G62-340us Sata III

Need to replace hard drive on my G62-340US. Can I use a SATA III drive with 500GB and 7200RPM?

HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

Any Hope for a G62-340US Fix?

Next month the warranty expires on my G62-340US. The model is commonly known for its repeated freezes, blue screens, and other problems. I'm not aware of any other recent HP laptop subject to more opprobrium and, in my experience, rightly so.
I'm here to ask users whether they think we have a prayer of getting the model fixed enough through HP so that it's actually useful. The G62-340US is now quite broadly-recognized as having problems. I not only wouldn't sell mine to someone else, I wouldn't give it away except to a tinkerer. On the other hand, like many other users, I'm rather unsure HP can fix this one. It hasn't done very well so far.
This isn't my first rodeo. I've been around laptops for, well, decades, and I've had my share of problems, virtually all of which I've fixed without tech support. With the G62, we have tried everything, literally: clean installations, manual installation of drivers, installing old drivers, installing old BIOS releases, updating everything, reducing the number of programs running on startup, limiting the video demand, upgrading the RAM, running every possible HP and Microsoft utility, and even more things I can't recall to name (yes, including avoiding overheating). Were I alone, the frustration would be enough. But it's not just my time lost in trying to make this model work. Frustration abounds not just on this forum. but on countless others, including Microsoft's. Would that I had used it enough to recognize its problems and return it timely to Staples, which at least had the good judgment to quit selling it. HP, however, still peddles it to students and others looking for a solid, reasonably priced laptops.
HP support apparently is in disarray, giving customers varying and seemingly contradictory advice. And you don't have to read the forums to figure this out. You need not even call HP. Some time back HP posted firmware F.29, apparently to fix freezes under certain circumstances, but instead made things worse and now only F.27 is supported. (The G62-340US has an AMD processor. Similarly numbered models have Intel processors, but evidently similar problems, and have a different current BIOS.) One third-party support site still refers users to F.28, which the site correctly notes is, as of Oct. 27, 2011, still made available on HP's FTP site. At least tell customers clearly which firmware to use and whether they are better off rolling back their BIOS upgrades.
Is the BIOS fix as yet to be released? Is there any fix? Are significant numbers of the computers inherently defective, at least as combined and assembled together by HP, at the system board or processor level? Whatever the problems, give us a break, HP, and take the machines back for recycling while giving users a voucher or discount or something other than a run around in tech support. Instead, I suppose my G62 will find its way to a basement or a garage. But I don't like the waste in that option, and I'm sure many others are not particularly fond of it, either.
For those interested in just some of the abounding complaints, please see these links. G62-340US owners, read them and weep, I suppose. Better yet, come back here and tell your stories.

Can i install sata III hard drive?

Hi, i've an iMac G5 20" iSight with an intel core duo 2ghz. I would like to know if i can install a sata III hard drive like 128GB Crucial m4 2.5" SSD.
Thx a lot.

First, you do not have an iMac G5. G5s are PPC machines, but yours is an Intel model.
You can install a SATA III drive but I would not spend the money since your model only supports SATA I or SATA II depending on which model you have. I would also be careful about using Crucial SSDs because they may not all work in a Mac. I would get your SSD at OWC instead. You will find their equivalent product for SATA I or SATA II here. I have two of these drives, and they are excellent.

I emailed Toshiba regarding this issue and this is their reply:

I am very happy with my Portege R835, except for the sata-issue....severely limiting my SSD speed, as I as many others bought this computer specifically because I thought it supported Sata 3. It is absolutely horrific of Toshiba to limit the sata speeds without telling their customers about it!! They will definitely lose thousands of customers on this rather stupid move of theirs. Unbelievable!! Why ruin such a good computer. Sell customers a Ferrari not telling them it's speed limited to 80mph. Toshiba; be up front about such vital information to your customers!!!

On my Macbook pro 15 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive. Is that true?

On my Macbook pro 15, 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive. Is that true?

That is correct. The tech specs indicate:
Hard Drive Interface
6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
Optical Drive Interface
3.0 or 6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)

Apple Pro RAID card is not compatible with 3TB drives and never will be it now seems. It also lacks any real performance and is destined where RAID 5 is a must.
SSDs are a more interesting matter in choice and support... but not traditional platter type drives.
I use SSD for system now 100% on multiple systems, 10K WD VR ($200 for 1TB / 180MB/sec and variety of WD blacks and Green.
2008 has some interesting stuff, PCIe mix and support and booting, but more choices in GPU. Runs best with all 8 DIMM slots filled. Was the first to have UEFI to support 64-bit kernel but does not support industry standard enough to support Windows 8 UEFI.
Storage market would be a total mess like it was back in 2004 when SATA 1.0 moved to 2.0 and lots of problems. SATA 1.0 in early G5 was just PATA with an SATA interface chip slapped on and not "native" SATA. THAT is where the "will the IBM Hitachi or Seagate or Maxtor" really did require research. Not with Mac Pro line 2006 and on.

SATA III IN MACPRO 2009 and ML?

I have to replace two RAID drives and want to know if WD Black Caviar 2TB SATA III will be compatible with my MP 2009 and OS 10.8.3.
Thanks.

The fastest available rotating drives can source a burst of data off the platters at about 1G bits/sec. That is less than SATA I.
1) Which version of SATA is supported is not a limitation for most uses. Modern rotating drives are backward-compatible.
2) Do not pay extra for advanced SAT Bus speeds, as you will not see an improvement in performance based on faster transfer rates. It ends up being "More Headroom " not "More performance".

I need to replace the keyboard on my G62-340US laptop. anyone know the HP part number i need?

i spilled coffee onto the keyboard of my HP G62-340US laptop a couple of months ago. i flipped it over quickly and dried it with a hair dryer, but the keys no longer work. the computer is working, currently with a USB keyboard, but that limits my portability quite severely. can someone please direct me to HP's parts lookup so that i can order a replacement keyboard? thanks

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

Keyboards with their corresponding part numbers can be found in Chapter 3, page 18.

I have a late 2011 mac book pro and I'm wondering if it uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive? Which eventually I'm going to replace with a SSD.

I was wondering if the late 2011 macbook pro uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive. The reseason I'm asking this is because some day I'm going to replace the Hard drive for a SSD drive down the road and would like to use all the performance of the SATA controler.

Sata III hard drive cable compatible with older generation of macbook pro

Would my macbook ( 17 in mid 2009 ) be compatible with a new hard drive cable ( sata III ) ? I upgraded my hard drive to Samsung Pro 840 and wanted to upgrade my sata II cable to a sata III for faster read and write. Is this possible?

Dave The Newbie,
replacing the cable will not increase the interface speed, just as putting racing slicks on a minivan won’t make it a dragster. I have the same model SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and my MacBook Pro’s SATA interface is limited to SATA II, just like yours. Unless you’re planning on mainly running disk-bound apps, it’s not something that you’ll need to worry about — just enjoy the SSD as is.

Compatibility ssd sata III and macbook pro 13 december 2009

Hello I have a macbook pro 13 that I bouhgt in December 2009 i wanted to know what SSD is compatible, is sata III ok?

Either a sata II or III drive will be compatible with your MBP 2009.

Right, MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(Built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G not working, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III.

My MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G are not working together, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III and in my MacBook Pro it does not work.
Now MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 built May onward do not have this problem it was fixed in the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. (So there is a problem). Cam I have my MacBook Pro fixed please.

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

Does dv6-6153cl support SATA III HDDs?

I'm having trouble with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HDD. I want to replace it, and upgrade it, but I'm not sure what HDDs I can use.
I'd like to know if I can install a SATA III HDD into my dv6-6153cl laptop. From what I can tell it currently has a SATA II HDD installed. Can I upgrade to SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?
This question was solved.

Get the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard would only support SATA-II (not true in your case) you can use SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, again, your motherboard has the HM65 chipset which supports SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is if it has USB 3.0 it also has SATA-III. Not 100% true but awfully close to always true.

Plz recommend a SATA-III controller card [solved]

I only need this to control a single SSD (new vertex 4) so internal connectors would be great. I want something that someone can endorse as problem-free. In reading some online reviews, it seems as though some are NOT linux compatible, for example: Rosewill RC-227
Several specifically mention Linux positive feedback:
Koutech IO-PESA230 reported to use a Marvell 88SE9128.
Rocket Highpoint 620 reported to use a Marvell 88SE9128.
I'd rather take a recommendation from a fellow Archer with some experience using the hardware. Thanks in advance.

Don't have experience with that but I would go with something from LSI, Intel or Adaptec those are major players of controller market so they should know what they're doing. For ~50$ there is Adaptec 1220SA, guy from this thread has it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98632, he's active, you can PM him The problem is Sata II, guess Vertex4 needs Sata III?
Did you consider PCI Express SSD like Revo drive or something similar? They're pricey but you don't have to spend 50$ on controller. Don't know your price tag though.
Cheers.

DOES MSI GT70 SUPPORT 6Gbps SATA III?

I would seriously take a look at this thread if you're looking to replace the SuperRaid mSATA SSD with a normal sized 2.5" hard drive....

There should be information there for getting the correct components to do this.
