Choose the right hard drive for your laptop
- Drive bay and interface: Confirm your laptop has a serviceable 2.5-inch SATA drive bay. These drives do not fit M.2-only storage slots.
- Physical fit: Check the exact drive's thickness against your laptop's clearance, and confirm any required mounting caddy, connector or adapter.
- Storage capacity: Allow space for your operating system, applications, documents and media, and check your device's supported capacity.
- Performance specifications: Compare spindle speed, cache and the exact model's performance characteristics with your workload.
- Recording technology: Review CMR or SMR specifications for the selected model, particularly if your work involves frequent sustained writes.
- Replacement preparation: Back up important files before changing drives and plan how you will clone your existing drive or reinstall your operating system.
Not every notebook supports a replaceable 2.5-inch hard drive. Review the individual product specifications and your laptop's service documentation before purchasing.
