• Re: Satellite L650 / 07C - HDD (Hard Drive Impact Sensor) shock protection system

  I just bought a Satellite L650 / 07C. When I bought it from the dealer, I was under the impression that this model came with the function disk hard drive shock protection system (hard drive Impact sensor).
  I ran the Toshiba PC Health Monitor application, but it seems not to have this function - it gives me the power settings, Temp and fan are monitored, as well as a status of hard disk drive, but nothing on the disk hard drive shock anti-siphoning (hard drive Impact sensor).

  Under my file utilities Toshiba HDD SSD Alert application that shows the same icon as the one I saw in the reseller on their Toshiba Satellite when they did there evidence the shock protection system. I ran this application, but it gives me just a status message that the drive works properly.

  Could someone please confirm with certainty whether the model I have this feature.

  Thank you very much.

  Everything goes well with your laptop. I made a screenshot and uploaded to show you:

• 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 A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
  HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

  1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

  2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
  This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
  As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
  Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

  But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

  > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
  You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

• 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.

• Satellite P750 - 10 c: HARD drive slows down - Sandy Bridge Cougar problem?

  Hello

  I have problem with my notebook Satellite P750 - 10 c with S/N: 4B478828K.
  When I enabled AHCI in the BIOS, computer slows diametrically, day after day was worste and worste, so I tried to change from AHCI to IDE and it helped a little, but is still not good.

  I tried to restore my system, but it did not help.
  I read that Intel has released a version tapped for Sandy Bridge chipset, I have (HM65) SATA 3Gbs problem (I just checked in HD Tune and HARD drive is connected to the port of 3Gbs), so I think I got bugged version.

  My laptop is not guaranteed, but Intel said they changed valid version, so where do I return my phone to fix.

  Kind regards
  Tomek

  > I read that Intel launched buggy version of the chipset for Sandy Bridge.
  The problem was a Cougar Point of Sandy Bridge chipset and not the main processor Sandy Bridge.

  In addition Intel said that this issue affected only the SATA 2 to 5 and not ports 0 and 1.
  Most laptops use only two devices SATA (HDD/SSD and ODD) using the affected ports 0 and 1.
  That is why I think that your problem could be linked to the issue of Cougar Point the Sandy Bridge chipset.

  By the way: not all Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets have been affected.

  Regarding your question:
  Usually if AHCI is enabled, the HARD drive must use the performance of SATA. If compatibility mode, the HARD drive would go at the speed of the IDE.
  I think your problem is perhaps related to the problem drive HARD and not Intel problem.

• 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.

• Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

  Hi all!

  Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

  I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

  What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
  The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

  Can someone help me?

  I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

  Thank you!!!

  If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
  Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
  On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
  > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

  But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
  Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.

• Satellite A60 - 102 - what HARD drive is possible

  What capacity of hard drive used in this laptop

  Hello

  Satellite A60 is a little older series and I think that the laptop supports the IDE HDD controller
  Perhaps the HARD disk controller support for only 28 bit LBA, which means that only 128 GB would be recognized by the BIOS.

  I think a 120 GB HDD should work but I'm not sure if the biggest hard drives would be supported due to mentioned m 28-bit LBA

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Re: Satellite C850 unbootable - broken HARD drive

  Hello people,

  I bought a * Toshiba Satellite C850 - 1F2 * with * + Windows 8 + *.
  After installation, the upgrade to * + Windows 8.1 + * and setting up everything, the whole machine worked well enough.

  BUT since yesterday, the laptop no longer starts!
  When I turn it on, the HARD drive is click and click and the system tries to boot from DVD, USB, HARD drive, IPv4, IPV6, and then he said, that there is no boot device.

  Unfortunately, I tried to do the + restore Windows 8 - backup - DVD + this weekend!
  Huh!

  Well, I have one more * + Windows-7-DVD original and license + *, which would be good as well (I used it in recent years).
  * YET *, I can't install * + Windows 7 + *.
  He says something like that, that this system is not available for Secure Boot +.

  I read about 'Secure Boot'.
  So I pressed F2, turned on the laptop and managed with this BIOS.
  It's a * + InsydeH20 Rev 3.7 + *.
  * BUT *, when I go to "Boot Mode" I don't see myself, this option is grayed out and I cannot change the UEFI Boot + to ++ CSM Boot +.

  Even changing the HARD drive made no difference.
  I put in my old HDD with Windows 7 installed (which works in the other laptop), but the system does not start, because it is + not suitable for Secure Boot +.

  * Then, of WHAT NOW? *
  I mean, we can't really politics of Toshiba, you need to take your laptop, if the HARD drive breaks, it can?
  Because I create the rescue-DVD, I just my DVD of Windows 7 and an another HARD drive and installed Windows 7.

  I have to buy another license of Windows 8 and an another disk to reinstall Windows 8 (suitable for Secure Boot)?
  Would it even work like that?
  Or is it possible to upgrade the BIOS for it, I can then change boot UEFI to CSM Boot?
  Or is there another chance, to use my other HDD with Windows 7, or at least a new HARD clean disk, on which I can then install my Windows 7 operating system?

  I hope someone can give me good advice, what to do now... without throwing the Toshiba laptop ;)

  Thanks in advance!

  > I hope that someone can give me good advice, what to do now... without throwing the Toshiba laptop
  Let's start with this sentence. You must not throw your laptop. There's always a last stage that can be done and in your case, you can contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
  This model of laptop is fairly new, so I can imagine that the warranty is still valid, so I think you should contact the service and ask if you can get a new HARD drive for free. I mean why not if the warranty is still valid.

• Satellite Pro A120-128 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I'm seriously exhausted on HARD disk space and want to upgrade my HARD drive in my Satellite Pro A120 128. Is there a maximum size that I can update? This model takes SATA or IDE?
  Any suggestions on make & model disk HARD upgrade to?

  THX!

  Normally it should not be a problem to use a HARD drive this lager s like 137 GB because as much as I know there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface.
  But as said Akuma, test it before buying this drive.

  However, an IDE HDD does not fit in this notebook

  Can someone hep me on this subject? By the way, is - it complicated to replace the hard drive on this computer?

  Thank you

  Use the advanced search of this forum and you will get several results with different threads on the same topic.
  The replacement is not difficult. At the bottom f the unit, you will find a HARD drive Bay. Armand, remove the cover and cut the shape of the disk of the controller. But be careful.
