Compatible HARD drive need for my Satellite L655 - 1 6

Hey everybody,

my 4 year old Satellite L655 1 g 6 has recently had some problems and the hard drive needs to be replaced.
Does anyone know about a cheap substitute that should not necessarily be the Toshiba?

I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
Would be very grateful to hear some opinions/suggestions :)

-Thanks in advance

In general you need is of 2.5 HARD drive with connector SATA and these drives, you can find in every store of the computer. Pick up some info on the proposed models, capacities and prices so that you can make a decision that you want to buy.
> I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
In my opinion it's the wrong opinion. Using SSD increase you the performance of laptop computer s quickly and were very quick machine. One day if you do not want to use this laptop, you can remove the SSD and put old HDD inside. SSD can be used on the new machine.
For me, it's the best solution for you.

Last year I've improved my 4 years old P500 with SSD and I m very happy with it. The price was only 149 Euros. It's OK price. Change the HARD drive is not complicated and you can do it alone.

  • HARD drive caddy for old Satellite Pro A10 need

    Hello

    I recently bought an old Pro of Satellite A10 but it doesn't have a hard drive or a caddy, anyone know if one of the other Toshiba Notebook Caddy is compatible with this model? I've been watching autour fleabay, but not a lot of Pro A10 caddy out there.

    Any help is very appreciated

    Kind regards
    Carl

    Until you find HDD caddy put the HARD drive in place and fix it a bit with aluminum foil, just to be sure it will not move during the use of laptop. Don t cover all HARD drive with just one make smallholders and attach the HARD drive in place.

    I did it on my old L300.

  • Windows XP LAN driver needed for my Satellite A100-784

    I bought the Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista. I removed Vista and installed Windows XP (taken from another non-Toshiba notebook)) and then SP2. Now I can't use internet because there is no LAN driver. The drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site do not work.

    Any solution for me? I expect other problems popping up soon, with the sound and so on. Is there a driver for this model with WinXP pack?

    (I would be very happy to get a drive of fast food with Windows XP in English, but customer will not provide any).

    Hello

    Your unit A100 belongs to the PSAANE series.
    Toshiba European Web site offers two versions of driver XP Intel Lan:

    1 Intel LAN driver 8.0.43.0
    2 Intel LAN driver 9.2.24

    The first 8.0.43.0 has been designed to Pro100 LAN and the other for LAN Pro1000 9.2.24

    In addition, I would recommend following the guidelines described in the installation instructions! The drivers must be installed in the correct order.

  • Which hard drive buy for my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB HD 320?

    After receiving an error of 10-FA12 - 054D and do not recover my laptop to zone out, I believe that I have to buy a new hard drive.

    Which hard drive buy for my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB HD 320?

    You can check the Toshiba site for which specifications you need.  A general rule is to buy something at least two times greater than the one that failed, because the data use and therefore the space doubles every 18 months.

    You may want to consider a large enough to allow you to make backups and store in another partition

  • MORE BIG SATELLITE 2595CDT-COMPATIBLE HARD DRIVE?

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum.
    I have this problem.
    I want to improve my 6.4 GB hard drive in the Toshiba Satellite 2595CDT (acquired in the United States).
    I sent an email to Toshiba America and their Division of storage devices, but they keep forward me to local representatives. I ain't get all the answers from them so far.

    My question is if (ver 8.20 update) Satellite 2595CDT BIOS can recognize natively more large hard drives. My intention is to buy a 60 or 80 GB drive.

    Any other owner of the Satellite has this problem?

    Thanks for your help.

    Radu

    Hi Radu

    I think that you who keep Toshiba pass you to local representatives. Try to contact them and you get a lot more information. As far as I know that it is possible to build in the HARD drive with a very high capacity. It is also possible to manage settings of the BIOS to recognize the large capacity HDD. But for this it is necessary to use special tools that have just HARD drive vendors.

  • Compatible hard drives for acer aspire 5749?

    Hi could someone tell me what that hard drives are compatible with an acer aspire 5749 please?

    There are 20 OEM hard drives specified for your model.
    They are all 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM so I suspect that you can use with this specification.
    In addition, you can use the same technique, but the 7200 RPM for the best performance, but this would reduce your operating time of the battery.

    Furthermore, an SSD is perfectly acceptable as suggested philetus. (More expensive but very quickly!)

    Be careful of the USB FFC cable that runs through the HARD disk - it will be deleted/replaced and is easily damaged.

    I don't really know what that NTI, but I would not trust this application with your files. Back up your files REGULARLY, it's something you can do already, not only to replace your hard drive. And that means understand where all your important files and using an easy to keep on a separate hard drive backup program.

  • Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

    Hello

    The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

    Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

    Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

    Thank you in advance,

    Andrejs

    Hi Andrew

    > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
    I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
    This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

    I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
    To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
    In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
    So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

    I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
    HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
    HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2188B-> 80 GB
    HITACHI G8C0000Z610-> 60 GB
    HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2183-> 60 GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2184-> 60 GB

    I hope this might help you a little!

  • 160 GB hard drive update for Satellite Pro M70 - 220

    I want to upgrade my satellite Pro M70-220 portable HARD drive the current 60 GB HDD to a 160 GB HARD drive and you drive would be grateful if someone could provide information on the standard/type of HARD drive I should like being looking for and, if possible, specific manufacturer's recommendations and the model number of an appropriate 160 GB of disk HARD.

    Thank you

    AlanCB

    Hello

    The laptop uses a simple 2.5 SATA HDD.
    It's not really important what the speed of the HARD drive is supported, but I recommend to use the 5400 RPM or faster 7200 RPM HARD drive

    Generally all HARD drive size should be compatible because the SATA controller has no limitations.

  • Satellite M35X-S149 dead hard drive - need advice

    Hi all.

    My old Toshiba Satellite M35X-S149 had a dead hard drive. I took it for repair, but they said it could not be repaired and they could not recover the information about it.

    I think to be auctioned on eBay for parts only. I wonder if all the data that might be on the hard drive can be hacked somehow. I doubt if there is anything that it doesn't matter who would be able to do anything with anyway, but I would like the opinion of someone who knows more about this kind of thing than me.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.

    Carla

    Hey Buddy,

    Why you n t remove the HARD drive before you sell the laptop? I would never sell a HARD drive on eBay because some people try to restore the data. If I have a HARD drive that I don't need more, I use it as HARD drive external or I trash because cheap hard drives these days, you get can 500 GB for about 50 Euros.

    Finally, and especially if the HARD drive is really bad, nobody seems so just remove and sell your laptop without HARD drive. ;)

  • Satellite L750-16Z, bigger new HARD drive need

    Now I need to buy a new internal HDD for my laptop and I would like to buy one that is at least 1 TB. What is the maximum capacity drive that I buy for this laptop and are there restrictions on manufacturers/brands should I buy? Are there good internet sources for this?

    Also, I imagine that most portable hard drives are SATA now.

    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    No one answered it in 2015. Nobody knows the answer please?

    Is a 1 TB SATA HDD good for my laptop model (Satellite-L750-16Z)? Can I get a bigger car? Is SATA the right one?

  • Compatible hard drives for Portege 3480CT

    Hello

    I have a Portege 3480CT and I need to replace its 12 GB (IBM & reg Travelstar) drive hard internal since the former on a developed bad blocks. Now, I assumed that it would be relatively simple, but I was wrong.

    In any case, I got a replacement 2.5 "HD (this time a Hitachi Travelstar, 20 GB drive), but I couldn't make it work. I ran the program from IBM/Hitachi diagnosis and while the old 12 GB HDD is detected and removed ok, the 20 GB does not even get detected (i.e., seems that nothing is on the line of the IDE).

    It was suggested to me by IBM and Hitachi that there is a list of compatibility to their hard drives, and may not be supported (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/compatibility.htm), but I could not find my disc on their list (model is HTS424020M9AT00). Basically, what I want to know is what drives * are * compatible or what my problem with the laptop is otherwise.

    For more info, when I try to install Win2k, I get an ArcRead failure, probably because he thinks that the drive does not exist.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I guess that there is problem with drive HARD and false parameter who decide if the HARD drive is the master or slave.

    In my opinion you should contact the Service partner to ask them which HDD is suitable for your device. You can also check on the net and picking up some information because there are a lot of different suppliers where you can buy the HARD drive. I also found information that it is possible to use the 40 GB HARD drive for your unit, but it must be built in by seller.

    Thank you wb2001,

    A note aside before my supplementary question: Pavlov studies were on classical conditioning.  He used the meat powder in the dogs mouth to stimulate salivation canine combined with the sound of a Bell when the dogs became finally conditioned.  Once conditioned, the dogs would salivate upon hearing the Bell.  What you describe with the reward for behavior is the conditioning operating.  So what you want to say in the future be more precise, it's "I believe in right to Skinner" like B.F. Skinner.

    Be-that-as-TI-may, stick to your reference to Pavlov for now wb2001, you're a good answer away from getting the meat powder.
