as the original hard drive. Drive was thinner but did fit loosely in socket. Seems to be working,  would check specifications better before buying again.

Much older version of same drive pooped out.  Had nothing to lose, so looked into how to remove it...  Easy!!!  Found this "upgraded" version of mine here.  Just "plug-and-play" (only needed to re-position a small single-screw bracket).
Remember: Laptop drives come in different sizes.  Make sure this one ("slim drive") will fit your laptop.

A nice HDD,However I was told by DELL any HDD for a laptop is compatible in any laptop! This ones screw holes are @1/8 of an inch off so I can not use it in my Dell laptop!
Did someone screw up and put the holes in the wrong spot? My other 250Gb WD 2500BVET fits perfectly in my Dell! :/ I can use this I just can not close the clasp so I'd have to constantly push it back in place or tape the damn thing ,which I am not about to do! :( All HDDs should be standard for any Microsoft Product. 160GBs is a joke and is not nearly enough for what I need,why I ordered a 320 GB HDD!!! Sure I could order a docking station but I'm not made of money. This should have fit perfectly to begin with! :(

I thought I could use this to back-up my files on windows 8 but my HP computer didn't seem to want to recognize it as a drive!  Maybe I don't know what I'm doing with Windows 8.....

This is a 4TB hard drive, ok?! You might need to make sure you are running the operating system that supports drives bigger than 2TB, has the latest driver for the hard disk controller, etc.

I have a Windows XP 32 bit box I used as a file server. No luck seeing the entire 4TB there.

Hooked it up to a Win7 laptop. Created a GUID partition table. You won't see the entire 4TB with MBR, mind you! It was working until I copied more than 2TB of data to it. Then the disk was messed up. Must be a problem with the hard drive controller driver on this laptop. Oh, well...

After surfing the net for a few hours, built myself a Linux USB drive, used it to partition this 4TB drive to GUID partition with Linux ext2 file system. Hooked it up to my router as a network attached storage. Happy so far.

The bottom line: if you are looking for a simple upgrade, you might want to stick to 2TB hard drives for now.

I felt that I was misled when I first ordered this item. I was told that it was the right item for my laptop, unfortunately it was not the right item when it arrived. The size was a little short from top to bottom.

The Fujitsu hard drive they sent me doesn't fit in the Toshiba Satelite Pro M15-S405 .The top metal cover of the drive goes all the way over the pins and it won't let the hard drive connect. I could get a 80 GB hard drive for less the only reason I got this one is because they specifically state it will work with my laptop and I didn't wanna have  all the RMA headaches. And here I am almost two weeks later stuck with the RMA.

The data was transferred from the hard drive to the laptop but wasn't able to find out where it is saved after it was transferred

Don't rely on SeaGate to help out when your data goes missing. After spending half a day talking to their Indian based tech support and their South African based data recovery all this company could offer me was a polite "Sorry your data went missing". It should be the policy of any maker of hard drives to guarantee their product for life regardless of warranty date. Isn't the point of buying a product from a reputable company because you believe they will help you when you need help? Otherwise you might as well buy an external hard drive from the guy on the street.

I didn't know if this drive would work for my laptop. I have a dell inspiron 6000. I put the drive in and I installed windows right away.
The description for this drive is confusing. It is a Seagate MOMENTUS drive, so it is standard for many laptops.

This unit comes bad. I connect to my laptop and work 30 minutes and now doesnt work. I try to execute waranty and seagate tells me execute a tool for scan hard drive, but hard drive doesnt recognize for windows. I lost my money.

I'm sure this is an excellent drive. I cloned my entire 500GB laptop drive including Windows 7 Professional to it, but when I traded out the hard drives the laptop (Asus 24E with Intel i7 processor and 16GB of RAM) the BIOS could NOT "see" the new hard drive. It "saw" it FINE when it was attached to the USB 3.0 port inside an external case, but NOT AT ALL when inside the computer. Further checking reveals that this particular computer uses SATA2 for its internal controller... and a SATA3 WILL NOT WORK!!! Not a fault of the hard drive at all.... just a limitation of the computer hardware and BIOS.  So... check YOUR computer hardware and BIOS requirements BEFORE you order a high performance hard drive. Unfortunately, Amazon lists this hard drive in the description as SATA2.... but when you see 6mps as a specification just know that means it is SATA3. SATA2 maxes out at 3mps... so, it is EASY to tell the difference if you just look at the specifications. I was able to find another brand hard drive that runs 7,200rpm and SATA2, but the max size was 750GB... so, that's what I did... and it works fine in the Asus 24E laptop. I use this 1TB drive in a portable USB 3.0 case for external storage.

Never do reviews but had to specify the problem with this purchase. The ad said 1tb hard drive & 8gig solid state drive. I bought 2 (an i5 & i7 processors) laptops but found each was missing the 8 gig SSDs.  Shame; I feel slighted on the purchase even though the computers work well.

I've been replacing the hard drives in our house computers with Intel SSDs, so when I ordered this, I was looking forward to an evening of working with my son to replace the drive in his laptop. However, when this arrived this evening, it looks like this: [...] Is this what they mean by "drive only"? If so, I was fooled by the illustration with this product that makes it look like what I'm used to -- a drive that can go into a computer as a replacement.

Edit: I just learned what the M.2 form factor is -- it's what I received in the mail. Now I can see that this product specifies that it's in the M.2 form factor. Still, I wouldn't have made the mistake if the photo on this product matched what the product looks like.

it was a gamble between two Chinese hard drives and I crapped out.  I tried to do a fresh windows install on two different laptops then then tried it to format it on my desk top two different ways and it never even saw the drive.  I tried a mechanical drive and it showed up instantly.  save your time and try the one of the other Chinese SSD/ HDD  I'm gong to stick with the name brand one from now on.
