Can I easily replace an old Toshiba MK1234GSX 120GB HDD by this SSD without having any compatibility problem (size and interfaces)? Regards!

It should work....depends somewhat on what your motherboard setup is like. The SSD is 2.5" so if it going in a laptop should most likely slip right in. If its going in a desktop, will probably need an adapter to get it properly attached. Depending on the speed of your SATA on the motherboard you might not get the full speed benefit from this drive......but no doubt it will be a lot faster than a mechanical drive. Need to be sure your board is SATA so power and data fittings are same compatible between the board and drive

You should be able to replace it without compatability issues but it will not perform at maximum specifications if the interface is not sata III

I am not an expert. I believe any Sata 2.5" hard drive should work. I have purchased several WD HDDs and Toshiba HDDs (2 of each) and they are all working perfectly. I use them for external hard drive storage and daily use. You might try to replace wit a Toshiba (but you surely can use either) as Toshiba is what Mac seems to use. The most important thing though is that its Sata 2.5"

The size you have is that of a standard 2.5" disk. This is intended to go into an msata slot, where the drive in your toshiba is likely a standard 2.5" disk. The only way to know for sure is to open the hard disk compartment.Many times when you replace a laptop hard drive, there is a cage or attachment to stabilize it. This part is manufacturer specific and would have to be transferred to your new drive. This is typically 1-4 screws.It is likely you would be looking at any regular SATA ssd.

Hello Pedro, you can install any current SSD size, I would recommend 128 or 256 GB better, thanks.

To be honest with you, IDE to SATA 3 - why? That IDE interface is sooooooo slow it would bottle neck the speed poential of this SSD drastically. I question SATA1 being used with SSD. Time to upgrade the PC.

Shouldn't be an issue. Sata III is backwards compatible. If you're able to fit your data, this SSD will make your older notebook fly. A most-impressive upgrade!

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

I installed the Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Notebook Kit Version in my HP Envy m6. I replaced a 750 GB drive with the 500 GB SSD. I made sure that the used space on the original drive was less than the max allowed on the SSD. The Samsung drive copy software worked flawlessly and I'm very happy with the performance after installing the SSD. I took the original 750 GB drive and installed it in a drive enclosure so I can use it for backup and extra storage if I need it.

Pretty much out of the question. You could put a larger SSD in place of the original. The USB 3 port gives excellent performance with a compatible external drive.

you can't use a mSata SSD because there is no slot available. You can replace the stock Seagate SSHD 1TB + 8GB (HDD and SSD on the same 2.5" drive) by another 2.5" drive or you can add a caddy for a second 2.5" drive but it will replace the graphics card in the ultrabay.sorry for my english i'm from France i hope there are no mistakes !

No, this is SATA; IDE is defunct. You can use that old drive as a paper weight. Also get a Solid State Drive and enjoy about 10x improvement in hard drive speed. SSDs are worth every penny.

If that is the same size as the original HDD (its likely a 500GB) and you are using the Toshiba restore disk that came with it.If you are installing a new window O/S not from the Toshiba restore disk then you should be ok with the 640GB HDD.

The best way I can answer your question is to provide this link to Kingston. I did not have any problems with install or moving the data to the new drive.Here is the link:http://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/v?ktc_campaign=US_SSD&gclid;=CjgKEAjwkpacBRCNlprWw-u-nBwSJACwHiw-5vJeySawQH5VVAJ-KktgFa8qBmE-9nNEPP1oqsYekvD_BwEJust copy it and paste it in your address bar.

There seem to be different versions of the same basic model. Mine came with a 250 gb spinning platter drive. I put a 128 gb ssd in for about 80 bucks. The kit by monster made that super simple and you can reuse the software and cable for other computers. RAM seems to vary as well. I have three of these 1 from work and 2 bought used.

I don't think I use it any more. It has been awhile, but I recall having problems with it...but I can't be sure. Truth is you will see no real ("butt dyno in car-nut speak&lt;G&gt;) difference between the different specs in real world experience, so it is not worth pursuing IMHO. If on a system drive, go with an SSd -- even w/Sata2 the difference will wow you. 120GB is plenty big enough unless you had hundreds of application, then 240. $150 or less. Keep data off the boot drive.
