Size wise - Good fit. Same 1.5 TB HD size as you have according to Specs you've provided. Do anything? Once installed, go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management and format disk. Voila! Your done! Ready for backups again!

BTW: Double check your Bios to make sure SMART is turned on for this HD. Where? I'd have to see it to tell you exactly where to look. Should be in your Manual about your Bios Configuration. Hope this helps!

Question 3

What is the firmware?

Accepted Answer

Recent models ship with the latest firmware, which is CC1H. But it's always best to double-check and make sure ANY disk's firmware is current before putting it into production.
