• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• Fusion drive vs 7200 RPM HARD drive, it is worth the difference in price?

  I have the beginning 2009 24 "clocked at 2.66 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo w/4 GB memory.  I have 86 GB of capacity, 83 GB available on my hard drive but I get these days, turn the beach balls, delayed typing, and 5-6 min restarts (if it does not crash).

  (1): I started in recovery mode, run Disk Utility first aid on the three volumes that I configured and also to perform first aid on my external HD backup and time Machine external HD to ensure that those to external systems were functioning properly.  They are.

  (2) I ran Disk Warrior on all volumes and Cocktail on bootable disks.

  So... is probably time to let decision-making in early 2009 iMac.  Looking at the new, I wonder if the 27 "1 TB drive merger is worth the difference in price of the 1 TB 7200 RPM HARD drive?  I only do the usual things: mail, loading some photos (about 12 000 photos in iPhoto), web searches, etc.  No big, heavy use.

  It the additional sum of $200. Fusion drive worth it?

  For this purpose? N °

• New HDD in my Dell INSPIRON N5010 laptop, will I go to 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM HARD drive

  I bought the DELL N5010 laptop about 4 years back, and currently it is more under warranty.
  2 days back my hard drive crashed and could not start or install the OS as there are bad sectors on the hard drive has. I plan to buy a new hard drive.

  Which one should I go for a 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM. I would go to 7200 RPM, as it is faster, but I read on the internet that the 7200 RPM generates more heat then 5400 RPM and my laptop is already facing heating problem. I had replaced the fan about 2 months as my laptop used to close because of the heat. The problem of heating has not changed, but laptop does not stop :)

  Anyone using the DELL N5010 laptop with a 7200 RPM HARD drive and he's fine?

  Any kind of recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Sach

  Thanks for the recommendation. The sales in the shop man also recommended the same thing. I bought Seagate 5200 SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drives) which is still better than the conventional hard drive. :)

  Kind regards

• Someone at - it problems of heat upgrade to a 7200 RPM HARD drive in a MacBook Pro 13,3 "2.5 GHz Core i5 (A1278) - mid-2012, MD101LL/A?

  HI - it would be an update of the stock 5400 RPM, 500 GB HARD drive. The 7200 drive I bought is 1 TB.  Thanks in advance for any help!

  As long as it's a SATA HDD with a 2.5 form factor ", it will be compatible.  You experience a slight increase in performance with the faster HARD drive, but it will not appear in 50% faster than the 5400 RPM HARD drive.

  Ciao,.

  Addendum: There will be no observable heat problems.  I did it several times myself on all of my 4 Mbps.

• Satellite L670 - 1 DG-can I use a 7200 RPM HARD drive?

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite L670 - 1 DG (out of warranty) and I would change the HARD 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM drive.
  It is technically possible on this machine? Is is necessary to use a Toshiba HDD (or open)?

  Thanks for your replies.
  Laurent

  Of course, you can use and must not be Toshiba HDD.
  The only thing that can happen is that this HARD drive fastest heat producing a bit more where the HARD drive is placed can so be a little warmer than usual.

  All that s.

• Is it safe to install a 7200 RPM hard drive in a laptop that originally contained a 5400 RPM HDD?

  Hello.  First of all, I didn't know where to post this, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.  Recently, the hard drive on my Toshiba Satellite is dead and I'm new.  I wonder if it is safe replace the dead 5400 RPM hard disk provided with the machine with a new hard drive 7200 RPM.  A few friends told me that it is perfectly safe, while others told me they burn out and possibly damage to my laptop.  What think you of all?  Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

  It is perfectly safe and preferable.  If you are going to spend more than $100 you can think of a SSD drive, if your computer is new enough (not XP or vista era) to benefit from.

• Satellite A80-135 and the hard drive upgrade

  Hello, I saw a dealer offed: Trekstore 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM ide, he could work on my laptop Satellite A80-135?
  Thanks in advance.

  I m not 100% sure, but I think this old Satellite phone has old HDD with IDE bus master, so it can be upgraded up to 120 GB only.

• Equium A60 sees no 80 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  My Equium PSA67E has the latest version of the Bios 1.90. It comes with a 40 GB hard drive.

  When I did it I replaced it with a 80 GB seagate momentus 7200 RPM drive. This is fine for about 6 months. Recently I started to laptop and it does not recognize the 80 GB seagate drive?

  If I put the disc in the event of external drive I can write and read. It works very well in 2 of my friends laptops; but my own bios do not now recognize!

  I tried the PC world where I bought it and they can't operate in this laptop. What could change? Now only the old 40 GB drive, not happy :(

  Any suggestion is welcome.

  Hello

  In my view, there could be either a bad connection between the HARD drive and the controller or there is something wrong with the motherboard for laptop

  Have you tried to insert another disc (for example the old 40 GB HARD drive) HARD to check the functionality of the Board and the HARD disk controller?
  Please do it.

• DV5220us will not identify Seagate 500 GB Sata 7200 RPM hard drive XP

  Hello

  Upgrade the internal HD on my DV5220us of the standard 120 GB drive at 5400 RPM to a 500 GB drive at 7200 RPM and I have problems with the laptop recognize the drive. I did a ghost of the 120 GB image and then put the image on the 500 GB. When I install the 500 GB drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it. booting with the XP cd does not recognize the drive either. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, 24 I think, stll nothing. If I use cables and connect the 500 GB as a slave drive, he sees very well and it works. If I take the 500 GB and install in my Lenovo T61, it starts fine. No idea why the DV5220us does not recognize the HD Seagate 500 GB Sata 7200 RPM? Thank you!

  T

  No one gave me an explanation to the problem. I'm actually advise to stick with a 320 GB 5400 RPM drive 500 GB 5400 RPM drives because have also been reported to cause problems. I'm sorry.

• Satellite P20-504: memory and HARD drive upgrades

  Hello world

  I have an OG (Original giant) P20-504.

  Friday the 13th (seriously!), my hard drive is dead, thankfully I had a recent backup.

  I need some recommendations: -.

  (1) best to buy 80 GB drive.
  (2) I want to improve my memory, that can use? (2048MB is the target)
  (3) the modular drive of 2 adapters can still be purchased
  (4) no adapters only allow you to add a 2.5 inch drive?

  In addition, anyone who has any point of view on how the P20 (mine has a 3.2 GHZ processor) will take care of Vista? I think that the graphics card may be a little wussy.

  Also, how the P20 to compare with today's machines?

  Hi Richard

  I m in the same situation as you.
  I want to install Vista on my old A50, but it has not been possible because of the 25 MB of ram. I have upgraded to 512 MB to I hope it's going to market.
  Of course, the graphics card is not very fast, but I think that the operating system should run. I think you should also be able to install the Vista if the laptop supports 512MB min.

  In any case, ask the best 80 GB HARD disk. I advise to use a cache of 8 MB 5200mrp HDD. This should work.
  PS: I had a HARD drive a week ago headcrash. Very stupid situation. I bought a 60 GB HARD drive because I wasn't sure if the larger HARD drive will work on my old laptop.

  Memory you can upgrade up to 2048 MB (2 x 1024) and the module of PC2100 DDR - RAM is compatible

  Good bye

• Considering a new 7200 RPM hard drive

  1I? I have a video on my laptop.

  5400 RPM does very well now, but 80 GB is getting crowded. I want a bigger drive. Do I need a faster drive as well?

  What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing a 7200 RPM drive in a ThinkPad R6?

  Choose with care. I didn't notice much difference between 5400 and 7200 RPM power consumption drives, but this last run a little warmer.

  If you can afford it, go with a Seagate.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite A100 - 003 (PSAARE) - disk HARD help upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit installed and 3 GB of RAM 667 MHz.
  I want to spend my hard drive. But I don't know which model is most suitable for my computer.

  There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?

  If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.

  Thank you.

  > There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  > What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?
  The 7200 RPM drive is faster than the or 5400 RPM HARD drive. This allows read and write faster data on the HARD drive, but to be honest; in most cases, this difference is not noticeable

  > If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  No, normally you should not get any problem the two type of HARD drive are compatible with laptops

  > If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.
  To be honest, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive. The SATA controller is not limited to a capacity of HARD drive that you can take any disk of your choice

• The RAM and HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I put my laptop, at level

  8.1 Windows 64-bit, Intel Core i7-4700MP @ 2.40 GHz

  Currently 12 GB of Ram - 8 GB & 4 GB Kingston DDR3

  Currently 1 TB Toshiba HDD
  http://storage.Toshiba.EU/CMS/en/HDD/computing/product_detail.jsp?ProductID=409

  I'm looking to upgrade the 4 GB of RAM to a 8 GB, I just don't know how many pins each room has. Any guidance where to find this without disassembling the machine would be very handy! -I think it's a 204pin?

  Also looking to add a second hard drive on my machine, what is the maximum size that can take this laptop? Ideally I'd like an another 1 TB HDD (same brand) than my current. Is this possible? Then the hard drives of 1 TB overprinting two system?

  EDIT: Is it possible to have the other as an SSD? Although that can't really benefits to have as a slave instead of a master drive.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Manual - Page 2

  Plug

  RAM: Yes, 204pin SODIMM SDRAM desired. You can buy the memory stick to the exact configuration & preference even brand that is already installed on your computer laptop & listed in the service manual, so that it works correctly.

  Configuration of the RAM: 8 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz PC3L-12800 1.35v SODIMM SDRAM

  Run this tool to know the configuration & Details of RAM already installed.

  Page 51 details the procedure of replacement, fairly simple.

  HDD: According to the manual, it has double drive HARD support. You can put another 1 TB 2.5 inch 9.5 mm SATA HDD. You can buy additonal material of hard drive Kit (HP PRTs number: 720237-001) to install on secondary Bay for data storage.

  I would have preferred a faster 7200 RPM HARD drive with the cache higher like this , if you want more storage.

  Alternatively, you can replace the current HDD with SSD of similar form factor (2.5 inches SATA 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick) and make as boot drive by moving the drive toward SSD HARD integer before replacement & put old HDD to secondary storage Bay. SSD would defintely thrust upward performance drastically, but they are expensive - I would say worth the cost.

  Page 48-50 details the replacement procedure. Its relatively simple to do.
