My hard drive on my Acer laptop has given up the ghost and I wanted to replace it with a new one. How do I know if this hard drive has the right diameter? Or if it will work on my laptop?

My hard drive on my Acer laptop has given up the ghost and I wanted to replace it with a new one. How do I know if this hard drive has the right diameter? Or if it will work on my laptop?

Answer

All 2.5" disks no larger than 2 TB fit into any notebook that has a corresponding slot (the crux is that larger 2.5" HDDs/SSDs achieve the increased storage space with additional storage disks, which in turn results in a larger diameter, and many notebooks are not equipped for this)

Answer

At first glance, I would say that it fits. Laptops always have 2.5" disks in them. If it is the disk with the operating system, I would also consider an SSD because of the speed boost. There shouldn't be any compatibility problems. I've used a few of them myself and never had any problems.
