Can I replace the hard drive in my HP HDX16-1140​US with this hybrid hard drive?

Hi. I ran the SMART test on my hard drive (500 GB) and it said that it was about to fail soon. I would like to replace my hard drive with this one:

Is this possible? What are some other hard drives to consider?

Alright, here's what I've decided to do. I'll buy the Western Digital Scorpio Black but get the 500 GB version. Then, I'll buy an external hard drive because I know that the HDX16 in general can support two drives but I don't think my particular model has the second drive bay. Also, I think it would be cheaper too and that way I don't have to buy another drive that is the same size as my primary drive. How does that sound?

  • I download firefox 5.0 and now I'm having trouble dragging and dropping PDF files into Google Docs and I can't view the PDF once uploaded. I had no problems with this in the previous verion of Firefox

    With firefox 5.0 I can't drag and drop pdf files in the google docs screen. When I do eventually get a pdf file uploaded I can't view it. I get "no preview available". In my previous verion of firefox (4.something) I had no problems with this and I was able to drag and drop and after uploaded I could view the entire file.

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

  • Can I replace the HDD in my Satellite C70D-B -00P model with an SSD?

    Hi
    My question is in the subject line. If anyone has done this I would appreciate some tips.
    regards Stuart

    Generally speaking yes, you can do this but problem is that your notebook model doesn't have HDD cover at the bottom side.
    To have full access to the HDD the bottom cover must be removed completely but it should be done by authorized service only.
    Of course you can try to do it alone but Im afraid you may lose the warranty.
    If possible contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Can I replace the 20G drive in a 2070NR to have two 1T drives?

    I have an Envy 17 (2070NR) and it has a 1T drive and a 20G drive.  Can I replace the 20G drive with another 1T drive?

    The second, 20g drive is a flash module that is designed to speed up the system and hold important files so that the mechanical hard drive is not accessed as often, leading to better battery life, etc. blah blah. I am not sure the 20 gig drive is a standard SATA interface. You might want to look here:

    You will need the hard drive caddy for a second drive I believe.

    You've been down this path before  - and the response is exactly the same.
    how to replace cursor logic
    And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach.  Who knows
    - but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.
