Aspire 5755G - 9417 larger capacity hard drive

Aspire 5755G - 9417 current (original) HD is 1 TB. I'm looking to replace it with a larger. Can I use one to 1.5 or 2 TB of HARD drive in this unit or is there a restriction on the ability? Also, the initial height of the disc is 12.5 mm. It seems that I can use a 9.5 mm in replacement player and the caddy it will stop moving. Is this correct? The caddy will hold firmly in the correct position or will I have to use something to fill the vacuum and maintain the stability of the HD? THX.

Other information in the case, it is useful:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
first 10 characters of SN: LXRQ002092

For a system bios inherited like yours, you should be OK with up to a 2 TB MBR partitioned drive. You can exceed the 2 TB with a GUID partitioned drive but cannot boot from it.

  • large external hard drive for editing fcpx

    Hi, a question of two parts:

    1. I was wondering how people manage their media: is it recommended to store the middle on an external hard drive and the reference to it? Or are the libraries & projects also stored on an external drive?

    2. I have about 4 TB of video and want to buy a large external hard drive that is fast enough for 4 k video editing (with proxy or optimized media, single stream, nothing too fancy etc.). I just bought the new iMac 5 k which has connections thunderbolt.

    I read a lot about love at first sight vs. speed USB3, disk hard drive gears, RAIDs etc but am not the wisest. I don't want to it is an exaggeration either.

    It would be good enough: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BBZ4Q0C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8 & psc = 1 & smid = A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

    Or is it better to use for backup and should I go for the version of TB: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FIYJ7LG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8 & psc = 1 & smid = A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

    Or a USB3 would be pretty quick with a double disc is RAID0? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Desktop-External-Drive-WDBLWE0080JCH-EESN/dp/B00L9 0DX04/ref = pd_sim_147_4? ie = UTF8 & PSC = 1 & refRID = YFMN75KFN652T20XB40B

    Price differences are pretty extreme and I know too how much of a real difference it would make to my editing.

    I have trouble with my 2010 macbook pro and a portable external hard drive 5400 RPM so would avoid this situation.

    Thanks in advance!

    1 - Yes, always put libraries and media on a second fast drive.  Video/audio "data streaming" can bog down the stream of data required by the operating system and the app themselves.  There is limited bandwidth between the CPU and hard drives, as your Internet connection.

    RIAD 0 is quite obsolete, stay away from him.  USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt are good enough for 4K editing.  RAID is faster than the single SSD (same).  Spins disks should always be 7200 RPM, even the system drive.  5400 is far too slow.  If you go with RAID, get a 4th unit of Bay, with 7200 RPM drives in a RAID 5 configuration.  MacSales.com has excellent products.  As promises (their RAIDS of you bolt P2 are the fastest on the market) and other well known brands.  I was never a fan of the product line of My Book.

  • Acer Aspire V15 Nitro replace SSD HARD drive

    I bought this laptop in March 2015. This laptop comes with 1 TB of HDD.

    I wanted to replace the HDD SSD but I called the service center (Service of Highpoint), Acer technician told me that there is no way to replace with SSD because the port is different, any SSD can also compatible with this laptop HARD drive port.

    This make me very confuse because I search in google, replace with SSD is quite possible.

    So I'm here to ask for advice. Hope can get a response. Thank you.

    Published:

    My laptop model: Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (VN7 - 591 G)

    -Core i7 4710Q

    -12 GB OF DDR3 RAM

    -HARD DRIVE 1 TB

    -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

    you have 2 options on your laptop:

    (1) switch for one SSD 1 TB HARD drive

    (2) add an SSD on form factory M2 on its location (top-left, near the fan), so you can have installed SSD and HDD

    the second option, other users have done so, and sometimes they have had some problems during the recording of the SSD as first boot device (or window Boot Manager), since the BIOS tries to boot from SATA port.

    You can force it by pressing F12 at startup and select the appropriate boot device.

    It is up to you.

  • Aspire 7250-0209-case for hard drive

    Last spring, my Aspire 7250-0209, which I would do it only had a year and a half or two, ended up with a bottle of water that leak as I was toting it to a horse show where I was going to use for some scoring. After it dried, I could get it to power upward, go light on the DVD player, I could hear the hard disc spins, but nothing happened with the screen. I tried to plug it into an external monitor and nothing happens, so I presume that the video card is fried.

    Therefore, it is time to open things and reap the hard drive. I have done before with the help of a few friends knowledgeable and was able to put the hard drive in an inexpensive case that I bought online and it works more or less like an external hard drive. What I was asking is what are the physical dimensions of the hard drive for this machine and what kind of cable should I? I would buy the case ahead until I open things and started fussing with it. My other alternative is to take to a local computer shop where a friend just to have done similar work, but this guy charged $80 to do, and it's money that I prefer to use for something else.

    Thanks for any advice you may have.

    Thank you! Exactly what I needed to know. The last time I did, the first case that I bought was wrong and I would rather not replay error. I appreciate your help.

  • Aspire V3 - 574G - internal Second hard drive

    I discovered that my lappy, after tearing down, it has only a hard disk location. I counted on my STRANGE with a disk replacing hard as I don't really use it.

    I looked on eBay and found the correctly sized hard drive caddy and a large SSD. I'm planning to move my slow Western Digital 5400 RPM drive hard to the caddy and install the card Sandisk Ultra II 480 GB about the location of the main hard drive.

    My question is: it'll work? I've seen reports that this configuration * rarely * does not, but many reports, videos and tutorials that it will work with any laptop. It makes sense since the ODD uses the SATA standard after all. I would like just to confirm.

    If your optical drive location has a working sata connection, there is no reason why it wouldn't work.

  • How can I configure my H8-1240 to use a large secondary hard drive

    I installed a Western Digital 3TO (WD30EZRX) hard drive as a secondary drive.  My bios recognizes the drive as being 3 TB.  I used the Windows 7 computer management tool to manage and format the drive, but it won't allow me to use 2 TB of the car and leaves 746,52 GB unallocated.  How to access unallocated space?

    The drive is functional, but I want to access all of the available space.  I tried to "Extend Volume", but this option is grayed out in the menu.  I searched the forum, HP, Google, Gigabyte and Western Digital to the site but have not found the answer.

    Computer: H8-1240

    Motherboard: M3970BM (printed on the card), seems to be made by Gigabyte

    BIOS: An2_705.rom v7.05

    On my system (see above), I found my answer.

    I had to just go into my disk management and delete all partitions of my 3 TB drive.  Once all the unallocated space, I could then right click on the drive and choose "convert to GPT disk.  It is!  Now my secondary drive shows 2794,39 GB free.  Nice.

  • Replace a damaged by a larger, faster hard drive.

    I have a laptop CQ62-306AU Presario with a damaged hard drive that still worked somehow in safe mode. The vehicle currently has a HD SATA 320 5200 I want to replace it with a 750Go drive 7200.

    The repair manual says it will support a HDD of 750 GB 5200, but also the only HD 320 GB it supports is a 7200 while my current HD is a 5200. A little confusing.

    Does anyone have any idea if it will support my preferred 750Go 7200 disk?

    Hello

    I don't think that we also have 5200 TR / MIN, yes you can use 7200 RPM HARD drive, it is a little faster than 5400 RPM. More CACHE will be better but more expensive.

    Kind regards.

  • series of 100 ReadyNas rn104 principle capacity hard drive

    Hello

    I have a disc of 4 Tb. still one of 3 Tb. more I can put in my rn104

    Hello

    I think the RN104 and others in support of this range of NAS drives up to 8 TB of capacity.

    Note that default RAID is used, so unless you did something to change this, do not not the capability of your NAS as simply being the sum of all your disks. I think, when RAID is enabled, you can expect to 'lose' capactity as a "tax RAID" 1 Road (StephenB thank you for a very reasonable period). Things become a little more complicated when you start mixing disks of different capacities.

  • INITIALIZE MY EXTERNAL 1 TB CAPACITY HARD DRIVE

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Right click on computer > manage > storage > disk management.

    If the new disk has no options to create a partition, there's a red symbol to the left of the image for this? If there is, do a right-click and initialize the disk. The partition option should now appear and you can click straight and shaped.

  • Low storage. Can I install more large hard drive?

    I have a Mac Book Pro, which has a very low storage capacity. I heard that I could have a larger capacity hard drive installed. Who sells it and who does it? Is it very expensive?

    It depends on which of the more than 50 called MacBook Pro computer you have EXACTLY.

  • Computer does not recognize large hard drive.

    I installed a larger capacity hard drive in my Dell laptop (Vista) ranging from 100 GB to 500 GB. I've used EaseUs Todo v4 to clone the hard disk and then put the new 500 GB in the laptop. Everything works fine, but the system still says that my OS has only 100 GB instead of 500 GB. The system recognizes the new hd (he calls it by name). I rebooted and you press "Esc", "F1" and "F8" all now claim. I'm sure this is an easy fix (hopefully) but I am at a loss. Your help will be appreciated.

    David

    You may need to Flash the BIOS.  There is a barrier to 127 GB.  Go to the Dell web site, enter your service tag and check the updates to the BIOS.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • More large hard drive

    Can I replace 60 G Cdrive with a bigger hard drive. How can I transfer the operating system and programs installed to the new drive. HP 6 G drive may be removed or used.

    jonnbrown wrote: I can replace 60 G Cdrive with a bigger hard drive. How can I transfer the operating system and programs installed to the new drive. HP 6 G drive may be removed or used.

    Hello jonnbrown, you can almost always replace an existing hard drive with a larger capacity hard drive. There are a few considerations to know.

    You must know the limitations of the BIOS for a hard drive. Some allow up to 127 GB of capacity. Most more recent system BIOS will allow the larger hard disks.

    It may be possible to update an older BIOS so that it would accept a HDD capacity more than the limit of 127 GB.

    It is suggested that, whenever you replace a hard drive in a system, you perform a new installation of the operating system.

    Sometimes, you can use a program that does a disk hard image and save it to another device, such as an external hard drive and the use of this image to restore new hard disk. You cannot be to simply copy data from the old hard drive to the new hard drive.

    You may be able to use the 60 GB hard drive as a backup disk once the new hard drive is installed and the system works as it should, if you have a location in the case of another hard drive.

  • Request to format the hard drive

    What a good application to format a hard drive that would be sold to someone else?

    I m usually a larger capacity hard drives and hard disk which has been the main drive, even if it is formatted through disk utility change, it offers a way to completely erase the data, so it cannot be retrieved by another user of the doesn´t. So I m just wondering if West another application that would allow me to do exactly that. I m running Mac OS X Lion mountain.

    Thanks for the tips

    Use the option erase secure in disk utility, or throw the files which have data sensitive in the Finder and many empty the trash before you format it.

    Files that are coded can simply be deleted.

  • Portege 7100 - what size HARD drive it does support?

    Hello

    my old man (I'm a student, so no money for a new) Portege 7100 (ct) has a small hard drive, so I want to shift to a bigger... but what size HARD drive supports the 7100ct? (and that's a 1.8 "or can I use drives 2.5"?)

    thx for any help...

    Hello

    As far as I know that your unit has standard 2.5 "hard drive. Unfortunately there is no public record of such information. Accurate information, you can get that from accredited service partner or even some HARD drive supplier.
    In my opinion, your device must be able to manage with maximum up to 8 or 10 GB HARD drive. For me, we know that some offering it can manipulate the BIOS with special tools and after that BIOS recognize a much larger capacity HARD drive.

    Try to pick up some information on the net service partner or call your country. I believe that consultation service is free.

    Good bye

  • Can I replace the hard drive of my Satellite A100?

    I have a Satellite A100 - 033 PSAANE, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. The hard drive is 60 g. I save almost all of my data to an external hard drive, but nevertheless hard drive eventually won't have enough space for the growing number of programs that I have installed various temporary files, etc.. For example, I would like to install VirtualBox and run XP (Ido have a copy), and Linux and perhaps a few other systems operating within it, but that is likely to consume more of hard drive space I have available.

    Anyone know if it is possible to get out of my existing hard drive and replace it with another of higher capacity? Is this possible?

    I need to reinstall Vista on the new disc, from the emergency disk that came with the PC. I don't mind this, but will be Windows Vista "recognized" when I try to install the new hard disk?

    Sorry if these questions seem naïve, but I don't know how to put a new hard drive in a laptop computer, or even if it is possible. I bought the Toshiba in February 2007, which was just after Vista had been released. I had not given the choice of XP: Vista was the only Toshiba operating system provide at this time. I was assured that a 60G hard drive would be perfect for Vista, but I have to tell you that, in my opinion, that I was wrongly advised, and that Toshiba should never have released a 60G machine for use with Vista. Where my wish to have a hard drive with a larger capacity.

    Yes, you can install a larger capacity HARD drive. In my view, the A100 can take any size SATA 2.5 "HDD, so you should be able to successfully install a 250 GB or 320 GB.

    In terms of Windows, you can reinstall using the Toshiba Recovery disk came with the laptop.

    Directions for use:

    Remove the screws from the cover of the HARD drive based on the laptop to access the HARD disk.
    Pull the HARD drive out
    Transfer media cradle of HARD drive to the new HARD disk
    Slide in the new HARD drive and screw the cover of the HARD drive.
    Turn on the laptop and press F12 to access the start menu.
    Insert your recovery disk and choose CD icon to boot from it.
    Follow the prompts to install Windows.
    Connect your original HDD to the A100 using a USB adapter to restore your files/documents.

    PS. Don't forget to back up your important files regularly. HARD drives can fail at any time, since they have delicate moving parts, even when new.
