• What HARD drive can I install the Satellite Pro 2100?

  I installed a second hand Toshiba 40 GB HDD in my Pro 2100, but he fails to recognize in the BIOS. Any ideas?

  Yes, I have an idea ;)
  Have you checked if the HARD disk is not corrupted?
  I think it's a first step to find out what's wrong.

  If you are sure that the drive is 100% damage not so in my opinion him BIOS is unable to manage the size of the HARD drive. It s just too big size.
  The BIOS supports multiple disk sizes but if HARD drive it too big the BIOS may not be able to recognize the HARD drive.

• 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.

• Satellite 5200-802 - what HARD drive can I use?

  Hello

  I have a 5200-802 Satellite with a 80 GB HDD (IDE) and I would build in more.

  I would like to know what is the largest room, which will be accepted by this laptop. Is it 100 GB or 120 GB, 160 GB or 250 GB or 400GO or?
  Who manufactures?

  Everyone knows?

  Thanks in advance
  Jürgen

  What do you think is the biggest HARD drive you can use?
  I think that this question can be easily answered: it s a HARD drive to 120 GB because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits in the IDE. If you want to know more about this please consult this website: http://www.48bitlba.com

  If you need a 120 GB 2.5 HARD drive and you can buy each production. I have good experiences with Seagate and Hitachi.

• What HARD drive can I use Satellite A60-125

  Hello!
  I would like to know what type of hard drive I can install on my satellite A60 (Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz) to upgrade the original Hitachi 40 GB. Can I install a 160/200 GB 2.5 "of any type (brand, RPM, capacity,...) or there are some limitations of the bios? Thank you.

  Hello Ric

  There is unfortunately no public on this matter document because Toshiba does not support upgrade. Toshiba gives some info on built in hardware and also on the RAM max that can be used. Upgrade takes care of disk HARD authorized partner in your country, and they have exact information on this subject.

  Yes I think there is limitation in the BIOS, but I'm sure that you can use up to 100 GB HARD drive, maybe more, but as I said it is not easy to find info on any official page of Toshiba.

  If you are lucky someone will post here the news of A60 laptop upgrade. Until then try to contact find some information online. Google all over the place.

• 251z: a 2nd hard drive can be installed in HP 251z?

  I'm considering buying another PC at low prices. Is there a way I can add a second hard drive in the case of HP 251z?  Thank you.

  @old_geekster,

  with your reference to the 251z, I was able to get a product # 251-a110z to the CTO.

  Open the case, you will find only TWO Sata data headers, so your not add anything.  As well as on the chip, and with just a mini x0.5 slot PCIe, your limited graphics.  The processor is only 1.4 Ghz.  It is an electronic internet/mail database machine.

• What HARD drive I can use in Satellite U300 (issue of SATA)

  I have 4 years Toshiba U300. Recently, the hard drive (200 GB 5400 RPM) broked down.
  I want to replace but I don't know that can use any SATA II HARD drive, or I have to use the HDD with SATA I?
  On some forums, I found two users that puted new HARD drive in the old laptop and they complained that the speed of OS boot was hopeless.

  So the question is what HARD drive should I buy for this laptop?
  (I prefer capacity 320 or 500 GB)

  Hello

  SATA controller is downward compatible, you can use SATA I or SATA II HDD.
  It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD. The size is not very important for 500 GB configuration issues should be ok too.

  Hello

  I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
  If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

  Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

  With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

  Dennis Norlin

  Hello

  As I m wrong not the laptop does support IDE and NOT SATA controller.
  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, then you need to use an IDE HDD!

  I recommend to use max 120 GB HDD, because it might be possible that larger size of HARD drive will not be recognized by the BIOS.

• What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP?

  My HARD drive is somehow broken :( What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP so that I can something eBay?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Satellite L300 supports SATA HDD!
  SATA controller having no physical limit, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA. So, for example, a 500 GB 2.5 SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive should be compatible.

• EliteBook8540w: upgrade HDD on an EliteBook8540w - what HARD drive adapt?

  HARD drive:

  The HARD drive I have now is this.

  I assumed that the height of the HARD drive is key here, so not so many restrictions on the HARD drive, is that OK? I could get an SSD as well as long as the height is very well, just?

  Thank you for your help.

  Best regards

  Yes, absolutely. Stick with 2.5 inches wide, 9.5 or 7 mm thickness SATA hdd or SSD. 7 mms are leaner, but the mounting holes are in the same place and the SATA data connector and the power supply is in the same place. You cannot use a 9.5 where only a 7mm is used as on Ultrabooks ultraslim, but a 7mm will replace a 9.5 mm. 7mm fits into the caddy and connectors will still work the drive but does not fill the carriage upwards. Yours is a chunky fellow that originally had a 9.5 mm drive. Sometimes you see disks of 2.5 inches wide from 12mm for blades and those who are not fit.

  If it's in the budget, get an SSD. I'm kinda an envangelist SSD, but you will be too once you have used a.

• Change HARD drive can always use recovery disk to reinstall Windows?

  I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

  Hello

  Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

  Kind regards

  Can I use all 500 GB on a hard drive, I have install windows 7 and it only uses I think 466 around this amount, why is - this

  Hello Edtannjr,

  Thank you for your message.  Remember that the operating system itself takes place and many OEM systems contains a recovery partition which can take up to a space as well.
  See you soon
