Re: Tecra A7 - what is the maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

Hi all

Is there any BIOS, hardware limitation of a hard drive replacement for Toshiba Tecra A7? I'm looking to install 500 GB hard drive. Will it work?

Thank you
Matt

Hello

As I know there is no limit of capacity on the HARD disk for Tecra A7 already has a SATA interface and a controller for the HARD drive.

So, theoretically, 500 GB should work fine, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

But you could give us a feedback here, how it works with 500 GB! ;)

  • Can Tecra M9 - I put the HARD drive?

    I currently own a * Tecra M9 - 15I * (part PTM91E-04R03TEN No. - discontinued model).

    When I bought the laptop, it came with a 120 GB HARD drive. I am running Windows Vista Business which fills almost half of the hard drive. I want to upgrade the HARD drive because I think the upgrade to Windows 7.

    Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? If so, what are the compatible HARD drive options? If I do not change the HARD drive, this will affect the status of the guarantee of the laptop? for example, I currently have a 3 year warranty and the warranty upgrade HARD drive Toshiba?

    Hello!

    Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive on your laptop and this doesn t affect the warranty. HDD upgrade isn't complicated and so it can be done by the user.

    To swap the HARD drive, you need only remove the screws to the HARD drive Bay and remove the HARD disk cover. Then you can see the HARD drive and swap it.
    I don t know you, look in your user manual. You will find interesting information and photos on this topic.

    Theoretically, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.
    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  • Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

    I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

    Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

    Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

    Hey,.

    > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
    I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

    Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

    You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

  • What is the hard drive more large size taken supported by the HP Pavilion a6650f?

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6650f that I got from a friend a few years ago.

    I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive to a SATA 1 TB or 2 TB drive. The vehicle currently has a 80 GB IDE drive. I know it is originally with a 500 GB SATA drive (which was later to be defective, so he gave it to me after his warranty missed).  The original drive left after that (of course) missed coverage.

    He currently runs Ubuntu Linux 12.04 EAP 32-bit.

    This PC would be able to use the 2 TB drive Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 7 200 RPM?

    http://microcenter.com/product/386364/Barracuda_2TB_7, 200_SATA_6Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_ST2000DM...

    The computer should be fine with SATAII disks up to 2 TB. Greater than 2 to cause problems for you. In addition, you may need to update the drivers for the readers of Format 'Advance '.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6T-3000 PC laptop, and S.M.A.R.T. has constantly warned me of impending hard disk failure. I already reinstalled the hard drive, and I still get error 301 s.m.a.r.t.

  • Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

    What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

    Hi turboiwan,

    As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

    For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

  • Satellite Pro A100-001 - maximum capacity of a hard drive supported?

    I tried looking for the Board of Directors and the Toshiba site, but have not yet found the answer. Please bear with me if the question has been answered elsewhere.

    I bought an old A100 on eBay - it seems to work fine, but it has a 40 GB hard drive (not standard).

    Enter the serial number on the Toshiba support site reveals the machine to be an A100-001.

    I can implement it using a SATA drive.

    Anyone know if I could go to a 320 GB drive, or if there is a limit to the capacity of hard disk supported in this model?

    Hello

    If that s SATA HARD drive controller then you should be able to use the 320 GB HARD drive and more
    As much as I know the SATA controller has no limitations, and therefore, it should be possible to use these larger sizes of hard drives.

    Hope I could help you.

  • Tecra S5 - after replacing the HARD drive I can't install Windows XP

    I can't boot from the CD, I tried booting from CD via BIOS, by pressing 'C' but I had no luck.

    Any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    What disc you are trying to start exactly?
    Have you tested different discs?

    You should check the boot order in the BIOS. Configure the CD/DVD drive as first boot device and test it again!

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

    I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

    HI - new here. I have a:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
    Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

    It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

    Thank you.

    Hi Lapitup,

    Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

    Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.
