SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

Hello world

I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

All responses appreciated.

Thank you.

Greg.

Hello

I think that it should be possible.
You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

    Wait a minute of traditional knowledge. You confused me completely. All the drivers, tools and utilities are available on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Sorry, but I must ask you something: what exactly is your problem? As you can see he is also classified document called Instructions of facilities. All you need to do is install it using the order of good facilities. Have you ever done this?

    BTW: Have you installed WXP including SP2?

  • HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

    Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

    The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

    PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
    PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

    You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

    All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
    Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

    I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
    Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
    Buffer size: 8 MB
    Number of discs: 2
    Number of Heads: 4

  • What cable lock to buy for Satellite Pro P200?

    I have this laptop: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-P200-1K9/145669/

    On the card it says it has a slot for a kensington lock cable, but I can't find the tab compatible options to buy a lock.
    The research generally on the Toshiba site for the cable locks, none of them are listed as being compatible with my particular model.

    Can you help me find the right type it please?

    I'm not 100% sure, but these cables are not designed separately for each laptop brand and you should visit the nearest PC store. I'm sure that you will find this cable here.

    Ask your local Distributor on this subject.

  • Secondary hard drive for Satellite Pro P200-1DV

    As I know the second HARD drive update is not possible because there is no available connectors. The universal laptop Briefcase belongs and it will be used for all models of laptops P200 and some of them come with 2 hard drives.

    I hope that you know very well that your laptop is about 5 years old and you must not be surprised if you don't find this oldie listed on the actual page of Toshiba. ;)

    In any case, I found the information to follow:
    -your laptop can handle with max 1 GB Ram and compatible module are PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25) and in PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)
    -compatible Wireless LAN Card Kit is with the PA3212U-1MPC part number

    If you need wireless network adapter to transfer data faster, you can use the USB or PCMCIA card.

    Hello

    I guess that the support of the Satellite Pro P200 4pol firewire (IEEE 1394) port.
    Your external audio device supports firewire 6pol ports.
    That's why you need a cable or an adapter which favour both standards firewire; 4pol and 6pol

    I think a cable like this should help you connect audio devices for satellite Pro P200

  • Can I downgrade my Satellite Pro P200 for Windows XP?

    Hello

    I bought my Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7E) a week ago and I love it. I have an unused XP license, so I would like to downgrade.

    Is this problem? I don't see xp for a Chicony webcam drivers or the HD-DVD player.
    I'd really appreciate some feedback. There must be someone out there who has tried to do.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Of course you can downgrade the satellite Pro P200 for Windows XP.

    When installing XP, you need to install the Intel Storage Manager. It is a SATA driver that is needed to activate the HARD disk.

    Regarding the webcam driver.
    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and the Chicony webcam driver is certainly available.

    The HD DVD driver is not necessary because the Windows XP must use an own ODD driver.

  • Satellite Pro P200-14W and WXP - no driver for PC memory controller

    I installed Windows XP on the Satellite Pro P200-14W and installed all the drivers I could find on the Web of Toshiba site following the instructions provided.

    I always have a controller memory PC that appear in hardware Manager who is not driver related to it.

    My main problem however is that at random intervals (sometimes when you pull the power cable) the defects of the screen and turns into a mess of the desktop computer and the computer must be restarted because it does more. I tried several types of graphics drivers, but this does not stop the problem.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have installed XP on this laptop Vista you must also update the BIOS to the version of Windows XP.
    Seems that at this time it s a 5.00Win version of the BIOS.

    To get rid of the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager, you must install the
    Flash Media Driver. This is the driver for your bridge Media Slot. This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.

  • 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro P200.

    As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
    When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

    I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

  • Satellite Pro P200 with WXP - two components without driver

    I installed XP Pro on my Satellite Pro P200 15W and I installed all the drivers on the driver download page, but I have still two components without driver: these devices, I don't know what types of devices are, because it seems that this medication works very well. The features are:

    Memory (Controladora de Memoria PCI) PCI controller
    Unknown device (unknown device)

    I aso installed upgrading Bios WIN5.00, but both devices still does not.

    Any idea?

    Thank you everyone

    The * PCI controller memory * Intel Turbo Memory is called a chip Flash cache logic Intel (Robson device).
    It s a new technology designed to support the new features of Vista.

    There is not driver for it for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the function of cache, it is supported by Vista.

    The other unknown device could be everything; You may need to verify that the devices do not work. LAN, WLan, etc...

  • Satellite Pro P200: Cannot install Server 2003 - parity memory error

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 and to the work required to install Windows 2003 server on it, but all I get is an error message:

    -Hardware malfunction

    Call your provider of support material

    NMI: Parity check / memory parity error

    -The system is shut down

    I checked the memory and everything seems OK. Vista runs very well on it, and all memory is recognized. I tried different flavors of Server 2003, although all I need is standard edition. Anyone who has met this problem, or someone has any suspicion as to how I can get it operational.

    So, how tested the RAM? With Memtest? Or Prime95?

    I read in many forums that people work servers (no laptop...) SERVERS) that correctly work 1 year with ECC memory, then windows 2003 server gives the same error message you have.

    I mean if Vista works flawlessly and you checked as you say the RAM while there could be a mismatch which must not be for lack of toshibas.
    Maybe you should try a linux ubuntu server edition, which works great on almost * ALL * systems, even on systems with faulty CPU/memory (Ok, ok, not 100%, but it works, I got this case :))

    So, maybe you can try to exchange the RAM, but if you're still the same error then ask microsoft or try another P200, if they are available.

    Sorry dude, but I Don t have a lot of ideas in your situation :/
