Replacement and hard drives in PowerVault 725N

I have an old PowerVault 725N configured with 80 GB of four disks for a huge 320 of storage.  I would like to replace these readers with something bigger.  Is this possible?

Is that simply pulling the old records and inserting new ones? Will I need to reload the OS? I have to update the BIOS to support new readers?

Dell has a 160 GB drive available through spare parts for $65.99 (341-1247)
Do I need to use Dell discs? If this is not the case, what kind of readers do need me?

Anyone can offer help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

  • Pavilion dv6600ev: I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I want to check compatibility

    Hello guys. I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I would check the compatibility. For the momemt, I have 2 x 512 MB of RAM and a 160 GB HARD drive. Does anyone know the type of RAM (DDR1 or DDR2 most) and the accepted maximum capacity. Also the SATA port is a SATA I? Besides, I'm going to change the operating system (preferably in Win 7) so is there a driver?

    You can install DDR2-800 modules and they are the most widely available at this point, but the memory will run at 667 mhz speed.

  • Replace the hard drive and memory - guaranteed?

    Recently, I replaced the hard drive on the Wyvern with a 640 GB WD Scorpio Blue after finding that the Toshiba disk stock was reallocating too many sectors (readers are functionally identical), and memory has been updated there is a 2 x 4 GB G.SKILL Kit (from stock 1x4Go, 1x2GB).  My laptop now needs to be repaired for hardware problems totally unrelated to these parties (specifically, one damaged USB and Ethernet Jack).  Overall coverage is affected by these parts or these replacements continue to allow outside replaced part complete warranty coverage?  (The Service Manual indicates that both of these parts are replaceable by the user.)

    Watch more closely the warranty conditions and found:

    This limited warranty [...] does not extend to any product [...] that has been damaged or rendered defective [...] (g) by modification or service by a person who [...] (iii) your own installation of end-user replaceable HP or HP parts if available for your product in the country or region maintenance. [...]

    The way I read the warranty conditions, the conditions above may apply, because the parts are not 'HP or HP approved parts', but only if the defect is actually caused by the replacement of these parts.  In addition, the Federal law stipulates that the simple use of third parties do not void a warranty (15 USC §2302 (c); Please note that I am not a lawyer).

    Anyone else agree or disagree with that?

    Edit: Because no one else answered, I will accept this position as being the solution.

    You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

  • can [4820tg] I replace my hard drive and always keep the Windows license?

    Hey! A quick question, on an older laptop that is still alive.

    Acer Aspire 4820TG

    Windows 7 family

    Can I replace the hard drive and install Windows again?

    I mean, I burned the recovery CD or software any Acer asked when the computer was new. Those can be used to install Windows if I replace the current hard drive?

    If so, how does the license? I guess that they can not be used on another computer, but I can reinstall all I want on this one?

    Thanks in advance!

    And this laptop is awesome. Runs strong through its 4th year and the battery still pumps on ~ 4-5 hours by being careful with the use. Heh, the other parts are probably die slowly, including the hard drive.

    Well.

    Yes to all your questions.

    You must use the recovery media that you have created, just check that they are still ok or create a new one, just in case where.

    on the license, it's like SLIC table BIOS, so you don't need to enter a serial number and your windows will be activated automatically.

  • ? Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Bad Status. WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive.

    When I start my computer, an error page appears. At the bottom of the page it says, "Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad." WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive. Press F1 for Setup, F2 to continue"I was just pressing F2 and then it starts normally, but whenever I start my computer, the same page comes up.

    Is this serious or it could be something minor? Do you have any suggestions? What does that mean? What should I do? I followed some information in the forums of someone who has had the same problem and finally, they fixed them, they said that when they made a prior microsoft update what they where missing a Parcer.

    Note: I tried to save my data before, but something goes wrong and the backup will not be completed.

    You can download the program for diagnotics HUtil Samsung http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/downloads/Hutil210_iso_for_CDROM_drive.zip

    It's an ISO image then unzip the file and write the ISO image to a CD.

    Then restart the PC and booting with the CD. To do this, you must change the priority/boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first.

    Once you have started the program HUtil it will detect your hard drive Samsung. Select the hard disk.

    Enter the main Menu on the tool. Go into the menu of the tool and enter Auto diagnosis. Enable diagnostics to run, once done it will ask you if you want to perform a surface analysis - enter Yes. The analysis of surface will take some time to complete. If errors are found, it reported.

    Once more I recommend you backup your data as soon as possible, preferably before executing HUtil program.

    Write when the cache is enabled: when data are written back to the hard drive, it is written in the cache that is much faster to actually write to the hard drive. An acknowledgement of receipt is then sent by saying that the data has been written on the hard disk, when in fact it does not. In this way so that the data is actually being written to the hard drive to the rest of the system can continue to work. However memory cache is volatile, if the power goes off, the data in the cache is destroyed and if it has not been written to disk hard and yet he's lost.

    If your settings are correct. Usually the drives are configured for performance and the write cache is enabled. While flash drives and memory cards are configured for the fast-moving and write cache is disabled.

  • Replaced my hard drive and my product key is missing

    I just replaced my hard drive on my computer and went through the installation process. I have a legitimate version of windows that was recorded before. This is the same computer, but I can't find my product key for Finnish installation. I tried to call, but the given number cannot be reached in my region... apparently.

    I see from my records that a similar case has been solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the update WAT - KB971033

    Open the Windows Update - click the link view updates installed on the left of the page

    in the list, find the WAT update KB971033, and then uninstall it.

    Then restart and reinstall the update from here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033
