Failure of SATA 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM

Hello, never posted before, so this is. My i - mac 2010 hardrive failed.

I would like to get a replacement can anyone point me to a reliable source... For a good replacement hardrive if you please. I think also, apparently the hard drive must be SATA II, not III. Those from my local computer store seems to be III SATA, SATA III does not work?

I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Also, I'm in the United Kingdom. If a British supplier would be great. Thank you very much.

My first suggestion is to make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar for the service. If you need a Apple Store - find a store - Apple. Check first to see if they can replace the drive for you. Unless you know how to disassemble your iMac and fix, I wouldn't recommend that you try. In regards to a disc, you should look into disk utility to see what is the serial number and the model for the wrong drive, if you can. Good replacements are made by HSGT. You may need a special connector to replace the disk temperature probe or your fan runs at full speed all the time. Looking for more information and tutorials at OWC.

Almost all SATA III drives are compatible with SATA II disk controllers. They will work unless the model States that is not backward compatible.

    Hallo all

    Can someoane help me with this little problem?
    I have a portable satellite A210-128 with a hard drive of 250 G 4200 RPM (* slowest *)... I want to change the hard drive with a hdd 2.5 "Western Digital 320 G 7200 RPM (* speed *).

    Question:

    Thank you.

    As to the question;

    (1) I think a SATA2 HARD drive would go because the standard SATA2 is compatible to the bottom. But I assume that the system will operate as a good HDD SATA.

    (2) Yes, you can install vista using the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It shouldn't be a problem with a fresh install

  • Info for: mSATA SSD 80 GB and 750 GB hard drive (7200 RPM)

    I buy the 14-2160SE Envy Beats Edition and it has a double drive; SSD HARD DRIVE &. I can't find any definitive info on the HP site or on the web. I am familiar with both types of readers, but not both on the same computer. How does it work? What is the purpose? If it switches automatically or pass them? And, especially, it works for the intended use? Although this is my first post, I'm a believer in public forums, so I don't know that I'll be back as soon as I got my desire. Thanks in advance for your help. Sam

    The 80 GB SSD can contain the operating system and the 750 GB hard drive will be for storage. SSDS are very (very) fast but expensive, so you can get the speed without the monstrous price advantage by combining a little cheaper SSD with a hard drive for storage. I have a 500 GB SSD and it costs more than $600, but I thought I got a good deal. My laptop takes only a single drive. You have the advantage of being able to use the same laptop 2.

    Readers will appear as readers symbolized under "Computer" (Windows Explorer). The SSD will be "C:\ >. Just be sure to move the "My Documents" folder to drive hard (if this has not already been done). Also when you install a new program and it asks the path where you want to install it, put it on the hard drive. In this way, you keep the SSD of McNeil. 80 GB will be plenty as long as you don't try to store large media files.

  • Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

    I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

    I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

    I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

    See you soon

    Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

    • Hardware failure
    • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
    • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
    • A firmware update is necessary

    No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

    Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

    If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

    Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

  • Wil Windows does not recognize a SATA Hitachi Travelstar HARD drive

    Go to the web site of the manufacturer of the computer and see if they have downloads of BIOS update available for your system and your version of Vista.  If so, download and install it and see if that makes a difference - the update may allow recognition to the (if the BIOS is the problem).  Are you certain that you have done all the necessary BIOS changes and that your choice is right for your situation - check this after update if you need to don't do only once.

    Are you absolutely sure that the drive is compatible with the system and your version of Vista and you have installed the drivers of proer? You have a SATA drive it before or is this the first SATA drive on this computer?

    Remove the disc, remove and replace all connections to ensure they are secured (at both ends) and check it out again.

  • SATA 3 Upgrade hard drive

    Problems with my hard drive so I'm upgrading to a larger device SATA 3. Just thought I would check with Dell to see if the motherboard supports SATA 3 or if it would simply be it throttle back so that it acts as a SATA 2 device.

    Unfortunately, I had the answer "it won't work".  When I pressed them on whether if it meant it would not work in mode SATA 3, after many expectations while the technician looked at offline, the best I could get was that the motherboard isn't compatible SATA 3... and it would not work.

    I must admit that I do not understand this kind of response. Anywhere else I looked on the Internet it says that everything is interchangeable, and if the motherboard does not support native SATA 3 then the HARD drive works in SATA 2 (slowest mode)

    Dell correct and everything everyone else wrong, or is this another case of I need to get my hands on more technically competent assistance?

    Or worse yet is this another exclusive DELL problem.

    Jettgod

    Hi Jettgod,

    Dell Studio XPS 435MT comes with chipset based Intel X 58 motherboard and SATA support in operations, in SATA II mode. A hard drive SATA III is backward compatible and works on your system, however, it will give you speeds of SATA II only.

    For more information on the Intel X 58 chipset, you can check for a link: http://intel.ly/11l1Tbp

    I hope this helps. Do not respond if you have any other questions.

  • Failure to make an external HARD drive... Why?

    I took an old SATA hard drive and installed in an external enclosure.

    The accommodation has all the fittings supply, a USB 2.0 port and an e-SATA port.

    I want to format the drive it connected to a USB port of spare on my desk. The PC recognizes a device has been plugged in, driver loaded, but I can't access the device at all.

    In Control Panel / devices and printers, he appears as a "USB to Serial bridge - ATA" and I can access its properties. I want to use it as an external storage,

    HOW CAN I DO THIS? Help! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

  • Re: Portege R830 eSATA - failure to mount the external hard drive

    {color: #000000} I have a new Portege R830 with combined eSATA / USB port. It will recognize an external drive in as drive 0 Device Manager but does not mount the drive under Win 7 x 64. The road rises and works absolutely normally under USB2 via the combined port or one of the other ports on the PC. The player works absolutely normally under eSATA on another desktop PC Win 7 x 64

    Search Internet suggests that this is a widespread problem with Win 7, but given the above commentary to normal operation on my desk, strongly indicates that it is "simply" a laptop Toshiba driver problem Win 7 x 64.

    A workaround solution that someone had reported was to boot the PC with the drive connected. This will lead to the PC mount the drive, but I found to be unreliable - tends to freeze the unpredictable machine, but when logged in it showed he was transferring data at a reasonable speed.

    The search for these forums, no solution has not identified... Toshiba - think you should answer it please!

    Afetr all is a 'feature' significant on the Portege and rather defeats the point if it is impossible to use...

    Kind regards

    Kevin {color}

    Hi mate

    First of all, it is a forum for a user to this don t address issues from Toshiba here in the forum, but other users of this community.

    Back to your question; Does this mean that the HARD drive connected to the eSATA port cannot be recognized as device eSATA but USB device?

    Please check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the BIOS version transferred to 29/07/11.
    In addition, I recommend to check the BIOS settings; check if eSATA is activated it.

    Hello Fiona-s,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum of Support HP!

    I'm afraid that the HARD drive has failed - the question is material one and all simply restore/reinstall will not solve it. Yes, you need to replace the HARD disk new or better with the SSD. SSDS are up to 10 times faster than hard drives:

    > http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide/ssd-vs-hdd

    > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    There are more than 100 manufacturers and sellers SSD, but personally, I would choose Samsung, Intel, Toshiba, or OCZ ones.

    Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 have supported for SSDS. Vista and XP - no

    You will need a recovery media to restore the windows once you have installed the new SSD or HARD disk.

    You can get possible by contacting HP Support. Here's how:

  • What is the difference between a hard disk 7200 RPM and a 5900 RPM HDD?

    I guess, but doesn't this average 7200 tours / minute.  A 5900 would be difference of 1300 towers.

    Hello

    Faster a car runs faster, it can access the files. Of course, there may be other differences
    that affect speed such as the cache size, number or heads and others.

    Check the transfer rate DTR (Data) - slower disks are usually cheaper.

  • T60 60 GB SATA 320 GB HARD drive upgrade

    I know just enough to be dangerous, please bear with me.

    I have a T60 1953 - D7U with the original Toshiba 60 GB HDD SATA/150, which is saturated.  I've used Norton Ghost to copy the 60 GB drive to a Fijitsu 320 HDD SATA/300, which was in an external USB enclosure.  Both are 5400 RPM.  I copied the MBR.

    After that I installed the 320 GB drive, the T60 will not start.  Using F12 to interrupt the boot process, I see the listed 320 GB drive, but apparently it does not appear as a boot drive.

    Is there anything else I need to do for the T60 to boot from the new drive?

    Note: the controller SATA Mode Option is set to "AHCI".  The other option is "compatibility."   That this has something to do with it.

    Add ' l Info: initially, I tried to copy the 60 GB and the 320 GB using Acronis True Image v7.0 which was on a bootable CD.  Acronis has a msg of error E000101F4 No. Drive 0 Found.  She not only saw the attached USB 320 GB drive.  That's why I went to Ghost.  Y at - it no problem using Ghost for this copy?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Pontiac196, welcome to the forum,

    the SATA mode has nothing to do with it, the problem here is that your player target must be inserted as primary drive in your T60 for the cloning process to work.

    The following knowledge base articles must contain I hope that all the info you need.

    X 61 image deployment - a material similar to T60

    Cloning R61 - a material similar to T60

    T61 HDD Upgrade - a material similar to T60

    Happy, cloning and let know us how it works.
