  Why does windows partition hard disk of 500 GB so that 60 GB fills the drive c, then d ' drive is empty (295 GB free)?

  It depends entirely on the Installer Windows at your partition layout described no.1 is not standard.

  By default on a totally blank disk Windows 7 installation will create two partitions. A system reservedMB 100 partition which will not have any drive letter and is not normally visible on computer. The rest of the disk will be the operating system.

  Your drive C is 60GB because someone chose her for this size. It seems that if the computer has been upgraded, 60 GB would have been appropriate for Windows XP.

• Can anyone recommend an enclosure for a 500 GB (7200 RPM) HDD, coming out a MacBook Pro 17 "(early 2011)?

  I'm looking to upgrade to an SSD and serve my old external HDD. Technical specification will appear at the bottom.

  I have two computers to do with. First is a MBP 2011 beginning 17 "with 500g / 7200 RPM HARD drive and also a MBP 2011 320 g start / 5400 RPM HARD drive. All tips will help! Thanks in advance!

  OWC has a reliable "on the go" line.  I use this a https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/ that can have an external power supply, has a USB 2 model that sells for less than https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MOTGS3U3/and FW 400/800 and USB 2/3.  But they also sell this connection kit universal https://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/ (all readers 2.5 through 5.25 drives, SATA and IDE, powered by the wall).

• Satellite A 40, upgrade hard disk

  Hi, I have a laptop Toshiba A 40 with a DVD-R/RW drive. My desktop pc has two hard disks with an 80 and a 120 GB.
  What I'm wondering is can I connect hard drives in Notepad using a specially designed adapter or any other kit so that I can transfer the data stored in them in a DVD-R?
  Thank you.

  If you remove the disks, you can put them in a case that connects via USB to your laptop.
  Or... you could just share your discs on the network.

• Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

  I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

  What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

  And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
  My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

  Thank you all very much for your help,

  I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

  Then I would try to clarify some things;
  There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

  ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
  ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
  ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

  and so now ;)

  Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

  I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.

  Best regards

• Satellite P300 - upgrade to larger hard drives and 7200 RPM?

  I have a Satellite P300, model PSPCCA-01W073 (sold in Australia). Machine has two 320 GB of HARD drive. Yes, it's all up to 640 GB. I upgraded to Windows 7 OS and I have dual boot in to Linux Ubuntu.

  My job is editing/processing of multimedia files big and my hard drives are overexploited, so I now I am forced to exchange large files back and fourth with various USB hard drives. If I can replace the existing readers with much larger models, then I will go ahead and do it. .. But at this point, I'm out of my depth!

  I asked the support from Toshiba if P300 supports larger disks but they will not engage all the answers outside the original specifications. They suggest that I should try Toshiba users forum for more help.

  A kind person could tell me if it is possible to run drives 320 GB and the size. Also, I believe that the existing drives are 5400 RPM. My online store parts and pieces of local computer lists a choice between Hitachi, WD, Seagate and Samsung with sizes:

  (2.5 "/ 5400 RPM") 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB as well as sizes: (2.5 "/ 7200 rpm") 500 GB, 640 GB and 750 GB.

  So my second question; y at - it no advantage or disadvantage to the superior speed of 7200 RPM.

  TIA, your help should prevent to me yet an another expensive blunder.

  Hello

  Theoretically more big hard drives must be supported and should not be a big problem to use this HARD drive as the SATA controller is not limited to any size.

  Also the use of the faster HARD drive 7200 RPM should not affect the performance of the laptop even if this HARD drive faster produce more heat

  In my opinion you can upgrade to a larger and faster HARD drive

• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• The HD on Thinkpad T430 upgrade, how can I find a compatible drive? Looking for 1 TB 7200 RPM

  Hi, I recently got a T430 renovated and well, I just love and want to invest in an upgrade to 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM

  I read the specs here but other than:

  • High, 320 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3.0 GB/s 7mm
  • 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 7mm or 9.5 mm high SATA 3.0 GB/s
  • 1 TB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm high SATA 3.0 GB/s

  It is really not a lot to spend when buying a new hard drive. (totall rookie at this, so please be nice)

  Are all HDDs OTC market you today my machine? I have read discussions on the Bay in my entirely appropriate machine HDs 7 mm and 9.5 is a stretch and could adversely affect the connection to the motherboard. You can link me to a schematic page? I am looking for part numbers, which would help.

  Here are some HDs I consider, how do I know if they will fit ok? Comments are appreciated. I can watch videos on gootube how swap, this part is easy.

  Currently dual boot win 7 pro and ubuntu 14.04 and I've pretty much mukked to the top of the 320 hd with partitions before I knew any better. Nothing on the drive is special, I might as well do a clean install or restore backups. Which do you recommend?

  I would replace the hd in 9.5 mm slot?

  PS, none of the disks hybrid work in the T430?

  Thank you!

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  For reference, take a look at the FRU T430 parts list: https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/t430_t430i_fru_bom_20140722.pdf

  There is a section for each: 7 mm/2.5 "" SSD and 7 & 9.5mm/2.5 ' hard drives, which were offered with the machine. "

  Hope this helps your search a little.

  _______________________

  My Question is...

  1. I used HP 3D guard player when use Hitachi 320 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive.

  NOW, I want to know to use 3D software guard drive after upgrade SSD HARD drive?

  3d can damage the SSD or custody of drive?

  because after upgrade windows 8.1 Pro, in Device Manager it show unknown device '? After installation 3d player it keeps show OK. !

  That's why I want to know is - this safe for the SSD or not?

  Hello

  There is no need in fact HP 3D DriveGuard for one SSD as there are no moving parts - this application is not relevant to a mechanical hard drive, where sudden movements, detected by the accelerometer cause the drive heads be "stored" in damage to storage media.

  However, as your machine has an "accelerometer" leaving this driver installed will not affect the function of your SSD and prevents the Device Manager appears an 'unknown device '.

  Kind regards

• Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

  I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

  It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

  Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

  Thank you

  Enzo

  Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

  Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

  THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

  Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!

  Thank you!

  

• Satellite A300-1ND - can I use SATA2 HARD disk?

  Hello.
  Is there a place to upgrade A300-1NDs SATA HDD hard drive SATA2? I know that SATA2 is faster and is backward compatible with SATA, but do not know if the laptop would be able to use the full speed of SATA2.

  THX all

  Hello

  As Akuma has already said the s normal HARD disk with 5400 or 7200 RPM are not due the old interface SATA1.
  The speed of your drive you can check yourself with HD Tune for example. I think that your HARD drive will not reach the 150 Mbps.  ;)

  The new SATA2 interface is compatible with SATA1 controllers, but it won't bring a performance gain.
  Only the new generation of SSD also called HARD disk s can use fast SATA2 interface but these drives are more expensive than normal HDD s.

  Good bye

• Restores possible OneKey Rescue button on change of hard disk physical?

  I am a very new user of lenovo and recently bought an Ideapad Y460.

  The default hard drive is 500 GB with a speed of 5400 RPM.

  I wanted to change my hard drive to an SSD hard to increase performance.

  Before doing so, I created a set of recovery plant (3 DVDs) discs using the pre-installed OneKey Rescue System.

  I am aware that for the button OneKey Rescue work, the system must have a separate with the original disk image partition.

  My question is that if I install a new hard drive, the recovery of the DVD discs recover the original function of my laptop, returns to its new factory-installed state?

  The OneKey recovery will work properly?

  The recovery disks sutomatically will make the hidden partition, the C and the disks on my new SSD?

  Thanks for your time and any help will be greatly appreciated.

  replacing hard drive with rpm higher can help you.

  (consider about upgrading ram, too)
