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

  • Satellite M70 - 394 - what HARD drive I can install?

    I have a Satellite M70-394 (PSM70E) that I would like to upgrade the hard drive.

    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 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.

  • Satellite 2430-402: which HARD drive I can use for an upgrade

    Hello

    I have a 2430-402 satellite and the hard drive is full. Can someone tell me the greatest, he will take care and what kind do I buy? (Probably not PATA or SATA but I should look into IDE)

    Thank you

    Jez

    Hello

    You are right. To my knowledge, the Satellite 2430 was delivered with an improved interface to drive HARD IDE (ATA-5). Therefore, we must look for IDE hard disks.

    I'm not sure about Mr. size of HARD drive max. I think that Toshiba provides official information what size HARD drive max can be used. I presume to test

    Laptop has been delivered with a40GB HARD disk. Am I wrong?
    Hmm in my opinion the 60GB HDD should run. You might also try a 80 GB HARD drive if it s compatible.
    But I really very skeptical about larger sizes.

    Best regards

  • 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 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 L450D - what HARD drive I can use?

    Will try a hard drive to a desktop pc in the present, going to work or laptops have different hard drives?

    Hey Buddy,

    Desktop computers and laptops have different drives. Desktop hard drives are bigger (3.5) and laptops using only 2.5. On Wikipedia, there is a nice article on hard drives:

    Satellite L450D already supports SATA drives if you need a new 2.5 HDD with SATA interface.

  • What HARD drive I can use Equium L20-198?

    Hi all!
    I'm looking to upgrade my drive,(L20-198) hard as it has only 40 GB for now.
    It has been said that any player (9.5 mm?) of 2.5 "internal SATA will work.

    Is this correct? I am hoping to move to a greater capacity and also a RPM faster.
    IE 80/100 GB-7200 RPM

    Just want to be sure that no readers are listed for this model on the Toshiba site!
    But then I saw other readers recommended on other sites.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I guess the HARD SATA 40 GB drive supports a 5400 RPM.
    I think you could use a 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and a 100 GB HARD drive.
    But I think the 5400 RPM is higher because many HARD disk faster could produce more heat and this could lead to overheating problems.

    Therefore use the 5400 RPM HARD drive, and you should also get a very good data transfer performance.

  • Satellite 5200-802 - what HARD drive can I use?

    Hello

    I have a 5200-802 Satellite with a 80 GB HDD (IDE) and I would build in more.

    I would like to know what is the largest room, which will be accepted by this laptop. Is it 100 GB or 120 GB, 160 GB or 250 GB or 400GO or?
    Who manufactures?

    Everyone knows?

    Thanks in advance
    Jürgen

    What do you think is the biggest HARD drive you can use?
    I think that this question can be easily answered: it s a HARD drive to 120 GB because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits in the IDE. If you want to know more about this please consult this website: http://www.48bitlba.com

    If you need a 120 GB 2.5 HARD drive and you can buy each production. I have good experiences with Seagate and Hitachi.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

    I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

    And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

    What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

    It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
    I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

    By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

    Hello

    It s is HARD disk controller.
    You can use the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.

    But if the IDE controller supports only 28 bit LBA then you could use max 120 GB HDD s.
    If the IDE controller supports 48-bit LBA, you can then use more big s HDD.

    48-bit LBA is supported because ATA-6 sets (also known as Ultra DMA/100, Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100) IDE controller

  • What HARD drive max can I use satellite 3000 514

    Hey all,.

    What is usable by the 3000-514 maximum capacity hard drive. It comes standard with 20 GB but I can't find anything online that gives this information.

    Kind regards
    Samurai Sjakkie

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure but to my knowledge the BIOS of Satellite 3000 supports a limitation of the HARD drive and you can only use the IDE 2.5 ", 9.5 mm HDD s up to 30 GB.
    Seems that BIOS will not recognize large s 30 GB HARD drive!

    I found this info somewhere in the internet. But you know the guy. These are only suggestions. If you wish, you can try any other disk HARD s i.e. 40 or 60 GB. It would be interesting to know if the HARD disk is running or not. Are you referring to the merchant of HARD drive if it of possible to test some HARD drive sizes!

    If you have more information, please report it here! Thank you ;) see you later

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

    Hello
    I want to upgrade my Satellite M70-337 with a 120 GB HARD drive. I have an external USB with a Toshiba MK-1234GAX 120 GB disk drive in it, I could share with my original 40 GB hitachi drive.
    Is this compatible with the laptop HARD drive toshiba, if not, what is the specification for the necessary HARD disk?

    Thanks for any help!
    Károly

    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.
