Equium A200 HARD drive upgrade - 15l

Hello
I would like to move my existing hard drive and would like to ask the following questions:

(a) what would be the exact specification to look out for the replacement hard drive, so that I would order the ie.320gb one, but with a greater capacity, even?

(b) that I expect any problem using the product recovery disc to install the new drive?

(c) I much prefer to make an exact copy/backup of the original drive to the new drive. As they are not the same size, it would be possible?

(d) there is a second disc HDD2, what would be needed to allow the second hard drive to install?
Your kind advise or comments would be appreciated. Kind regards, Philippe

(a) the new HARD drive should also be a TOUGH 2.5 SATA interface drive.
You can take a 320 GB or larger. The SATA interface has no limit of capacity for the old standard IDE.

(b) it's no problem to use the HARD disk recovery disk because it s the same model of laptop.

(c) Yes, it is possible to make an exact copy of the HDD's (clone). There are many programs on the market for this, but I use Acronis True Image. It of easy to use and I never had any problems with it.
For example, you can clone the old HDD to new and set disk space each your partitions if you have more like a.

(d) you must use a second HDD if you another SATA connector.

  • Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
    I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    These are the specs on the site
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

    Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
    Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
    I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

    Hello

    are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

    RPM
    buffer
    Number of PINS
    Type of the ATA

    I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

    Concerning

    Lee

    Hello

    I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

    If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

    Good luck!

  • HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

    Thank you

    The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

    Data sheet

    6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

    Manual

    Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

  • Equium A200 PSAE8E: Need info on memory and HARD drive upgrade

    In the manual of my Equium A200 PSAE8E described the possibility for the user to add a second internal hard drive and upgrade the memory from 2 GB to 4 GB. This can be done by the end user without taking the laptop to the local service for repair.

    I would like to order a 200 GB internal second hard drive, as well as to replace the 2 chips of 2 GB of Ram with 2 4 GB chips, but I find not the product ID for these modules, because it seems that this model of Toshiba psae8e is not registered for compatibility.

    Someone has technical details about the product ID and the cost to be sure to order the right parts without compatibility issues?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I would like to add some info on the second HARD drive on laptop Equium A200 upgrade.
    As far as I know all the A200 are delivered with the second HARD drive location. This location is available, but not all phones of A200 could be improved with the second HARD disk, since it lacks the second HARD disk controller interface.

    Therefore, you should be 100% sure if your laptop can handle the second HDD.
    You can simply check this remove the cover of the location of the HDD on the second and check if the connection of the HARD disk is available.
    If this isn't the case, then you cannot move the laptop with the second HARD drive.

    Now something about the memory.
    I studied in the internet for some compatible modules and surprise, surprise ;)
    Found this wonderful site:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=30715&ft=m&St=3

    According to the news the portable supports the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM memory modules.

    All parts such as memory or HARD drive can be ordered also with the service provider authorized in your country!

  • Re: Equium A200-1VO hard drive upgrade

    Hello there, I am hoping that there is someone out there who could give me a little advice!

    I have a laptop Equium A200-1VO, but unfortunately I need to replace the hard drive. He currently holds a 120 GB drive, but I wonder if the laptop could face if I replaced it with a capacity of 500 GB? Otherwise, 350GB?

  • Equium A60-155 - HARD drive upgrade

    I have an Equium A60-155 with 40G HARD drive.
    The manual says that this model comes with up to 80G installed, but is it possible to upgrade to 120, or even 160G?

    Hello

    If your laptop comes with a HDD of 80 GB then you ve got a good chance a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive would be supported.
    I have no course with a size of 160GB HARD drive but I m m the 160 GB might be too afraid.

    I recommend you use and test a 120 GB

  • HARD drive upgrade to 320 on Satellite Pro A200SE - 1 X 6

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A200SE - 1 X 6, that it came with 80 GB hard drive and I want to upgrade to 320 GB HARD disk, is it possible?

    At the back of the laptop, I found a compartment for a second HDD to HDD2.
    I tried to open it by unscrewing the screws but I couldn't take off the cover even after I removed the two screws, could someone help me on how to remove the cover HDD2? *

    Last question, what type of HARD drive I need to purchase?
    I thought it might be SATA!

    Thank you very much
    Taha

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure if a HDD 320 would go well on your Satellite A200 and BIOS recognize it without big problems.
    First of all try to test it somehow

    With regard to the second disc cover HARD;
    I have an A200 Equium and same second HARD drive Bay is available on my laptop.
    The plastic cover is fixed ONLY with these two screws and after the withdrawal of these two screws, you should be able to remove the HARD drive Bay cover too.
    I know a little bit more difficult but try to use a thin object and try to leverage.
    But be careful!

    Just a note;
    Not all A200 supports the second HDD! But the second span is always available.
    Yes, it's a bit confusing (I was too confused), but it seems that there are different models with different motherboards and that's why the second HARD disk controller is not always there.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - HARD drive upgrade options

    I received a P200D-139 and there seem to be two 40GB hard drives.

    I want to upgrade if I put Windows 7 on it.

    I have updated the BIOS, so how big a drive can I put into each slot of the HARD drive?

    I'm also going to 4 GB of RAM.

    See you soon

    Gary1857

    Hello

    Satellite or Equium P200D series was equipped with SATA HDD.
    This means that mobile supports the SATA HDD controller, which means that we must avoid any physical limitation.

    Usually, you can use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA
    But I think that 320 HARD drive should be good enough
    What do you think?

  • I'll do a clean install on a blank hard drive upgrade but want to keep my Firefox settings - what is the best way to do this?

    I'll do an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. I will be installing Windows 7 on a new empty hard drive. I want to keep my bookmarks Firefox and Ad Ons. What is the best way to do it. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.

    Learn you more about the Firefox profile folder, how to backup and restore, here.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at in another option for you.

  • Tecra Z40 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    I bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HARD drive. As a replacement, I bought the next SSD:

    Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB

    Unfortunately I don't have to work. On the BIOS, I see that the system recognizes the ssd. But the boots of system restore, or windows 8.1 detail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?

    Problems persist if the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.

    I have upgraded to the latest version of the bios to 3.7, but that did not change the result.

    If the BIOS recognizes the new SSD drive, the drive must be visible to the system.
    May I ask how did you try to install the OS Windows 8.1?
    Have what media you used?

    The Z40 Tecra can't internal ODD (optical disc). This is why I m wondering about the installation procedure

  • Satellite Pro A200 - hard drive has lost half it's memory

    I have a toshiba Satellite Pro A200 on Vista. Vista came preloaded and I not all disks for it. I got it from the new (Sept 2007). The hard disk is divided into units. Recently my C drive has filled competely and I now no space left (went 55gigs) I store some data in this drive. All my multimedia elements (music, photos, and other files) is in my E drive. I have to run C Cleaner whenever I start in order to have enough space for the operation of the computer. I also remove all but the last restore point in order to function.

    I am at my wits end and think I must have a virus or something. Is there a way to restore the computer to the 'new '? I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive, so I don't mind from scratch. Not keeping in mind I have no install discs as Vista came preloaded.

    Can anyone help? Please, I beg you!

    Hello

    If you don't have a recovery disk, you can order from Toshiba for the money. Otherwise, you can get copy of Windows and installed with the drivers of Toshiba (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
    Then, you mentioned that hard drive has lost half it's memory, tell you if it was ok before but not available? Please check disk management, utility of the Panel. What is shown here?
