Re: Tecra M9 - 15I - HDD that upgrade?

I think of upgrading my laptop HARD drive. I seek through my options and don't know whether to go for a HARD disk with a rpm of 5400 or 7200. Read information from the manufactureres, a 7200 RPM hard drives are usually better.

But no one knows how this will affect the performance of the laptop? that is the life of the battery will be reduced?

Hello

In my opinion it according to the application that you are running. If you use Notepad for office and Internet only, HARD 5400 RPM disk should be fast enough. Faster disk HARD s bring only a significant performance difference if you play games where large files must be loaded or you are working with large system files (a lot of s Go).
In addition, faster hard drives produce more heat and reduce the battery life.

Normally, Tecra M9 is designed for business and work. It s not a multimedia artist then I would choose the disk 5400 RPM.

    Well, you have the difference between SATA and IDE hard drives.

    It's true that the upgrade to DC will remove Acrobat XI and plug-ins is automatically deleted as well.

    However your settings or preferences will not carry over, so it would be clean, wipe and install.

  • Tecra A9 - after CPU fan upgrade works constantly at full power

    Hi all

    I have 3 Tecra A9 notebook that came with a Core2Duo T7100 clocked at 1.8 Ghz with 2 MB of Cache. Updated every 3 to a T7700 clocked at 2.4 Ghz with 4 MB of Cache. According to Intel, these two processors TDP is 35W. Books don't get really hot and not hot. The CPU FAN starts right full power after the display of the BIOS with the Toshiba Logo screen. Under Bios Version 2.1 on all 3 systems, having the same behavior on all 3 systems. CPU properly recognized under Windows XP, Win7, and Win10. Is it possible to get the adjusted to normal CPU fan? The system isn t is hotter than upgrading the CPU, just for some reason any BIOS has now decided the fan must operate at full power. I even traded one of the CPU Fans with that of a Tecra A10 notebook but had the same effect as with the original fan. Having no idea what I could do. I hope for your help!

    Best regards

    I think that needs calibration to be performed to configure the table of fan speed.
    Toshiba Service Center to do this.

  • Tecra A3-S611 - hard drive upgrade

    I'm new to this forum and publishing in general.
    We have a Tecra A3-S611 who needs a new hard drive. I do not know how to order a. Anyone would be able to tell me what are the options we have? Can order us a SATA hard drive? Speed? Any size requirement? 2.5 ", Yes? Good suppliers? Brands? Please forgive my ignorance.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    After looking on Google for this model number, it seems that this model uses a ParallelATA (IDE 2.5 "hard disk), you cannot install a SATA drive because the connector is different

    Given the A3 only came out with 40 GB (or there abouts) HDD, the maximum size may be limited to 120 GB due to the LBA48 barrier of 137 GB (limitation of the Chipset).

    So what you want is a 100 GB or 120 GB IDE PATA 2.5 "HDD, clocked at 4200 RPM or 5400 RPM / min. 7200 TPM can become too hot.

  • Tecra A10 - lost HDD Recovery for Vista

    Hello Toshiba,

    I bought a Tecra a month ago. Here are the details:
    Device name: Tecra A10 - 11L
    Unit number: PTSB0E-00C006AR

    For some reason I have to downgrade the machine in Windowx XP (using the CD-ROM supplied in the packaging recovery). I do not use Vista.
    Now I need to go back to the factory installed Vista Business.
    I didn't create a Vista recovery CD before downgrading to XP.

    I think I lost recovery disk for Vista.

    Then I found the site to order: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/serial.aspx

    1. I'm not sure I'll order the recovery Vista or XP Media?, it shows (price (including VAT): EUR 29.33)
    What recovery media that I will get?
    a. VISTA Business recovery
    b. recovery XP Media? (that I have)

    2 is there a hidden partition that I can use it to retrieve the vista?

    Can someone help/guide me?

    Sincerely,

    Andrew

    You are right. After installing Windows XP edition family the HDD recovery went and it cannot be used to install more factory settings. There is no hidden partition and you can't do anything.
    I really don't understand why you ignored Toshiba reminder on creating recovery DVDs.

    In any case, I think that you will get Vista 32 Bit SP1 Business (EN) because with this OS is delivered and preinstalled Tecra.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b78el: HP Pavilion dv6-6b78el HDD SSD upgrade

    Hello

    I'm interestend in the upgrade of my SSD and HDD to, to do this, I have a question.
    First of all to all types of SSD less 2.5 "fit in my laptop? Second question on SSD info, I need to check something on the speed or it wont fit my real compatibility motherboard? Third and last question is about the connector, I saw in my current HARD drive, it is compatible with all types of SSD or I need to check something when you purchase it?

    Thank you for your time.

    Good day to evryone.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See pages 52 to 54 for the procedure to access the hard disk, remove and replace.

    To answer your questions in order: no, your laptop is not compatible with the small mSATA readers that resemble the memory modules. The only type of SSD, you can use is a 2.5 inches wide 7 or 9.5 mm thick SATA SSD. These are the most common type and there is a confusing choice from there. My own go - to SSD is a Samsung 850 Evo:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-internal-MZ-75E500B-am/DP/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_2?s=PC&ie=UTF8&QID=1447245247&SR=1-2&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo

    You need to check the speed or anything like that or worry about the configuration of the BIOS, if you use Windows 7 or higher. Treat is as a hard drive. The physical package of the reader; in other words, where the connectors and the holes of mounting and the form and the size of the box itself are the same as a hard drive mechanical except that it is likely to be thinner, 7 mm instead of 9.5 mm. He always perfectly fits in the cart or the slot where the old drive.

  • Impossible to connect to the gateway SSL of the company site and program database after that upgraded 10.0

    Dear All/Admin/Tech,
    After the upgrade to Firefox 10.0 staff of my company in Indonesia can not rained access gateway SSL for the web of our company and therefore cannot log on to our web database program.

    In my tests, in Singapore (with the same ISP fiber broadband), I have the same problem.

    Both Chrome and IE have no problem, but Firefox stops on error "the connection was reset".

    Firefox is now super sensitive to the shift of site Web, allows no ports or y at - there some problem in which Firefox to reject Web page or program?

    So far, that seems to happen on Firefox 10.0 and our SSL https web portal. What is good on all other browsers.

    The problems seems to be in the Microsoft Security Update KB2585542, that TLS and SSL fixes. Apparently some websites that use SSL do not work properly because of this.

    I had to disable the update of security KB2585542, then downgrade to FF 9.0.1.

    BUT I don't want to remain unpatched and with an older version of FF. A way around this problem without downgrading?

    EDIT: Just to be clear, even after I disabled the patch MS that I kept getting "the connection was reset" in FF10. Everything worked great until I upgraded to FF10 even with the patch on.

  • Qosmio F60-100 - after that upgrade RAM screen goes black

    Hello world
    I upgrade my RAM a g-skill 2 * 4 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
    I have a Qosmio F60-100
    I am on Windows 7 pro N
    I checked whether they have updated bios (the toshiba soft explain to me, that there is not an update available)
    I checked if the RAM were compatible with my laptop (these have been suggested to me)

    When I put the new RAM in the laptop, in "Starting Windows", the screen goes black and the fan works hard.
    So I'm not able to install my new RAM.

    These ram are compatible with my laptop?
    What is the problem?

    Thanks so much for all those who can help you.

    PS: English is not my mother tongue, sorry about that...

    Hello

    According to your Qosmio notebook specifications can be improved up to 8 GB. The comparable memory modules are:
    2 GB DDR3-1066-PA3676U-1M2G
    4 GB DDR3-1066-PA3677U-1M4G

    I don't know that references your RAM modules but the behavior described is probably as a result of the use of non compatible modules.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You will need to buy a SATA HDD.
    The Satellite Pro C660 series to buy a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    Additional specifications who love speed (RPM) and the size are not confined.
    As far as I know that the SATA controller can handle all sizes of disk so, theoretically, you can put a 500 GB and larger.

  • The Portege 7140 (HDD, memory) upgrade

    Hello
    I recently bought a second hand Portege through eBay. I did a little research and I feel that the 7140 has a Bay memory expansion in which I can put a stick of memory of 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB. Toshiba sells only a maximum of 128 MB, but Kingston sells a key of 256 MB for laptop. The 256 MB will work fine?

    Second question - can stick any disk drive 2.5 "EIDE in the laptop? Is there a technical specification somewhere that lists the BIOS revision against the sizes of drive support?

    Last question - I have not actually received the laptop again and read the pdf data sheet it seems as if she isn't an internel floppy drive? If this is correct, the only way I'll be able to upgrade the bios is through the windows, is this correct? The only problem, if this is the case, it's that I use Linux not Windows. I might have to buy an external floppy drive.

    In any case thank you for any help or suggestions anyone may have.

    Jon

    Hi Spinksi,

    Colleague of mine has the same machine at home. He put 256 MB of RAM and it works fine. Its RAM is manufactured by Toshiba. You can also use RAM Kingston.

    There's also a 20-GB HARD drive. It works fine. Before changing do updating BIOS HARD drive. You can find the latest Version on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin under download BIOS. You'll find Toshiba BIOS update Description. Read it before you continue. It is very important.

    So I know we're no sort of spec where you can find data on the BIOS and disk sizes.

    Answer to your last question is: you're right. Portege had no floppy drive, and you need to update the BIOS. But I'm sure you can find cheap one by ebay.

    Good bye
