Question 1

I have a mid to late 2009 Macbook pro 15". Will this hard drive work for this laptop?

Accepted Answer

this should work according to the specs ror this model.

Question 2

does the hard drive come with an OS built in?

Accepted Answer

It does not.   The operating system is a fundamental software component that controls everything on your computer, including the microcode and native routines for interfacing with all peripheral components.

Question 3

Hello, I was wondering if this would be compatible with a dell Inspiron 15 3521 laptop?

Accepted Answer

This will work with any modern laptop that takes a SATA drive.  According to a quick google search the Inspiron 15 3521 takes a sata drive so it should work fine.

Question 4

Will this hard drive work on a Lenovo E440 laptop running Windows 7 64 bit?  If so, I'm buying it!  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

If you have a SATA connection it will work fine. If you have an IDE connection it won't work, because you won't be able to connect it to your computer

Question 5

Will this drive work with the Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7052?

Accepted Answer

From looking over the specs on your laptop it says it will support this Hard Drive. I am unable to put a link here which would show you that it does so you will just have to take my word for it. I did look up your model on Toshiba's website which it does support this kind of Hard Drive.

Question 6

what is the cache memory?

Accepted Answer

Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.

Question 7

We had a Hitachi 500GB SATA 3.0Gb/s 5400RPM hard drive.   What is the 3.0G/s vs 6.0G/s?  Will this hard drive work as a replacement?

Accepted Answer

3.0 Gb/s is 3.0 Gigabytes per second...the maximum data speed of the drive.  It should work just fine...as long as you had a SATA drive (as opposed to an IDE on older computers).  If you're computer isn't more than 5 years old, you probably have a SATA drive.  If it's older than 10 years, you probably have an IDE drive.

Question 8

Does It Work On A PS3 Super Slim?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't know to be honest. I used it on a sony vaio laptop. But if you have the ps3 opened up and if it fits on the slot then it should work for the ps3. It would just be a matter of putting the software in it. And 500gb is plenty of space for ps3 software and games. Sorry I wasn't of much help but hope this can help a bit.

Question 9

will this HDD fit into a HP ProLiant ML 350 G5 server tower?
