What's a 2 TB SATA hard drive internal-compatible with the HP Paviliion Elite m9510f?

Hello

I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite m9510f running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and want to install an internal 2 TB SATA hard drive.

I would like to know if this computer (see details of configuration below) supports this 2 TB HDD:

(1) can I use it as a secondary (non-bootable) drive?
(2) what like a bootable disc, it'll work?
(3) do I need to create multiple partitions or a single 2 TB can be created/formatted?
 
Specifically, I intend using a Seagate Barracuda LP 2 TB 5 900 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s 3.5 "internal hard drive model ST320005N4A1AS-RK

The word "support" has a connotation that is specific to HP - it usually means were that he tested with, sold with, etc.   I do not think that these discs were available when this system was built/designed, and thus the moniker "supported" official cannot be assured.

Everything that is said - I see not where there is a problem with this player.   I have a m9600t HP of a similar vintage - I swapped my Seagate 750 GB drive for a 7200 RPM Hitachi 2 TB drive and added an another 2 TB "Green" WD drive as a secondary drive.   No problems.

I have used Ghost of Norton to clone the old boot HDD on the Hitachi.  Made sure the D: drive Alias: "recovery partition" was kept the same size and then said Norton to use all the space of the new to develop on the c: drive.  Works very well.   The WD drive - I partitioned as a large drive E:.   Made sure to partition to NTFS.

Your mileage may vary - but I think it should work correctly...

  • What HARD drive is compatible with HP 120W Advanced Docking station (NZ222AA)

    Please tell me that HARD drive is compatible with the Bay of integrated upgrade HP 120W Advanced Docking Station (NZ222AA) SATA... I can't find the info nor in the manual the user, or from the HP site. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Please check this:

    While neither station can be upgraded, both have a Bay of upgrade which allows you to install an additional hard drive. If you choose to install the additional drive, you will add additional gigabytes to your current mobile storage space. However, if you choose to take advantage of the extra space, a standard hard drive does not fit into the Bay to upgrade. HP offers a hard drive 500 GB, specially designed for the upgrade on the 120W and the 230W Bay; You must order the HDD upgraded through HP.

    All hard drives 2.5 SATA must be compatible, since there is no physical limitation of the SATA HDD controller.

    From my experience, the Satellite A100 series was equipped with SATA drives.

    There should be a SATA HDD controller and you can use SATA 2.5 hard drives.

    I think that there isn t disc HARD size limit since the SATA controller is not limited to all special HARD drive sizes

    Ports appear as it will keep and everything, but I'm curious to know, if I get this drive, I'll be able to install my Macintosh on that hard drive and use it on my laptop Compaq CQ62 or not?
    If this isn't the case, then I'll be able to install Windows 7 or uBuntu on this hard drive? The hard drive will fit even on my laptop? Thank you!

  • What 500 GB SATA drive is compatible with the APS Thinkpad?

    I want to upgrade the main drive in my W500 at 500 GB, or possibly put the biggest drive in Ultrabay W500 carrier. I would like APS to work for the two discs.

    Does anyone have a * real * experience of the use of the APS with such a high capacity drive?

    I think the Hitachi Travelstar 5K 500. B family of readers (9.5 mm in height), but the OEM hardware manual doesn't speak any "Immediate unloading" command (which - I hope I have this right - does not write unwritten cached buffers but parks immediately drive), only the command "immédiate Idle" with function "unload":

    Unloading feature:
    The UNLOADING FEATURE of the IDLE IMMEDIATE command allows the host immediately unload the head. The device stop reading to come if it is ongoing. If the unit performs a write operation, the device suspends writes data cached on the support as soon as possible. Data in the write cache is stored, and the device takes over data cached on a writing material after receiving a software reset, a Hardware Reset or any new command except IDLE IMMEDIATE with the UNLOADING FEATURE

    I phoned HitachiGST support, and they told me that large OEM's like Lenovo order their discs with custom firmware OEM versions and support Hitachi were not informed of what are the characteristics that could affect.

    In theory the Lenovo readers could use a different command for "Immediate Idle" code of practice regular, unmodified firmware does not support.

    Anyone with more information?

    I ended up buying a Seagate 320 7200.3 drive 7200 RPM with integrated protection of the 'G-force '. Leaving active APS has not led to compatibility problems: the drive Park when the laptop is shaken, but I don't know if it's the result of the APS system or the built-in accelerometer.

  • This HARD drive is compatible with Satellite L30?

    I managed to break (don't ask how) my hard drive on my laptop Satellite L30.

    Could someone help me find where I need?

    Bravo guys

    Hi Matt

    Have you tried to search this forum for more information?
    There are many discussions on models of different laptops and I sure that you might find interesting and useful discussions on the HDD for L30 m.

    For example, I found this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=88214

    The guy said that a 120 GB 2.5 SATA HDD was possible.
    I think you could use a bigger HDD as only 120 GB, you can try a 160 GB if you want.

    Cheers mate

  • 120 GB HARD drive is compatible with Satellite L35-SP4090

    As far as I know the laptop Satellite L35 was equipped of different SATA drives.

  • Pavilion p6310y: WD10EZEX hard drive is compatible for the Pavilion p6310y?

    Hello

    I'm looking for a replacement of the hard disk of my Pavilion p6310y. I found a hard disk WD10EZEX on Amazon. It has the same features as the WD10EADS came with the pc when I bought it. But with some better features. The WD10EZEX is compatible?

    Hi, the active drive WD10EADS is a HARD SATA 2.0, while you are looking in WD10EZEX is a SATA 3.0. However, this should not be a problem since the SATA standard is backward compatible and a SATA 3.0 drive should work on a SATA 2.0 port. The difference in the size of the buffer and the ROTATION speed should not be a problem too, so you should be able to use a WD10EZEX in your system. Be sure to do a good backup of all your data on an external HARD drive before you start to replace your HARD drive. Good luck.

  • This external hard drive is compatible with my iMac 7.1?

    Hello, I intend to update my OS X, but first need to buy a hard drive to back up my files.  I found this one, but I don't know if it is compatible with my iMac mid 2007.  Can you please advise me if it will work?

    The external hard drive is this:

    1 to, G-Drive Mobile 5400 RPM, USB 2.0, 2.5 in.

    These are my computer specs:

    Model name: iMac

    Model identifier: iMac7, 1

    Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo

    CPU speed: 2 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    L2 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 1 GB

    Bus speed: 800 MHz

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.20f4

    Serial number (System): W8 * X 85

    Material UUID: *.

    I know that USB 2.0 will be very slow, but I don't mind.  I've only used 1.4 GB of space on my computer anyway.

    Thank you

    < personal information under the direction of the host >

    In General, external hard drives are universal, so they will work with any computer.  The particular drive you say should work perfectly.

    http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-drive-mobile-1-TB-bus-powered-hard-drive

    You don't even have to format it because it comes pre-format for right of Mac Out of the box.

    Given that your Mac has only USB ports 2.0, he "does get a USB drive 3.0" Also the read speed of the internal hard disk will be always much slower than the speed of the USB 2 bus, so no need to have extra speed on the connection, you will not be able to use.  You probably won't notice it in any way.

  • 250 GB USB external hard drive is compatible with Mac OS x on an iBook G4?

    Hello

    I made it and I see it on my desktop with a folder called System Volume Information and 2.32 GB available.

    I tried to copy a file and I got a message saying that the disk is not editable.

    Where can I find the instructions to initialize if it's compatible?

  • External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

    Hello

    I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

    The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."
