Considering a new 7200 RPM hard drive

1I? I have a video on my laptop.

5400 RPM does very well now, but 80 GB is getting crowded. I want a bigger drive. Do I need a faster drive as well?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing a 7200 RPM drive in a ThinkPad R6?

Choose with care. I didn't notice much difference between 5400 and 7200 RPM power consumption drives, but this last run a little warmer.

If you can afford it, go with a Seagate.

I hope this helps.

  • 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. :)

    Kind regards

  • 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 °

  • Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

    Hello guys,.

    First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
    As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

    The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
    I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

    To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
    Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

    Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.
    STL

    Hello

    As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
    In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

    In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

  • Someone at - it problems of heat upgrade to a 7200 RPM HARD drive in a MacBook Pro 13,3 "2.5 GHz Core i5 (A1278) - mid-2012, MD101LL/A?

    HI - it would be an update of the stock 5400 RPM, 500 GB HARD drive. The 7200 drive I bought is 1 TB.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    As long as it's a SATA HDD with a 2.5 form factor ", it will be compatible.  You experience a slight increase in performance with the faster HARD drive, but it will not appear in 50% faster than the 5400 RPM HARD drive.

    Ciao,.

    Addendum: There will be no observable heat problems.  I did it several times myself on all of my 4 Mbps.

  • Is it safe to install a 7200 RPM hard drive in a laptop that originally contained a 5400 RPM HDD?

    Hello.  First of all, I didn't know where to post this, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.  Recently, the hard drive on my Toshiba Satellite is dead and I'm new.  I wonder if it is safe replace the dead 5400 RPM hard disk provided with the machine with a new hard drive 7200 RPM.  A few friends told me that it is perfectly safe, while others told me they burn out and possibly damage to my laptop.  What think you of all?  Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

    It is perfectly safe and preferable.  If you are going to spend more than $100 you can think of a SSD drive, if your computer is new enough (not XP or vista era) to benefit from.

  • Satellite L670 - 1 DG-can I use a 7200 RPM HARD drive?

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite L670 - 1 DG (out of warranty) and I would change the HARD 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM drive.
    It is technically possible on this machine? Is is necessary to use a Toshiba HDD (or open)?

    Thanks for your replies.
    Laurent

    Of course, you can use and must not be Toshiba HDD.
    The only thing that can happen is that this HARD drive fastest heat producing a bit more where the HARD drive is placed can so be a little warmer than usual.

    All that s.

  • Equium A60 sees no 80 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

    My Equium PSA67E has the latest version of the Bios 1.90. It comes with a 40 GB hard drive.

    When I did it I replaced it with a 80 GB seagate momentus 7200 RPM drive. This is fine for about 6 months. Recently I started to laptop and it does not recognize the 80 GB seagate drive?

    If I put the disc in the event of external drive I can write and read. It works very well in 2 of my friends laptops; but my own bios do not now recognize!

    I tried the PC world where I bought it and they can't operate in this laptop. What could change? Now only the old 40 GB drive, not happy :(

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Hello

    In my view, there could be either a bad connection between the HARD drive and the controller or there is something wrong with the motherboard for laptop

    Have you tried to insert another disc (for example the old 40 GB HARD drive) HARD to check the functionality of the Board and the HARD disk controller?
    Please do it.

  • DV5220us will not identify Seagate 500 GB Sata 7200 RPM hard drive XP

    Hello

    Upgrade the internal HD on my DV5220us of the standard 120 GB drive at 5400 RPM to a 500 GB drive at 7200 RPM and I have problems with the laptop recognize the drive. I did a ghost of the 120 GB image and then put the image on the 500 GB. When I install the 500 GB drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it. booting with the XP cd does not recognize the drive either. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, 24 I think, stll nothing. If I use cables and connect the 500 GB as a slave drive, he sees very well and it works. If I take the 500 GB and install in my Lenovo T61, it starts fine. No idea why the DV5220us does not recognize the HD Seagate 500 GB Sata 7200 RPM? Thank you!

    T

    No one gave me an explanation to the problem. I'm actually advise to stick with a 320 GB 5400 RPM drive 500 GB 5400 RPM drives because have also been reported to cause problems. I'm sorry.

  • 24GB flash acceleration Cache HDD & 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

    I am considering buying the ENVY 17 t-j100 TouchSmart Quad Edition.  Two custimization options are:

    24GB flash acceleration Cache hard drive

    1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

    As I understand it, these two use SSD to accelerate the performance of the hard disk.  I have a few questions:

    Is there a difference between the two?

    How many GB of SSD are on the drive hybrid?

    You can get both, or would they overlap?

    Thank you.

    Yes, there is a difference. The hybrid hard drive is home to the NAND Flash inside the car. Acceleration is made by the player himself. Hybrid hard drives are faster than a disk mechanical spinner, but the MSSD cache acceleration is faster. Faster is a full SSD. Cache Accelerator speed up startup and loading frequently used programs but doesn't do much for read/write sustained speeds. However, it makes the whole computing experience better. start time of 15 seconds and resume almost instantly from sleep, for example. The hybrid propulsion system is just a regular hard disk gradually faster. I would get the WSSD of 24 concert and you need not the hybrid car with her and I think that they only Pack the WSSD of 24 concert with a player standard spinner.

  • Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

    I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

    If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
    This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.
