Satellite M30 - what compatible HARD drive can I use?

Hello

My Satellite M30 hard drive crashed (after 3 years of intensive use). I would like to replace it, but I don't know which drive is suitable (SATA, ATA 6... etc). The original for this computer hard disk is the MK6021GAP.

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.

  • What replacement hard drives can be used by the HPE - 480 t?

    I have a HPE - 480 t who had 2 Seagate 750 GB hard drives (7200.12) in a Raid 0 configuration.  A hard drive has stopped working.  I need to replace the two hard drives.  I'd rather have enough space to put 1.3 TB of data on one disc so I could put the new disks in RAID 1 (mirror).

    I ordered and installed two Segate 2 TB disks (7200.14).  When I use Symaantec System Recovery to recover a point of well known recovery (*.v2i) OR when I do a hand of WIndows 7 install, I get the material errors.  After restarting the machine after doing a system recovery, Windows starts in safe mode hangs at classpnp.sys.  A hand of Windows 7 installation error "Windows cannot be installed on this material.

    Please let me know what I can use to get this machine running hard drives!  I'm desperate!

    Thank you!

    A usb key with a lot more capacity can not be recognized as an option to boot your PC.

    Consider using a smaller in the range of 4 to 8 GB to create a Windows Installer with the download USB\DVD tool.

    Unfortunately, your PC is one of few wthat is a simulator of BIOS, I can't access.

    I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

    Hello

    Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

  • Satellite M30-604 - mechanical hard drive failure

    My satellite M30 604 is guaranteed (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hard drive crashed unexpectedly. The accident is probably mechanical, so I can't use data recovery software (makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD a specialist who will open in a 'white room' for something like 300-600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:

    -> Toshiba said that if I do that, the guarantee is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (100 euros)

    -> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba Gets the old drive and I lose my data forever!

    WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!

    (a) it's my data, my work and you CAN'T make me blackmailing you with such things 'warranty void. I want my old crushed drive back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10 hour work - someday is here!

    (b) Moreover even if the heads of the drive crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are always in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How toshiba (or any other company for that matter) asking me to give it to them?

    What should I do?
    What would you do?

    Hello
    I sympathize with your problem and can suggest only the following reflections:

    1. the recovery of your data seems the most important factor here. I suggest you to remove the HARD drive so that it can be sent to a specialist to retrieve data are possible.

    2. Since the removal of the disc HARD not not usually involves a broad dismantling of Notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HARD drive itself).

    3 replacement HARD drive can generally be obtained quite a beneficial one of internet sellers price (check using GOOGLE to a suitable replacement). You can then reinstall your OS recovery CD.

    4. I suggest investing in a bunch of backup software (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I had four replacement hard drives on my Satellite A30 in the past 12 months).

  • 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.

  • What HARD drive can I use Satellite A60-125

    Hello!
    I would like to know what type of hard drive I can install on my satellite A60 (Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz) to upgrade the original Hitachi 40 GB. Can I install a 160/200 GB 2.5 "of any type (brand, RPM, capacity,...) or there are some limitations of the bios? Thank you.

    Hello Ric

    There is unfortunately no public on this matter document because Toshiba does not support upgrade. Toshiba gives some info on built in hardware and also on the RAM max that can be used. Upgrade takes care of disk HARD authorized partner in your country, and they have exact information on this subject.

    Yes I think there is limitation in the BIOS, but I'm sure that you can use up to 100 GB HARD drive, maybe more, but as I said it is not easy to find info on any official page of Toshiba.

    If you are lucky someone will post here the news of A60 laptop upgrade. Until then try to contact find some information online. Google all over the place.

  • Satellite P200-13Z - upgrade the hard drive - can I use SATA II hard drives?

    I have a Satellite P200-13Z with simple standard Fujitsu 120 GB SATA hard drive. I want to change this to a RPM SATA II 250 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM drive. This interface SATA laptop does support SATA II? Thank you very much!

    Not your portable computer does not support SATA II.

    However, you can buy the SATA II hard drive and put it in your laptop. Only way to get it going is to restrict the new speed of SATA HDD, I accelerate. To do this is to introduce a jumper on the drive to restrict it to SATA I speeds up. Once it's done put in your laptop and viola, it works.

    Good luck, but I would like to get a toshiba technician to install it if its under warranty. It's for your own good, so you don't turn your laptop into a boat anchor.

  • Satellite M30-841 - large hard drive not recognized

    HY guys,.

    First of all, I want to say hello, because this is my first post in this forum. Merry Christmas as well!

    I am writing because I bought a 160 GB 2hard disk to replace my old 60 GB. When I troed to install it, I saw that it recognizes just 128 GB which, according to my research, is due to the LBA 48 bit not supported on my laptop (Satellite M30-841).

    I tried to everythingmentioned:
    -J' have flash Bios o update the 1.70 (last available driver toshiba Web site)
    -J' changed the downloaded XP SP3 and I changed the registry to install a key DWORD EnableBigLba.

    However, she still recognizes only 128 GB. I'm losing hope to install the new hard drive. Anyone of you has a suggestion that I should try?

    I realized that I should update the driver of my motherboard, but I don't know where they are, if there is (I don't even know the name of it, despite the use of everest - which shows DMI.

    Am I missing something?

    Thank you very much

    Icemaster

    Look, man.
    The HARD disk controller seems to support the 28-bit LBA.
    The disk controllers HARD supporting the 28-bit LBA address max 128 GB HDD.
    Controllers HDD support 48-bit LBA address bigger hard drives.
    But this is a physical limitation and you will not resolve this update anything.

    In your case, there is nothing to see

  • Equium A110-252: which HARD drive can I use for an upgrade

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Equium A110-252 with a 60 GB hard drive.
    I have left of a few GB and the need to expand the hard drive.

    I don't know what type or size would be compatible with my laptop.
    In addition, it would be the reason for all my applications running very slowly?

    Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Equium A110 is very similar to the Satellite A110 and two portable computers should support the same kind of HARD drive.
    As I m not wrong not you need a SATA 2.5 HARD.

    If the laptop supports the 60 GB then use the 80 or 100 GB should be possible also.

  • Tecra S1 - size HARD drive can I use

    Hello

    I have a Tecra S1 and looking to upgrade the hard drive because it is only the 30 GB model.
    I found the HDD compatible in terms of size, but my question was if there was a restriction on the ability of the HARD drive, or I can go to any size I want?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks Chris

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra is supported by the IDE HDD controller and you have the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
    I guess that the IDE controller supports ATA-100 standard and therefore the LBA48bit would be too pressed and this means that you can use hard disks of more than 120 GB.

    But if the ATA-5 controller / LBA28bit ATA/66 only then would be sustained and in this case, you can only use the 120 GB HARD drive as a larger size.
