I don't remember if it came with that but the installation is really easy and you also can Google it

It's super simple, just unscrew the bottom cover for the hard drive space on the laptop (it should be the only panel on the bottom) and the hard drive fits only one way, the brass connectors should touch. No instructions are included, but now you have them. Good luck!

Yes, but it does state "General hard drive installations for most laptop. I purchase the hard drive but someone else put it in for me. Looking at the instructions it look like it is easy to do.

The one I bought came with a Sata Cable and software/instructions but I have only installed t and not put the drivers in yet!

I'm honestly not sure. My son ordered it and we ended up returning it because it turns out it wasn't what we needed. I don't think I even touched the hard drive. Sorry.

Sorry, no. It's rare nowadays for any supplier to provide installation media. They almost always do, however, create a small protected partition on the hard-drive which the operating system can use to restore the computer to it's "as-delivered" condition in the event of a "hard fault" failure to start. The best thing you can do yourself is create an image of your system on an external storage drive as it is when you are satisfied with it. That way you can restore it to the original drive, or to a newer/faster/bigger or solid state drive when you want better performance or more storage space.

Idk about a straight hard drive install. Not sure how you would access the files. I do, however, regularly connect my computer/iPad to the tv thru an HDMI cable. I can watch files on the unit or stream from the internet.

Western digital customer service can give you a better answer. Call them: 1 (800) 275-4932. I have had my hard drive running for some time now. It arrived quick, installed easy and runs like the machine was new, only with more drive space. Highly recommend buying it from Amazon. It was much cheaper than what the local computer guy tried to sell it to me for.. Good luck

Hi I'm not sure because we have the slim. I only required the hard drive. No additional pieces.

Hi Olddetailer, for re- installation of Windows 8, you can use the Vaio care software pre-installed in the computer. It will access the recovery partition of the hard drive to re-install the said OS. -Ely

The one I ordered came with a 1tb hard drive. It is installed inside the main unit. There is another model that doesn't come with a hard drive, but there is a list of drives that can be installed inside it.

I believe your system already has the mounting bracket. Go to Support.us.playstation.com just type in your model it will show you step by step for installing a hard drive. Hope this helps.

I couldn't find this on the packaging, the drive itself, or online at wdc.com. I had already thrown away the quick start guide - not sure if it was in there. It's a great drive though - small!

With this kit I was able to install a 2nd hardrive in the lower drive bay kit. it's worth the price, on the ifixit site it was 70.00. Both drives are up and running and you should be able to do the install with instructions from ifixit. Good luck if you need more assistance contact me here on amazon

Yes, it is very easy. You can go on youtube to see a video on how to install a internal hard drive.

You must have a SATA hard drive installed in the unit in order to function. Installation of the drive is quite easy. The instructions/operations manual supplied is very poor. It will take a lot of rereading. Many abbreviations and terms are unknown to the average person. SANNCE does not respond to technical questions or issues of failure.

It does not ship with any hard drive. There is documentation about drives that are supported on the net gear website. I put a 500GB western digital first time and it worked perfectly.
