Pavillion zd7000 hard drive

I did a digital recording on my zd7000 and it has a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM.  I'm looking for options to upgrade the hard disk at 7200 at least but I understand that these are disks IDE / ATA.  If a couple of questions...

  1. Can I buy just a stop disk 7200 RPM of the platter, then plug it in?
  2. If I can't upgrade the internal hard drive can I use an external drive fireware at 7200 rpm or 10,000.  This would effectively increase the transfer rate?
  3. I didn't think of other options?

Thanks in advance...

Thank you very much for your answer.  You hit the questions on and yes I have considered upgrading the laptop, widely enough.  If I there are some very specific things, I need and the price is more in the range of $1,000-$ 1,500.  The other 'hidden' question is that if I upgrade, I'd probably architecture 64-bit and that would cause a domino effect in the upgrade of some hardware, software and drivers...

The Pavillion zd7000, not to mention that some of its shortcomings has been a phenomenal laptop.  What keeps me with him is a dual proc to 2.66 Mhz, many laptops are at the same level, although I know that all increases in bus, memory and hard drive are starting to push me towards an upgrade.  The only issues I had were the video card (which was replaced by HP) and the amount of heat that this puppy goes out...  So if I can squeeze another year out of it for another $100, I'd be happy...

Thanks again for your information, it was very helpful!

  • HP Pavilion ZD7000 hard drive expandable to SSD? Compatible?

    I'm looking to upgrade a HP Pavilion ZD7000 (P/N: DN730AV) for Windows 7 Home Premium, including equipment upgrades memory to 2 GB of storage, and I would add an SSD.

    Two questions:

    Q: a solid state drive is not compatible to this brand and model of laptop?

    Q: If so, the BIOS would require upgrading to support the SSD drive?

    Thank you!

    There are several problems with you try to run Windows 7 on this 10 year old material. The video (nVidia Geforce FX5200 GB) card will not support Aero desktop effects and is known to be buggy in Windows 7 with all the drivers from nVidia available. Second, the hard drive is EIDE, not SATA, so there is no available AHCI mode. AHCI is the only way to get excellent performance of an SSD. There are EIDE SSD. And they do not provide a performance increase, but nothing like what you get with modern machines with native SATA (AHCI) support.  It can use 2 GB of RAM which is memory DDR333. It is a single core Pentium 4 processor, and frankly, there are many cell phones on the market with as much computing power.

    128 GB PATA (EIDE) SSD for $175

    64 GB for $80

    The problem with the SSD isn't the BIOS, but the basic material. Here is the service manual you'll need if you decide to go forward. The laptop is great and pretty easy to disassemble. It could be upgraded to a 3.4 ghz Pentium 4 very easily for a little money if you have a slower processor installed. This would to some extent.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • The Pavillion desktop hard drive cage removal

    My computer warns of hard drive failure imminent, so I record everything with cloning software, got a new drive and opened the compujter to disks.

    My computer has a "flag" on the front, but no label product identification!  Support forum for HPs shows how to remove the hard drive on two different cage styles desktop Pavilion, but mine is completely different.  Because I can't find a model number or product, I can't ask HP about it through their support email system.

    The right side of the casing comes off, but the left side is riveted in place permanently.  There are two screws holding the cage to the frame, but after removing the cage remains stationary.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello:

    Your laptop is a mobile intel 945 chipset series which only supports sata 1 (1.5 Gbps).

    For what it's worth, I recently installed and Intel 535 120 GB SATA III (6.0 Gbps) SSD in my notebook of professional HP nc6400 with the same chipset 945 like yours and it worked very well.

    The laptop is much more sensitive, even if the drive runs only 1/4 of its ability to transfer.

    Notepad starts a lot faster too.

  • HP pavillion m7557c race ex hard drive problem

    recently crashed (sonething in the windows configuration) do the restore to factory records but drive hard only display 16 GB and it has a 300 GB inside assistance greatly apprreciated!

    If you download and make a GParted live disk and boot from it, you can delete both partitions and engage in change. Once you have made and created a single FAT32 partition, you can use the recovery discs to return your PC to its delivered State. You should have sufficient ability to use it. It was delivered in one day with a small hard drive.

    This is the reason why I proposed to install a larger hard drive.
