Hard drive for a HP Pavilion dv9723cl

What is the type of HD called for the dv9723cl - to install the HD, you PUSH it down into the connector - the one I ordered slides into the connector, which is not correct - thank you

Hi,
Look at your old Hard Drive and you should find that the connection ( usually a black plastic adapter ) can be removed and fitted to the new HDD.

  • Second Hard drive for HP Pavilion dv-7 3157 ca

    I am looking at putting a second hard drive into my HP Pavilion dv-7 3157 ca, I know the first hard drive has a maximum size of 500 GB, but as for the second drive can it be 1 TB or is the total of both hard drive 1TB ie: 2x500 GB?
    A second question, looking for a link where I can buy the caddy, cable and hard drive, as this model is not common and the info out there is very confusing.
    Thanks for any help in this matter.
    Cheers 

    Hi tony2163,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I saw your post regarding your Pavilion. You should be able to install a 1TB drive and I have the part number for Hard Drive Hardware Kit it is 517639-001. For more information about your product and breaking down the notebook go to the link below and click on the Maintenance and Service Guide.

  • "Imminent hard drive failure" on my Pavilion G4-1209AX which is brand new

    Why do i get the message, "Imminent hard drive failure" on my Pavilion G4-1209AX which is brand new? Has Windows 7 Ultimate installed and used for one day only?
    Says something about a "Sata" disk problem.

    Hi,
    "Imminent hard drive failure" do you get this message in a black screen (as in the BIOS) or in windows.
    This could be a Hard drive failuer.
    Please run a startup test by tapping F2 when the system is powered on.

  • Looking for a new hard drive for my MacBookPro 5,2 (17" 2009 Unibody) : hybrid from seagate or a 7200rpm ?

    I am looking for a faster and higher capacity hard drive for my 2009 unibody MacBookPro 17".
    I wonder if I should go for a SSHD from Seagate model ST1000LM014 or for a standard HD but with 7200RPM.
    I am worried about the reliability of the Hybride model from Seagate and if it is really that fast.

    Hi, I have dv9730ca laptop myself and I have 2 160GB seagate 5400rpm 8MB hdd's, they have an external data transfer rate of 300MB/sec and an internal data transfer rate of 1.1GB/sec. They do get up to around 55oC (i use cpuid - hwmonitor to check this out) and I have heard using the 7200rpm hdd's can increase the heat output so I would recommend using the 5400rpm hdd's instead. The best way I have found to get over the heat issue from any laptop is to use a targus chillmat, it has 2 fans and runs off a usb port. I hope this info helps you out

  • Multiple Hard Drives for Video Editing with Premiere Elements 8?

    I'm using Premiere Elements 8 for video editing. These are the specs I'm using:
    The camcorder I used to shoot the footage is a Sony Handycam with  model number HDR-SR12. It's a digital HD video camera recorder that  shoots in NTSC 1920x1080i HD  recording. The footage was shot with AVC  HD  9M (HQ), which records in higher image quality mode. The  video  camera is connected to my computer through a USB cable.
    The  computer  itself is a Windows 7 desktop computer. The CPU is an HP  Pavilion Elite  HPE-150f PC with Intel Core i7-860 processor. I imported  the video into  Premiere by selecting "File" --> "Get Media From"  and then choosing the third  option from the top.
    My import  option is NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel, which matches the  specs of the camera I shot the footage with.
    Even with the patch 8.0.1 that should be preventing crashing, the program keeps crashing upon startup with one specific video project. Using the exact same video files for that project, I recreated the video, with Elements, and never ran into the problem. Both times, I had the patch installed.
    At the moment, I am using only the single internal hard drive for everything (software, OS, video editing, etc.). It is 1 TB in size. However, I am informed that one hard drive is not recommended for video editing, and that I need at least two hard drives, one for OS and one specifically for video editing. I was also informed of FireWire 800 and eSata; however, it does not appear that my computer supports eSata.
    Can this problem be resolved if I have an external hard drive and connect it to my computer with FireWire 800 (which the computer supports)? If not, what can be done so this problem doesn't arise in the future?
    Thanks for the help.

    When you import the footage is there a red line across the whole of the timeline?

    As you have the recreated project working fine I'd be inclined to put this down as a one-off glitch. If it happens again on a different project then it may be more worrying. You may want to consider using save-as to create multiple versions of your project (note this does NOT duplicate the source clips - so you won't be eating up much extra disk space). You could for example use save-as to create a daily version - ProjectName-Mon, ProjectName-Tue etc....

  • Hard drive in the HP Pavilion dv6-1145ew

    Do you know what could be the maximum supported hard drive in the HP Pavilion dv6-1145ew and at what speed they need to work?
    Sork for such a question but do not know much about this brand, and now space was missing. I thought about 5400rpm 1TB WD SCORPIO? Will it work in this laptop?
    Thank you

    Hi:
    I can't say for sure, but you have to make sure that if you get a 1 TB HDD, that it is the same thickness of a drive with less capacity or it may not fit in your HDD bay.
    Many 1 TB HDD's are thicker than a 500, 640 or 750 GB HDD.
    So, a 1 TB HDD should work if it has the same physical dimensions as the 500 GB HDD supported in the notebook.

    Something like this would work. You can go smaller or bigger.  Do you have the caddy, cover and connector for it?

  • How can I use one external hard drive for both Time Machine and iPhoto Library?

    I have been using a 1 TG LaCie external hard drive for Time Machine backups.  My (older) Mac has 160 GB and is almost full.  I would like to move my iPhoto Library to the external hard drive, but I've heard Time Machine doesn't share one space well.  Should I
    1.  create another partition (but will this erase what I've already saved) with Disk Utility?  *I am running Snow Leopard*
    2.  create another volume to use for iPhoto, and if so, should the two volumes be of equal size?
    3.  leave it with one partition and move the iPhoto Library to the same partition with Time Machine back ups?
    I know I don't need the entire 1 TG for back up of 160 GBs.  Please advise the best path to take.  Thank you!

    You are getting incorrect information from your ASP. If you look at drive specifications the heat generated is no different for high vs low capacity drives.
    I have upgraded the internal drive in my iMac 2007 with a 3TB Hitachi drive without any heat issues or other problems.
    Larger hard drives have higher density platters so to access any given amount data the drives travel a shorter distance. Higher capacity drives should therefore run cooler than lower density drives because the drive spends less time spinning to access data.

  • Can I format and use a Hard Drive for my mac if removed from a Desk Top PC

    Hi All,
    I wondered if you can help with some advise. I have a mackbook and love it, will never go back to pc. But, I have a desk top pc with a fairly sizable Hard Drive in it. Even though I also have a WD external Hard Drive for my macbook back up, would I be able to use my old desk top hard drive if I found a case for it to make it an 2nd external hard drive?
    Would I be able to format it for use with my mac? Or is it the bin for all the hardware?
    Thanking you in advance.
    Matt

    It'd work just fine. Apple uses pretty much the exact same parts every other computer maker does. The one exception is now they have a temp sensor cable connection built onto drives. Before they just stuck a little plastic clip on them at a specific spot. Other than that, it's no different from any other SATA drive you might buy at the likes of Best Buy or NewEgg. So as long as you partition the drive into a format readable by Mac OS X, there shouldn't be any problems.

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

  • I need to buy an external hard drive for my MacBook Air as it is almost full. Which one should I buy?

    Do I need to buy an Apple external Hard Drive for my MacBook Air?

    There is no such thing as an Apple hard drive, ...Apples doesnt make same.
    avoid western digital if possible. 
    Yes, having an external HD is necessary for data backups and keeping large media files for packing around etc.
    you need data redundancy.
    best options for the price, and high quality HD:
    Quality 1TB drives are $50 per TB on 3.5" or  $65 per TB on 2.5"
    Perfect 1TB for $68

    Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
    Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
    Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • I receive songs or photos from friends on email, and when I download them, they stay in my Downloads file. How can I move these to my hard drive for long-term storages and organization?

    How can I transfer song or photo files from Downloads on Firefox to my own hard drive for permanent storage?

    If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows.  That will get back your music.  I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.
