    Solution:

    It will not fit on Lenovo Ideapad N580.

    The Ideapad N580 will fit HDD of form factor 2.5" (2.5 Inch) but the form factor of Toshiba mk8009GAH is 1.8" hence won't fit in the slot.

    The interface type specifies which type of connector used to connect the motherboard and the HDD and it should be the same in order to use on it.

    Ideapad uses the SATA interface type to connect the HDD but the Toshiba mk8009GAH is having an ATA type interface on it hence they cannot be connected with each other.
