Hard drive replacement for Satellite M30 604

Problems with my hard drive and wanting to change it. Think original was an IC25N060ATMR04-0, what appears to be a Hitachi 4200 RPM 60 GB UDMA hard drive with an 8 Meg buffer. Can I replace it with a bigger, faster disk? If yes should which technique I have? Grateful for any ideas!

Hello

So, just be sure to install a disk IDE and not SATA. The rest is obsolete since you don t have to take care for all care such as speed or the cache. Just take the most large drive you can download and install it.

That's all. In the case of any questions do your thougts throw in this forum here ;)

  • 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,

    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.

  • Hard drive replacement on Satellite L500

    Hello

    I need to buy a new hard drive, but want to make sure that the new one will agree and will work. they have laptops are all the same size. I have a satellite l500. http://www.umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=4 Will this hard drive fit into my portable Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 G SATA 5400 RPM, 8 M laptop HARD drive.

    What am I, I guess, at the research of?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately this link doesn t show the HARD drive so if you can please change the link post the right one

    In any case, what you need is 2.5 SATA HDD and I think HDD described in your ad will fit. Replacement isn't complicated and you can do it alone.

  • HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

    Hello!!

    I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

    BIOS version 1.50

    I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

    http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

    Thnx

    Hello

    Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
    I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
    It should work.
    But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

    However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

    I have a Dell xps17 702 x with service NOTE from the ADMINtag: maintain the label removed according to the rules of confidentiality > and get warnings from the race. More disk space. I had hoped 2x500GB tthat would be enough, but photos and your music take up much space.

I would also change the boot disk for one SSD.  I looked on the Dell site for my service tag, and it offers only 640GB HDD 500 GB SSD, which is not sufficient. I can't find anything that tells me if there is a theoretical maximum capacity.  For example, I could put a 2 TB drive in?

  • Hard drive replaced on Satellite A10 wouldn t

    Hello

    I have a laptop A10. the hard drive died on me and was contracted. I bought a new hard drive, put it in and turned it back.

    Comes up with the media test failure, check the system cable\insert disk in the drive.

    I do not have any disk system, I just one cd with drivers, I bought the laptop.

    How to make a system disk? any ideas?

    A solution may be to reinstall the drive CORRECTLY and try again.

    In most cases the player was just connected innacurate so that it has no connection and cannot be recognized.
    Or try to connect to another HARD drive in this machine to exclude an error into the connector on the HARD drive.

    But if you're sure that you correctly connected your drive and your test with a HARD drive another managed to 10000%, then send the HARD drive to the dealer where you bought
    and the player, who they send to you.

  • Satellite M30-604 - mechanical hard drive failure

    My satellite M30 604 is guaranteed (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hard drive crashed unexpectedly. The accident is probably mechanical, so I can't use data recovery software (makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD a specialist who will open in a 'white room' for something like 300-600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:

    -> Toshiba said that if I do that, the guarantee is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (100 euros)

    -> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba Gets the old drive and I lose my data forever!

    WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!

    (a) it's my data, my work and you CAN'T make me blackmailing you with such things 'warranty void. I want my old crushed drive back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10 hour work - someday is here!

    (b) Moreover even if the heads of the drive crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are always in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How toshiba (or any other company for that matter) asking me to give it to them?

    What should I do?
    What would you do?

    Hello
    I sympathize with your problem and can suggest only the following reflections:

    1. the recovery of your data seems the most important factor here. I suggest you to remove the HARD drive so that it can be sent to a specialist to retrieve data are possible.

    2. Since the removal of the disc HARD not not usually involves a broad dismantling of Notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HARD drive itself).

    3 replacement HARD drive can generally be obtained quite a beneficial one of internet sellers price (check using GOOGLE to a suitable replacement). You can then reinstall your OS recovery CD.

    4. I suggest investing in a bunch of backup software (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I had four replacement hard drives on my Satellite A30 in the past 12 months).

  • Satellite M30-604: USB Port can not find the driver

    Hello

    I keep having the same problem on my Satellite M30 604 when connecting to a USB device.
    It does not really matter with this kind of device, the problem still.

    Whenever I have insert the USB plug into one of the slots, my home XP keeps popping up the wizzard software.
    Even with devices without drivers such as USB keys, it keeps bothering me and finally tells me that it cannot find the right driver.

    If I try to install a printer, it installs the software found, but finally stops the operation because it can't find the driver (?). I don't know in what direction I should look at to solve this.

    So if anyone can help me on this, I would be very grateful!
    Edwin

    Hello, Edwin

    It's very strange because it is not necessary to install a USB driver and standard Microsoft USB driver should work well. I put t know if this can help, but please check this page

    This fix is also part of the factory settings (recovery image on the delivered CD). By the way: your device is about three years old and it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem. Just for example: I have more Satellite 1900 with USB 1.0 and use USB keys and drive external HARD without any problem.

    The drivers are native drivers for Nvidia/ATI, but the file *.inf (files containing the settings for maps and information material) have been adjusted for mobile systems. This means that you can install on your machine, and by the way, you will get the most current drivers.
