  I want to replace but I don't know that can use any SATA II HARD drive, or I have to use the HDD with SATA I?
  On some forums, I found two users that puted new HARD drive in the old laptop and they complained that the speed of OS boot was hopeless.

  So the question is what HARD drive should I buy for this laptop?
  (I prefer capacity 320 or 500 GB)

  Hello

  SATA controller is downward compatible, you can use SATA I or SATA II HDD.
  It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD. The size is not very important for 500 GB configuration issues should be ok too.

  Hello

  Firstly, regarding the disk HARD, your laptop is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can just as easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more than space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive starts on Page 54 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.  The following link guess that you live in the United Kingdom.

  Order recovery HP. - UK discs.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  Yes, absolutely. Stick with 2.5 inches wide, 9.5 or 7 mm thickness SATA hdd or SSD. 7 mms are leaner, but the mounting holes are in the same place and the SATA data connector and the power supply is in the same place. You cannot use a 9.5 where only a 7mm is used as on Ultrabooks ultraslim, but a 7mm will replace a 9.5 mm. 7mm fits into the caddy and connectors will still work the drive but does not fill the carriage upwards. Yours is a chunky fellow that originally had a 9.5 mm drive. Sometimes you see disks of 2.5 inches wide from 12mm for blades and those who are not fit.

  If it's in the budget, get an SSD. I'm kinda an envangelist SSD, but you will be too once you have used a.

• Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

  I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

  And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

  What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

  Hello

  If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

  It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
  I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

  By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

  Hello

  I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
  If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

  Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

  With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1 TB black SATA 7.2 K rpm 64 MB Cache 6 G drive 3,5 '' hard

  The reason why I am interested in this player is that are affordable and available from a number of competitive sale points; for example, ebay and amazon, etc.

  In addition, they have good reviews for multimedia applications.

  Hey kbruff2016 welcome to the community!

  WD Black is a powerful HARD drive designed for larger and heavier loads as well as multitasking more heavy. It should serve you well for a long time because it comes with a good warranty of 5 years.

  You have all the drives in your computer? It may be appropriate to consider as SSD for the OS that you would see great improvements in time to start loading and the overall responsiveness of the system.

  If you plan use the HARD drive in any RAID arrays in the future I would recommend going with a NAS/RAID-class drive because they have additional features such as the TLER that ensure a stable and safe performance in such conditions. Red of WD is an example.

• Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

  The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

  I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

  I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

  What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

  Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

  Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

  Thank you very much!

  Hello.

  On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

  «the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

  SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

  Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

  For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

  WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

  WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

• Portege 4000 hard drive Replacement - what HARD drive is compatible?

  Is it possible to find a replacement for my Portege 4000 HARD drive, because the original becomes very capricious?

  Hi mate

  I think that the Portege 4000 is an elder and in my opinion this laptop supports a 2.5 HARD disk.
  I m not 100% sure, so I recommend you to install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition which would provide all the information on the HARD drive is internal.
  That would help you get a new, compatible HARD drive.
