I have a Qsmio x505-q888 laptop that has a 9.5mm height hdd. Will the contacts on the 7mm line up with the contacts inside the laptop correctly? Or, do I need a adapter?

i looked at your laptop detailed specs. and i bought this drive for an hp laptop similar to yours, and here is the tech specs of my laptop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01896913 comparing it with yours, i think they are the same. i replaced this sdd drive with my sata drive and it fit perfectly. usually, if your drive is sata, then this one will work fine with you. as for the 9.5 mm and 7mm, i think there is a special case that you put the hard drive in it and then use screws to plug this case to the laptop itself - my hp is like this - then the difference will not matter with you. also, i have searched on youtube and found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPeDhyrqG98 it shows you how to install ssd drive in your laptop. i hope this info is sufficient for you. and i can tell you, my laptop is not gaming one and was becoming very slow and thinking about buying a new laptop. when i install this drive in it, i notices difference in the performance of windows 7 and 8. the laptop became very fast, and i was really happy about it. try to buy the largest size in GB that suits your budget because 250 GB is very little for me.

No it does not. There is a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter included. This is a thickness not an area adapter. If you want a 2.5 inch to a 3.5 inch adapter you can search for one on the web or buy one from Amazon 2.5-inch SSD / HDD to 3.5-inch Bracket Mount Adapter

1st make sure those are 2.5" slots, SSD size slots, and not 3.5". If they are 3.5" you'll need the SSD adapter to make it bigger and fit the slot. You will need to buy a cable, if you do not already have one. You'll need it for a SATA connection. The drives I got were barebones and just contained the drives and a few documents and nothing else.

I don't know, but here are the more specific questions you should be asking:1. Will it fit correctly? There are two different sizes of 2.5" HDDs (normal & slim)2. Does the laptop support SATA II?3. Do you have the restore disks to reinstall everything? (Not specific to this HDD)

I used this on my Sony T Series notebook to replaced the existing non SSD hard drive. If your equipment is originally equip with the 1.8 hard drive then this should work. but if it comes with the standard 2.5 SATA then you will need an adapter. Thanks

Ignore the other answer. The drive will fit fine. Any drive that does not exceed 9.5mm will work. The drive is compatible, just make sure it is formatted correctly

Only if you're Doctor Who (it's bigger on the inside!). You put the mSATA card directly in here, no adapter required. That adapter would require a 2.5 inch SATA enclosure.

I don't know about your particular laptop, but be aware there are two types of thin drives. There is the 12.7mm drive and the 9.5mm drive like this one. If yours uses the 9.5mm drive this should fit, although you may have to transfer some mounting hardware from the old drive to the new one. You will likely need to swap the front bezel from your old drive to the new one so that it looks "right". Also, be aware that even though this drive can physically play and record Blu-Ray disks, it requires additional software to utilize it. I use Cyberlink Media Suite, but there are other options available. If I'm telling you things your already know, I apologize, but many people aren't aware, and I don't know your level of understanding. I installed mine in a Sony VAIO laptop and it works very well.

I use this in a drive rack designed for 3.5" drives. Once you've put the 2.5" SDD into the adapter it has the exact same dimensions, connector locations and mounting points (screw holes) as a 3.5" HDD.

It should be. This is a 9.5mm drive and the the lenovo x220 is compatible with both 7mm and 9.5mm drives. I'd look up the maintenance manuals on their website though just to be sure.

Check this out. http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B0096BEJDI/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y I got this by mistake when I wanted the other. This is a board that sticks straight from the back of the hard drive, so space may be a problem.

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

If you can remove the hard drive and it has the pin configuration that fits the adaptor it should work.

Works with any laptop that uses a 2.5 sata hd. Most laptop have an adapter that connects to the drive to connect to the motherboard. If you are replacing a drive u can use the adapter from the old drive.

Yes this is the adaptor that is needed to make the SATA drive fit the connectors

Sorry, I don't know. Bought it then went another route and didn't have to use it. Are you aware of the small print on the reverse side of the adaptor? On left side it says "IDE HOST=>SATA HD" and on the right "SATA HOST=>IDE HD" I think the drive cable position is more important than the power because there is only one cable, as you say.Good Luck
