• 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

  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.

• 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,

  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!

• Optimal hard drive installation for 3D and animations CS6?

  Hello, I am trying to understand the best way to separate the following in different hard disks for better performance...

  -OS (probably Windows 7 or 8 64-bit)

  -Exchange page OS disc

  -Programs (Cinema4D and Adobe CS6)

  -Adobe Media/Disk Cache

  -Project files

  Source/import data files

  -Render/output data files

  So far, I think...

  -An internal SATA3 SSD for the OS, OS swap, programs, Adobe Media Cache

  -An internal SATA2 HDD for the project and Source/import data files

  -USB3 one external HARD drive to render/output files

  I wonder if separating the files of a different way would be more optimal, or if adding several SDD HDDs for the Page file and the Media Disk Cache would be us is worth the money. In particular, the OS, OS swap file, programs and media Cache must be divided into different readers?

  Here's what I recommend as a starting point for a good system.

  C: System (Windows programs)

  D: projects

  E: cache/Scratch/Previews

  F: media

  G: export

  Let alone the pagefile.  You won't see any advantage to move and could potentially ruin things if you do not set this right.

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  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 caddy for old Satellite Pro A10 need

  Hello

  I recently bought an old Pro of Satellite A10 but it doesn't have a hard drive or a caddy, anyone know if one of the other Toshiba Notebook Caddy is compatible with this model? I've been watching autour fleabay, but not a lot of Pro A10 caddy out there.

  Any help is very appreciated

  Kind regards
  Carl

  Until you find HDD caddy put the HARD drive in place and fix it a bit with aluminum foil, just to be sure it will not move during the use of laptop. Don t cover all HARD drive with just one make smallholders and attach the HARD drive in place.

  I did it on my old L300.

  Now, I am open to any suggestion that could be a bottleneck above, but my main question is about my setup of my hard drive:

  I have the following drives:

  2 x Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD

  2 x 1 TB WD Caviar Black HARD drive (7200 RPM)

  2 x 3 TB Seagate Barracuda HARD drive (7200 RPM)

  I'm looking for the best speed, performance and use of these readers cs6 Master Collection, with a special attention given to AE, Premiere Pro and Photoshop.

  (FYI: I'll backup all important files on a burning of final projects and external HHD comics)

  My plan inspired by suggestions on AF and elsewhere:

  1.) C: 1 x Samsung SSD: OS & programs

  2.) D: 1 x Samsung SSD: media Cache & Previews

  3.) x Seagate E: 1 3 to HARD drive for exports (should I buy another and raid it?)

  4.) F: 2 x WD 1TBs in Raid 0 for projects

  5.) G: 1 x Seagate 3 TB HHD for media (I would add buy another and raid it?)

  6))) < BONUS disc > I plan on running the tests to see how can I use the max RAM, and all that is not used, I am hoping to hear positive comments on make a virtual disk or a couple of them.   (I saw incredible reference points for them).  If it is recommended that could I use a virtual drive for {2 - Cache of media & Preview} or should I just use it for file exchange, cache and other temporary files? (or he renounce the total?)

  I know it's a trick question, and I'm open to other suggestions which could include buying ~ $300 in additional disks if it will increase enormously the speed and performance.

  Thank you all for reading, and I'm really looking forward to learning of your knowledge and your experience in this field!

  Mike,

  1. Check. Port SATA 6G. Add a static pagefile of 1 or 2 GB here.
  2. Check. Port SATA 6G.
  3. Check. 3G SATA port. No sense in this RAID and double the risk of data loss. Even a 25 GB export should only ± 3 minutes or less to write.
     • The time for export is spent on coding, not on writing. Why take the risk and spend money for a possible second 80-90 win on each export 25 GB? How many times do you do that?
  4. Check. SATA 6G Marvell ports. Make regular backups of your projects.
  5. Check. 3G SATA port. I would be very hesitant to raid0 from the original due to the risk of data loss.
     • X 79 platform is designed for dedicated raid controllers and RAID parity. If you need more speed, go in this direction.
  6. Forget about it. It is not practical. Windows does not start without a swap file, so it will always create a pagefile on C: dynamic if it can't find it. With 64 GB of memory the swap file will be used little or not at all. A static file of 1 GB is sufficient. Whenever you turn off your computer, the RAM disk gets erased and from the start should be newly created. This means that the cache of media must be newly created, indexing, compliant and creation of peakfiles must be made whenever you open a project. This time lost far outweighs the potential gain of a faster RAM drive.

• Should I replace my hard drive of my MacBook Pro?

  I'm trying to decide if I need to replace the hard drive of my MacBook Pro (mid 2009) with a new... or

  Buy a refurbished MacBook Pro?

  I'm afraid that if something is not Apple does not work on it because I have installed by a third party.  If I bought a refurbished Apple, they cover with the warranty...

  I can't afford a brand new...

  I have someone else would install so I do not need instructions...

  Any opinions?

  Thank you

  Artsytexan

  Replacing the drive does not cancel any warranty... you got the instructions with your system to replace the RAM and HD.  The only thing the Genius Bar should do is charge you for repairing the damage you cause change RAM and HD.  But... I changed the two enough times to know that it takes every inch to do this.

  iFixit.com has instructions for changing the RAM and HD.  Or an Apple authorized qualified service center.

  OWC (macsales.com) door RAM and SSD (more expensive, faster) and HDs (less expensive, slower) that can stabilize your system.  HD + RAM would be about $200, add in $100 extra for disk backup and external fixation for the reader.  You can do it.

• How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

  Original title: window 7

  Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
