Upgrade HDD in Satellite 4010CDT

I was informed that the laptop above has a hard 'limit' of 8 GB disc. Can anyone confirm whether or not this is the case?

Thank you

Peter

Hello

What do you mean with HDD "cap"? That means the ability? :)
If Yes, then the 8 GB are not "max" If you know what I mean. I Don t know which drives are compatible, but there are fitting surely more keen readers of 8 GB in this machine.

Welcome them

  • Opportunities to upgrade HDD for Satellite L30-113

    I hope someone can help me on this one. I was wondering what are the possibilities for the upgrade of the disk on a Satellite L30-113. As the largest size of support etc. Or even if it's possible (I don't know much when it comes to upgrading laptops).

    If it is possible to upgrade to a larger size HARD drive what should be and what would be the process to upgrade as well as if there is a limit on the maximum size, etc.?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Each laptop BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore, you can only use a HARD drive formats supported.

    I used the L30 for a long time and to my knowledge, you could use the 40 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB hard drives for sure. Perhaps that the 100 GB HARD drive might work but I m not 100% sure and can not recommend this size of HARD drive.

    However, these hard drives must be compatible:
    Toshiba 40 GB - MK4032GSX
    60 GB - MK6034GSX
    80GB - MK8032GSX

  • Question about upgrading HDD on Satellite Pro U200-128

    I want to spend my laptop U200-128 HARD drive. What is the maximum size of HARD drive that can be used? Is it possible to use the 250 GB HARD drive? My current BIOS version is 3.7

    Thank you

    Hello

    It will be very nice if you can confirm that the upgrade of the HARD drive has been successfully. All info on the hardware upgrade can be useful for other people who visit this forum.

  • Upgrade HDD in Satellite L20-183

    Can I replace the real 60 GB HARD drive with a 250 HARD drive (WD Scorpio 250 GB ATA/100 5400, 8 MB WD2500BEVE) without any other upgrade?

    BIOS V1.2

    Hello

    Thanks for this I n t think that it will be possible.
    AFAIK the L20 supports an IDE interface and standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not be recognized!

    So, I wouldn't recommend taking a 250 GB HARD drive due to compatibility issues

  • Satellite 4010CDT memory upgrade

    Can someone help me with this OLD problem... ?

    How memory is changed in the satellite 4010cdt series... ?
    I have looked in all the obvious places, but can't see where she could go

    Thank you

    Hello

    I found some information:
    First of all, you can use a 128 MB module and you can upgrade the memory maximum. 160 MB (internal memory of 32 MB, 128 MB)

    AFAIK memory module housing is under the keyboard.
    You need to remove the keyboard to upgrade the memory.
    But if you remove the keyboard, you have to be careful.

  • A few questions on the upgrade of the Satellite M30x 154

    Hi all

    I plan on upgrading my Satellite M30x-154.
    I was wondering if you guys would like to know before upgrading if the things I want to buy this would work.

    I would change my Hitachi 60 GB for a Seagate 100 g (link following) would this work?
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131274

    I have BIOS version 1.90.

    I intend to install Vista on it. I'll be able to use an OEM copy?

    I currently have 1 GB custom memory Idleness I plan on implementing to 2 GB inside
    It still works fine?

    See you soon
    Robert Knight

    Hello

    1 upgrade HDD. I think it will work because some models of satellite M30X was also built with 100 GB directly from Toshiba.

    2 OEM Vista will not work because the OEM of Vista version needs a special BIOS for activation (BIOS for VISTA). You can install it but needs activation after a few days.

    3. the satellite M30X is 2 GB max memory, which means that it is possible to install strips of memory 2 x 1 GB... but I can't say if Crosiar memory will work but normally they work. The original partnumbers memory for a 1 GB module is 1024Mo PC2100/PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    I hope this will help you.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite S5100-201

    Is someone can you please tell me what I need to buy to upgrade to 1 GB? I think I have a 256 and a 128 to present but am a novice and have no idea how many pins, speed, dram etc.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, it s not possible to upgrade on the Satellite 5100 201 up to 1024 MB memory!
    The max value memory is 512 MB.
    If you have a 256 MB module, you can use the other to upgrade the laptop to 512 MB.
    It seems that the only location cannot handle 512 MB module

  • Need new HDD for Satellite P10-304

    Hi guys.

    Does anyone know where I can buy a hard drive for the laptop above to reinstall complete

    Current hard drive is officially dead!

    Concerning

    Paul

    Hello

    I found some info on the HDD on Satellite P10:

    It can be used a 2.5 ", 9.5 mm hard disk with capacity of 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB

    -Master - IDE bus
    -9.5 mm, 2.5 HARD drive carrier
    -Support synchronous Ultra DMA 100

    So for your laptop you can buy IDE HDD up to 80 GB of capacity.

    I think you can buy it everywhere. In PC Magazine, online electronic store, eBay...

  • Want to upgrade RAM HDD & on Satellite P10 - 304

    Help, please

    I have a Satellite P10-304. There is only a tiny 256 RAM and 30 GB hard drive.
    Can I put both?

    I was looking to upgrade to 2 GB ram at least and 120 to 160 GB of hard drive.
    Looked at the pc world, I know not which is compatible with mine.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course you can upgrade this P10.

    The RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and you use PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

    I think that the laptop supports the HDD IDE ATA-5 and in my opinion, you would be able to update with 100 GB or 120 GB HDD

  • The upgrade memory and HDD on Satellite Pro A300-1EA

    So, I'm new to this forum so first of all Hello to all!

    I plan to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1EA and I came to the conclusion that I need to buy more memory that the thing has already installed (2 048 MB).
    I tried to search for information through Kingston and OCZ, but have not found something solid on what memory modules are supported by the A300-1EA.

    The A300-1EA uses DDR2 800 Mhz type of memory (max 8192MB) instead of just dealing with one module 2084 installed, I had intended to get two of them.

    What I have to buy two identical modules, or can I increase memory by simply adding a module to match installed?
    So if anyone has an idea where I could find on the modules of memory supported, that would be swell! :)

    The other thing is quite the same, but only with hard disks. I found many potential readers than fullfill my needs for a faster drive (upgrade of 5400 RPM / min-> 7200 RPM), but I don't know which ones work with this laptop.

    After all, I'm in the impression that laptops are not so easy on these pieces as desktop computers.

    Thanks in advance!

    Satellite Pro A300-1EA belongs to the series of PSAG9E, and it seems that it was fitted on the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express.
    As far as I know, that you can improve this laptop 4 GB RAM max so I wonder which tells you something about 8 GB support.
    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB, and you can use the 200-PIN SODIMM 800 MHz modules.

    But to be honest I don t understand why you want to upgrade if the 32-bit Windows operating system will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system.

    With regard to the drive HARD;
    You need a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  • Upgrade HDD - Satellite Pro 4270

    Unfortunately there is no public document on the upgrade of the HARD drive, but I assume that 10 or even 12 GB HDD should work well.

  • Upgrade RAM & HDD on Satellite L30-115

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba L30 - 115 and I want to update the default value to 1 GB / 2 GB of RAM and 160GB / 250GB hard drive is it possible and if so can you provide me with the item number of the modules and the capacity of each. I would like to know if the system would support any upgrade, as I wish?

    Hello

    Response to upgrade of RAM is very easy. This Satellite phone can handle with 2 GB RAM max and compatible DDR2 400/533 1 GB memory module except the number PA3411U-1M1G. You can use two modules of 1 GB and maximally improve.

    On HARD drive, upgrade is not easy to provide accurate information because I know that Toshiba s specification states that the HARD drive can be upgraded up to 80 GB. Unfortunately I didn't find any public documents on the exact list of compatible drives but I think you can improve it with 120 GB of HARD drive.

    Boyfriend sorry but I didn't find more information. Perhaps someone with L30 will post here on the upgrade of the HARD drive.

  • Satellite M30-106: the search for upgrading HDD and DVD recorder

    Hello

    I was looking for some information about the compatibility of this laptop with new hard disks, but could not find. The reader, I want to buy is PMR Hitachi 5K 160 160 GB.

    Second in line for the upgrade is burner DVD-R x 2 which is painfully slow. There is a kind of game of simple checks to do before buy you to avoid buying the incompatible equipment? I know that there should be a list of compatible readers in the manual of my laptop, but there is not, and I believe that records of such a list would be a minor if no improvement at all.

    Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    You want to use the 160 GB HARD drive?
    I m not 100% sure but, in my opinion, the BIOS will not recognize this size of HARD drive.
    I found this similar thread on the 160 GB HARD drive:

    I discovered that the Toshiba SD-R6112, TEAC G8CC00013210, Matsu * a G8CC00019210 are compatible with your laptop.
