Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

Hello

The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

Thank you in advance,

Andrejs

Hi Andrew

> The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB
TOSHIBA HDD2188B-> 80 GB
HITACHI G8C0000Z610-> 60 GB
HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB
TOSHIBA HDD2183-> 60 GB
TOSHIBA HDD2184-> 60 GB

I hope this might help you a little!

Best regards

  • 160 GB hard drive update for Satellite Pro M70 - 220

    I want to upgrade my satellite Pro M70-220 portable HARD drive the current 60 GB HDD to a 160 GB HARD drive and you drive would be grateful if someone could provide information on the standard/type of HARD drive I should like being looking for and, if possible, specific manufacturer's recommendations and the model number of an appropriate 160 GB of disk HARD.

    Thank you

    AlanCB

    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.

  • HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

    Thnx

    Hello

    Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
    I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
    It should work.
    But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

    However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

  • HARD drive activity on satellite Pro M30-114

    Hello

    The HDD on my M30-114 SatPro stops and restarts in normal operation. For example, when typing in Word the HARD drive stops (either disk HARD turn sound, light flashing) for about 30-45 seconds every 5 other minutes. It restarts itself or if I do something that requires the HARD drive activity (as by saving the document I was working on). The system DOESN'T freeze, I can continue my work and there is no other obvious problems. But I know this isn't normal.
    I don't know but that m might have started after I've updated the Bios to the latest version provided by Toshiba.
    Any ideas, suggestions, similar experiences?

    Andrei

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know, that there is a current normal HARD drive.
    This also happens on my unit. It s not not some kind of hardware malfunction or OS.
    The use of many applications e.g. Word starts sometimes HARD drive activities. It of a just done.
    Don t worry, enjoy your computer laptop nice ;)

  • Optimal hard drive configuration for first Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

    I am in the process of upgrading a workstation is used mainly for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools using the Adobe CS5 products following production of promotional videos in HDV (AVCHD for the web) as well as printouts of documents of marketing for groups and musicians: Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Soundbooth.

    Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application in the group, I studied the hardware configurations suggested on this forum with great interest, in particular the suggestions of PREJUDICE (including its generic guidance for the installation disc) to determine what drives in order to buy and the best way to configure them.

    I'm upgrading to a HP Z800 with 2.44 GhZ processors dual quad core with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and a GeForce GTX 470 overclockee.  Without the implementation of a RAID configuration (which I can't afford right now), I would use 4 bays for HARD drives available in the Z800 in the optimal way for the Premier Pro, using currently available drives.  Currently, I plan to buy a 300 GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the time of extended loading and demands placed on the disc of ProTools and plug-ins Waves associated.

    I would appreciate your suggestions to improve my next plan: C (300 GB WD VelociRaptor) for the operating system and programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) media and projects; E (1 250 GB WD Caviar Black) for the swap file (approx. 18 GB) and media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Caviar Black) for Pro Tools, exports, and previews of audio files.

    I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and look forward to your suggestions.

    / Bill

    Bill,

    If the live band shots involve a lot of multi-camera editing, I suggest a raid0, otherwise, if the Assembly is a single camera only, I would use separate disks, one for the media and for exports. The risk of losing all the data in a raid0 configuration would not bother, because the intensive part of the disc reads media / FLV writes. It will not be a significant difference in performance between playback of a disc and writing to each other compared to R/W in a raid0.

    LAN installation is very easy.
    First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
    In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

    Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
    Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

  • Need info on the type of hard drive inside USB 1282E device - 1 12

    Hello

    I want to know what type of hard drive interface inside this external USB (ATA/IDE) device and which hard drive is hidden inside.

    Thank you
    Volker

    Hello Volker

    I wonder just who should have this info. This info is probably available in some non-public documents. You have this HARD drive?

    To be honest this number doesn't help much. Did you check in Google? No results at all.
    Are you sure the description of the HARD drive?

  • Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
    I discovered the net without success.

    A diagram with being usefully etc.

    kind regards J

    Hello

    I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

    When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

    Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

    But if you still have some questions then request.

  • Size of hard drive bay for Thinkpad Edge E430? and vs SATA 300 600

    I'm looking to get a bigger hard drive for my Thinkpad Edge E430, and I have two questions.

    The current drive is a Toshiba MK5061GSY - SATA 300. This is 0.4 inches high. I'm looking at a WD Green WD20NPVX - SATA 600. It is high 0.6inches.

    1. What size is the HARD drive Bay? Fits in a drive that is 0.6 inches in height?
    2. A disk SATA 600 is backward compatible with SATA-300 port?

    Thank you.

    Ivy Bridge CPU in the E430 supports SATAIII (6 Gb/s) for the main hard drive and the optical drive Bay.

    The height of the E430 hard drive Bay suitable for 7 and 9.5 mm (do not know what this amounts to in inches).

  • Update hard drive to the Satellite Pro L300

    Have a Satellite Pro L300 with a 120 GB hard drive, running Vista Home, the reader is divided 50-50 and does'nt Vista as to move the partition (Partition Magic does not work)...

    So would like to change to a larger HD... Q / I can do this, and how hard is it? even with the recovery of files on the Partition and if I bought the Toshiba recovery disks, gruff, when the player is changed discs would not reconise the largest disk that I discovered in the past using Norton Ghost.

    Upgrading the hard drive doesn't have to be the problem.
    HARD drive is placed in the lower corner under the HARD drive cover. HARD drive cover is fixed by two screws. Remove the screw, then the HARD drive cover. Please do it gently. After having this deletion drive by pulling on the tab kit attached to the pack, following the direction of the arrows.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need SATA HDD and it can be upgraded up to 500 GB.
    After upgrade the disk HARD use recovery DVD for installation of operating system.

    Any other questions? ;)

  • 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 ;)
