• 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.

• 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.

  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 '.

• 7200 RPM HD available for Inspiron 9300?

  Bought an Inspiron 9300 @ the end of December 2005.  A year ago the 80 GB 5400 RPM HD starts giving errors failed constantly.  Tried to watch a disc that spins at 7200 RPM to replace, but the support.dell.com site is pretty vague.

  Ive found a 100 GB disk at 5400 RPM which is a replacement for $135 - see the Scorpion 160GBfor $99, but do not know which will take place in this laptop.

  so my dilemma: pay more for the 100 GB disk that has been "recommended" by the search engine, try the Scorpion and hope, it fits, or find a 7200 RPM drive on another place and try that.

  any tips?

  Thank you

  Are there gotcha or things that I would need to know if I wanted to replace the HD to the laptop with a 7200 RPM drive? Or maybe even a little bigger than the 1 TB drive that is already there...

  I was wondering as well heat - they should have put in a drive of 5200rom for some reason...

  Just a question for the moment - ensuring that there is no problem with him.

  Hello

  I have a W500 with 250 GB 5400 RPM hard disk in it.  I just bought a 500 gigabytes of Lenovo's 7200 RPM disk and will replace the 250 gig.  Is the recovery disc I made from the lenovo tools will install the operating system and the thinkvantage software to the new?  If this isn't the case, please tell me how to install it.  Thank you.

  Yes indeed.

• Inspiron 1720 WXGA upgrade to WUXGA

  I want to update some of my components on my laptop. I have the Inspiron 1720 with the WXGA screen, I want to know if I can improve it for the WXGA. If it is possible, will it take a new inverter Board? Thanks in advance.

  Indeed, will need you a new Panel and inverter, plus a new cable LVDS (the cable that connects the motherboard and display within the system board).

  Given the age of the system, expect a decline as well major performance (higher resolution screen will require much more GPU power to run).

• New HDD in my Dell INSPIRON N5010 laptop, will I go to 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM HARD drive

  I bought the DELL N5010 laptop about 4 years back, and currently it is more under warranty.
  2 days back my hard drive crashed and could not start or install the OS as there are bad sectors on the hard drive has. I plan to buy a new hard drive.

  Which one should I go for a 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM. I would go to 7200 RPM, as it is faster, but I read on the internet that the 7200 RPM generates more heat then 5400 RPM and my laptop is already facing heating problem. I had replaced the fan about 2 months as my laptop used to close because of the heat. The problem of heating has not changed, but laptop does not stop :)

  Anyone using the DELL N5010 laptop with a 7200 RPM HARD drive and he's fine?

  Any kind of recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Sach

  Thanks for the recommendation. The sales in the shop man also recommended the same thing. I bought Seagate 5200 SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drives) which is still better than the conventional hard drive. :)

  Kind regards
