My Toshiba laptop and apparently most other Toshiba laptops need CSEL=HIGH (IDE Slave) set by firmware SH03. This IDE conflict was because this drive is CSEL=LOW(IDE Master) due to firmware SS03. Beware: I got the "IDE #1 ERROR" at bootup, and XP didn't detect the drive. The old mounting bracket and plug adapter fit perfectly. However, the faceplate the SN-S082D came with looks "okay" and works fine. faceplate on the SD-R6012 is not interchangeable with this slimdrive because the securing tabs are all in different spots. Overall Review: I bought it to replace the internal SD-R6012 slimdrive that came with my Toshiba 2455-S305 laptop that had almost completely stopped working. Some have mentioned that it's noisy - I'm just glad it's noiser than the SD-R6012 it replaced which basically sat there and did nothing!Ĭons: If what I wrote in other thoughts makes your eyes roll back in your head, I wouldn't recommend this drive for Toshiba laptops! Pros: GREAT PRICE on a slimdrive with all the latest features including the ability to read and burn the +R and -R dual layer media.
