Tecra M1 - HDD upgrade questions

I have a Tecra M1 1600 Mhz. I want to move to a bigger hard drive faster. No one knows what is the best to pick up or even what type of player, I need to look? ATA SATA IDE, it's all a bit confusing to me

You can use the sizes of HARD drive: 30 GB; 40 GB; 60 GB; 80 GB.
And IDE HARD drive interface. The Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) is supported ;)

I hope this helps.

  • Tecra A7: HDD upgrade question

    Hello.

    I was wondering if I can upgrade the hard drive on my Tecra A7 (Portuguese model). I think the original is a 80 GB SATA. I read the manual, but I couldn't find any info on this. Is this possible? What should I do, what screws do I unlock?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I found some information on this laptop.
    It seems that the laptop came with 60 GB; 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives
    So it should be possible to use as much HARD drive as you have 80 GB of HARD drive. I suppose you can use a 120 GB HARD drive with no problems.

    The cover of the HARD drive location, you will find at the bottom of the device (around the corner).
    After removing the HARD drive form the unit place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface and remove the two cushions

    There is a whole process. It is very easy, but be careful.

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

    I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

    I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

    Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

    This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Hi magicmat,

    Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

    Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

    So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

  • Tecra M7 memory upgrade question

    Hello everyone, I would like to upgrade the RAM on my Tecra M7, which came with 1 GB and is supposed to get a free site available. Since the system's maximum memory is 4 GB, I guess you can use up to 2GB stick into each slot.

    My question is: can I have a 1 + 2 GB configuration (with / 3GB in total) or modules should be combined for better performance (1 + 1 GB) DDR2? I read somewhere something memory dual channel working only with identical memory modules, but I'm not an expert so I don't know?

    Any idea anyone?
    RADO

    Of course, you can mix the sizes of memory. It s nothing unusual!
    You can use different memory module sizes, but you should be 100% sure that both modules supports the same specifications as DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200)

  • Satellite A50 PSA50A - CPU, RAM, HDD upgrade question

    I wanted a laptop and my partner who is not real Smart PC (bless his heart) was released without my knowleadge and bought me a second hand laptop. That I really appreciate his kindness.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite model PSA50A - 7 k 047 number.
    I know a little PC, but not much I can change a hard drive and add memory and processor for a desktop computer but have little knowledge with laptops.

    This one has a hard disk of 40 GB and ram 240 and I guess is a Pentium 4.

    -What I want to know is how old is this model, and how much I can spend it.
    -What is the maximum memory, hard drive and it will take a Core duo.

    I've never had a Toshiba before but I heard that they are really good and reliable.

    Another issue is that I went into Device Manager and then system devices, and then the speakers, I found there was a driver that has not been installed. 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller - 24CC

    The reason why I ask is that I tried to plug in external speakers and they would not work, I couldn't find a speaker headphone and microphone port. I thought it's maybe because the driver above has not been installed. Anyone know where I could find and download the driver.

    When replying do not forget I am 50 years old and there are 5 years, I don't know even how to set up a browser, I taught myself everything I know now... I have 2 blogs and do a lot of marketing, but I'm not so good on the side of tech.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pauline

    Hi pauline28
    Goo gle is your best friend... ;-)

    I guess it is 4 or 5 years...

    I am only guessing, but the limitation of the ram upgrade should be 1024 MB depending on the operating system and chipset...
    Take a look at the job (it can be downloaded on the website of toshibas)

    all the drivers for this laptop can be downloaded from toshiba too.

    the upgrade of the 120 GB HDD can work but there is no guarantee, perhaps that you have updated the bios

    the upgrade of the central unit is the most foolish thing to do... why?
    OK the cpu that works in your laptop be cheap
    core-duo won't work in this chipset/socket... (not sure)

    but make sure that this device will do things like surf the internet ;-) not in water ;-)
    play the music, if the driver is installed
    and the hard drive with 40 GB of space will be sufficient, if you put all your cds top ;-)

    It may be a good idea to pay a specialist for this 20 minutes to check and install the proper drivers...

  • Satellite P100-286 - HDD upgrade question

    I'm looking in the upgrade of my HDD, i.e. with the P100-286 Fujitsu MHV2200BT. I would like to find a disk with a RPM faster and perhaps a slightly greater capacity also.

    I found the information on the MHV2200BT and see that there is a box slightly larger than most portable 2.5 "HDD. SA is 12.5 mm height, rather than the usual 9.5 mm.

    This will make unfit to buy another HARD drive?
    I need to find another housing or casing for HARD drive?

    Here are the stats on the current model... http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/storage/hdd/mobile/mhv2200bt-sata.html

    I think to do this HARD drive to replace it... http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/320-GB-Western-Digital-WD3200BJKT-Scorpio-Black-25-SATA-300-7200-rpm-16MB-Cache-12-ms

    Thank you for any additional information.

    Hello

    Hmm the old HDD is 12.5 mm and the new is 9.5mmm
    Well I put t exactly how the HARD drive has been mounted in the P100 of boyfriend but in many cases, the HARD drive is placed in the media (media).

    If the new HARD drive would mingle not with this support.

    But why you put take t a 12.5 mm HARD drive? There are a lot of 2.5, 12.5 mm, SATA hard drive that would be 100% compatible with your laptop!
    Looking a little bit...

  • Tecra 720cdt: memory upgrade question

    I'm looking for 1 oiece 128 MB of memory (MAX)? for my 720cdt. Can someone help me as to a place that I can get this or does anyone have good used sweater, that they no longer need.
    Just tell me what you need.

    Thank you

    Garth

    Wow, that's a really an oldie.
    To my knowledge it s about 10 years.
    What do you what to do on this old notebook?

    In any case, I remember that the slot of memory could be at the bottom of the unit.
    Am I wrong? In addition, you can use module max memory 128 MB and the memory can be upgraded to 144 MB. Why? Because as far as I know that this unit should have internal 16 MB memory and it cannot be removed.

    I searched a bit on the net and found information that this module memory must be compatible:
    PA2046U 128 MB

    These modules you should be able to order the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Satellite 1800-S274: HDD upgrade questions

    I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1800-S274 P III 1.1 G 512 MB with XP PRO Spanish

    Part c: PS183U-00JRSPNC Serial Nr: 32014957PU
    The keyboard and the OS is Spanish.

    The HARD drive was accident, restart the PC, with a blue windows with the error text impossible to read because it quickly restart again.
    Cannot access the HARD disk also with other means or connected to another PC boot disk.

    PROBLEM 1) what type of disk HARD can I put up what capacity?
    (the original HARD drive is MK2018GAP. Capacity 20 GB 4200 RPM ATA4)
    I read on the net that is perhaps the BIOS accept more than 60 GB or HDD companies other than Toshiba. Is this true?

    In my country, the best ratio price/GB is a 80 or 120 GB 5400 RPM also label of Toshiba.
    I put these?

    Here is a best value of HARD drive:
    Toshiba 40 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK4032GAX)
    Toshiba 60 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK6034GAX)
    Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8025GAS)
    Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8032GAX)
    Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8026GAX)
    Toshiba 120 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK1234GAX)

    PROBLEM 2) I can not find my installation CD of Spanish XPpro but my laptop has a certificate of authenticity Microsoft of OEM.
    I contacted Microsoft, they say I have to ask the builder OEM installation with a CD XPpro OEM but there not sure they give me this.
    I don't want to buy a new OS, and I can't restore it because the HARD disk is damaged.

    How can install OS on the new HARD drive?

    My laptop its 6 years if I have to buy the HARD drive and OS XPpro is not a good deal.
    Maybe I can try to install an old Win 2000 pro I have. Do you think that it work on my type of laptop? And readers are available for my type of laptop?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    I also believe that you can use the 60 GB HARD drive for this oldie.

    Please don't be crazy about me, but how you want to install the operating system if you don't want to buy the CD of facilities? If someone give you something for free or what. You can try to order the original recovery media, but in my opinion, it is not in stock, or you can buy the CD of original Microsoft facilities. If you check eBay you can find a used one and have it for little money.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: HDD upgrade question

    Hello.

    I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
    Only, I get a blank screen.
    When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
    Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

    The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

    Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

    The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

  • Re: Satellite A300-1mt - HDD upgrade question

    I just want to know, can I change my 250 GB, 8 MB, 5400 RPM SATA HDD in my laptop with this one
    HDD 500.0 GB WESTERN DIGITAL Scorpio Blue 5000BEVT, SATA, 8 MB c., 5400 RPM

    Will it work, or does better go, my laptop will recognize it?

    TNX

    Hello

    I think that the laptops BIOS should recognize the new HARD drive.
    The new HARD drive is a SATA HDD and it's the most important thing.

    You need a 2.5 SATA HARD drive!
    Size and speed are not really important, because the new SATA controller must manage this without HARD disk problem.

    I would like to know if it is suportts Sata drives.

    Thank you in advance.

    Best regards

    The problem is that there is no official information on the maximum size of HARD drive on laptop series different. If we can only speculate on the supported formats.

    But I found it here in the forum:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=93195𖰋

    The user has updated the own M70 with the 160 GB drive HARD Toshiba MK1637GSX and it works.
    So maybe this info helps a bit.

    I bought a Satellite A100-386 a few years and I'm really happy, but my hard drive has failed.
    So, I wanted to know if I could put a 2.5 "SATA II disk, like this.

    http://www.materiel.NET/Disque-Dur/Hitachi-Travelstar-5k500-b-s-ATA-II-250-go-8-mo-48900.html

    Thank you answer :)

    Hello

    Yes, I think that this should be possible.
    The A100 supports hard drives SATA controller, and theoretically, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive.
