Tecra A3-S611 - hard drive upgrade

I'm new to this forum and publishing in general.
We have a Tecra A3-S611 who needs a new hard drive. I do not know how to order a. Anyone would be able to tell me what are the options we have? Can order us a SATA hard drive? Speed? Any size requirement? 2.5 ", Yes? Good suppliers? Brands? Please forgive my ignorance.

Thanks in advance for any help.

After looking on Google for this model number, it seems that this model uses a ParallelATA (IDE 2.5 "hard disk), you cannot install a SATA drive because the connector is different

Given the A3 only came out with 40 GB (or there abouts) HDD, the maximum size may be limited to 120 GB due to the LBA48 barrier of 137 GB (limitation of the Chipset).

So what you want is a 100 GB or 120 GB IDE PATA 2.5 "HDD, clocked at 4200 RPM or 5400 RPM / min. 7200 TPM can become too hot.

  • Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
    I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    These are the specs on the site
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

    Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
    Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
    I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

  • Satellite A40-151 Possible HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

    RPM
    buffer
    Number of PINS
    Type of the ATA

    I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

    Hello

    I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

    If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

    Good luck!

  • HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

    Thank you

    The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

    Data sheet

    6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

    Manual

    Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

  • Tecra Z40 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    I bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HARD drive. As a replacement, I bought the next SSD:

    Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB

    Unfortunately I don't have to work. On the BIOS, I see that the system recognizes the ssd. But the boots of system restore, or windows 8.1 detail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?

    Problems persist if the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.

    I have upgraded to the latest version of the bios to 3.7, but that did not change the result.

    If the BIOS recognizes the new SSD drive, the drive must be visible to the system.
    May I ask how did you try to install the OS Windows 8.1?
    Have what media you used?

    The Z40 Tecra can't internal ODD (optical disc). This is why I m wondering about the installation procedure

  • Tecra M10 - HARD drive upgrade

    One sees no problem, replace the 160 GB HARD drive for a disk of 1 to I have already partitioned/formatted and installed XP PRO on the 1 TB HDD in my M-105 satellite and it works very well in there but he would prefer in the fastest latest TECRA laptop.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that this should not be a big problem since the SATA controller must handle the 1 TB HARD drive.

    You can test using the disk HARD of the M105 replacement is not difficult and the two units M105 and M10 supports the same SATA HDD.

  • Tecra 8100: This HARD drive is supported for the upgrade?

    I want to improve the HD in a laptop Tecra 8100. However I can't find the HD player required to do this.

    Someone suggest where I can look?

    Hey Buddy, your notebook computer is an oldie.
    As far as I remember that the computer is about 6 years old.
    At that time, the supported laptop, 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, 15 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB HARD drive, and the disk 20 GB HARD is, in my view, a maximum size. More is not possible.

    I found kits of HARD drive you could use:
    PA3012U - 1 H 06 6 GB hard drive Kit II
    PA3027U - 1 H 12 12 GB hard drive Kit II
    PA3029U - 1:18 18 GB hard drive Kit II

    Hello

    According to the specs of this device comes with 30 GB maximum HARD drive unfortunately there is no public document what capacity max you can use, but I think that the HDD with 40 or 60 GB should work well.

    More info on which you can get the service or even some offering online partner. Google a bit. You will find a large number of them.

    The laptop HDD 2.5 is big and it will fit SelectBay adapter.

    Hello!

    You can buy each 2.5 HDD that you want because your notebook has a SATA interface and there is no capacity limit like on old hard drives with IDE interface.

  • Tecra R10 - hard drive upgrade for SSD

    Can we say if it is possible to change the hard drive for an SSD?
    It would be perfect!

    Why is it not possible? As far as I know Toshiba proposes some models of the Portege with SSD and SATA drives.
    For the time being SSDS are quite expensive and I don't think the best solution.
    What is the reason for the exchange of HARD drive?
    I still have no experience with SSDS, but I've read several articles ve noticed that Intel X25M should be good. According to the tests that has this HARD drive, comparing to other manufacturers, data transfer rate but it is quite expensive.

    Anyway, when you replace the HARD drive please let us know how it works, and describe your experience with it. It can be very useful for other members of the forum.

    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Tecra 8100: Larger hard drive possible

    Hello

    I would like to know what size of the hard drive for a Tecra 8100 can be. The original GB 12.1 broke down and I can't find a disc hard it big/small or large. The current hard disk to the start of the sale to 80 GB, but I am not sure if it will work.

    I don't know what version of BIOS is loaded currently, but I plan to upgrade to the latest version anyway.

    Thank you for your answer!

    Roy van Lamoen

    Hello

    because your computer has a set of chips Intel 82440BX/ZX, you will have some problems of large drives with 80Gig or similar facility. I've heard users here that 40 GB drivers work well, so if 60 GB works - I know Don t. 40Gig has been proven, so if I were you I would buy a 40Gig pladder and update my bios before installing the drive.

    Should work so perfectly. :)

    The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.
