Satellite A10 S213 hard drive replacement

My Satellite A10 S213 is equipped with a MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 S (40 GB) hard drive. The disc is more often sounds strange and strong although it works well.
But it will certainly not go long.
I would like to replace the hard drive with something compatible and if possible with more capacity. About 100 GB would be perfect.
So my question is:
* Replace HARD MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 S disk with more capacity there is for the Satellite A10 S213? *
Thank you for your help.

Hello

I guess that your laptop supports the IDE HDD controller.
Eventually the media controller IDE HDD only 28 bit LBA which allows you to use max 120 GB HDD.

I think you could install a larger HARD drive.

  • Need satellite A10 - spec hard drive

    Hello

    I replace my hard drive on my A10. Anyone know is hard ATA or installed or SATA disk? What is the difference between them? And can anyone suggest what is the best choice, I try to buy something between 40GB - 80GB. I am based in the United Kingdom.
    A good site to recommend?

    Many thanks Tony

    I found the tracking info:
    -Improved interface IDE (ATA-5)

    I think that there should be no problem if you use the 40 GB HARD drive with your Satellite A10.

  • Satellite P25-S507 - HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S507, which more is under warranty and has begun to report S.M.A.R.T. errors.

    SmartMonitor reports a lot of questions especially marked as old age so I need to replace the disk. I was wondering if I can replace it with any standard 2.5 "ATA as an ATA-100 player. as the disk of 60 GB specification is ATA - 5.

    Any help appreciated.

    Maybe no one has replaced the HARD drive on this laptop because it s Autric series and is a European forum of Toshiba, and most of us have European workbooks

    But the P25 is very similar to the P20 series.
    The P20 supports an improved IDE (ATA-5) interface.

    Then you should be able to use IDE hard drives.

    If you want to use a faster disk (ATA-6 or later), then possibly the controller would have only allows the performance of ATA-5;
    ATA - 5 = Ultra DMA 66 = 4, = 6 MB/s UDMA-66 ;)

  • Satellite L300-17I - hard drive replacement

    Hi, I have a few questions.

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300 - 17l as I have already written. My internal HARD drive is broken. He has some bad sectors, and I do not know how to isolate them so that I could use the rest of the hard disk! Can you help me and why I can't install Windows 7 on drive D, it only allows me to install on the C partition?

    And another question: my HARD drive is MK2552GSX but I can not find it on the market, so I ask is it ok if I buy a MK2565GSX? He would be able to me contruction the present MK2552GSX with MK2565GSX or it is impossible? I mean, is this compatible with my main card drive or not? and if not you know witch drives comatible?

    Thank you! :)

    Hi Dimitar,

    To be honest, if your hard drive has bad sectors it s time to replace because it s not advisable to save all data on it.

    With regard to the new HARD drive: you can install all models I think. Is important that you buy a model of 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface but each HARD disk will work so it s not making not specific.
    So, you can buy the Toshiba MK2565GSX you found :)

  • Re: Satellite A40-151 - HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    Following my previous thread (where the hard drive from the A40-151 has been slow and most later made a terrible noise and ultimately did not appear in the bios).

    I would replace the drive. I went to the store today and the available drive capacity was well beyond the 30 GB Toshiba MK3021GAS unit. Started 80 GB up to 250 GB. I'm a little worried about the extra power, the speed, the conditions of heat and weather the BIOS recognizes it. Ideally, I would like to find a new MK3021GAS unit. The guy in the store seemed to think that it would be unlikely that someone would still do 30 GB (I guess than the IDE 2.5 "HDD) readers might therefore have to go down for a refurbished drive.

    Are there specific readers (speed, capacity, etc.) that do not work with the laptop?

    I'm suspicious to a repairer for Toshiba because the age of the laptop the labor costs can exceed the value of the laptop. However accept what are probably the only people to carry the part.

    Kind regards
    Ashley.

    Hey,.

    You re right. Satellite A40 uses s HARD drive with older IDE interface. This means that you need a new 2.5 HDD with IDE interface.

    As far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and this means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB. So if you buy a larger HARD drive, you pay for the disk space you can use t.

    So I recommend a 120 GB model or less. It should work properly! :)

  • On Satellite S2800-200 HARD drive replacement

    I have a Satellite S2800-200 and the hard drive just died.
    What can I replace the drive with?
    I looked at the Samsung MP0402H 40 GB hard drive, it will be ok or should it be a special player or some interface?
    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know, this unit came with 10 GB of HARD drive. I m not 100% sure if you unit supports most HARD drive. In this case, you must contact the Toshiba ASP because they have more experience in this case.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A210-17I HARD drive replacement

    As the title suggests, I'm an Equium A210-17I... He suffered a fall while the car was still running.
    In any case, long story short, I reflected on a replacement of Hitatchi Travelstar and saw it as a good opportunity to update my space... IE: change my broken 160 GB drive to a replacement of 300 GB +.

    Now I'm sure with all the 2.5 "Travelstar with a SATA interface?

    Any help would be awesome on the subject... Here is an example of the type of replacement drive, I thought I'd do, but I kinda scared to buy the wrong one:

    This is just an example...

    Cheers for reading!
    Your comments are welcome, because this stuff is all pretty new to me!

    Hi dude

    Yes, you will need a SATA HDD!
    The 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive would be OK.
    To avoid a problem with a 300 GB HARD drive, because the SATA HDD controller should support more HARD drive as well.

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro M40: HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    I recently bought a new hard drive for my satellite pro m40 like my old man, we broke up I put the hard drive in the machine properly and it's the same speed, size etc, but the laptop does not recognize it at all.

    I tried to swap back to the old hard drive and he acknowledges, the news is a number of slightly different model a new the original is mk6022gax and original is mk6026gax. the two 60 GB, I am told. Please help me if you can.

    Thank you.

    Hi Ollie,

    The only reason I can think is that the new hard drive is may not be configured correctly for your laptop. I know that some Toshiba drives are supplied as C - salt rather than the more usual master configuration, but these are normally reported as such on the nameplate.

    It is possible to change the setting of the drive (see the following URL for details) http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/p69067/jumpers.htm

    It is also possible that the new disk is defective (unlikely but it should be considered).

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro 4360 - HARD drive replacement

    I have a SP4360 with v.nosey 12 GB of HARD drive I want to replace. In the technical specifications for the 4360 it is listed as EIDE. I looked on EBuyer and there are a couple of replacement if necessary:
    Western Digital Scorpio 40 GB EIDE LP 2.5 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache (WD400VE)
    Scorpio 40 GB EIDE LP 2.5 5400 RPM 2 MB Ns (WD400UE)
    The WD400VE is listed as ATA-100 connector type, but the WD400UE is listed as EIDE. These use the same connector and either will work in my SP4360?

    Hello

    If you want to be 100% sure contact Toshiba service partner. I'm not 100% sure but I think he should avoid any problems. The only question is to know if the laptop can manage with whole HARD drive capacity.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L10-103: HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    My hard drive is almost dead, and I would change it.
    I have two questions:
    -A 2.5 "hard drive fits in my laptop?
    -How can I change the hard drive, is there some kind of guide?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
    The HARD drive slot, you will find at the bottom of the laptop.
    To remove the HARD drive, you should only remove the slot cover.
    (You will find the details in the user manual)

    AFAIK the device has been supported with 40 GB HARD drive
    I think you can also use 60GB and 80GB HDD without any problem of BIOS.

    Hope this info can help you a bit.

  • Hard drive replaced on Satellite A10 wouldn t

    Hello

    I have a laptop A10. the hard drive died on me and was contracted. I bought a new hard drive, put it in and turned it back.

    Comes up with the media test failure, check the system cable\insert disk in the drive.

    I do not have any disk system, I just one cd with drivers, I bought the laptop.

    How to make a system disk? any ideas?

    A solution may be to reinstall the drive CORRECTLY and try again.

    In most cases the player was just connected innacurate so that it has no connection and cannot be recognized.
    Or try to connect to another HARD drive in this machine to exclude an error into the connector on the HARD drive.

    But if you're sure that you correctly connected your drive and your test with a HARD drive another managed to 10000%, then send the HARD drive to the dealer where you bought
    and the player, who they send to you.

  • Re: Satellite L650D SMART HARD drive failure, backup fails when only half

    Hello

    I have a laptop L650D. I get the following error message
    "Disk0.
    Your HARD drive has failed to predict INTELLIGENT works what monitors HARD drive operating status. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and SMARRT monitoring software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a backup for the data on your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new drive for replacement if necessary. »
    It then gives me the option to make a back-up.
    I tried two times to make this backup and twice it almost 50% of fact and then it says there no :(
    It only gives me the option to backup DVD drive, the ability to use another drive is grayed out and cannot be selected (I have a 1 TB drive external DRIVE connected via USB)

    I always use the laptop, there not having yet. I copied all the pictures, documents and emails from my external HARD drive it will not be too devastating if it falls.

    Any suggestions?

    I am trying to locate my receipt, because I think that's only a little more than 12 months since I bought it. Not sure if I can argue to get the HARD drive replaced under warranty, as it should last longer than what he has.

    Thanks in advance

    If I understand you well you want to backup using Windows Backup and Restore option system, right? I put t really know if there is any sense to do this if the HARD drive is probably faulty.
    What you need is the backup of your personal data.

    My suggestion: buy external HARD drive, connect it to your laptop and copy all the important things on that external data. When you have a new HARD drive in your laptop, you need to install the new OS so I put t think you need this Windows backup.
