Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

Thank you very much!

Hello.

On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

«the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

See you soon!

  • What HARD drive I can use in Satellite U300 (issue of SATA)

    I have 4 years Toshiba U300. Recently, the hard drive (200 GB 5400 RPM) broked down.
    I want to replace but I don't know that can use any SATA II HARD drive, or I have to use the HDD with SATA I?
    On some forums, I found two users that puted new HARD drive in the old laptop and they complained that the speed of OS boot was hopeless.

    So the question is what HARD drive should I buy for this laptop?
    (I prefer capacity 320 or 500 GB)

    Hello

    SATA controller is downward compatible, you can use SATA I or SATA II HDD.
    It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD. The size is not very important for 500 GB configuration issues should be ok too.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

    I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

    And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

    What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

    It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
    I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

    By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Satellite L300 supports SATA HDD!
    SATA controller having no physical limit, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA. So, for example, a 500 GB 2.5 SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive should be compatible.

    Hello

    I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
    If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

    With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

    Yes, absolutely. Stick with 2.5 inches wide, 9.5 or 7 mm thickness SATA hdd or SSD. 7 mms are leaner, but the mounting holes are in the same place and the SATA data connector and the power supply is in the same place. You cannot use a 9.5 where only a 7mm is used as on Ultrabooks ultraslim, but a 7mm will replace a 9.5 mm. 7mm fits into the caddy and connectors will still work the drive but does not fill the carriage upwards. Yours is a chunky fellow that originally had a 9.5 mm drive. Sometimes you see disks of 2.5 inches wide from 12mm for blades and those who are not fit.

    If it's in the budget, get an SSD. I'm kinda an envangelist SSD, but you will be too once you have used a.

    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  • If my hard drive is replaced

    Does this mean I don't have the ability to record sounds on my computer without an external mic and also means that my video card has been compramised? Because when I save on my webcam that is not ringing and when I try to record only a sound he does more. I also used to be able to used windows movie maker and windows DVD Creator. I can no longer uses because it says something about the video card.

    If your hard drive is replaced, and the computer restored/retrieved from reputable, responsible (s) tech, it should work in all directions, as expected. However, if there are problems with the hardware or software in addition to or apart from the problem with HD, this problem or these problems will have to be diagnosed and fixed as well.
