Hello there,

I am searching for a Toshiba HDD (Internal Harddisk) DT01ABA100 1TB 7200RM SATA 6.0Gb/s with HP P/N: 661699-003 item Number to Purchase.. An equivalent HDD would also be welcome as well.

Do kindly get in touch whenever Possible.

Hi:

Wouldn't you rather install a much better performing 2.5" solid state drive?

Then you install it inside a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter and mount it where the 3.5" drive goes.

Otherwise, any 3.5" 1 TB 7,200 RPM SATA mechanical hard drive should work fine, but they seem to cost as much as a solid-state drive costs nowadays.

Hi there Paul, Thank you so much for that quick response.

so the Harddisk's  you've mentioned are  Alternatives to the Toshiba DT01ACA100 SATA 6.0 Gb/o and will surely fit in the same Slot as well, is that correct?

You're very welcome.

Yes, that is correct. 

For the solid-state drive, you have to buy that adapter because it is only 2.5," not 3.5" like the one you have now.

The only drives I could find that you were looking for are sold used and come from the UK.

I can't find a service guide for your PC so hopefully you can figure out how to replace the drive, but maybe this video will help.

Paul, excellent advise and  many Thanks for your help.. Have already dismantled the Toshiba Hdd and might go for the Alternative...

Cheers

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

A solid-state drive will make your PC perform even better than it did when new.

On any desktop PC I own, I removed the mechanical hard drives and installed solid state drives and am very glad I did.
