Review: I was a bit disappointed as it was only 4 years old - I was getting messages on my Packard Bell laptop, that the hard drive was failing and should be replaced. I was a bit disappointed as it was only 4 years old, and lightly used. Having established that it was a 1TB Toshiba SATA hard drive, I resolved to replace with the same make. A quick search of desertcart found this drive, which I ordered and had delivered next day. It came well packaged, and in an anti-static bag. I had already backed up my files, and created a system image using Windows 10 (It's actually a Windows 7 app). Installing the hard drive turned out to be as easy as removing a few screws, and lifting out the old one, then slotting in the new one. It took less than 10 minutes. It fired up immediately, using the recovery disk I was prompted to create when I upgraded to Windows 10 a few months ago.I then connected the external hard drive with the system image, and let it do it's stuff. In no time, my PC was working again as if nothing had happened. Overall I am delighted with the purchase, and it's performance is as it should be. A good product at a great price.
Review: Fits a Freesat recorder. - Bought this hard drive as a replacement for the one which failed in my Freesat recorder. Identical to the original, and an easy straight swap. Just a small torx bit for the case screws and a flat blade to lever the cover apart, then a multipin plug to swap over. Have tried the new one and works perfectly. Beats buying a new Freesat box for £200.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: hi will this work for Acer aspire**
A: The probable answer is yes, but it will depend on which model of Acer Aspire it is. Look on the bottom of your laptop and make a note of the Model number & then do a Google Search "will the toshiba mqo1abdo5o 500 gb drive fit my acer aspire ....."the dots are for the model number.

**Q: Can I use for Tosiba Satellite pro c660- 1d7 ??
and what do i do - just plug it in and it will work?**
A: It will work in the Toshiba (didn't it come with a 640GB drive anyhow?).  However, if you replace your existing hard disk you'll need to reinstall all the software, including Windows.  Make sure you've got the licence number and install disks for everything.It may be worth purchasing a 2.5" USB SATA drive caddy (around £5 on fleabay) to put your old disk in if it's still working.  That way you can transfer files across to the new one, and have a cheap backup drive as well.

**Q: Can I put this hdd into a 2013 macbook pro? Tried another brand some time ago and after the wifi reboot/restore it did not recognize the hdd**
A: The short answer is yes, however after I installed this HD into my daughters late 2012 13" Macbook Pro my son then re-formatted the HD so it had the Mac format before downloading and installing the necessary updates to get the required version of the Mac OSX up and running. My daughters laptop is working and from what she has said it's better than when it was new as it has a 1Tb HD and 16GB of RAM now. My son said it wasn't hard to format the HD and install the OS but he spent 3 years at college and he is now studying computer programming. So if you don't know or unsure about how to reformat the HD and upload the OSX I believe there are some guides on Youtube which will help.

**Q: I have a bush 320dtr can i fit the 500gb or must i use the 320gb ?**
A: As long as the dimensions/size are the same as your previous hard drive then you shouldn't have an issue installing and running a 500GB hard drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacement hard drive for ps4 Pro
*by M***2 on 2 August 2024*

Bought this to replace my dead ps4 Pro harddrive. Blue light of death, safemode restart did nothing so Followed youtube tutorial how to replace hardive which was the last option. Easy to install. My Ps4 is now alive and working perfectly fine.my only regret was not buying a more powerful hard drive like a more expensive sold state drive. Reason being I wasn't sure if it was my original hardive was the issue so bought the cheaper hardrive as a test..anyway. this hardrvie works fine as a replacement ps4 hardive. Good quality for the price.
