Satellite Pro A100-001 - maximum capacity of a hard drive supported?

I tried looking for the Board of Directors and the Toshiba site, but have not yet found the answer. Please bear with me if the question has been answered elsewhere.

I bought an old A100 on eBay - it seems to work fine, but it has a 40 GB hard drive (not standard).

Enter the serial number on the Toshiba support site reveals the machine to be an A100-001.

I can implement it using a SATA drive.

Anyone know if I could go to a 320 GB drive, or if there is a limit to the capacity of hard disk supported in this model?

Hello

If that s SATA HARD drive controller then you should be able to use the 320 GB HARD drive and more
As much as I know the SATA controller has no limitations, and therefore, it should be possible to use these larger sizes of hard drives.

Hope I could help you.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

    HI - new here. I have a:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
    Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

    It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

    Thank you.

    Hi Lapitup,

    Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

    Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, there is no limitation of the capacity of the HARD disk since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support over 400GB.

  • Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

    What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

    Hi turboiwan,

    As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

    For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 jumps down and now demand HARD drive password

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. I have some problems when you access the Internet; When I start the Internet, there is no problem, but when MSN messenger start the laptop goes down and I have to turn off manually the laptop. This would be a kind of firewall?

    Last Sunday, this problem occurred when using Skype; But now the computer has completely collapsed. The system first asked "inserting a disc system. I didn't know what they meant, so I turned off the computer a few times manually to see if it would disappear.

    When I turn on the laptop, Windows will not start upward and the system asks a black screen "the password HARD drive". Does anyone know what this means and where I can find it? And means that my laptop is dead, or am I able to fix? Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I know, it's the HARD drive password cannot be deleted.
    If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t know the password for the HARD drive, then you will not be able to use the HARD drive more. :(

  • What is the maximum capacity of the hard drive replacement for L702x xps17

    I have a Dell xps17 702 x with service NOTE from the ADMINtag: maintain the label removed according to the rules of confidentiality > and get warnings from the race. More disk space. I had hoped 2x500GB tthat would be enough, but photos and your music take up much space.

    What is the largest capacity of hard drives that I can put in my laptop? I would also change the boot disk for one SSD.  I looked on the Dell site for my service tag, and it offers only 640GB HDD 500 GB SSD, which is not sufficient. I can't find anything that tells me if there is a theoretical maximum capacity.  For example, I could put a 2 TB drive in?

    Fits all current portable players that will be physically the system will work - to the 2 t the only drive that will fit is the Seagate/Samsung Spinpoint M9T.  It's the 2 only 9.5 mm t there.  All other readers 2 t (and especially more than 1 t) is 12.5 mm or more large drives that will not fit in the system.

  • Re: Tecra A7 - what is the maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

    Hi all

    Is there any BIOS, hardware limitation of a hard drive replacement for Toshiba Tecra A7? I'm looking to install 500 GB hard drive. Will it work?

    Thank you
    Matt

    Hello

    As I know there is no limit of capacity on the HARD disk for Tecra A7 already has a SATA interface and a controller for the HARD drive.

    So, theoretically, 500 GB should work fine, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

    But you could give us a feedback here, how it works with 500 GB! ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE: cannot install the ATI display driver

    Hi all

    I experienced a series of problems with my card graph Mobility Radeon X 1400 that I'm sure that can be resolved by downloading the latest drivers. What I have to do on the Toshiba site like the ATI site offers no support for it. But I've known several problems to download the file archive.

    He always says that there is an error: 'error header... ". (missing or corrupted) "and he asks me to redownload the file, I did this three times now, with the same results, I'm starting to get a little frustrated - can someone + please help. I noticed that the file downloaded (and useless) is smaller (by more than 50%) than the expected size - I don't know if this helps all the...

    Preemptive thanks if you can help me with this problem.

    Hello

    What to say I noticed that drivers download server is very slow. Resembles overload eventually all packages have not passed correctly and so this error message is displayed.
    I know that this could be very frustrating and I really understand you because I tried to download the other driver and performance is really slow, but I put t see any other solution than to try to re-download the graphic driver package

  • Satellite Pro L300 - new partition after Exchange of HARD drive sizes

    Under 'Vista' with a 120 GB hard drive and needs space.

    Bought a 500 GB SATA drive. I'm afraid that the recovery software will set the new drive with a 50-50 Partition. This is the case or it will allocate 50 GB to E: / and the rest to C: /?

    As the manual States that if I change the size of the partition the recovery software will not re - install in the future?

    Hello

    As I know the Toshiba Recovery disk always allocates 50% disk space for each partition. This means that the 500 GB drive you have two partitions with ~ 250 GB of disk space on each partition.
    If not or you want to change something, you can use the Windows disk management tool:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7101OB0006R01.htm

    I think the manual means that you can use t more the procedure for recovery of HARD disk if you change the size of the partition.
    But with the Toshiba disk recovery you are on the safe side and so you can always restore the factory settings every time. :)

    This laptop is any size 2.5 "hard drive? Dream of a disk of 7 200 > ~ 100 GB or greater. It has only a fairly slow 40 GB 5400 installed at present.
    Also, what type is in these L20 PATA or SATA?

    Hello

    I studied a bit and it seems that the laptop supports a HARD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB disk size.
    I advise to use disks hard speed 5400 RPM and no 7200 RPM due to the temperature of production
    Additional cell phone supports a serial ATA (SATA) interface.

    The drives as:
    MHV2100AH 100 GB
    MHV2080AH 80 GB
    MHV2060AH 60 GB

    Data transfer is supported by the speed of 475 Mbit/s and a transfer rate of 100 MB/s (Mode Ultra DMA) interface

    Hope that my small list of information will help you...
