• HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

  Hi kiranmanju

  After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

  SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

  There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
  (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
  (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
  (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

  Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

  but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

  Thank you

• Pavilion DV6-1333sa hard drive upgrade.

  I want to spend 320 GB sata hard drive 7200 rpm on my pavillion DV6-1333sa.

  I would like to replace it with a hard disk of 1 TB sata 7200 RPM.

  I was looking around and I was wondering what drives would be compatible.

  I noticed that there are versions of 2.5 and 3.5 inches and there are also SATA II and SATA III.

  This Seagate hard drive is the one I was considering. (google for more information)

  Seagate 1 TB 3.5 inch 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache hard drive SATA3

  I found it at a very reasonable price, but I was wondering if it would be compatible and how it would be to transfer my entire system on it and install it.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You must use the computer portable HARD drive which is 2.5 ". The 3.5 "HARD drive you mentioned above does not physically. HARD drives for laptops are more expensive than HARD drives for desktop computers. You can use something like one of the following:

  They are SATA III but will be compatible with SATA II.

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

• Satellite A40-151 Possible HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

  RPM
  buffer
  Number of PINS
  Type of the ATA

  I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

  Concerning

  Lee

  Hello

  I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

  If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

  Good luck!

• HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

  HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

  I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

  Thank you

  The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

  Data sheet

  6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

  Manual

  Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

• I'll do a clean install on a blank hard drive upgrade but want to keep my Firefox settings - what is the best way to do this?

  I'll do an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. I will be installing Windows 7 on a new empty hard drive. I want to keep my bookmarks Firefox and Ad Ons. What is the best way to do it. Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.

  Learn you more about the Firefox profile folder, how to backup and restore, here.

  I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at in another option for you.

• Tecra Z40 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HARD drive. As a replacement, I bought the next SSD:

  Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB

  Unfortunately I don't have to work. On the BIOS, I see that the system recognizes the ssd. But the boots of system restore, or windows 8.1 detail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?

  Problems persist if the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.

  I have upgraded to the latest version of the bios to 3.7, but that did not change the result.

  If the BIOS recognizes the new SSD drive, the drive must be visible to the system.
  May I ask how did you try to install the OS Windows 8.1?
  Have what media you used?

  The Z40 Tecra can't internal ODD (optical disc). This is why I m wondering about the installation procedure

  I am looking for a part for this replacement hard drive number.
  Can as someone tell me where I can buy this in the United Kingdom. Retail store would be useful. If this is not the case, a mailing address would be appreciated.
  I saw one of OFFTEK Â £43.0 Plus VAT, part number: KTT3311/1 GB.

  Then I saw the same part number for Toshiba and it costs more than £100.
  Maybe someone can tell me where I could get the Leicester close to upgrade.

• Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

  I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

  (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

  I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

  While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

  10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

  I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

  I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

  I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

  Can you help me?

  Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

  I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

  If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

  Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

  That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A120-128 - HARD drive upgrade

  I'm seriously exhausted on HARD disk space and want to upgrade my HARD drive in my Satellite Pro A120 128. Is there a maximum size that I can update? This model takes SATA or IDE?
  Any suggestions on make & model disk HARD upgrade to?

  THX!

  Normally it should not be a problem to use a HARD drive this lager s like 137 GB because as much as I know there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface.
  But as said Akuma, test it before buying this drive.

  However, an IDE HDD does not fit in this notebook

  Hello

  Satellite or Equium P200D series was equipped with SATA HDD.
  This means that mobile supports the SATA HDD controller, which means that we must avoid any physical limitation.

  Usually, you can use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA
  But I think that 320 HARD drive should be good enough
  What do you think?
