update hardrive laptop

This is an excellent upgrade to OEM unit, even at 5400rpm, like others like it at 7200rpm but understand heat dissipation and large 1TB capacity offset. Speeds up startup over time and accessing multiple programs. There was mention of cloning problems so ensure that software works with OS version on present drive. Do not reformat the new Hybrid drive before cloning, nor run defrag. Drive works well and larger capacity will save money long term. Bought a second unit and installed it in desktop and works great for multiple monitor setup. Get unit while on sale. Note: if during clone setup or as a backup and experience a problem return to store for replacement under warranty. Troubleshooting often removes the base format condition from the factory, thus drive never the same over time.

HARDDRIVE STORAGE

case is highly flexible when it comes to placing in and then retrieving the hard drive. Even will take the bracket for the drive as well. SATA cable will fit, of to the side, with some effort or placed on top of drive. Wished the manufacturer put a card slot on outside to mark content of drive, but you can achieve same by using a label maker device for this effort.

Great value in having increased storage capacity on new hard drive. Minor drawback only 4500rpm(7200rpm desired) but it works fine. Also, can be used in desktop if desired. Runs cools and easy access to OS.

capacity with quality

Verified Purchase:Yes
Trusted brand name, plus good quality construction and capacity made for an ideal product to suit my needs. Granted the usb 3.0 series be faster but price has not come down nor is every unit have a usb 3.0 port(legacy) capacity to warrant purchase. Price was right for sure. Also, purchases the protection case for longevity and safety considerations. ps: now that the cloud is an acceptable storage but what happens if there is no internet available and item needed right now.

How do I recover everything on my old HD?
I want to replace my 500g drive with this 1 TB drive. How do I get everything from my old drive onto the new one so when I start the new drive everything is there?
you could do a 'clone' aspect or using original discs do a clean install, which is way better. Save your data and other items to external thumb drives as desired. Make sure you have the Utility discs/drivers discs that came with your unit Highly recommend you do a Belarc Advisor.org printout which will reflect all about your unit--is a great aid.

YES. will provide you with increased storage capacity. Just ensure you have a backup, if transfer messes up. Or you could clone current drive to new Toshiba. You also have the option of doing a clean install of OS with the original discs when purchased or can be acquired from manufacturer.

What?!?
according to specs it's USB 1.1? is this for real?
yes, what that is referring to is ''back compatible' specification. many older systems, when the usb item is inserted will: have a screen popup reflecting that the usb will operate better in a usb 2.0 unit.

how do I copy the pictures in my computer to the PNY flash drive?
Do I have to download each file one at a time, or can I download the whole Pictures section (or Documents) at one time?
insert flash drive into computer, then there will be a screen appear on desktop reflecting "open to view files". Now locate the items you wish to copy to flash drive. Drop and drag those items to the drive. Yes, you can do a full transfer by right clicking on the main title-scroll to 'copy' or 'send to' and entire contents will transfer.
