• Upgrade hard disk of 500 GB 7200 RPM if possible, 5400 RPM if not

  Hi, I have a laptop HP 2740se w / a drive 5400 RPM 250 GB hard. I would switch to a disc of 500 GB w / a 7200 RPM RPM if possible.

  Im very capable pc, but do not know if you can upgrade RPM and I do not know if all 2.5 sata disks "are universally compatible.

  If anyone knows with certainty what are my options to upgrade I would be very grateful.

  My lists of product name as a dv2500, but my model # lists as a dv2740se

  My # is KC448ua product

  If I can't upgrade to a 7200 RPM drive, a 5400 RPM will be acceptable, I just need to be sure that it is compatible as I intend to replace it myself.

  Thanks in advance for any help... Tim

  Although on some older models of what SATA is out you could have issues with some brands of SATA-II drives (300 Mbps) as the storage controller is SATA I (150 MB/s). Not a problem for you... laptop will be SATA I or SATA-II drives. Interface, dimensions and mounting thumb holes SATA 2.5 all disks are identical. generic and interchangeable; industry standard. I'm personally partial to Seagate Momentus drives (I just upgraded my laptop to a ST903203N3A1AS-RK 320 gig 7200 RPM 16 meg cache SATA-II this weekend to get ready for Windows 7), but frankly all disk hard manufacturers put a pretty good product these days.

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

  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 '.

• Satellite A100-405 - HARD 7200 RPM disk upgrade

  I want to know if I can improve the my Satellite a100-405 with a fujitsu hdd 7200 sata-II

  The original is FUJITSU MHV2160BT sata 150 MB/s depending on the Everest software.

  SATA controller is compatible and that's why it is not a big problem to use the SATA II HDD SATA I (150 MB/s) HARD drive.

  But of course the SATA II HDD will not reach full implementation and speed will be slowed to the limitation of SATA controller.

• 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!

• Someone at - he run a Windows VM to 7 out of an external 7200 rpm or SSD for Dev purposes?

  Hi - I currently run Windows 7 with dev and geospatial software on an external drive (desktop LaCie D2 drive) through Fusion 3.1.  The current is large, so no laptop and perhaps slower that I need, but uses the Firewire 800.  My Macbook pro is 2008 and has an expresscard port.  It isn't a unibody if not real big for a upgrade to multiple internal disks and my current internal drive becomes even more complete.   I use the two OSs at the same time.  So I want to wait on the purchase of a newer MacBook Pro until the next version.  So far, I am considering a faster and more portable player (OWC brand).  So my question is this: would a 500 GB 7200 RPM / Sata Drive be better or a 128 GB SSD would work?  Both can be connected by eSata ExpressCard/34 card cables.  Does anyone do this?  If the SSD is the answer, how the VM and Windows 7 works with it - fragmentation and so on?

  Cost is important, but a usable, portable and flexible solution is also.

  Thanks a ton

  Richard

  eSata is flaky on Mac, simply.  The new MBP have expresscard slots, so there is no solution eSata all on a new machine.

  FW800 runs about 2/3 SATA I speeds up and while it takes a little more time to start, actually run as virtual machine works very well (once it is loaded).

• 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.

• Put the new upgrade of Windows 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)

  Original title: Windows 10

  You want to install (upgrade) new Windows 7 Pro 64) Windows 10.  No problem.

  Here's my question and need help.  I want to put the upgrade of Windows new 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)  Just got new PC and the SSD is not yet installed in the new machine.

  Is there a way to do this?  I can install the SSD drive in the pc without problems.  But the pc is set up with the C: drive in the primary.  As I understand it, the update will work, but it will not be for the SSD.

  Suggestions?  Is this possible?

  Windows 7 installation will have to be eliminated if its currently on a separate disk. Which means you have to start over.

  I would first disconnect the hard drive with your Windows 7 installation.

  Install the SSD drive, then install Windows Pro 10 on this subject.

  Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10 Pro:

  Demarrer start from the installation media, and then select the SSD during installation:

  Reconnect the hard drive, then format the installation hard disk.

  Option to consider:

• DV5220us will not identify Seagate 500 GB Sata 7200 RPM hard drive XP

  Hello

  Upgrade the internal HD on my DV5220us of the standard 120 GB drive at 5400 RPM to a 500 GB drive at 7200 RPM and I have problems with the laptop recognize the drive. I did a ghost of the 120 GB image and then put the image on the 500 GB. When I install the 500 GB drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it. booting with the XP cd does not recognize the drive either. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, 24 I think, stll nothing. If I use cables and connect the 500 GB as a slave drive, he sees very well and it works. If I take the 500 GB and install in my Lenovo T61, it starts fine. No idea why the DV5220us does not recognize the HD Seagate 500 GB Sata 7200 RPM? Thank you!

  No one gave me an explanation to the problem. I'm actually advise to stick with a 320 GB 5400 RPM drive 500 GB 5400 RPM drives because have also been reported to cause problems. I'm sorry.
