Qosmio G40-10E - Does it support a 12mm Hard Drive?

I've been searching on the internet for this, and I've found some websites say that it DOES support a 12mm hard drive in its bay, and others have not said this at all.
I just want confirmation that a 12mm hard drive, of 2.5", will fit into the laptop, as I wish to upgrade to the new WD 1TB 2.5" HDD, but it's not the standard 9.5mm size, but 12mm instead.
Thanks

Hi
I think Dr.Lamp is right. If your notebook is compatible to this HDD its possible to use HDDs with 12.5mm height. So you can buy this 1TB Western Digital HDD that you want.
After this you can give us a feedback how it works. 1TB is pretty much disk space and Im interested in it how it works. :)

  • Recording input with Qosmio G40-10E

    Hey
    I've got the Qosmio G40-10E.
    Trying to record some TV, been messing around just seeing if I could get it working, but no luck.
    First I tried playing about with media center, couldn't find a way.
    I then googled it and found this... (I realize it's a different model, but it's the closest example I could find)
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21006
    But the picture enhancement utility isn't in Toshiba assist thing for watching input (tried that first just to test). I downloaded cyberlink and that could only find two devices (webcam and Toshiba capture).
    Any idea? I'm linked up to a TV using it's composite out going to the video-in cable (going from composite to, i think it's, a 3.5 jack (same used for headphones anyway) I got with the laptop.
    Thanks in advance for any help : )

    Wait a moment. Have you problem with recording only or you are not able to watch TV at all?
    I have made some experiments with Qosmio G30 and WMC and I was able to record all available programs. Because of that I would like to know if you are able to watch TV or not.

    Any suggestions why the F11 System Recovery does not work during boot and how to fix the problem would be appreciated. I have does various disk checking and file checking on both the original and new hard drive with no errors.
    Thank you in advanced.

    Hi,
    How did you clone the HDD ? One-for-one or different method ?

  • If i download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space?

    If I download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space on my mac?

    iPhoto and Lightroom are similar apps - although LR is a far more capable app - and that the price it should be, of course. But the two apps are similar in that they both offer
    Photo Management
    Non-Destructive Processing
    So, essentially, they both play the same part in the workflow.
    The procedure would be to
    Download the images from the camera into the Photo Manager (regardless of which one you choose)
    Review and select in the Manager
    Trash the unwanted with the Manager
    Process the images - that is, in most cases edit them.
    It is at this point - and only this point - that Photoshop might come into play. Both of these apps can act as a 'front-end' for Photoshop - after all, they're the Managers. But in truth, if you're using Lightroom then you very likely do not need Photoshop at all, and for anything that does require layers you can use one of the many - much less expensive - alternatives. But I think the common experience is that with Lightroom (like Aperture) the requirement for the sledgehammer that is Photoshop really fades away.
    So pick one horse and ride it. Choose between LR and iPhoto. Use it like it's intended. Don't get involved in other necessary apps. Don't review before bringing the photo into the manager - that's what the manager is for.

  • Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but that's not true?

    Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but there should be plenty of space on it?

    You need to get a program like OmniDiskSweeper,  it will check your drive and see what is taking up the space.  From there you can decide what to do.

    LR 5 does not recognize my external hard drive. It has  recognized this drive in the past. No help at any Adobe site.

    My external HD  contains photos I have worked on in the past.
    Additionally, I have added photos to LR5 directly onto my Mac HD. (38
    photos added when working in the absence of my external HD)
    Presently, in the Library mode, the Le Cie external HD is not seen in the
    upper left hand corner  "Source" location.
    The only way to "see" the La Cie HD and its photos is in the "Import" mode.
    These photos have previously been imported.
    I wish to use the La Cie HD as my source in the Library mode and proceed to
    the Develop mode.
    In other words, work on my previously imported, previously worked on
    photos, now on the La Cie.

  • Does it has "share a hard drive" capability?

    Does it has "share a hard drive" capability?

    The TC is a shared hard drive.. with no form of backup.. Fundamentally it is a backup device.. not a NAS.. but you can store stuff on it if you take the risk and can appreciate it is slow.. has absolutely no media ability and is difficult to use in any way other than intended.

  • Qosmio G40-10E: How to conenct to the sky LAN broadband

    I know nothing about computers.
    I'm buying the G40-10E and geting sky broadband and they say you need a spare ethernet on the computer.
    All I can find is RJ11 and RJ45 is this the ethernet in a differnent name.
    If i cant link it to broadband this laptop ill save my money.

    Hi
    Dont worry dude.
    The Qosmio G40 supports all ports which are important to establish the sky broadband.
    The RJ45 is the Ethernet port; known as Lan port ;)
    You can connect the sky broadband modem to this port using the simply LAN cable ;)
    Hoe I could clarify this ;)

  • Can I use two HDDs in Qosmio G40-10E

    Does anyone know if it is possible to fit two Hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that there were supposed to be two hard drive slots in it?
    If so where is it located?
    Would ther be any issues around extra heat that might be generated etc?
    I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have already had a screen replaced (faulty backlight).
    Have many other people had any problems?
    I'm just wondering whether its worth taking out the extended warrnty.
    Cheers.

    For those who are interested (from Natalie at Topaz):
    P000488540: Hard Drive Holder = £0.60
    P000417800: Screws = £0.87 each (4 required)
    Total = £3.48
    (Ex. VAT & Carriage)
    P000413670: Connector Screw = £0.95
    I have no idea what the 'connector screw' is, but at a quid, I've ordered one anyway. I've also had two emails - written in Natalie's own fair hand... on her keyboard... in just 24 hours.
    What a fabulous bunch they are at Topaz! (The also do repairs and servicing for Toshiba.)
    I don't know how long it'll take to arrive but at least I've found the right kit, and from a company who really do have superb customer service - even to having human beings write emails. Amazing service so far from Topaz - gotta' love 'em.
    Cheers,

  • Does Time Machine support an external hard drive attached to Airport?

    I was interested in setting up my external hard drive to my Airport Extreme base station and use Time Machine wirelessly. I have seen a few different answers on the forum and I'm wondering whether this is possible. (I do not have Time Capsule.) If so, can you provide an easy step by step as to how to set it up. Thanks!

    Yes it's possible. Connect the drive and open Airport Utility. Click on the Manual Setup button. Then click on the Disks icon in the toolbar. Select the disk and turn on Sharing.
    You can then open TM preferences where the shared drive should appear in the list of drives. If it does not show up then you will need to "mount" the drive by selecting Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu, then double-clicking on the shared drive's icon to login as a registered user.
    Note that this is not supported by Apple.
