New HDD in my Dell INSPIRON N5010 laptop, will I go to 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM HARD drive

I bought the DELL N5010 laptop about 4 years back, and currently it is more under warranty.
2 days back my hard drive crashed and could not start or install the OS as there are bad sectors on the hard drive has. I plan to buy a new hard drive.

Which one should I go for a 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM. I would go to 7200 RPM, as it is faster, but I read on the internet that the 7200 RPM generates more heat then 5400 RPM and my laptop is already facing heating problem. I had replaced the fan about 2 months as my laptop used to close because of the heat. The problem of heating has not changed, but laptop does not stop :)

Anyone using the DELL N5010 laptop with a 7200 RPM HARD drive and he's fine?

Any kind of recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Sach

Thanks for the recommendation. The sales in the shop man also recommended the same thing. I bought Seagate 5200 SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drives) which is still better than the conventional hard drive. :)

Kind regards

  • 24GB flash acceleration Cache HDD & 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

    I am considering buying the ENVY 17 t-j100 TouchSmart Quad Edition.  Two custimization options are:

    24GB flash acceleration Cache hard drive

    1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

    As I understand it, these two use SSD to accelerate the performance of the hard disk.  I have a few questions:

    Is there a difference between the two?

    How many GB of SSD are on the drive hybrid?

    You can get both, or would they overlap?

    Thank you.

    Yes, there is a difference. The hybrid hard drive is home to the NAND Flash inside the car. Acceleration is made by the player himself. Hybrid hard drives are faster than a disk mechanical spinner, but the MSSD cache acceleration is faster. Faster is a full SSD. Cache Accelerator speed up startup and loading frequently used programs but doesn't do much for read/write sustained speeds. However, it makes the whole computing experience better. start time of 15 seconds and resume almost instantly from sleep, for example. The hybrid propulsion system is just a regular hard disk gradually faster. I would get the WSSD of 24 concert and you need not the hybrid car with her and I think that they only Pack the WSSD of 24 concert with a player standard spinner.

  • Dell inspiron N5010 stops when starting in 10-15 seconds

    I am facing some kind of problem with my Dell inspiron N5010 laptop. Whenever I take my laptop to some place let home College will stop start, when I turn on my laptop it starts but after that 10-15 seconds it stops, also when I try to keep the system in the bios it still stops within 10-15 seconds.

    Twist in the problem, is that if I keep my laptop idle for 20-30 minutes, it starts to work fine (I never remove battery or just left my laptop ram idle)

    Another thing is that I face ths portable computer wheonlyn problem is done by me in my backpack or you can tell when the laptop is subject to movment.

    I've noticed this trend seriously. For 15 days I did not move my laptop on my desk and it works like any normal laptop computer, but today when I took it to my place of friends, and when I tried to start it it starts and stops within 15 seconds while the startup I've done the same left witouth slowed even kidnapping ram or battery or charger for 10-15 minutes and then it starts to work very well.

    Why is this happening, it is there is a problem I have material or just a bad connection.

    Hello

    I have the same dell inspiron n5010, which stops immediately when turned on. doesn't even go beyond the DELL welcome screen! All my attempts to clean the fan/vents and reapply the thermal paste on cpu/gpu dint solve the problem, more than doubling the cpu/RAM/HDD. Also disconnect all mainboard modules like hard disk, dvd, wifi/Ethernet, sd cards and leaving naked force mainboard solves the problem. Conclusion; MOTHERBOARD IS DEAD! RIP

    Technicians will eat your money and some even miraculously make it work but the problem is still there and of course that the night will come back! REPLACE THE * BOARD OR GET NEW!

  • Problem with drivers WLan on Dell Inspiron N5010

    I recently bought Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop, however, there seems to be a small problem: impossible to get WLan drivers installed.

    I use Windows 7 (x 64 Edition). On the Device Manager under "Other devices" there is an unknown 'network controller '.

    Tried to install the drivers for Dell drivers & downloads section (Yes, I used my serial number), but there was a problem with the following:

    -R252544 for Dell Wireless WLAN 1520 half minicards. Result: "no compatible hardware found. The software you are trying to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed. "Half Mini Card

    -R247430 for link Intel (R) Intel WiMAX 6250. Result: "this software package cannot be installed on your system."

    -R252283 for Intel Intel(r) WiFi Link 6200 "no compatible hardware detected. The software you are trying to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed. »

    All these messages to appear just after you run the Setup program. Other drivers have been installed successfully and in good order.

    I assume you have three possibilities: -.

    (1) you can visit http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=in&l=en&s=gen and make the right choices...

    or

    (2) visit the support section of the material suppliers Web site (it's Broadcom Corp.)

    or, if even this does not solve your problem;

    (3) install software like Driver Genius Pro... that would solve all hardwre driver problems related with certainty at 100%.

    Hope I helped solve your problem...
