HP G72-b60US Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, HP Community,

 

First, I hope all are doing well and keeping safe during the CORONVIRUS pandemic.

Second, I have got a couple of questions which I hope I may be able t get the appropriate help.

                 1: I need the Hard Drive Hardware Kit for the HP G72-b60US Notebook PC, where may I purchase?

                 2: Can I install a 1TB SSD in this machine without any major issues?

Any information would be most helpful; [Personal Information Removed]

 

Kind regards,

Walter H

This series shipped with  up to a 750 Gb drive so you should have no problem with a 1 or 2 Tb drive. Crucial Technology states that there 2 Tb is compatible. https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/hp-g72-b60us

 

Are you replacing your existing drive or are you hoping to install an additional drive where the CD rom is?  Best place to find a caddy to replace the CD is on Ebay.

If you are replacing your existing drive you will need no kit, simply remove the old drive from it's carrier and install the new drive in that carrier.
