Satellite Pro P300-26U - Can I use a second HDD?

Satellite P300 family support raid0 and double HDD. All model? User manual of 26U don't say any word about this. Model like P300-1BP has double HDD.
Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.
Thanks.
Guido

Hi
The Satellite P300 series doesnt support RAID!
There is NO RAID controller on the motherboard.
But you are right; the Satellite Pro P300-BP supports 2 HDDs but this does not meant that it would support RAID!
Furthermore you should know that P300 series supports different hardware specifications.
This means that not all P300 would be able to use 2 HDDs!!!
It could be possible that Satellite Pro P300-26U is not able to use 2 HDDs even though the Satellite Pro P300-BP support 2 HDDs.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - How can I add a second HDD?

    Hi there guys/gals,
    I noticed that my Satellite Pro A300D has an extra HDD slot on the right hand side but no hard drive case and no screws and the cover has pointy things on this
    How can I get hold of these so I can add an extra HDD .
    Many thanks.

    No. It has its sata connection.
    I just need to know where I can find the part numbers or buy the parts from such as the hard drive cradle and cover piece.

  • Satellite Pro A200-1NB - Can I use Windows 7 64bit?

    This is my laptop: Satellite Pro A200-1NB Part Number : PSAE7E-00V00CG3

    Can I use it on Windows 7 x64? I see that there are not all drivers present in 64bit version so I want to know if everything will work property with 64 bit Windows?
    Thanks for reply
    Mario

    Hi buddy,
    Youre right. According the Toshiba European driver download for Windows 7 64bit are not all drivers available. I have checked the downloads for Vista 64bit and therefore all drivers you need are available.
    Vista and Windows 7 drivers are similar so you can try to use the Vista 64bit drivers. The most Vista drivers also work on Windows 7.
    Furthermore if something will not work you can use other drivers from Satellite A300 for example. This notebook supports Windows 7 64bit and the drivers should be similar I think.
    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    Hii!
    Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
    The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
    Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
    Also...
    Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
    I dont understand!
    If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
    As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
    Thanks!

    Of course the Recovery CD will work.
    The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
    > Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!
    > If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
    In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
    Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.
    Best regards

  • Satellite A200-1S5 - Can I use a second HDD and RAID?

    Hi all,
    Is Toshiba Satellite A200-1S5 eligible for adding a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as far a I know - could it help?
    Thanks,
    Denis

    The Satellite A200-1S5 does NOT support RAID!!!
    But some A200 could use two HDDs (but NOT RAID!!!) There are different A200 models which supports different hardware specifications.
    Therefore you can find the second bay at the bottom of the unit.
    But if there is no connector for second HDD then this means that there is no second HDD controller and you cannot use second HDD in this A200!!!
    Bye

  • Can I use the second HDD in a Mini for Time Machine?

    I am looking to replace one of the HDDs in a Mac Mini with an SSD, this would be for the main OS to work on and all my files, I am not a big advocate of spreading around my files over multiple data silos. I was wondering then, as I don't have a Time Capsule, whether it would be possible to dedicate the second HDD for exclusive use of Time Machine, backing everything up?
    I don't have a Mini at the moment and so don't know how OS X treats the existing setup, is the HD treated as one, or are the two clearly separate? It's a mystery to me why there are two in the first place, I summise that it was an attempt by Apple to create the illusion of a fater computer by adding in a small amount of SSD to complement the larger (and cheaper) HDD?
    Anyway, would splitting the two work and would it be easily achievable with existing tools in OS X?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can use the 2nd HDD with Time Machine as your TM back up drive.
    As long as you are able to format your new SSD and the HDD, you can use them independently. I would advise using Terminal and the diskutil commands to do this as Mountain Lion 10.8.3's GUI Disk Utility will see the SSD and HDD as needing to be "fixed" (drives marked in RED) and if you choose to FIX the drives your two drives will automatically be setup as a Fusion drive and all data on the drives will be lost.

  • Satellite Pro P300-1AY - Can it be upgraded to DDR3 RAM?

    I currently have 3,072 (2,048 + 1,024) MB | maximum expandability : 8,192 MB / technology : DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)
    And was wondering if this could be upgraded to 4,096 (2,048 + 2,048) MB / DDR3 RAM (1066 MHz) .

    Hi!
    No, you cant upgrade the notebook with DDR3 RAM. The point is that these modules will not fit in the RAM slots and they have different specifications.
    If you want to upgrade the RAM to 4GB you have to buy DDR2-RAM. You can buy it from every manufacture that you want but I have good experience with Kingston modules.
    And you know already the requirements for 4GB? You need a 64bit OS to use it! ;)

  • Satellite Pro P300 has just died on me

    Hi,
    Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) simply died on me...no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the ON button it is DEAD.
    The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still giving me nearly 20volts.
    I took the laptop apart to check the DC in connector, thats ok.
    I assume after some research its a motherboard fault. Typically my warranty ran out 2 months ago!!
    Cost of a new replacement motherboard so far quoted is 180, not too eager to spend that as I have a tax bill to pay at the end of this month!
    Any ideas to what the problem could be?
    I have found a mobo on eBay which is a p300-1a8 going for a song but would that be compatible?
    What are all the variations in the motherboards?
    Would any other motherboard be compatible?
    Any ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated and I thank anyone in advance for any ideas.
    Cheers
    Steve

    Yes and no.
    You can also imagine that different P300 notebooks have also different ports. Some of them have HDMI some probably not. There is also the difference.
    Different ports, different processor or different graphic card. Maybe some models don't have even webcam and missing controller on motherboard.
    So, if you want to have identical hardware configuration please be sure you use motherboard with the same model number.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - HDMI output port doesn't fit

    Hello All,
    Well this is starting to drive me to distraction and Im hoping theres someone who can put me out my missery lol.
    I have been trying to hook my laptop (toshiba satellite pro p300) up to my LCD TV via the same HDMI cable I use for my PS3 but the connector just wont fit. I keep finding all these posts in various forums saying how they cant get sound out the HDMI connection...that would be great, as at least that means they have them connected.
    Are there different connections for HDMI? The one I have is diagonal connector but the port on the laptop is more square, and just doesnt fit. So if there isnt a connector, does that mean I have a funky port, on the laptop.
    There is also the matter of connection my laptop to my amp that controls the surround sound system. What connection is best to use, as there is no real audio out connections?
    Cheers

    Hi
    Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro P300 you have exactly? I mean the exact model number.
    Maybe you can also post a picture of the HDMI port. Normally there are no different HDMI ports, all have the same physical dimension.
    Im not PS3 owner but maybe it has a special connector. Have you tried another cable?
    Regarding the audio connection I use the normal line out port for my external speakers. Did you test this?

  • Satellite Pro P300 - unable to activate the inbuilt microphone

    I purchased a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months ago and to date all is well.
    It has a webcam which I really thought I would not have any use for it but now find that I have.
    The camera works fine but I am unable to activate the inbuilt microphone.
    Can someone point me in the right direction please

    Hi
    You have to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal mic too.
    The point is that the internal microphone is connected with the internal webcam and the webcam software controls the both devices.
    Please check also if the internal mic was enabled in the webcamsoftware correctly
    Furthermore I would recommend updating the sound driver.
    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - Webcam driver open fail on Windows 7

    I've installed the RC of Windows 7 64 Bit on my Satellite Pro P300-PSPC5E and I'm experiencing problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.
    I've tried to install the camera assistant software, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I keep getting an error with 'Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.' neither of a camera or computer restart work. I do get picture in Skype but I can not edit settings or so (dark picture) and the microphone is way more silent then it was on windows XP, although it's set on the maximum sound.
    Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

    Hi
    I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there are no official drivers for Windows 7 available.
    You have already tried the Windows Vista driver so thats all what you can do. Alternative you visit the Toshiba US page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for Windows 7 beta driver. Maybe it works.
    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite Pro P300-1CG wakes up from sleep mode when unplug USB mouse

    I often transport my laptop from one working place to another.
    Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
    However every time I unplug the USB mouse - the laptop wakes up and I have to put it into sleep again.
    This is annoying. Is there any way to set up laptop _not_ to wake up on USB activity?
    I didn't find any option in power settings of Vista, neither in BIOS.
    My BIOS is up to date (just updated, but didn't help).
    I use Windows Vista Business on Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG.

    Hi
    > Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
    Why you dont unplug the USB mouse firstly and then put the notebook into the sleep mode?
    This would solve your issue ;)
    From my knowledge the BIOS provides only the options: Wake-up on keyboard and Wake up on LAN.
    There are no options for Wake up on USB and therefore such settings cannot be changed...
    Cheers

  • Satellite P745: Win 7 can't use webcam and microphone

    Hi everyone,
    I`ve just bought a Satellite P745 in a Best Buy store and, after getting it at home (Brazil),
    I reinstalled the OS - the original was a Win 7 Home, I installed a Win 7 Pro.
    The problem is that with the Win 7 Pro I simply can`t use my webcam and Mic.
    The device neither is detected by Devices Manager, so I think it`s more than a missing driver.
    I installed all the drivers from the Toshiba website.
    My doubt is:
    1. as I`ve read that this is a USB camera, is it possible that the device is not being detected because some kind of USB driver conflict? All USB drivers look like OK, but..
    2. as a second option, is it possible that there`s some disconnected USB port inside the notebook?
    3. After all, is there some ultimate test that I can make that gives me the answer if my USB is broken or if it`s just an installation issue?
    Thank you in advance,
    Filipe

    > 1. as I`ve read that this is a USB camera, is it possible that the device is not being detected because some kind of USB driver conflict? All USB drivers look like OK, but..
    Could be possible
    > 2. as a second option, is it possible that there`s some disconnected USB port inside the notebook?
    This is possible too, but in my opinion the issue is related to a missing software
    > 3. After all, is there some ultimate test that I can make that gives me the answer if my USB is broken or if it`s just an installation issue?
    Of course, you should test the notebook with Toshiba preinstalled and configured image.
    I hope you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk before you have formatted the HDD and installed Win7 Pro. Such recovery disk would help you to set the notebook back to factory settings and to test the webcam and mic
    However, you should also try to install the webcam software and should also test if the internal mic is enabled in control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
    Usually if you want to use internal mic, then this should be set as default device.

  • Recovery CD for XP in combination with dual HDD on Satellite Pro P300

    On my Satellite Pro P300 there are two harddisks, both 160 GB.
    At the moment Windows Vista Business is installed, as it was preinstalled.
    On the first disk there are 3 partitions, one EISA-partition, one Vista boot-partition and one partition for HHDRecovery (contains image for Vista Product Recovery).
    In Vista there is an option for Complete PC Backup. This provides the possibility to completely restore Vista to the situation at the time of the backup.
    I made a Full PC Backup of the complete first hard drive (3 partitions) and saved it on the second harddrive.
    Now I want to use the provided Toshiba Product Recovery for Windows XP to install Windows XP on the laptop.
    I assume that the first harddrive will be completely overwritten, but I am not sure if the second drive will also be overwritten.
    Does anybody know if my data on the second drive will be lost when i use the Product Recovery for XP?
    I would like to preserve the data on the second drive, because it gives me the option to restore the laptop to the situation with Vista without reinstalling/activating all applications.
    Also all my personal files are on that drive.

    Normally it would be no problem to temporarily remove the second harddisk.
    But I am not sure if my warranty will be void after that; the machine is only a few weeks old.
    If the warranty is still valid after removing and reinstalling the second harddisk, I will try that option.
    I just wonder if anybody knows for a fact that it does not write the second harddisk.
    As you said, I also assume that it will not write the second harddisk, but I just want to be sure.
