New HDD for T420

I'm running on borrowed here time. HD is a failure and I do research quickly a new bucket.

According to the website of Lenovo, This 500 GB Seagate is the recommended replacement.

The dimensions of this disc are:

7.2 x 6.2 x 3.5 inches (from the Amazon for the same product page)

However, it is present in the machine unit now.

2.8 x 4 x 0.4 in

You can see that they are quite different in size with the new being quite a bit bigger by Amazon.

I wonder if I'll be able to hold the largest disk in the hard drive of my T420 Bay? How can I be sure before ordering?

I've never had to replace a hard drive in a laptop so just wanted OT check that before I take the word of sites Web: Lenovo's for her.

In addition, other advice, I should have when embarking on this hardware replacement would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

You can use * a * computer laptop SATA hard drive format 2.5 "/ 9.5 mm."

If I were you, I switch to SSD now and call it a day.

This player on Amazon is a scam of the IMO. You can do a lot better if you really want to stay with a spinning disc.

Good shopping.

    You can buy new HARD drive in every store of the computer. What you need is 2.5 "SATA HDD.
    In my opinion you should now reflect on the upgrade and buy SSD that will offer more performance and make your laptop run much faster than before.

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

    Hello

    I'm 99.9% sure that you can use this disk, but in my opinion you should spend it with HARD drive with more capacity. I think 200 or even 250 GB should work just fine with your laptop satellite.

    I know that European Satellite A200 is supported up to 250 GB HDD.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite L300-1BD

    Hey,.

    my laptop Toshiba Satellite HARD drive no longer works.
    So I'm going to buy a new one today, but what one do need me? As the number of inches? And what is a SATA connection or something?

    Could someone please tell me what I watch when I buy a new HARD drive for this laptop

    Hello Vivendi

    One thing is strange for me: I guess your laptop L300 is fairly new and I do not understand why you want to buy a new HARD drive. Warranty is still valid?

    Please check. If the warranty is still valid contact nearest authorized maintainer, and I am sure that you will get replacement free of charge.

    If you want to buy it too, I assume you want to replace one. Then, remove the old HDD and on the white label, you will find all the necessary information on the HARD drive.
    In any case, it takes 2.5 SATA HDD.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite A110-178

    Hello people,

    Anyone know where I can order/buy a new internal hard drive for my laptop cause my hard drive died.

    Greetz

    Hi friend

    of course, the internet offers a wide range of hard disk drives. You have to do is check google and type something like "2.5 inches HDD SATA" or «SATA HDD laptop»

    For some reason, you can check for example ebay and search there for SATA hard drive, which is integrated in laptops (the height of the car shouldn´t be more than 9.5 mm).
    It s just important that you're looking for SATA and IDE not. Any other topic doesn´t. Oh, I'm not sure what the maximum size of HDD machine can take, toshiba says something about 120GB, but you will have to prove by yourself if the machine may take longer.

  • New HDD for Dim 9200

    After 6 years faithful my 250 GB HARD drive makes weird noises. Before take a complete dump, I want to install a new one. I have a bigger, only comparable HARD disk. Not sure if there is always a 250 GB there. What is the correct procedure to install a new drive HARD boot-able with Dell reinstall WinXP pro sp2 disk. I read somewhere that the new HARD disk must be the same size, cache etc. I don't want to purchase a full retail version of XP, it is a spare office that I still use.

    Dimension 9200 E6600 2.4 GHz 4 GB DDR2 sdram @ 533 MHZ 4x1Go
    250 GB SATA II Samsung spinpoint drive HARD 8 MB cache 7200 RPM
    Win XP Pro 32 bit OEM Dell

    If you have the labeled Dell reinstall Windows XP Pro drive, you already have the full version of this OS and it is not necessary to buy a new.  Dell has a page of links that guide you toward the restoration of your operating system here: Restoring or reinstalling Windows on a Dell computer.  You must use the fourth step, manual reinstallation, for a blank hard drive.  For a lot of additional information, you can also check the paper by forum member natakuc4, install clean windows.

    Restore a computer from scratch is a good thing for me, but it requires two to six hours to complete, depending on the number of requests and the amount of data, you need to restore.  Account, you may want to consider an application that allows you to clone your current drive to a new one.  Acronis True Image is one of those programs that must be purchased.  Depending on the brand of HDD, you buy, you may be able to download a free version of that or a similar, program.  Seagate and Western Digital have also a free version.  I am not sure about the features of the free version, but I know from experience that the commercial version of Acronis can adapt the present partition on your current hard drive to a larger partition on a new hard drive.  Cloning a disk usually requires less than 30 minutes, and the only thing you have to watch is to delete your old disk of the computer before you start the player cloned for the first time.  It avoids confusion on the drive letter assignment.  If you have a card reader, you must also disconnect it or turn it off in the configuration of the system before page starting in the new disk.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite A10

    Hello.

    As my A10 satellite hard drive had a lot of problems lately, I bought a new drive. However, when I turn on the labtop, it freezes just on the screen "select boot device". I'm not still able to enter the BIOS. I can hear the disc upward rotation, but there is no reading of it.

    The old drive was a 4200 RPM, 2 ATA-100 MB disk Toshiba while the new is a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 with 5400 RPM / MN and 8 MB cache. Anyone aware of the A10 is having problems with the new disks, or someone has a suggestion for what I should try?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    Have you tried to install the OS on the new HARD drive?

    I think that the laptop does not freeze, but the BIOS can not find a boot device.
    You must insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and must try to boot from this CD.
    If you cannot select the STRANGE as boot device in the BIOS you could simply press the C button immediately after you start the laptop.
    This option allows booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  • Need new HDD for my Satellite A200 - 19L

    Hello

    I want to buy a new hard drive from Western Digital, but I don't know which is compatible with my laptop?

    My laptop is
    Toshiba Satellite A200 - 19L
    Model No.: PSAESE-00H003AR

    Thank you

    Hello!

    The new HARD disk must have a SATA port and a 2.5 HARD disk. Each HARD drive with these specifications should work in your laptop.

    As Feliks, visit the Western Digital site for models. I think you would find a HARD drive you want.
    I have good experiences with Western Digital and Seagate.

    Good bye

    Thank you and sorry for my English

    Hello

    As far as I know, the machine was delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive.
    After a long search I found a 100 GB HARD disk for this device.
    I think that there is a maximum size.
    Check this box:

    Also it is not very difficult to replace the HARD drive. On the site from the bottom of the laptop, you can find the cover of the HARD drive. You must remove it. As far as I know it s a single screw. Then you can remove safe HDD form Bay.

    1. Yes, AFAIK to restore it without problem. You can make a recovery of the HP DVD bootable USB key, simply copy the files will not make the USB bootable, it needs to be. You can buy a usb DVD drive to use the HP DVD recovery

    2. Yes, as long as you have a W7 product key. I recommend the upgrade, these are W7 drivers
