• What size of HARD drive is compatible with my Satellite A100-771

  Hey guys,.

  is there a size limit of HDD for my A100-771?
  And what type of HARD drive I need? IDE or SATA?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi dude

  From my experience, the Satellite A100 series was equipped with SATA drives.

  There should be a SATA HDD controller and you can use SATA 2.5 hard drives.

  I think that there isn t disc HARD size limit since the SATA controller is not limited to all special HARD drive sizes

  I think that most SATA HDD must be compatible

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I got old A40 son of infections of Virus and spyware. Now, I want to improve.

  At the present time, I have still the old Bios and a 30 GB IDE drive at 4200 RPM. (model n ° PSA45E-007N1-EN)
  It's like the A10 that accepts maximum 60 GB drive or I can't do big?

  One provider suggested that I stay at 4200 RPM, but to ask Toshiba what they recommend, so far unanswered.
  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  How have you tried to ask Toshiba? As far as I know, you can ask the service provider authorized in your country information but not a Toshiba directly.

  However, I studied a bit here in the forum and found this thread:

  and this one

  It seems that there is no official information, but the user henrivdw has updated the A30 (similar to A40) with 80 GB HARD drive successfully.

  Good luck

• What size of HARD drive should input--> expert mode

  Hello

  I cannot using the last portion of the expert mode where you can specify the size of the new disk.
  I don't know what value to enter in the space.
  When I click on enter, he keeps emphasizing it and do nothing.

  Help, please

  You must put the size of the partition you would like to have.
  The expert mode of the parts of the HARD drive into 2 partitions. The operating system would be installed on the first partition. The second partition is hidden initially
  You can make it visible in disk management settings.

• Satellite 5200 - maximum size of HARD drive

  Hello
  I have several times successfully updated my hard drive in my 5200-701.
  I am running a 100 GB HD as the primary drive and a 120 GB hard drive in the Bay of style.
  Unfortunately, I'm out of new space and want to step up to a 160 GB or even HD 200 GB.
  Does anyone know if there are no restrictions in the maximum size of a disk?
  I'm not an expert, but it tickles my mind that there was a moment where there is a limit of 132 GB, but that might have had something to do with Windows NT or 2000.
  I am running XP but always in the SP1 Version.

  Best regards

  Hello Henning

  It is very useful to know that 5200 Satellite can work well with the HDD. You will be very happy if someone has tested the limits of capacity of HARD disk with this device. It's that there is no official document on this subject.

  As far as I know the maximum capacity of the HARD drive depends on the BIOS and not the operating system. I heard that the hardware (specialized for the hardware upgrade) can manipulate BIOS to work with hard disks of high capacity.

  What is the maximum capacity of hard disks in this laptop?

• Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

  Hello

  The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

  Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

  Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrejs

  Hi Andrew

  > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
  I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
  This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

  I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
  To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
  In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
  So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

  I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
  HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
  HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2188B-> 80 GB
  HITACHI G8C0000Z610-> 60 GB
  HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2183-> 60 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2184-> 60 GB

  I hope this might help you a little!

• Equium L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
  I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

  I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

  I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

  Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.
  K

  Hello

  Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
  Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

  I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100

  Good bye

• Y at - it a maximum size of HARD drive internal to a Satellite Pro A120

  Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120?
  I tried a 320 HDD int Tosh and had problems with continuous boot.

  I have the BIOS update (March 08)

  > Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120
  Yes, I think so.
  The BIOS doesn't support all sizes of HARD drive!

  In my opinion, teething problems are associated with the large size of HARD drive and advise to use a smaller HARD drive.

• What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a pavilion d4790y desktop computer?

  What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?

  It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.

  The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  The version of the BIOS is 5.08.

  Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?

  Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

• Satellite L300D - 18 d - which hard drive I need to replace?

  Hi guys, my first post here.

  My girlfriend has a Toshiba Satellite L300D - 18 d and the hard side is now more and more corrupted so I want to buy a replacement drive, but I'm not sure what I need, the size is not as important as its only really used for word and the internet, but if you could point me in the right place I would be very grateful :)

  The number of the hard drive from the Device Manager is: wdc wd1200bevs-26usto, but that really doesn't mean anything to me.

  Thank you guys.

  Michael

  Hello

  > The number of the hard drive from the Device Manager is: wdc wd1200bevs-26usto, but that really doesn't mean anything to me.
  This model number means that is a Western Digital 120 GB HARD drive is installed. :)

  Satellite L300D supports SATA drives. This means that each size of HARD drive works and there is no limit of ability more.

  It is only important that you buy a SATA 2.5 HARD. Brand and the size is not important, because all the models/size will not work. Just buy a HARD drive where you can get a good offer. I guess 320 or 500 GB models have the best ratio cost-benefit for the moment. 50 euros should normally be sufficient for such a HARD drive.

• W500 has not detected a good size of HARD drive

  I am trying to picture a W500 using MDT 2010 Update 1.

  I have a 80 GB HARD drive installed (tried several different readers)

  MDT is set to partition the HARD drive to 100%

  The problem is that when it breaks and format the HARD drive, it does just 1 GB.

  I used FDISK to wipe the drive. I did even format a Partition BACK and only formatted FDISK 1 GB as well.

  Can someone help me with what would cause this?

  I can well image other PC (Desktop and laptop) and they are partitioned correctly. Just not this W500.

  I thought about it.

  There is actually an Intel Turbo Memory Module which is about 2 GB in size.

  All the software I was using was only to see that the module and not the HARD drive.

  I removed this module and then you can see the correct size of HARD drive.

• Maximum supported size of HARD drive for HP Elitebook 8440p Windows 7 Pro 64 bit runing

  Hello, I just bought a HP Elitebook 8440p "off lease" of Tigerdirect and seeks to upgrade the two memory (from 4 GB to 8 GB) and put in the eligible of the biggest HARD drive I can. Either a 512 GB SSD or a 1 TB WD hybrid WD BLACK2 (1 TB HDD / 120 GB SSD Combo drive in a single package!). I would like to see more large disk addressable by using Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS since I don't seem able to find this info on the web. HP offers only only a 256 GB SSD in its specifications. but I didn't know if it was do limitations of BIOS or availability at the time of production, even for the HARD drive to 512 GB.

  Also, I would like to know if 9.5 mm compliant Bay that it needs to be for the WD drive. Can't find that either, and while the new laptop has not yet happen, all measure exactly the same way regarding what works and what simply cannot be "cheated".

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and NO information to that effect would be Greatl appreciated!

  Essentially the reason why you do not have a maximum size of hard drive is because there is not everything. Between SATA and 64-bit OS', worrying about maximum size of hard drive is a thing of the past. Are the biggest readers found in the manual, as you suspected him, just a function of the market at the time of manufacture. It was a few years ago now, it is so understandable that the offerings were "at the time" more thin than now.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  Page 4-9 shows the procedure of the Bay and the replacement of the hard disk. The Bay is made for a 9.5 mm thickness 2.5-inch wide SATA hard but the new 7 mm readers also works. The black hybrid drive requires some software (included in the package) to treat the two drives in Windows and I read a modest amount of disappointment in the documentation about them. If you can afford the 512 GB SSD go in this direction and you will not be sorry. I use a Samsung 840 Evo and it has worked perfectly for me for almost 2 years and the most recent 850 I hear is even better.
