What if I'm trying to install this 7mm hdd into an older laptop thats 9.5mm? Will I need an adapter or&hellip;? Thank you!

It depends on your exact model, the 7mm drive should fit into the caddy that holds the 9.5mm drive. Depending on the orientation of the screws that go into the drive and the orientation of the caddy, you may or may not need some spacers.

These 2 1/2 inch drives fit any laptop... if you want to install in an older laptop you may need an adapter for the multipin connector.

As long as you have a laptop made within the last 5 years and it is a SATA drive tbere should be no issue. The mounting cage on the hard drive comes off the old one because all drives have standard mounting screw holes. Good Luck some laptops are a pain to get to the hard drive.

You could use a drive like this but what's the point - since the laptop already has a hybrid SSD/HDD set up. Additionally, I found this laptop to be slow and unresponsive until I installed an SSD drive (Samsung 840). I'd recommend just going with the largest SSD you can afford because it will really allow to use the rest of the laptop to its full potential. FInally, that particular drive is too thick at 9.5mm - there are mods to take some of these drives down to the required thickness of 7mm but again, what's the point - just get an SSD if anything.

Im not sure on the specs. But i think you have to have a 7mm(height) big SSD 2.5". I just looked up my HDD and it is 7MM so make sure its not 9mm. (most are 9mm, but you need slimmer for acer 7mm)

I haven't yet gotten a drive to work with it. However, it looks like it (1) requires a special adaptor that you'll need to buy directly from HP for about $57. And (2) the drive bay looks like it may only accept 7mm drives, so if you plan to put a 9.5mm drive in it, I don't think it will work.

Ignore the other answer. The drive will fit fine. Any drive that does not exceed 9.5mm will work. The drive is compatible, just make sure it is formatted correctly

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

It looks like that laptop has a hard drive in it which should be removable and replaceable. This SSD will fit both 7mm and 9.5mm (with adapter) so you should be good to go. I am still using this excellent SSD in my main office PC and I am very happy with it.

No. This is for a laptop. You need a 3.5 in h hard drive. The connections are different.

I replaced my Win 7 Lenovo's laptop hard drive with this one and it works fine. However, since the connector on this drive is not an USB type connector I wonder how you managed to get it to work as a USB. In any case, if you already have a primary hard drive with Windows on C, you need I would suspect you need to configure this "additional hard drive as a "slave" drive. Then you can only partition it as a logical drive, i.e. additional partition.

Hi Adrian, my 9mm hard disk (standard size 2.5 inch hard disk) seems to be the max this enclosure can take (it is a bit of a squeeze inside the enclosure). Anything fatter would be a problem I reckon. For any fatter hard disk I would go for the Vantec enclosure which specifically states support for 12.5mm thickness.

This is a thin (7mm) SSD that will work anywhere a normal 2.5" spinning HDD will work - and that describes almost any laptop. If you're replacing a 9mm drive you might need a small soft shim cut to the shape of the drive, to make sure the physical fit is snug enough so it won't rattle around. The SSD can be formatted as needed, and can be used with any popular OS. Plug it in, format (if needed) and go. I put mine in an Acer Chromebook and restored back the ChromeOS - without formatting - in a few minutes time, with excellent results. Nice speed pickup. Very pleased!

The SATA connector for 1.8" drive is non-standard. One will need to get an adapter to convert to standard 2.5". The best-cost effective method would be using a mSATA to SATA adapter with a standard 2.5" housing.

No, this Hdd will not fit into a laptop computer. I used this Hdd for a desktop build, for a friend.

Hi. This package includes 7mm to 9.5mm adapter for internal installation? Like Kingston Digital 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Adapter (SV300S3N7A/480G) ???

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.
