Hi JanetBiggar


I'd be a little cautious of the hdd size/capacity/gigs. An older computer/bios doesn't always get along well with a newer mordern large capacity hdd. Sometimes the bios will id the drive name incorrectly, and/or id the dirve at a smaller capacity - example, it's a 1TB drive but the computer/bios only sees it as 512G.


In these situations the drive may or may not still be usable. It may work but you lose some of the capacity - in the example above you may only see 512G available after formating the 1TB hdd. In other examples, I've seen the drive/computer become a little unstable in certain situations.
