HDD Upgrade 6710 b

Eager to upgrade the original HDD in a notebook 6710 b, I came across a document that specifies that a disk 7200 RPM, the allowed maximum size is 120 GB.  I've never heard of this before; This size restriction is legitimate?  I suspect it may be related to feeding, but this seems a size abnormally low. Thank you

It is not that the laptop does not support a 7200 RPM of 120 gig drive; who was the greatest, you could buy when the laptop was new so great in the specifications. As noted, laptop drives now go up to 1 TB but pay attention to what you buy. Number of drives 1 TB are either 5400 RPM or more thick (12 mm vs 9.5 mm) or both. You must have a 9.5 mm, not a 12.

    Hello

    I would really appreciate the help as I'm going round in circles. I have a Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2, and I want to replace the HARD drive and install Windows 7, what is the best HARD drive I can get to the laptop?

    Also, what is the maxium of RAM I can install in your laptop.

    See you soon,.

    Best HARD drive? For that matter I n t I answer. You don't have compatible HARD DRIVE but need to better. According to the specifications of the laptop your drive HARD original was 250 GB SATA HDD.
    I have my HDD Samsung A300 inside. Visit your local dealer and buy high quality with 300 or 400 GB SATA 2.5 HARD drive maybe. It will be sufficient, I think. We Toshiba, Samsung or Hitachi HARD drive. Check the price and decision.

    RAM upgrade: your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM. no more than that. If you have 2 GB inside buy more RAM of 2 GB module. 2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  • HDD upgrade on Satellite M70 (PSM71)

    Hi all

    After upgrading to 2 GB system memory, it was clear my HARD drive slow down the entire system with its noisy race. But looking at the list of "drives hard compatitable" doesn't bring much because there are all external solutions. So I searched and found a few hard drives internal seagate but I don't know if they are compatitable with Satellite M70. M70 does support ultra ATA or SATA?

    I have an external SATA HDD and can observe the difference in speed, clearly that's why I'm ready to upgrade the internal system HDD 5400 to 7200 RPM. As well, but I still don't know if M70 supports Sata or Ultra ATA drives. Need help at this point.

    Best regards

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Satellite M70 supports s HARD drive with SATA interface.

  • Satellite Pro M10 HDD Upgrade - how will work?

    Hello

    I have a question I have a Satellite Pro M10 (PS630E-G207W-GR) and I want to change the hard drive to a 120 GB + HARD drive so I called the Supporthotline because I need the Windows CD and they mean that would work with a new HARD drive, because the Bios does not the new HARD drive, and he was not told why. Now the question is, if it works with an update of the bios, or if maybe there is already a person here with a working 100 GB + HDD from the laptop.

    and sorry for my very bad English

    Hello

    If you are not satisfied with the answers provided by the support, you can also try to communicate with several independent services for hardware upgrade. As far as I know, they are able to manipulate the BIOS to work with hard disks are not supported. Maybe this solution is for you.

    At least on this forum, you can find topics where users of laptops repost on an improvement of HARD drive (more than 100 GB) successfully with older models as your M10. You can order 120 GB of HARD drive and try to use it. If this does not work you can send it back. To do this, you have about 14 days. Test it!

  • G6-2301ax: g6-2301ax hdd upgrade to ssd.

    last 2months.my labtop(g6-2301ax) is so slow (always the start-up time more than 2 minutes and runnig so slow program) that I intend to level hdd to ssd (samsung 850 evo) so I 3questions.
    1. This ssd comparible with my labtop?
    2.slow - operation problems relationship with hard disk or other hardware (processor, memory, etc...)?

    The SSD is compatible. Difficult to say why the laptop is so slow. The A8 processor should be sufficient. 4 to 8 GB RAM upgrade might be a good idea, too. Before you spend money on hardware upgrade, however, I run a complete diagnosis of the hardware test in the diagnosis of UEFI by typing esc or F2 as you power and proceed to "diagnoses" and run all the tests.

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

    I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

    I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

    Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

    This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Hi magicmat,

    Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

    Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

    So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

  • Portege R100 and HDD upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Portege R100 and I want to upgrade the 40 GB HARD disk. What is the highest size that I could upgrade using Toshiba or not Toshiba HDD?
    There are 1.8 "SSD? What would be the best way to update?

    Thank you
    Romeo

    I have an old Portege 2000 and it's almost the same specifications your one, but my has been delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive. I've updated it with 60 GB and it works perfectly.
    I can understand your wishes on the HARD drive upgrade, but I recommend you to be a little more realistic and spend it is logical and understandable for this older model laptop.

    So I can confirm that 60 GB HARD drive will be working well. Maybe you can use the HARD disk with more capacity, but Toshiba is now your Portege with 40 GB max. What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask them if they have more experiences with the hardware upgrade on this laptop.

    To be honest, this laptop is not designed for multimedia stuff and in fact 60 GB HARD drive is quite enough for the installation of applications and for the registration of all the important things like maybe a few videos, photos and office documents.

    What you want to do with this laptop?

  • Satellite L30-134 - after HDD upgrade PC freezes and won't start

    Hello
    I upgraded my Satellite L30-134 of the standard 60 GB HDD for a new 120 GB. After that, I have the following problem:

    (1) after installing XP form to the recovery House DVDs works fine but after that 2-3 weeks of normal use it instantly freeze pc and after hard reboot the OP start up can do anything but to format the HARD drive. After that format cannot install original XP and Vista, the progress bar show me that the installation is complete but after reboot, nothing happens. This problem persists long wery. After 3-4 clean up one after another the pc starts and runs very well about 3 weeks. What is the problem? Any idea?

    (2) when I first install Vista or Linux PC is runing fine, but not in normal parameters. Always freeze but after hard reset works fine for about 2-3 days. When I install XP first that the PC is useles after hard reboot the only thing I can do is to format the HARD drive and do a clean install.

    PS: The HARD disk is produced Original Toshiba.

    Hello

    This strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like that, these problems are caused from the new HARD drive that may be defective.

    I think you should test the HDD using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive test.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    Good luck and give us feedback, what happened! :)

  • Need information about HDD upgrade on Equium A100-027

    HI people :-)

    Can I change the HARD disk drive in my Equium a100 027 for one with a speed of 7200 RPM?

    If not what is the largest size of HARD drive I can put in?

    It is also useful to do a lot to make a dual boot with Vista and XP or get one with Vista and the other drive with XP

    Someone can also point me in the direction of the place where to buy the right type of player with the correct connection... its SATA I think

    Thanks in advance for your help

    In my opinion, you can use the HARD drive with the speed of 7200 RPM. I put t really see no reason why this should not be possible!

    It is important that you buy a HARD drive with the interface supported and the size of the HARD drive.

    You are right; Equium A100 supports SATA HDD interface.
    You must not use SATA and IDE hard drives!

    According to some internet sites, the laptop came with 80 GB HARD drive.
    I presume that you should be able to upgrade the 120 GB HARD drive, but this is just a suggestion because Toshiba does not have any official information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A50 PSA50A - CPU, RAM, HDD upgrade question

    I wanted a laptop and my partner who is not real Smart PC (bless his heart) was released without my knowleadge and bought me a second hand laptop. That I really appreciate his kindness.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite model PSA50A - 7 k 047 number.
    I know a little PC, but not much I can change a hard drive and add memory and processor for a desktop computer but have little knowledge with laptops.

    This one has a hard disk of 40 GB and ram 240 and I guess is a Pentium 4.

    -What I want to know is how old is this model, and how much I can spend it.
    -What is the maximum memory, hard drive and it will take a Core duo.

    I've never had a Toshiba before but I heard that they are really good and reliable.

    Another issue is that I went into Device Manager and then system devices, and then the speakers, I found there was a driver that has not been installed. 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller - 24CC

    The reason why I ask is that I tried to plug in external speakers and they would not work, I couldn't find a speaker headphone and microphone port. I thought it's maybe because the driver above has not been installed. Anyone know where I could find and download the driver.

    When replying do not forget I am 50 years old and there are 5 years, I don't know even how to set up a browser, I taught myself everything I know now... I have 2 blogs and do a lot of marketing, but I'm not so good on the side of tech.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pauline

    Hi pauline28
    Goo gle is your best friend... ;-)

    I guess it is 4 or 5 years...

    I am only guessing, but the limitation of the ram upgrade should be 1024 MB depending on the operating system and chipset...
    Take a look at the job (it can be downloaded on the website of toshibas)

    all the drivers for this laptop can be downloaded from toshiba too.

    the upgrade of the 120 GB HDD can work but there is no guarantee, perhaps that you have updated the bios

    the upgrade of the central unit is the most foolish thing to do... why?
    OK the cpu that works in your laptop be cheap
    core-duo won't work in this chipset/socket... (not sure)

    but make sure that this device will do things like surf the internet ;-) not in water ;-)
    play the music, if the driver is installed
    and the hard drive with 40 GB of space will be sufficient, if you put all your cds top ;-)

    It may be a good idea to pay a specialist for this 20 minutes to check and install the proper drivers...

  • HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro A120-184 - SATA or PATA interface

    Hello

    I have a 120-184 (1 year) and want to know if there a SATA or PATA interface? I need to upgrade the hard drive, but here? m do not know what model to buy... To be honest I don't really know the difference!

    Sorry for stupid questions,
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hey Buddy

    You need a SATA HDD.
    The P - ATA is a technology more old which has been replaced by a new interface standard called SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).

    As I m wrong not the satellite Pro A120 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive.

    I think you should be able to use the 100 GB or maybe a 120 GB hard drives.
    More big disk HARD s could not be recognized by the BIOS correctly.

    In case you I would not try larger 120 GB HARD disk sizes.

    See you soon
