I need a hard drive replacement for my XPS 400

I just had a second hard drive in my XPS 400 fail in the two-year package. Fortunately, it was a pair of RAID 1.  Its a model ST3160828AS and is no longer available from Dell.  Is question No. 1, there a better replacement?  Question 2, if I replace it with a different model, should I replace both hard drives RAID 1?

  • Need my HARD drive replaced?

    This morning I dropped accidentally my cell phone while walking to work. It was in her purse for cooshin contributed to the fall, but it is a tooth on one of the corners of the outer envelope. Me to be as paranoid as I am with my computers, I immediately checked on this subject. The operating system starts fine but when I played a video in VLC as a test program is not responding and crashed. Then, I started in the bios menu and ran a few tests. Audit of recovered memory was okay but when I ran the primary hard disk check thing it froze on the quick test and I choukdnt do something else that turn off the laptop.

    Is that what I can do to check what/where is the problem? CPC, motherboard, hard drive?
    I would rather avoid to replace the hard drive again, but if I have its not that big a deal.

    I recently had a hardrive external dip one Swan on my desk, I literally felt sick to my stomach

    so, I feel your pain.

    you need to listen to your hard drive, if that seems different or

  • Hard drive replacement for Satellite M30 604

    Problems with my hard drive and wanting to change it. Think original was an IC25N060ATMR04-0, what appears to be a Hitachi 4200 RPM 60 GB UDMA hard drive with an 8 Meg buffer. Can I replace it with a bigger, faster disk? If yes should which technique I have? Grateful for any ideas!

    Hello

    So, just be sure to install a disk IDE and not SATA. The rest is obsolete since you don t have to take care for all care such as speed or the cache. Just take the most large drive you can download and install it.

    That's all. In the case of any questions do your thougts throw in this forum here ;)

  • What is the maximum capacity of the hard drive replacement for L702x xps17

    I have a Dell xps17 702 x with service NOTE from the ADMINtag: maintain the label removed according to the rules of confidentiality > and get warnings from the race. More disk space. I had hoped 2x500GB tthat would be enough, but photos and your music take up much space.

    What is the largest capacity of hard drives that I can put in my laptop? I would also change the boot disk for one SSD.  I looked on the Dell site for my service tag, and it offers only 640GB HDD 500 GB SSD, which is not sufficient. I can't find anything that tells me if there is a theoretical maximum capacity.  For example, I could put a 2 TB drive in?

    Fits all current portable players that will be physically the system will work - to the 2 t the only drive that will fit is the Seagate/Samsung Spinpoint M9T.  It's the 2 only 9.5 mm t there.  All other readers 2 t (and especially more than 1 t) is 12.5 mm or more large drives that will not fit in the system.

  • Need help: HARD drive not recognized in XPS 8500

    Hello

    I have a special edition of XP Dell 8500 which worked perfectly until this morning, when the hard drive is no longer recognized.  When the computer is resumed mode standby, the computer froze and after rebooting the main hard drive is more visible to the system at all.  DSS and DVD discs are recognized, but the HARD drive is not.  It's all original parts factory with Windows 7, and nothing in the computer has changed between yesterday and today.

    I am looking for help on solving this problem.

    I tried to change the power supply and the motherboard to hard drive with well-known cables, changing the setting from BIOS of RAID and AHCI, but nothing works.

    Start with a DVD of Windows 7 does not detect the HARD drive at all. Run the diagnostics Dell system via F12 at startup can't find any errors - but also, he does not see the whole HARD disk.

    Thanks in advance for any helpful ideas.

    You have done all your possible - the drive is toast and needs to be replaced.

  • Need new hard drive for my Satellite L755D

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L755d-14 x (part No. PSK36E-057006N5)
    Which hard drive (internal) should / can buy?

    Now when you need new HARD drive I recommend to update with SSD. SSDS are very fast and with the help of SSD you will have much better laptop performance.
    What you need is SSD with SATA interface.

    David info on SSD available at your dealer.

  • Get the hard drive just for my laptop DM1

    Hi, I need to buy a replacement for the hard drive to my laptop 4341sa DM1. On the system, I found the model like a Hitachi HTS543232A7A384 number. I looked on http://www.shopmania.co.uk/hard-drives/p-hitachi-hts543232a7a384-41617984 and I'm wrong in thinking for a up there would be a suitable replacement, or is there something escapes me in how to buy and replace a hard drive? I changed only ever desktop hard drives before, much easier!

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

  • I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.
