Slim Harddrive Fitment

Does anyone know if a 7mm thick slim drive (2.5") will fit in a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5132 laptop? I'm getting chkdsk errors of late, and I have been looking at a 7200rpm drive for a replacement.

Here's the log file assuming the drive is going bad...

Yes, I would agree with Pete's suggestion completely. 240/250 GB SSD's cost about $135 to $160.00NZD currently and they are up to 10 times faster than HDD's. Way to go.

 

Had to tighten some loose hinge screws today, and while I was disassembling things, I noticed the harddrive was mounted with side screws in a removable housing. Maybe I won't need an adapter after all unless I opt for the SSD. Kind of pricey though for 500GB.

 

I bought a 500GB SSD (Samsung SSD 850 EVO) for $230.00NZD just over a month ago. They are coming down in price and being offered in Stock clearances.

 

So it's safe to assume my drive is dying?

 

I think the RED lines tell the story.

 

The drive failed Sea Tools long test as well, so that means I need to find a good black Friday deal.
