I have the HP H8-1234 desktop. Tech support told to to get HDD, 1TB,SGT,PHARAOH,SATA-6G,EC0 as a replacement for it. Will this do the job?

I would go with the Seagate 1TB for the price. More space the better, and it is a very good price. I love Seagate drives, plus their DiscWizard in a great program.

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

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.

Without seeing the machine, it's hard to tell, but I've seen some websites which suggest that it uses a PATA (or IDE) drive rather than SATA. You should be able to pull out the drive and check to see if it has the pin connectors of a PATA disk drive. It's easy to do. Some Youtube videos can show you how if you need help ('how to replace the hard drive in the hp pavillion dv1000').

It will work in both a notebook and desktop PC. I replaced the original HDD in a desktop HP dc7800, running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional; Intel Core Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 4 GB RAM. Performance has been dramatic since replacing the original drive. I'll never use another HDD as a main drive in any system I own from now on.

Probably. Note this HD is one third the capacity of the original. The 2.5 SATA form factor is standard, I believe. I would confirm with a web search comparing original HD specs with replacement HD specs. Should be easy to find out, though.

yes it works, however, you will see a red status light always on. HP does not support it but it is as good as HP drive except for the status light.

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.

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

Having just looked at one of the Internet review sites for this machine, I see it supports a SATA hard drive. Therefore, I expect this computer will support the HDD drive I purchased. Bear in mind, the drive I purchased was 250GB capacity, and the spec I saw on the GE60 is 750GB.

Not likely. Your machine uses IDE drives and this is a SATA drive, I suspect you need Seagate ST3320620A 320GB Barracuda 7200.10rpm 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Hard DriveBTW, your machine will allow you to add a second drive, so if your original drive is functional but out of space, a second drive may help (but if you are not comfortable working on these machines, you may need to hire someone to install a second drive)

As noted by earlier responses, HP provides a very good manual. Before making hardware changes, download a copy of this manual and refer to the correct upgrade section. As a long term IT person I strongly recommend you keep H/W manuals in a binder for every piece of equipment (including i/o cards, drives, etc.) you have. This will save you a lot of time, effort and grief when you need to support something in the future.

Correct terminology is essential. Now, instead of USB enclosure, give me the Nomenclature (Name, make, model number) of your computer. This gives me the specifications, thus, I can tell you if this Hard-drive fit. I am waiting!

I can't say for certain because I can;t find the exact specifications for that computer but my guess is yes it will work. I put this HDD in a friends computer but we were replacing the exact same drive.

If your HP Pavillion desktop computer, you can do what I did for my wifes HP Multimedia computer and gut the case of its motherboard, and replace it with a micro FM-1 motherboard and the AMD A8-3870 FM-1 APU. Gigabit or MSI micro motherboards will fit if it is a desktop, as long as it is a FM-1. You probably will need an additional fan to keep it cool. Install new motherboard drivers and you probably won't have to reinstall software. But HP branded software won't run anymore. Wife is very happy with the performance. A cheap way to upgrade.

If the aforementioned hard drive is a 2.5" laptop IDE hard drive, it should. You can find out by typing "HTS541616J9AT00" into a search engine and looking at the technical data.
