Satellite A200-1QK - need new HARD drive for upgrade

I was planning on upgrading my A200-1QK (320 GB of HARD drive).

I was looking for a HARD drive with more space and possibly with more speed, I work with the composition and recording of the audio mixing software and libraries tend to consume a lot of space (I know that an Office would be the best option and I have one, but sometimes I need a more portable solution). I even thought connecting the BONES a SATAII external 1 TB HARD drive but I don't know if it's possible.

Well, but the question here is:
What are the technical proprieties that I should look for in a HARD drive so it works on my laptop?
Y at - it no avaible 7200 RPM for laptops? I'm looking for some 500 GB or larger.

Thanks in advance =)

Hello

Theoretically, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but it produces more heat and need a little more power as a 5400 RPM model. So it of your choice what you buy. ;)
You can buy each portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA or SATA2 connector. If you are looking for a small tray on online shops, you should find enough hard drives of 500 GB at 7200 RPM.

I have good experiences with Hitachi and Western Digital hard drives.

  • Satellite 3000-100: need new HARD drive

    Hello

    I am looking for a new HARD drive for my laptop.

    I've already tired 3 different (2xHiachi, 1xToshiba MK2023GAS) HARD drives, but the Bios (latest Version 2.40) could not detect them.

    Nobody knows that suits HARD drive?

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite 3000-100 supports an Enhanced IDE Ultra DMA66/100 interface.
    Therefore, use this HARD drive interface compatible hard drives.

    The 20 GB HARD drive should be compatible due to the fact that this device was equipped with a 20 GB HARD drive too.

    I discovered that these drives may be supported:
    PA3100U 15 GB HDD-modular
    PA3101U modular HARD 30 GB disk

    Try simply google for this part numbers and you should get a few hits.

    Additional numbers describes the series of laptop! There are different A200 series!
    At the bottom of the unit, you will find the integer and you need only the first characters and numbers 5.

    Please choose the right Satellite A200 series and download the graphics driver on the right!

    But the way in which; I don't know if the game performance will improve after the installation of the new graphics driver I've read somewhere that Vista needs a lot more material performance and that's why some games don t m runs smoothly.

  • HP pavilion dv7 4077cl need new hard drive

    I need a new hard drive for my laptop HP pavilion dv7 4077cl entertainment.  The old man is a Toshiba MK6465gsx.  What would be compatible?  Maybe more now I have 640 GB of storage like most.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Yes, the HARD drive become more fat and more (capacity), becomes also more small - actually thinner - (dimension) AND cheaper too. You can use more (once again - ability) HDD from reliable suppliers/manufacturers. 750 GB or 1 TB of a WD HARD drive would be a good start - please stay with the one who has more cache and fast (7200 rpm or more).

    My suggestion: replace it with a SSD and put a larger HARD drive on the second span.

    Kind regards.

    Can someone please direct me to a disc replacement OK for me please?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you in advance,

    Hello

    Maybe the HDD IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA and it would mean that more than 120 GB of HARD drive are not supported.
    In this case, you can only use hard drives that are not more than 120 GB.

    I think that you will need to test a HARD drive with a smaller size

  • Need new HARD drive to store 120GB 1.8 steel "speaker

    Hello

    I need to buy a new hard drive for my external 1.8 "store 120 GB steel box.
    The model number on this external hard drive is PA4136E - 1 HA 2

    What is the model of reader that is in them, is MK1229GSG.

    Hello

    I think (but I m not 100% sure) the enclosure supports SATA interface.

    But if you remove the internal HARD drive, then you will see the description of the HARD disk on the label.

    I think that you need a HARD SATA 1.8 for the speaker.

  • I can install Windows 7 on a new hard drive for HP Envy m6 1205dx

    My HP Envy m6-1205dx son is a notebook of 2013. The screen was broken and I replaced one. Now he says that there is not a BONE, I tried to install a full version of Windows 7 Professional, and he said that he there was not a boot device. I've reconfigured the BIOS to boot with the CD/DVD ROM and it started installing. When he arrives at the point of asking where to put the installation there is no option. I checked the connection to the hard drive and it is not a problem here. I think to buy a new hard drive to install the Windows 7 operating system, I am afraid that it will not work or he will say that I need to install the drivers. This laptop originally supplied with Windows 8. Can I install this version of Windows on this laptop? If I need to install the drivers how can I get them? It cannot be a website to download the drivers on your computer. I can't do without the computer having an operating system. I downloaded some drivers from a link, I saw on You Tube and put it on a flash drive, but none was consistent, one of them did read on a different/more older computer I tried to install this OS on and it says that the driver was out of date. It seems to me that a (FULL VERSION) drivers and everything else you might need. I'm not computer savvy, so I do not know! I'm just trying to save my investment of $600 on this computer without spending $300. I can get a new hard drive for $80 and it was on that I would go; However, I will buy a new Windows 8 operating system if it is the only option.

    There is no device driver Windows 7 for your model, only Windows 8:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5359748&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en

    If there is no driver, your PC may not work correctly (No. LAN or WiFi, Audio, USB, etc.) after the installation of Windows 7.

    Check your hard drive, if the laptop has been abandoned the drive may be defective and must be replaced.

    You can order a support of HP recovery:

    I installed a new hard drive for my dell Inspiron 1525 and try to install windows 7. He asks me to install the driver. How to do it

    Using the Dell recovery disks to reinstall?

    The origonal drive failed?

    If you are using a real MS win dvd during the first part of the installation it can not find a drive or ask a driver, then the driver is obtained from Dell, specific to your model, its likely the driver sata, you need to download to say a USB and then point to this file when the installation application the third-party driver.

  • My Satellite cannot recognize the new HARD drive

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop. After installing it, I didn't get the message none found a fixed drive. I updated the bios from the Toshiba site and the same message is still there.

    I also tried the drive in another laptop. It has been recognized correctly, so I formatted one installed Windows XP Pro top. It worked ok so I tried again in my laptop but message saying put system disk and press any key. So I put XP disc in it starts the installation starts to transfer files and doesn't give the message no hard drive found so it still does not find the hard drive.

    Please can someone help?

    Hi Ken

    It would be nice to know the name of cell exactly.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive due to the size of the HARD drive.

    It would be very interesting to know if the HARD disk is compatible with this laptop and supported

    You can integrate the drivers Sata (ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI) and burn a new cd XP with nLite .

     

    Here is a guide showing how to integrate and here drivers Sata. 7-ZIP or Universal Extractor are good at unpacking the installer.
