Upgrade HDD/SSD 500 GB on Tecra R950-19th

Hi all.

I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade (buy and then replace) my HARD - SSD (256 GB) drive to a 500 GB/1 TB on my Tecra R950-19th.

If so, you have online stores to suggest buying?

Thank you.

I think that it should be possible to use this HARD drive since the SATA controller is able to manage these sizes because of 48-bit LAB (Logical Block Addressing)
Usually there is no big difference between HARD drive manufacturers, but I recommend you to check some reviews and read some article on HARD drive, you are interesting in.

What you need is a SATA 2.5 HARD drive (speed is not question for the compatibility of devices)

  • Upgrade HDD/SSD on Qosmio G30-126

    I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade existing at a larger size HARD drive or just a large and an SSD.

    Question 1: what is the size for the two new HARD drives because the power supply is limited?
    Question2: For now, I run the two HARD a disc, so no RAID. Is it possible that I can determine what is on which drive? I do not envy the dumping everything on a drive connected and then import the new HARD disk.
    Question3: Is there a substantial improvement in speed when using the SSD as a HARD drive? I run W7 professional and compared to Mint example startup is pathetically slow.

    Appreciate answers or suggestions.

    Hello

    Qosmio G30 already supports SATA interface and so general, interface SATA has no capacity limit. If you can install a SATA 2.5 HARD drive with all the sizes. Ore of 500 GB drives is no problem on SATA interface so it s on applications and data based on what size you want / need.

    If your laptop is capable of managing 2 hard/SSD drives, you can buy an SSD 128GB for example for Windows and your applications and a HDD (500 GB) for your data.

    Disc SSD is faster than hard drives, but they are more expensive. SSD are perfect for the OS itself and programs but for data such as photos, music, etc. Hard drives are fast enough.

  • Tecra R950-104 - can I replace ODD with SSD?

    Hello

    Is it possible to replace my DVD drive with an SSD with a HARD Drive Caddy?

    My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra R950-104.

    Kind regards

    Luis

    Hello

    I found on the internet some UltraSlim SATA HDD/SSD mounting frame that allow the use of 2nd 2.5 HDD/SSD drive instead of ODD in Notepad Tecra R950 but to be honest I m not 100% sure if the BIOS recognize such additional device.

    I know that computers Toshiba laptop (Portege and Tecra) series different takes in charge these updates in the past but this replacement was not supported by each laptop model.

    It depends on the BIOS and in the event that the BIOS recognize the 2nd HDD/SSD drive, the system should be able to recognize 2nd HARD drive

  • Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

    Hello

    Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

    BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

    After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

    Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

    What could be the problem?

    > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

    You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

    From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

    I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
    If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

    In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.

  • Upgrade HDD in Tecra 8200 problem

    I am trying to upgrade the hard drive in my Tecra 8200 10 GB to 30 GB. I have adapters to connect both drives old and new laptop on my desk, then used cloning software to copy content from the old disk to the new, leaving the data on the old. The old and the new disks are formatted in FAT32. When I put the new drive in the laptop, it is not recognized. The configuration of the BIOS screen says 'no drive '.

    I tried 2 different programs of cloning and tried the new disk using a USB external box connected to the laptop, with the original drive mounted in the laptop cloning. Still not good. I went through the whole thing with a 20 GB drive that I use in the external case, and it is not to be recognized. The 30 GB and 20 GB are recognized and can be read by, by 2 different computer, so I am prety sure that disks are OK. The 8200 BIOS does not recognize them and it doesn't seem to be a way to force the BIOS to detect the drives.

    I thought that the 8200 would support larger disks, but this isn't looking too good. I hope it's something obvious that I forgot.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Hello

    As I know your Tecra should be able to recognize the 30 GB HARD drive. Maybe update the BIOS may solve the problem. Please on Toshiba download page has the latest BIOS update available.

    Hello

    HARD drive problems do not portable but depend on the use of HARD drive and use of portable.
    The HARD drive is a wearing part. Sooner or later every HARD drive was going to die.

    This problem can occur because the HARD drive is affected by shocks while moving the laptop. In addition, there a lot of different hard drives on the market. Some are less expensive because of the low quality and some HDD cost more because of good quality.

    If you keep the eyes on the quality of the HARD drive.
    But to be honest, I would never buy a laptop HARD drive. I replaced my HARD drive with an SSD. Its much faster and more sustainable as a HARD drive

  • Tecra R950-15F - need to WiFi disabled by deafult

    Hi all

    I'm new to the forum and I have a question whose answer
    I couldn't find on the web and here in the forum (at least with my keywords; please direct me if failed).

    For some time I am owner of a Tecra R950-15E running Win7 Pro 64-bit and am very satisfied with it.
    The only thing that bothers me a bit is the Wi - Fi mode.
    I know that by pressing "FN + F8" I can turn the wireless (WiFi and 3G) modes on and off.

    It seems that by default the wireless modes are turned on after starting the system.
    I would like to have everything turned off by deafult (primarily to conserve battery power) and only turn it on manually when I really need.

    Now I have to do the reverse by turning off manually after the system starts and I have not found a setting to change to my preference.

    Does anyone have an idea to fix it?

    Thank you
    tecra14

    I m very surprised of your question here in the forum, because usually the laptop / system must remember the last State of Wi - Fi.
    This means that Wi - Fi should remain disabled, in which case the WiFi has been disabled just before logging off the power.

    Try reinstalling the driver WLan just to check if it would solve your tiny issue.
    You will need to uninstall the WLan driver before you start a new installation.

  • Password at startup TECRA R950

    I have
    The school where I work have a TECRA R950
    When I boot the laptop I have a password (it is not a bios password) but I do not know
    How can I reset this password?
    Thanks for the reply

    When I boot the laptop I have a password (it is not a bios password)

    Why do you think this is not a BIOS password.
    Are you able to access the BIOS by pressing F2?

    If this is not the case, the laptop is secured by password BIOS and this unknown BIOS password can be removed only by the authorized service provider...

    If you do not know the password, you can request assistance from the ASP

    I want to change my Sat U940-100 by a SSD HARD drive.
    I can make a perfect copy but when I change the HDD SSD won't.
    Can someone explain me what I have to do?

    I think it has to do with het SSD of 32 GB, which is already inside?
    What I have to change something in the BIOS?

    Thanks in advance

    What do you mean it won't? What did you do exactly?

    In my opinion after Exchange of HDD with SSD, you must install the original recovery image and start using your laptop with the 'settings '.

  • Tecra R950 fan speed

    Hello

    I have Tecra R950 (PT530A - 00S 001) and find that the fan works almost full/high speed all the time.

    I am running Windows 8.1 and run on the balanced power setting.

    Is it a common problem with this model?

    Someone can give me some info or measures to be taken to diagnose the problem or should I just send it to Toshiba as a guarantee?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I wouldn't say it s common issue because of fan activity depends on its portable use.
    The fact is that the CPU/GPU performance leads to a temperature higher due to the dissipation of the heat and this leads to a stronger fan activity

    There's not a lot of parameters that could be changed next settings in the Windows Advanced Power Options. Here you can change the method of cooling under operation on battery and you can also decrease the max performance of the processor to 100% at a level more down to let's say 80-90%
