What's great about it: The value and price
What's not so great: It's not SATA III, It's SATA II (says on box).
Not sure why the Best Buy online store has it listed as a SATA III when it's a SATA II. SATA III is the current newest type but SATA II are still sold commonly.
The price is around the right range for the actual product though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Will this replace Hard Drive for a Toshiba Model A205

Yes, this hard drive will work with your computer specifications. It is mislabeled as a SATA III but is really a SATA II. SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I. Your computer uses SATA I but since this is SATA II, you are still good.

Will this replace my hard drive on a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6837?

Yes, this hard drive will work with your computer specs. It is mislabeled as a SATA III but is actually a SATA II. Your computer was originally built for SATA I but SATA II is backwards compatible for SATA I so it still works.

Will this work for my satellite P105-S6197?

Yes, SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I (1.5 Gb/s data transfer speed). Your computer uses SATA I's and can use SATA II's. This Toshiba hard drive is a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s data transfer speed) and is mislabeled on their website as a SATA III.

Will this be compatible with a satellite A665-s5170 laptop? Thank you!

If this is not compatible, could you suggest an internal hard drive that is?
Yes, it would be compatible with that laptop. It uses SATA II hard drives and this is a SATA II, not SATA III drive (it's mislabeled on the website as SATA III).

SATA II (3.0Gb/s transfer speed) is also backwards compatible for SATA I (1.5Gb/s data transfer speed).

SATA III's (6.0Gb/s) are backwards compatible with SATA II's.

Will this replace the hard drive in a Toshiba L455-S5009

It's a SATA II hard drive, not SATA III. SATA II's hard drives are backwards compatible with SATA I's so it should work for your Toshiba L455.

A good wiki search about SATA stuff can help understand the situation. Youtube videos can help with locating, identifying, and replacing the drive too.

Few, old computers (I'd say around 2000 or before) still use the IDE hard drive type but it's certainly rare these days.
