Update hard disk for Satellite LT55-1NM

Hello

My hard drive from Toshiba Satellite LT55-1NM died (he was a 640 GB)

I want to take the oportunuty to upgrade a higher capacity drive,

Are up to are my options? Type of disc? Max capacity etc.

Thanks in advance!

What you need is the new SATA HDD. You can of course buy HARD drive with more capacity.
In any case, I think you should maybe buy SSD and increase the performance of your laptop. I upgraded my Satellite phone with SSD and it runs much faster than before. I don't know if the capacity is so important to you, but I think the 500GB SSD would be the right solution for you.

  • Update hard disk for Satellite 1900 102

    Hi all

    I used to work with a Toshiba Satellite 1900 102 since July 2002 and March my hard drive has stopped working (maybe it was time).
    Where can I buy records 2.5 "that this series of satellites can be supported?

    What is the maximum capacity (in GB) laptop that recognizes the old man?

    Thanks for all your help!

    Hello

    2.5 hard drives can be bought anywhere I think then, either you contact an authorized service provider or you visit your favorite computer store.

    I think that the Satellite 1900 limits the 28-bit LBA. This would mean that the size of the HARD disk is limited to 128 GB. The maximum capacity is 120 GB that you can use, but I think that 80 GB would be enough according to your amount of files you want to save on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions please let us know! :)

  • Update hard disk for Satellite 1000 z2

    I learned that I can only spend my hard drive Satellite 1000 to 20 GB. Please anyone know if that is correct? The laptop has a 6 GB at the moment.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I found the information that your device supports 15 GB of HARD drive. Maybe it's the official statement from Toshiba, but that you will be lucky with 20 GB of HARD drive. Try it!

    Hello

    I don't know but, I am very pessimistic, you have every chance of casting more than 8 GB HDD to your laptop because there are BIOS HARD disk size restrictions! If the latest version of the BIOS does not support the new HDD it appears impossible to run!

    Can you please send a link where is possible to read the specifications of this 40 GB HARD drive.

  • New update of hard disk for Satellite L670D-102

    Hello

    I need to get windows 7 on my old hard drive and on my new hard drive update. I can't find "media copy" file/folder. I did a windows disc when I arrived as he forced me to do but only loads a 'safe' version of windows on the new hd and wonder for other discs.

    Local dealer believes there are 3 back up discs to load up. I tried to save, but it takes more than 7 DVDs and still unfinished when I run out of time. Takes all day to do it. I tried an 'image system' through the windows and that works, but said that the new disk is the same size that the old image of disk system has been removed. Old drive 250 GB I think, new drive is 1 TB. Local dealer said try to reset the computer to the factory and see if "copy media" thread/folder reappears.

    Someone at - it ideas please!

    At first, I must say that you must tell us which model of laptop you have exactly.

    In general the whole situation is pretty simple. Your laptop came with the version of the OS pre-installed (recovery image). Using preinstalled Toshiba media creator you recovery tool can create bootable recovery (DVD or USB) media that you can use for the installation of recovery.

    After HDD just change boot image recovery this recovery media created facility.

    To be honest I do not understand your ad and you wrote all this has created media.

    I agree with Akuma. You can try using the drive HARD IDE 2.5 up to 100-120 GB.

  • Instructions on installing hard disk for Satellite M30 832

    Anyone know how much it would be easy to upgrade my 40 GB hard drive? Ive bought a 80 GB (model MK8025GAS number) and don't really know where to start.

    Hello

    Open the covers on the bottom of the laptop. If you can get access to the disk in this way, then you can easily replace. But otherwise, it is best to let it be performed by a technician because you must remove half of the laptop.

  • Need info on type of hard disk for Satellite A100

    I have a model of Satellite A100 (PSAA9E)

    It used to power up, but I need all the info on the hard drive, which models are compatible (plug-and-play style) so I can buy a 2nd hand laptop and use my old hard drive
    (assuming this is possible)

    Thank you

    In Satellite A100 a SATA interface HARD drive and if you want to use the data you can simply buy box USB HDD and connect it to any PC or laptop as external device.
    So you will have full access to all the data stored there.

    Good bye

  • I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

    In 2010 there are two updates of BIOS for Satellite A210 2, 00 - WIN & 2, 30 - WIN
    In archive: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp

    They compatible for Satellite A210-1AO, part number: PSAELE-03Q009G3 (BIOS/date TOSHIBA V2.0, 2008.06.10 version)?

    There are three different series of A210:
    PSAFGE-> BIOS v2.0

    Your laptop belongs to the series PSAELE and right now it seems that there are no compatible BIOS for this series.

  • Workstation 8 Shared VMs on different hard disks for autostart

    Hi people:

    Is anyway to take advantage of the feature work station 8 sharing VMs autostart with the start-up of the host OS, but have several virtual machines on different hard drives? Ideally, I would like to have VMs on separate hard disks for performance problems. \

    I really don't want to go on the road of ESXi right now. Is it possible to "autostart" other than via the shared "VMs" component of VMware workstation VMs 8? I think this would be a trivial feature to add to the workstation 8 and would make great useful for young kids like me.

    2. What is the biggest hard drive I can use (GB)?

    3. What is the size (dimensions) of the HARD drive I have to
    use? 2.5 "? What top?
    4. when the HARD drive is located in the notebook?
    5. can you explain the exchange procedure? -Open Notepad.

    Thank you for your support.

    Hello Belinda,.

    You should be able to change your laptop HARD drive without using an ESD wrist strap. It is worth "land" yourself in any case to make sure that you don't carry a lot of static accumulation, but a wrist strap is really required only when working close to RAM or graphics or advice chips.

    I don't know exactly where the HARD drive is on your laptop, but if there is no immediately obvious on the bottom access panel and the edges of the device, it can be accessed in the optical drive (the A30 Satellite for this), under the keyboard, or under the battery.

    Don't gorget you need to transfer the caddy Assembly to the new drive and remove/replace the drive with caution to avoid damaging the pins.

    Good luck

  • Update disk for Satellite M30X-102

    Hello

    No one knows what drives I can install in my M30x?
    Currently, I have a 40 GB toshiba drive. I would like to know if BIOS supports more than 80 GB drives.
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Well, I quite agree with the position of the user of the comments above.
    If you use a disk HARD with size is not compatible if the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive successfully.
    You must use the HARD drive with the size of the support.
    But in your case the Satellite M30X should support 40 GB HARD disk sizes / 60 GB and 80 GB 5400 RPM and a size of 100 GB HARD drive at 4200 RPM.

    Goodbye :)

  • Update hard disc on Satellite L20

    Hi all

    I would like to change the hard drive of my Satellite L20-260...
    I installed a hard MK4026GAX drive, I would like to replace it with a bigger... by taking a peek on the internet I found hard drives as MK8032GAX...

    Yes, 80 is the size (80 GB) but 32 what means? Can someone tell me is this hard disk can replace my old (one broken too) a?

    Hello

    I put t knows what means the 32 at the end of the number, but the disk HARD of MK8032GAX supports Ultra DMA/100 (ATA-6) interface.

    To my knowledge the Satellite L20 260 supports serial ATA (SATA) interface.
    You must use the s HARD drive that supports this and don t buy HARD drive that supports IDE interface because you will not be able to connect it to the laptop.

    In addition, the compatibility of the BIOS is very important. In many cases, the BIOS cannot recognize the HARD drive because of the large size.
    According to your post, the laptop supports 40 GB HDD s. In my opinion the 80 GB should work and should be recognized.

    I recommend to visit the merchant of HARD drive in your area and ask for compatible HARD disk. Maybe you would be able to test it in the shop.
