Upgrade the hard drive to the Qosmio F45-AV413

Hello!

I have a Qosmio F45-AV413 with two hard drives. I noticed that one is a common SATA (the one that contains the operating system), but the other is smaller (it's what I ve has noticed that I didn t take it out) is that the hard drive what is called a disk´ hard ´hybrid?

I looked for more information on this found nothing but, with the exception of [this page | http://laptoplogic.com/resources/detail.php?id=82] where the guy teaches how to change the HD SATA for a more/better one. But no word on the other HD.

Are the two HDs of the same type?

Can it be replaced and implemented using the recovery discs or the recovery disks are waiting for the original model/size of the hard drives?

Thank you very much for your answers!

Hi Alfredo

I m not a Qosmio F45 owner so I can post only a few observations regarding the information and the details published on the site that you have linked.

It seems that both hard drives are supported on the SATA interface.
On hard drives is a little thinner and so it s mounted in the HARD disc enclosure.

In my opinion, you can use different hard drives SATA 2.5 from different manufacturers.
He should t be a problem.

See you soon

  • No HARD drive light on Qosmio X 870

    Hi all

    I m coming on this forum to post something that has my curiosity because I bought my Qosmio X 870, 3 years ago...
    This series has no HARD drive light and I wonder why...
    I mean, it looks like "slikier" without light... But this HDD light is very useful in my opinion, it gives me a reading how my HARD drive works when my computer oar, allowing me to solve some problems and simply check the health of my laptop computer in general. I have to put my ear on the side of the HARD drive and listen to it if it is working or not, boring.

    Why is it like that? Is this just for the style?
    Thank you.

    We can discuss here everything, but no one here can tell you why this model Qosmio no HDD LED. Always new and new design I think. My S50 - B Satellite has not too much.

    To be honest, it is very useful to have, but I don't miss it at all.

    Hello

    AFAIK all Qosmios with 2 hard drives come with two identical hard disks and not with different interfaces or ability (due to the RAID option). Because of this you should do the same and you will have no problem.

    Your an old one, you can use as disk external DRIVE connected by USB. 100% compatible player for your Qosmio is with PA3439U part number - 1 HA 0.

    That's all that I know about that.

  • Upgrade Z60m Hard drive

    Hi all

    I plan to upgrade the hard drive in my z60m, a Seagate momentus 7200.4, essentially because it's in the final list of the firmware update I could find.

    I created the ISO disc for the verification of updates of the firmware of the HARD drive and checked my current drive, it works.

    I intend to install windows on the new drive using the restore discs, after which I will manually install the updates for all drivers and all the files that I use regularly.

    My question is when should I use the ISO HDD firmware update program. I'm not buying my IBM HARD drive and understand that the update of the firmware may not work, but at what point should I try. I thought to install the new hard drive and then run the firmware update software before you install the OS from the restore disks. Is this true or do I have to update the firmare HDD after that I installed the original image on the new hard drive?

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Firmware update is really not so much a big deal, you can do it from a bootable CD before installing the operating system, or at any time after that you installed. It really won't do much difference anyway.

    Good luck.

  • Pavilion 15-n070sw: is it possible to upgrade a hard drive in this model?

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion 15-n070sw (no longer under warranty) and was wondering about upgrading my drive ssd hard drive. However I noticed some users report problems of compatibility between this model and ssd drive (+ there is no option to set the AHCI mode in the BIOS settings...). Because I don't want to invest in a reader, that I won't be able to use, I wanted to check here - this model will support an SSD?

    Thank you very much in advance for clearing that for me!

    M

    Yes it will absolutely accept an SSD. There is no need to mess with the BIOS as the definition of only for storage controller's ahci. Could not set it to something else if you want. Windows 7 and above will simply TRIM and NCQ which is what you need for the optimization of the SSD. A lot of tutorials out there comes from another era, when it was harder to get a job of SSD. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Pages 63-70 are the 'how' to remove the top cover and replace the hard drive with a 2.5-inch SSD SATA. I can recommend a Samsung 850 Evo as best consumer SSD, but many others is good and you can shop for an agreement.

    The trick to that prepared in advance how you reinstall Windows clean install from a Windows system image backup or clone. All are viable options, but have their own procedures and pitfalls. We can help with that.

    Dear HP,

    I am former HP employee worked for many years and big fan of HP.

    I bought the HP Pavilion P001tx in November 2014.

    question;

    1. can you exchange or upgrade from keypad with backlight one?

    2. can we exchange or upgrade the Normal Hard Disk 1 TB with SSHD 1 TB keyboard?

    WebCam is too dull...

    Thank you.

    You misunderstand my role here. I do not work for HP and I'm not the order desk. I am a user final companions. The laptop has a program backup and restore installed where you can make the recovery discs or a USB key to reinstall the software factory on a new hard drive or SSD SSHD.

    You will have to find a SSHD and will make install. HP does not offer that service and I also do not, of course. It can affect your warranty. If you let us know your country of residence, we can find a good deal on the parts you want.

  • Is it possible to upgrade memory hard drive?

    I'm just trying to see if I can move on to more memory on the hard drive of my computer or if I just need to go buy an external hard drive?

    Hi tnof77,

    Hard disks have "cache" memory but thats all and it cannot be upgraded. While the cache is important, that the amount of space on the hard drive is the main point of Director. If you run out of space hard drive then, Yes, you need to either buy a hard drive more "internal" or, if you only need additional space for the files etc, an external hard drive.
