• 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

  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.

• The upgrade of Inspiron 9300 Hard Drive not recognized

  I bought an upgrade of my Inspiron 9300 laptop hard drive:

  Old hard drive: TG754 Hard Drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, 7.2 K Hitachi, Moraga, unleaded

  New hard drive: 250 GB SATA 3 Gb s hard drive 16 MB 7200 RPM 2.5 IN. w o free fall Scorpio black

  TG754

  Hard drive, 60G, 9.5 MM, Hitachi 7.2 K, Moraga, unleaded

  I don't know I installed it correct (just slide in and screw it) but my problem is that my laptop does not recognize the new drive.  When starting it complains that no hard drive is, and when I boot my Windows XP it also said that no hard drive is located.

  I followed the upgrade recommended Dell so I do not know why it does not work.  I read that the SATA drives require additional drivers, but I'm sure that my old drive was already a SATA drive, so I don't understand why he is not recognized.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  The 9300 has been performed in two versions - the vast majority were EIDE.  The last execution of production used SATA.  Yours is EIDE.

  Readers are physically the same size and made the same carrier - but does not connect the SATA version to the motherboard (check the back both discs and you'll see why).

  The EIDE version has a limit of 120G BIOS - it means not that you can not use this drive of 160 G, but the results can be unpredictable, sudden loss of all data.  Keep backups if you try a 160 - it is much safer to use a 120G.

  No, a 5400 all else equal will be slower than a 7200 - but you don't have a choice, because all manufacturers have stopped making 7200 RPM EIDE (PATA) computer laptop some time ago.

• Inspiron 620 Hard Drive stuck in the cage

  I am upgrading an Inspiron 620-10 Windows.  I choose to do the upgrade on a new hard drive to preserve the original as a backup hard drive.  When I tried to remove the hard drive from its Assembly following the instructions (remove two screws and pull) I couldn't get out of the cage.  Something seems firmly hold the hard drive cage.  I removed the two screws to mount the material on the hard disk without success.  Currently I plan to install the new hard drive in the Tower, leaving the old unpowered hard drive but I would remove it to place it in an external USB enclosure.

  Any ideas as to what could be lock the hard drive in the case would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Its a super good nest.  What you do is get a pair of pliers and squeeze the ears of the inside of the rails and it will slide out as if nothing was ever wrong. (I'm assuming that you have removed the TWO screws before attempting to bend the ears) Using two hands and standing on the case and pulling the habit out.  I considered breaking the reader with a sled, but decided against it.

  

• Hard Drive upgrade - what is the best software to transfer information

  I don't know how to transfer files and folders, no problem, but I want to upgrade my hard drive but don't want to lose my settings or programs.  I don't want to start over.  I had success in the past with some programs when switching from an old computer to a new, but it will not work on the upgrade.  Anyone know of a program that will allow me to put an external information, install the new hard drive and install XP, then copy the original information and programs.  The challenge for programs to work properly.

  It's on an Inspiron 8600 running XP Pro.

• 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.

  I found the site very useful.

• 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

  Hello

  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
