Installation:::...

Step one was of course to find a suitable recipient, and what better than to use my very own machine? Being a Toshiba too this may just be enough to get them to email me and suggest I leave the drive in there instead of sending it back. It's obviously where it was born to reside!

 

The Test Machine

 

Anyway, after a few long breaths of the gas and air, I flipped the patient over onto her back and opened her up. Undignified I know, but necessary.

Disk Bay

 

Here you can see the original organ on the left, the transplant in the middle and the caddy over on the right.

The original unit is a 30GB Hitachi Travelstar 80GN which, apart from the capacity, is a very nice and very similarly specified unit that should make for a great performance comparison.

The Test Machine

If you intend opening up your own notebook for any reason I strongly suggest you look into the warranty conditions first and check whether or not you risk voiding the warranty by doing the job yourself.
