Satellite L50-A-19N - HARD disk controller is not compatible SATA 3

Hello.

I have a model of L50-a-19n satellite.
The hard drive it is HGST Travelstar 5 K 1000 750 GB, SATA 6 Gbps (HTS541075A9E680/0J22412).

On Web site of the manufacturer and as Aida64 diagnostic software the hard drive is named SATA-III 600 MB/s.

But when I run the Crystaldiskinfo software or simillar, it is said that the taken and current transfer mode supported SATA/300.
Why is it like that?

Is this some sort of software limmitation?
In the Bios, I turned on the performance mode.

HARD drive supports SATA 6 Gbit/s, but the portable controller is probably limited to SATA II (3 Gb/s)

If the HARD disk controller does not support SATA III, HARD drive performance will be limited.

  • Clasps to satellite L50-A-19N - hard drive

    Hello

    I own Satellite L50-A-19N, seen the question I sometimes hear a clap louder or the series of several shots of the laptop.

    Probably, it comes out hard drive.
    If I find SMART for internal HD() is no problematic interest, record Cdystaldiskinfo status is evaluated as being healthy.

    However the occasional claps don't look too normal for me, never heard these and with such a volume of my previous computers.

    Is this potential precursors disc collapse?
    The laptop is not too old, about eight months only.

    I guess that this noise is coming from the HARD drive.

    I had a HARD drive (as far as I can remember it was at Hitachi) in the past who created similar clicking sound.
    But the HARD drive worked properly.

    However, I created a backup of my important files in case the HARD drive would be crashed.

  • Satellite L50 - PSKJNR - update of the BIOS is not compatible

    Hello.

    Finally, you set a BIOS update driver on your site (a few days ago it was cracked).

    I was so happy that started to read manuals on bios recovery (because I'm really scared of BIOS update). But for some reason I need a newer version of the BIOS (to disable the video card and bluetooth adapter).

    Well, I started the file and got: "error. The bios is not for your PC"why? I am sure, I have chosen a correct version of the laptop!

    Hoping for an answer.
    Mike.

    Hello

    Do you have something on your laptop or it turns with the factory system pre-installed?
    From my own experience such BIOS error message may appear due to some missing essential Toshiba software. For example using Win 7 added value package is required. To help to win 8 Toshiba System Driver must be installed.

  • Satellite L50-A-19N - sound doesn't work sometimes

    Hello

    I am currently the owner of a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-19N and the sound does not work sometimes.

    When I play an audio file or a video or same file while playing a video from YouTube, works well for a while and then suddenly it stops.
    When that happens, his is always recognized the system because you can see in the volume control, but no sound from my speakers.
    The same thing also happens when I connect my external audio interface (M - Audio Fast Track USB).

    I use Windows 8.1
    Please help me, because I use my Toshiba mainly for music production and play.

    > When that happens, his is always recognized the system because you can see in the volume control, but no sound from my speakers.

    Have you tried to connect a headset while this problem occurs?
    Please check.

    In addition, you must uninstall the audio driver installed.
    Then you must reboot the laptop and after installing the audio driver (you can get it from the page of the Toshiba driver) once again.

    Finally and above all, you said that you are using an external audio interface.
    I m not quite sure all these software but it might be possible that these additional 3rd party software could affect the internal sound card / driver. This should be checked as well.

    If possible I recommend you test the laptop without these 3 tools/software audio

    Hello

    I notebokk Toshiba Satellite L300-01:00

    My HD is broken and I would like to replace this HD SSD.
    This phone supports 2 SATA or SATA 3.

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    If you are the owner of the Satellite L300-01:00 should not be a big problem to get details and information about devices built in the notebook.

    I recommend you to install one of the two material great diagnostic tools which are:
    Everest Home Edition
    Sandra Sisoft.
    These two tools were recommended by the members of different communities and I love it too.

    These tools provide a lot of information on the material and I guess you get also information about the properties of HARD disk controller.

  • Help to find the driver on the Satellite A200 (PSAE6) HARD disk controller

    Greetings. This text has been written through a translation program, to try to understand :)

    Problem:
    My friend bought a few days back to herself TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (PSAE6) where it has been established operating system Windows Vista Home. He asked me to change OS on Windows XP Pro. With the first problem I have consulted - have deleted Vista, but to set up XP is not possible due to the absence of the HARD disk controller driver in the OS distribution kit. Windows Installer cannot find the HARD drive. I read that it is necessary to load the driver during Setup, press the F6 key. But a problem I can't find the driver in that.

    We have no disk with drivers that should go with a computer and therefore it is necessary to search independently on the Internet. On the Toshiba site to locate the pilot, it was not possible. Then I came to the Intel site and download "RAID/AHCI - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager» After unpacking I got only «infinst_autol.exe» archive

    Question:
    Where can I download this driver (not a "EXE" format) that can be used during the installation of Windows XP?
    PS: a chipset - Intel PM965 Express

  • Re: Satellite Pro L - Eventviewer displays HARD disk controller error

    I've had problems for at least two months, with slowing down, freezing same blueys etc. and eventviewer tells me that I have a HARD disk controller error. Now when I check the device it tells me - as do the dealers - work correctly, but after a chkdsk problem erases only coming later. My Toshiba characteristic of diagnosis does not work so I can't check without the use of a third-party application which I am very reluctant to do.

    I am now lost for what to do given my position of dealers who fell to something I've done / downloaded etc. All the world has any ideas on how I can get my diag back function or other than eventviewer / chkdsk to identify what's wrong?

    The machine is only 10 months with 500HDD core i5, 4 GB of RAM under Windows 7 Professional and Kasersky Pure as my ISS. I use it for general use at home and the little that is worrrying me is that even though my previous Toshiba had a HARD drive crash and had to be replaced - I might have to do a factory default or worse go format and just load a new OS on or get the drive HARD replaced at my expense ($450 last time). The drive is a Toshiba MK5055GSX and looking around locally can not see where we could be contained--if I have to.

    It has become a nightmare, and even if I took an additional guarantee that feeling of time will run out before that I get something on this subject.
    Any help would be so appreciated.

    Hi johndragon46,

    I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but the fact is if the Eventviewer indicates an error of HARD disk controller it can be both: HARD drive itself or HDD motherboard controller.

    You wrote that your laptop is only 10 months old then why n t contact you authorized service provider? Your laptop should still be under warranty and that means an ASP can fix your computer laptop free time guaranteed.

    By the way: list of authorized service providers, you can find on the official website of Toshiba

    Good luck! :)

  • Maximum external resolution for Satellite L50-A-19N (PSKK6E)

    Hello

    What is the maximum resolution supported by this laptop to an external output (provided with HDMI Cable DVI)
    To sum up, the laptop contains Intel HD 4600 and GPU from NVIDIA GT 740 M

    To extend my question:
    How can I find the version HDMI of this notebook and how to evaluate if the laptop will produce a good refresh (60 Hz +) to graduate to Full HD resolutions?

    External resolution depends on the graphics card as well as the interface.
    The Satellite L50-A-19N plug provide next Note:

    Maximum external video modes:
    Maximum resolution: 2 048 x 1 536
    Maximum refresh rate: 100 Hz
    resolution No interlaced with a maximum refresh rate: 1,600 x 1 200
    Output HDMI support 1080 p format

    The GT740M that is used in this notebook NVIDIA GeForce takes in charge the following resolutions:
    EDP LCD 1.2 support - up to 3840 x 2160
    LCD LVDS support - up to 1920 x 1200
    Analog VGA display Support - up to 2048 x 1536

  • Satellite L50-A-19N: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (igdkmd64.sys)

    Greetings, on portable Satellite L50-A-19N (GT 740 M + i HD 4600), I get this BSOD more often than occasional crash (~ ~ once a day).
    Driver name, I guess it's GPU problem (or GPU driver software).

    After installing the latest graphics graphic drivers dedicated, and integrated Intel HD Graphics 15.36.21.64.4222, Geforce 353.06 WHQL, this problem persists for about a year, however in the last few weeks in high intensity.

    Mobile home is connected only to external LCD for output (via original HDMI 1. 4A, audio HDMI cable activated, resolution 2560x1440@60Hz). Also, using the official monitor of the manufacturer driver (it's just INF file).

    I don't know if it's a software driver or card/GPU mother/HW failure problem. Eventually can be caused by bad HDMI Cable or display panel (?).

    I have clues to find the source of the problem and take the next steps to remove the problem, thanks in advance for any relevant info.

  • How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

    Hello

    I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

    I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

    -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

    . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

    is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

    Thank you

    Johan

    Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

    If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

    Hard drives fail for two reasons...

    1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
    2. The spindle motor breaks down.

    The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

    Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

    If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

  • Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

    Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
    I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

    So what size I can up to?
    I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
    I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

    I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
    a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

    Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

    Thank you in advance!

    Denise.

    Hi mate

    First he must know that this question have been posted a lot of time in the forum.
    If you want to use the search option, then you will find this thread for example:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=68287

    Is the M40X series supports the IDE controller and I think that you need a 2.5 IDE HDD.
    The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
    However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

  • Satellite A-P70-11V - HARD disk protection works without accelerometer?

    Hi all

    I'm new here.
    I did another post. In short, I'm expert enough in Toshiba Satellite laptops, but my new, Satellite P70-A-11V, a portable high professional range, had some problems. It came with Windows 8, which I upgraded to 8.1. Unfortunately, the degraded system so bad that all pendrives made plant. I have connected my Toshiba camcorder, and it also crashed the laptop.

    The search indexing was not working outside the C: drive. The pointer of an optical mouse has started to freeze for seconds on the screen.
    This last I believe was due to the low power USB ports.

    So, I really had no choice after 2 restorations system total and installed Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 SP1. Operating system almost seems ok, but I still have problems, and one of them is that but I'm trying to install the accelerometer utilities, there is no driver.

    I tried that Windows 8 x 64, but just, it does not appear on the list of services.

    I found that the utility of the HARD disk protection was also arrested, I searched this forum and someone said that the Intel Rapid Storage technology must be uninstalled. I did and my HDD is running... but I don't know if it's effective!

    I remember with the 8.1 Windows, the utility always shown a message on the upper right: Vibration is detected, the drive is temporarily closed, etc..

    She has been associated with some high tone sound indicating that the drive has been effectively stopped. Now I can shake it off the laptop, but no message appears, there is no sound.

    I checked all the boxes on the interface of protection of HARD drive to indicate if there are vibrations, but so far nothing. The drive protection is in place and running, but in the absence of use of the accelerometer, the protection of disk HARD just don't know when to act.

    Am I wrong? Can Toshiba fix this?

    All responses are greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Toshiba drivers and tools available to win 8 or 8.1 to win are not entirely comparable with Toshiba available for Win 7 OS software.
    Some drivers and tools that are available to win 8 don t exist for the Win 7 system.

    For example; commercial accelerometer or HDD Protection Utility released in particular to win 8 / Win system 8.1 and are not available for Win 7.

    But for Win 7, you can find the Toshiba VAP (value added package) and this package installs a range of important services that are an essential component of the Windows system and this PPV will perform the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

    Therefore, you must install the VAP as Toshiba's first tool to ensure that other software such as HDD/SSD Alert Utility or PC Health Monitor

    Hello

    Did you use the FAT32 or NTFS?
    I use partition Magic 8 to do and to manage the partitions on the HARD disk.
    In my opinion, you should try this program. I think that using the PM8 you will get the total size of the HARD drive.
