HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M70

• HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

  Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

  The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

  PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
  PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

  You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

  All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
  Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

  I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
  Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB
  Number of discs: 2
  Number of Heads: 4

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  The P - ATA is a technology more old which has been replaced by a new interface standard called SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).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

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  I want to exchange the hard drive of my Satellite Pro M10. Can someone tell me what drives can I use? On ebay, I found a disk HARD 160 GB fot this model, but in the manual they talked only about 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.

  Thanks for any help!

  Your old laptop IDE interface for the connection of HARD drive, so I think you can use max 120 GB HARD drive.
  It should be enough for this oldie? Do you agree with me?

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10 - problem with the IDE connector

  Hope someone can help me here.

  I'm trying to adapt a 80 GB HDD to the M10 and I managed to get the Hong Kong HDD caddy, but no matter where I turn, I can not find the right IDE connector.
  If anyone can give me a link to a vendor, I'd be really grateful. I had this project will for about 4 months now and she crawled to a halt.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that this Assembly to support Toshiba HDD (hard drive) (number P000370340) must be compatible for the HARD drive.

  In addition, I think you need something like this:

  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.

• The upgrade chart/processor Intel on Satellite Pro M70

  OK, let's go with my first assignment. I bought a Satellite Pro M70, a year ago. It has a graphics chip (intel gtl 950?), I just would like to know, if it is possible to install a graphics card, ati or nvidia.

  Furthermore, is it possible to upgrade the processor? and what about warranty if the upgrade and installation of all this?

  Here, I'm going with my first reply you ;)

  No, it is not possible to s. The technology of the laptop is different as desktop computers and therefore you will not be able to update the graphics card.

• Upgrade Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  I have the disc Step By Step Business Express Upgrade DVD-ROM and updated and intend to install it on my Satellite Pro M70. The M70 is not among the list of computers.
  Where should I go from here?

  Ian

  Hello

  I m bit confused.
  What do you mean bythe M70 is not among the list of computers?

  You can perform the installation of Vista Express Upgrade or you can just install from the original CD of Microsoft Vista.
  This should be no problem! All Toshiba Vista need drivers and tools are published on the page of the Toshiba driver and all internal portable devices should be recognized as well.

  If you missed something or what?

• Anyone using Win2k on a Satellite Pro M70 or drivers will be used?

  Hello
  I just bought an M70. Needless to say that it comes with Windows XP.

  The software that I use on my project specifically requires Win2k and a 1 GB of RAM.

  I would like to know if
  1. anyone who has tried to install Win2k on M70 and if so, of the problems they might have faced.
  2. I'm looking desperately for the M70 Win2K drivers. Can someone help me with where I can find them?

  Finally, if M70 is not the right book for me, anyone knows another piece which has 1 GB RAM / 100GB HDD combination and supports Win2k as a BONE.

  Appreciate the answers of all the experts.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, the fact is that this laptop only comes with the WinXP.
  I also checked the Toshiba site and there is no drivers for W2k.
  If you also use the W2k on your laptop, you can try to install it on the second partition and use it as a dual OS notebook. But you will not be able to use special Toshiba and utility tools.

  There are many models of Satellite Pro M70, but generally, it should be possible to upgrade the memory for max 2024 MB. In this case there is no problem with the upgrade.

• Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

  I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

  And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

  What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

  It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
  I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

  By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

• Expanded for Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E memory

  I need memory paged to my Lotus Symphony programs.
  But it does not work in this PSM75E-009005DU Toshiba Satellite Satellite Pro M70 with Windows XP.
  On my desktop with XP, it works... I can set it up in preferences shortcut on the screen.

  If you want to upgrade the memory?

  As far as I know, Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E was equipped with different processors and chipsets for upgrade memory can depends on model that you bought

  But I think you could increase the RAM up to 2 GB of RAM.
  You can use the modules of 533 Mhz 200pin 2 x 1 GB of RAM.
