Need info about max HDD size available for Satellite Pro M30-813

Hello,
The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel. What exactly is the limitation of a maximum size of an internal HDD that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30-813?
Recently, I have bought and installed seagate 160 GB SATA drive, onto which I have successfully installed WXP Pro and have been running it for quite a while with no problems. Recently, I have been copying large amount of data from an external hard drive to my new internal disk, and as the files were being copied as I noticed having about 50 GB free space left, I had experienced windows "delayed write failed" and a massive partition failure with no possibility to recover data. The system would no longer boot and the whole MBR was damaged. As the result, I have lost all data on my new disk.
Although, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my laptop and that is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am certain that as an end user of a Toshiba product I have the right to know about a max HDD size limitation information for my notebook model. Therefore, I request Toshiba technical support representative to give me a straight official answer to my question.
Thank you in advance,
Andrejs

Hi Andrew
> The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel
I think you are in the wrong area if you are looking for an answer from an authorized Toshiba support.
This is a Toshiba user-to-user forum! You will meet here Toshiba notebook owner and enthusiasts who share knowledge and tries solve problems but nobody from Tosh :(
I could provide my experience with the M30 Satellite and the HDD upgrade possibilities.
In my knowledge the Sat M30 supports a 40GB, 60GB and 80GB HDD for sure.
In my opinion you could use the 100GB HDD but bigger HDDs will not run and functions correctly.
So switch to a lower HDD size and enjoy the notebook!
Ive goggled a little bit and found compatible HDD and the part numbers
HITACHI GBC000Z810 -> 80GB
HITACHI GBC00014810 -> 80GB
TOSHIBA HDD2188B -> 80GB
HITACHI G8C0000Z610 -> 60GB
HITACHI G8BC00013610 -> 60GB
TOSHIBA HDD2183 -> 60GB
TOSHIBA HDD2184 -> 60GB
I hope this could help you a little bit!
Best regards

  • Is HDD recovery available for Satellite Pro 450L?

    Hi,
    i was wondering is the recovering for 450L installed on the laptop i.e. pressing certain commands when it starts up will launch it? or did a cd come with it.

    I dont know which SP L450 do you have exactly but I have checked some specifications and can say that this notebook model was offered with Windows 7 32bit Professional and WXP as recovery CD.
    So if you want to install Windows7 again you can use HDD recovery installation - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    For WXP use delivered CD/DVD.
    I recommend you to create recovery DVD for Win7.

  • UK key tops for Satellite Pro M30

    I have bought a Satellite Pro M30 in France and it has a French keyboard. I have set it up to work as a UK version but can anyone tell me how to get UK key tops so I can change them for the French ones. Failing that, does anyone have the part number for a new keyboard for this model?

    Wow! This system realy works. Thank you so much for getting back to me so soon.
    I will keep this question open for the time being just in case someone comes up with a place to get just the keycaps - hopefully that will be cheaper than buying a complete keyboard.

  • Need to know the display driver model for Satellite Pro A10

    Hi! I'm trying to find the exact display chipset model on my satellite pro A10. The driver on the toshiba website is not updated, and I can't use the correct resolution (19" Wide or 1440x900) on my external display.
    At one time before, I've could update the driver correctly, just searching by "Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME" generic driver and "extreme graphics" software at Intel website...
    But now, on Intel website they ask for the accurate model, meaning, if it's 82852 or 82855, and also if it's GM or GME...

  • Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL

    Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
    Best Regards:RatzyMazzy

    In any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
    I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

  • Need help with installing new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

    Hi All,
    My hard disk died in my Satellite Pro M10 so I decided to fit another.
    It fits fine in the caddy but just doesnt want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopping it.
    Does the M10 only accept a certain make/model?
    Also does anyone know what the highest capacity the M10 will accept?
    Many thanks.
    Regards
    J

    As far as I know there should not be problem at all. Take old and new HDD and compare the connectors. I hope they are the same. I can just imagine the new HD is not placed properly in the HDD bracket. Be sure the new one is placed as old one after removing it from the notebook.
    About max HDD capacity there is no precise info and we can just speculate about it. Try to use search option on this forum. Maybe someone already wrote about HDD upgrade on Sat/Sat Pro M10.
    The fact is that Satellite Pro is delivered with 30, 40 and 60 GB HDDs. How many GB has your new HDD?

  • Need info about HDD support for Satellite 2800

    Hi!
    What max HDD can I use in Satellite 2800-200
    Thanks .

    Hi there,
    the biggest model of the 2800 series was delivered with a 30GB HDD. But I think maybe you can try a 40 or 60GB HDD.
    The bad thing is that I cannot promise you, since the machine is a pentium 3 platform and I don´t really know how big they drives can be..
    The most secure way is to buy a external USB-HDD and just put the data on it, but thats just my opinion.. ;)

  • What is Max HDD size for MacBook Pro 15" bought in 2006-07

    Hi
    I bought a MacBook Pro 15" about 3.5 - 4 yrs ago. The model is A1211.
    It came with 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM.
    What is the maximum HDD size that this will support? The Apple store employee says, it will support only upto 160 GB. But, I am skeptical it would be that low.
    So, was wondering if anybody knows the max size, and also, which HDD would be best. I want at least 320 GB.

    You can get a 750 GB drive that is 9.5mm high. As far as I know, the 1 TB drives are all still 12.5 mm high, although that could change at any time.
    The fastest 750 GB drive I know of is this one:
    http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/laptop-hard-drives/
    It is 7200 RPM. At 5400 RPM, there are many other choices. You might want to shop at Newegg, which often has specials on drives, as does Tiger Direct. Newegg also has reviews of individual drives you can look at.
    Personally, I like Western Digital drives, and put the 500 GB Scorpio Black drive in my 2007 MBP, where it has performed without issue. The largest drive that originally shipped with my MBP was a 4200RPM 250 GB drive, the very biggest one you could order in a MBP back then.
    Any 2.5 inch SATA drive should work just fine. The only one I would avoid is WD's 640 GB drive because a number of people have has issues with it in their Macs.
    You might shop around on line a bit, and if you are torn between two or more drives, post back with what they are and ask for opinions. Everybody has favorite drives, so it may not be possible to get anything other than a bunch of opinions.
    One other thing to watch out for. Some drives are sold with or without some form of free fall sensor. Apple has its own built in sensor called the Sudden Motion Sensor. In some machines and drives, there seems to be a conflict between the drive's sensor and Apple's SMS. If that happens, you would need to disable Apple's sensor. Usually it's easier just to select the drive without a built-in sensor and let Apple's SMS work as its designed to do. In the Seagate drive I linked, it's called "G-Force", but would have a different name in a different brand.
    Incidentally, you can up your RAM to 3 GB if you like.
    Good luck!
