• Re: Which HARD drive I can use in my Satellite 1110

  Nice day!

  I want to set a larger HARD drive in my notebook, but I don't know how low have the motherboard.
  Buy drive HARD 160 GB and its job properly?
  And I have to buy HDD PATA or SATA?

  Help me please.
  Thank you

  160 GB HARD drive on this old notebook?
  You kidding me?

  According to the specifications of the laptop you can enhance it with 30 GB drive HARD (MK3018GAP).
  Maybe more, I don't know. There is no public document on the limits of upgrade.

  My personal opinion is that you can try to improve with 60 GB HARD drive.
  Is it not enough for this oldie?

• Satellite A210-ICO - what HARD drive I can use?

  I'm getting bad sectors on the hard drive of my laptop, so I guess I should pay for a new one – but who are able to A210-1CO?

  TA, M

  Hello

  Satellite A210 uses SATA hard drives and you need a new HARD drive with SATA interface. You can buy each HARD drive you want, for example 160 or 320 GB. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

  In addition, most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its compatible downgrade to SATA1.
  I would have preferred a HARD disk at 5400 RPM. Of course, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but they produced more heat and noise. For most of the applications are pretty 5400 RPM.

  I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  Good bye

• What HARD drive I can use on my Satellite A660-13D?

  Hello

  I'm looking for any compatible for a Toshiba SATELLITE A660-13D hard disk drive as the one inside is dead now.

  This model comes with the laptop is a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX 640 GB, SATA 3 Gb/second 5400 RPM 2.6 revision

  Official suppliers of Toshiba quoted me 130 euros por the same model.

  I can't have such model through any other store or the internet.

  There are a lot of different new TOSHIBA HDD in the market with the largest capacity and much less expensive than the MK6465GSK.

  Can I install any new toshiba HDD on my SATELLITE A660-13D?

  Is there any toshiba page where I can find out what toshiba HARD drive are compatible with my SATELLITE?

  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  Fernando

  What you need is 2.5 SATA HDD and it may be Toshiba but it may also be of some other manufacturers. You don't need anything special. If possible consult your dealer and they can help you choose one that suits.

  Now, when you need a new HARD drive maybe you should think about upgrading with SSD. Disc SSD is much faster and use of SSD with your laptop will rapidly increase the performance of s for laptop.

  More info on SSD, you can read on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html

• Satellite P100 - 10 p - what HARD drive I can use?

  What larger and faster HARD drive I can replace the 12.5 mm 2, 5 inch 200 GB 4200 RPM in my Satellite P100 - 10 p with?
  I can only find readers of 9.5 mm.

  Toshiba is usually inaccessible and as usual hasten to refer to their "dealers" who do not know their elbow for their...
  Why do we support these faceless idiots who are only willing to deal with the ministries or other bulk public-money-wasting buyers?

  I discovered something this laptop runs the height of 2.5 inches x 9.5 mm HDD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB, 100 GB and 120 GB and 160 GB (and more) internal height of 2.5 in. x 12.7 mm drives.

  Looks like both hard drives 2.5 SATA (9.5 mm and 12.7 mm) can be used!

• 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.

• Which hard drive do I need for my compaq presario CQ60

  which hardd drive do I need for my Compaq Presario CQ60? And where would be a good place to try to get a quality for a lower price? Thanks advance.

  Hello

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be great for your laptop computer, as long as it's the same capacity or larger than your current HARD drive.

  Hard drive 320 GB

  The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed from Page 51 in your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

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

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

  Kind regards

• I have a WD external hard drive that I used for a while and all of a sudden I can't.

  The device is a USB connected external hard drive. I used it on a regular basis until today. When I connect it it seems to connect (it lights up), and when he did it before she would open a window that would ask if I wanted to open and examine its contents. It does not now. When I go to Start computer it is no longer present upward with the other HD etc. I took it on another computer and it worked fine. I wonder if a driver does not work?

  Restore points should be back fairly in time, if you have enabled the restoration of the system.

  Read the information contained in the links I provided. about how to use system restore.

  You do not accept the available Restore Point.

• Satellite M40-154 (PSM40E) - which HARD drive new can I use?

  Hello community,

  need a new HARD drive for my * Satellite M40 154 GR PSM 40th *. The old a HDD is: Toshiba MK8025GAS. The new need Toshiba also, 5400 RPM and 80-100GB capacity.
  I already try to find out which is right for my laptop, but I do not understand much about the HARD drives. There are more types, like GSX... But I need one that is compatible with my M40. Pleas help.

  Kind regards.

  AFAIK you can use each HARD top of page 120 GB disk because your laptop is a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can use the top of 128 GB of DISK space.

  The new HARD drive should be have an IDE interface and size 2.5. All that s and normally each Toshiba HDD should work with these specifications.

  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. :)

• Satellite 2770 - what HARD drive I can use?

  Hello

  Can I use a 80 GB IDE HDD for Satellite 2770?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Wow. The Satellite 2770 is really an oldie
  He did not know to me that someone is still used as portable ;)

  Back to your question;
  I think that it should be possible to upgrade the 80 GB HARD disk.
  I put t known what HDD IDE controller was built in, but it should support the LBA 28 bits and, therefore, up to 128 GB HARD drive should be recognized.

  But this is only my personal opinion anyway it s worth a try

• Satellite Pro L100 - which hard drive is maximum for this model.

  Dear users, I have a problem with choosing appropriate new HARD drive for this model. I have no idea of this title is to the maximum with what my BIOS will manage. This model, I bought on the year 2006.
  I would be grateful for any help.

  Hello

  AFAIK this Satellite Pro L100 has been equipped with a SATA HDD controller.
  All hard drives 2.5 SATA should therefore be compatible controllers SATA HDD with no limitation.

  Beginning taken IDE controllers support only 28-bit LBA and allows only to hard disks up to 128 GB.
  Given that the ATA - 6 the 48-bit LBA is supported which allows the use of larger hard drives?

• What type of HARD drive I can use Satellite M70-337?

  Is this compatible with the laptop HARD drive toshiba, if not, what is the specification for the necessary HARD disk?

  Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  I think what you need is a HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think that the 40 GB of HARD drive that was installed in your laptop supports a 5400 RPM.

  To my knowledge the external USB case supports an IDE hard drives. But you know, it is possible to s that your external HARD drive supports a SATA interface. In any case, you must check it before using this laptop computer HARD drive.

  In addition, there is a problem with the size of the HARD drive. It is a 120 GB HARD drive and, possibly, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive. I think you can use 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives but I'm not sure about the 120 GB.

  But you can test it.
