HDD for Lenovo T61 6458-6QG

Hello! I have laptop T61 6458-6QG and you want to change the HARD drive to a 500 GB. What brand and type of drive to buy? What is the best right now for this laptop?

Yes, you can use a SATA II drive.

With stock BIOS it will transfer as well always to SATA I speeds (aka SATA 150).

With a modded BIOS, you will be able to use all the features SATA II.

  • Larger and faster hard drive model T61 6458-CTO

    6i would like to know which is the hard drive bigger and faster that I can buy for a T61 (6458-CTO).

    It has a 80 GB hard drive, 5400 RPM and SATA interface (1.5 Gb/s).

    Can I buy a SATA II (3 Gb/s, 500 GB and 7200 RPM) for this computer?

    Thank you.

    > Buy a SATA II (3 Gb/s and 500 GB 7200 RPM) for this computer?

    Yes, you can, however, due to limitations in the T61, there only a SATA I interface. This isn't really a problem because the drive itself is unable to transfer data at the maximum speed of the interface.

  • T61 + locked HDD for warranty repair

    Hello Forum,

    My T61 (less than one year) suddenly stopped posting and loading windows. LEDs, fan will pass on, two beeps, but no out put on-screen. Tried an external monitor, air cleaned the openings of ventilation and heatsink without result.

    If the machine has been sent for repair under warranty.

    Question;

    1. I have improved the original HDD with a WD 500 GB HDD, does it affect the limited three-year warranty?
    2. I removed that drive and replaced the original 120 GB of HARD drive before you send him off of the laptop, I had put a HARD drive on the laptop locking and so can't access the data on the WD HARD drives on the desktop / HDD enclosure. I presume that attaching this drive to a another PC would simply give me a password and I then enter the password and access my data, does not. This gave me a few scary chills; If a major component such as the chip of the card mother/security or the portable integer is replaced, the laptop will be able to recognize that it locked HDD and prompt for the password? I have no recent backup and it has reminded me (again) to save before leaving home, backup when you get home, and then perform another backup while you sleep!

    Advice or guidance to this mental torture will be highly appreciated.

    In Australia, you can tell them the password and they will remove it for you. If you could call Lenovo and tell them to put a note here regarding the password, if the filing of the application for Lenovo, this information may be transmitted to technicians so they need.

  • For lenovo y50 cooling pad

    Hi, can someone suggest me a good block of cooling for lenovo y50

    Y50 fans look like they are in the same way they are in most laptops. They suck in air from the bottom and exhaust is placed on the sides or the back. In most cases on the rise, the desktop is sufficient to lower the temperatures of a few degrees. I myself did not use the fan in my block of cooling for centuries. It is more comfortable to use when he raised and tilted, and also the air flow is improved. And then I game not on my laptop for games more. When I got to the big finish cpu in my laptop (that the footer) and overclocked my GPU and memory, I removed the bottom cover of my Y580 and the fan on. The temperatures where there is a little lower, but I made it mainly to keep my HDD cooler because it gets really hot in this laptop under load.

  • How to check the Toshiba HDD for the failures and bad sectors?

    Hello

    I didn't really know where post this so im sorry if it's completely irrelevant to anyone, but I have an Alienware laptop and they can not help me (I know what your what to think he done here then?) so I was wondering if anyone knew a software that allows me to check the Toshiba HDD for bad sectors and failures etc.

    I used Hitachi Drive fitness test, but it will not help other that say there are critical and even with the seagate software, all mistakes two loading floopy. It would really help, and I couldn't find anything on the part of the customer support site. The answer probably lies with Alienware, but I can't contact them by phone right now...

    Thanks Khaloi.

    Hello

    The easiest way is to use the Windows operating system error checking option.
    Please go to the "My Computer", right-click on the drive and choose Properties.
    In the 'Tools' tab you will find the error checking. Here, you can mark them automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  • Need new HDD for my Satellite C855 1RL

    My drive hard internal is not read and was told that I need a new. Where can I buy a new HDD for a Satellite C855 1RL, and what kind of money it costs. I have the recovery disks

    Thank you

    You can buy new HARD drive in every store of the computer. What you need is 2.5 "SATA HDD.
    In my opinion you should now reflect on the upgrade and buy SSD that will offer more performance and make your laptop run much faster than before.

    Talk with your dealer ad pick up some useful information about the HDD and SSD upgrade Exchange.

    Hi bert958,

    Sounds like a motherboard, probably a dead fuse problem.

    But because the fuses are soldered, you will need a new motherboard unless you can fix it yourself.

  • XPS 8910 additional HDD for backup

    I installed a second HDD for backup purposes. When I press F2 to enter the program installation, everything, but the date and the time is grayed out and cannot be changed. I noticed that the readers are displayed as a RAID, AHCI no configuration. Can I change my safe RAID AHCI? I tried to make the change, but the warning was scary! What other steps can I take to allow me to activate the second disc? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    For some reason, the disk management works today! I was able to select the new disk, format it and assign a drive letter, and go from there. I have installed Acronis backup software and managed to create a backup and recovery boost for the startup disk. So what has changed? I have no idea. Before today, I couldn't select the new drive to do something with it. Maybe a Windows update which took place?

    Be it - thanks to all of you who took the time to answer. It's that kind of support that make useful forums. Happy it all!
