7200 RPM HD available for Inspiron 9300?

Bought an Inspiron 9300 @ the end of December 2005.  A year ago the 80 GB 5400 RPM HD starts giving errors failed constantly.  Tried to watch a disc that spins at 7200 RPM to replace, but the support.dell.com site is pretty vague.

Ive found a 100 GB disk at 5400 RPM which is a replacement for $135 - see the Scorpion 160GBfor $99, but do not know which will take place in this laptop.

so my dilemma: pay more for the 100 GB disk that has been "recommended" by the search engine, try the Scorpion and hope, it fits, or find a 7200 RPM drive on another place and try that.

any tips?

Thank you

  • Someone at - he run a Windows VM to 7 out of an external 7200 rpm or SSD for Dev purposes?

    Hi - I currently run Windows 7 with dev and geospatial software on an external drive (desktop LaCie D2 drive) through Fusion 3.1.  The current is large, so no laptop and perhaps slower that I need, but uses the Firewire 800.  My Macbook pro is 2008 and has an expresscard port.  It isn't a unibody if not real big for a upgrade to multiple internal disks and my current internal drive becomes even more complete.   I use the two OSs at the same time.  So I want to wait on the purchase of a newer MacBook Pro until the next version.  So far, I am considering a faster and more portable player (OWC brand).  So my question is this: would a 500 GB 7200 RPM / Sata Drive be better or a 128 GB SSD would work?  Both can be connected by eSata ExpressCard/34 card cables.  Does anyone do this?  If the SSD is the answer, how the VM and Windows 7 works with it - fragmentation and so on?

    Cost is important, but a usable, portable and flexible solution is also.

    Thanks a ton

    eSata is flaky on Mac, simply.  The new MBP have expresscard slots, so there is no solution eSata all on a new machine.

    FW800 runs about 2/3 SATA I speeds up and while it takes a little more time to start, actually run as virtual machine works very well (once it is loaded).

  • How will I know if a core I5 and 5400 RPM drive is ok for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 RPM dr

    Buy a new laptop.  My old Dell Inspiron is giving up the ghost.

    How will I know if a core I5, disk 5400 RPM is quite enough for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 RPM laptop drive?  Also can I get an I5 with 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM with an I7?  Need some recommendations.  I'm not an expert in computer so need a good explanation on what to do and why?  I don't have video games on the laptop.  It uses mainly for the mail, Excel, word, internet research, videos on the internet, etc.

    Hi, I recently got a T430 renovated and well, I just love and want to invest in an upgrade to 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM

    I read the specs here but other than:

  • New HDD in my Dell INSPIRON N5010 laptop, will I go to 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM HARD drive

    I bought the DELL N5010 laptop about 4 years back, and currently it is more under warranty.
    2 days back my hard drive crashed and could not start or install the OS as there are bad sectors on the hard drive has. I plan to buy a new hard drive.

    Which one should I go for a 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM. I would go to 7200 RPM, as it is faster, but I read on the internet that the 7200 RPM generates more heat then 5400 RPM and my laptop is already facing heating problem. I had replaced the fan about 2 months as my laptop used to close because of the heat. The problem of heating has not changed, but laptop does not stop :)

    Anyone using the DELL N5010 laptop with a 7200 RPM HARD drive and he's fine?

    Any kind of recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Sach

    Thanks for the recommendation. The sales in the shop man also recommended the same thing. I bought Seagate 5200 SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drives) which is still better than the conventional hard drive. :)

  • Upgrading to 7200 RPM / Inspiron 1720

    I just ordered a new 1720, and a 7200 RPM HARD drive is not available in the initial configuration. I was thinking about buying a separate GB 160 or 200 to 7200 RPM DELL, jump that it will come with everything you need to connect just like a main drive and keep the default slow reader, as a secondary. Am I wrong? I have heard stories of having to buy screws at astronomical prices, and so on. So, DELL player arrives with the caddy and all necessary connectors and screws, or it's just the player? Also, if it's just the drive, how much (approximately) would it cost to get the rest of the parts to install it?

    Thank you!

  • Fusion drive vs 7200 RPM HARD drive, it is worth the difference in price?

    I have the beginning 2009 24 "clocked at 2.66 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo w/4 GB memory.  I have 86 GB of capacity, 83 GB available on my hard drive but I get these days, turn the beach balls, delayed typing, and 5-6 min restarts (if it does not crash).

    (1): I started in recovery mode, run Disk Utility first aid on the three volumes that I configured and also to perform first aid on my external HD backup and time Machine external HD to ensure that those to external systems were functioning properly.  They are.

    (2) I ran Disk Warrior on all volumes and Cocktail on bootable disks.

    So... is probably time to let decision-making in early 2009 iMac.  Looking at the new, I wonder if the 27 "1 TB drive merger is worth the difference in price of the 1 TB 7200 RPM HARD drive?  I only do the usual things: mail, loading some photos (about 12 000 photos in iPhoto), web searches, etc.  No big, heavy use.

    It the additional sum of $200. Fusion drive worth it?

    For this purpose? N °

  • The upgrade of Inspiron 9300 Hard Drive not recognized

    I bought an upgrade of my Inspiron 9300 laptop hard drive:

    Old hard drive: TG754 Hard Drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, 7.2 K Hitachi, Moraga, unleaded

    New hard drive: 250 GB SATA 3 Gb s hard drive 16 MB 7200 RPM 2.5 IN. w o free fall Scorpio black

    TG754 Hard drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, Hitachi 7.2 K, Moraga, unleaded

    I don't know I installed it correct (just slide in and screw it) but my problem is that my laptop does not recognize the new drive.  When starting it complains that no hard drive is, and when I boot my Windows XP it also said that no hard drive is located.

    I followed the upgrade recommended Dell so I do not know why it does not work.  I read that the SATA drives require additional drivers, but I'm sure that my old drive was already a SATA drive, so I don't understand why he is not recognized.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    The 9300 has been performed in two versions - the vast majority were EIDE.  The last execution of production used SATA.  Yours is EIDE.

    Readers are physically the same size and made the same carrier - but does not connect the SATA version to the motherboard (check the back both discs and you'll see why).

    The EIDE version has a limit of 120G BIOS - it means not that you can not use this drive of 160 G, but the results can be unpredictable, sudden loss of all data.  Keep backups if you try a 160 - it is much safer to use a 120G.

    No, a 5400 all else equal will be slower than a 7200 - but you don't have a choice, because all manufacturers have stopped making 7200 RPM EIDE (PATA) computer laptop some time ago.

  • 160 GB 7200 RPM hitachi HD compatible with E1705?

    I currently have a 80 GB 5400 RPM HD in my E1705, I noticed, at work, that my laptop (Precision M90) has a Hitachi 160 GB drive at 7200 RPM. I was wondering if these same drive is compatible with my laptop, and if it is readily available for purchase of dell (or elsewhere for that matter).

    If it isn't can not compatible anyone point me in the right direction on a device comparble?

    I lost my restore on my current hard drive partition, and I'm waiting on Dell to send the restore disc via mail, so I thought I'd research in the meantime.

    Am I right in assuming that I can install the HD and use the restore disc and install them on the new drive? Or is there more to the story?

    Thanks for any advice in advance.
