5400 RPM. There are no 7200 RPM drives at that capacity. However, Seagate has a 750 GB drive in the 7200 RPM speed.
750GB 2.5" Seagate Momentus 7200RPM SATA 9.5mm Notebook HD 16MB Cache
Or, their hybrid version:

    what hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel 27 inches early 2010

    You can install any 3'5" SATA hard drive on a Late 2009 iMac. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
    Note that Late 2009 and later iMacs have got the temperature sensor inside the hard drive. If you install a hard drive without a sensor, fans won't work correctly. Read > http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs

  • What hard drive can I put into my powerbook G4 titanium

    The hard drive just won't boot up no matter what I do.  Even from the repair disk.  What can I put into this thing.  I don't want to buy the wrong thing.
    thanks,
    Jon

    PATA drive, up to 320 Gig.  Look at this OWC link for some candidates.  You can filter on your exact machine to narrow down the selections..

  • What hard drive can I put in a touchsmart iq800? This is the 3rd time it's crashed.

    I have a touchsmart iq800 with windows 7, 64 bit. This is the 3rd time I've had a hard drive failure in 2 1/2 years.  I am not too familiar with computer lingo and need to know what type of hard drive to get. I called hp and they wouldn't tell me anything because I'm out of warranty. I know I have a seagate. At this point, I want something entirely different. If someone could just tell me what name, #, etc of a hard drive, I can order one. I've installed 2 already and am getting good at it. Not sure if that's good or not! thanks in advance. 

    The iq800 appears to be a series number and not a model or product number. Please provide the full HP model name and/or product number of the computer in question for accurate assistance.

  • What Hard Drive Can I use?

    Ok stupid question time. I want to get a firewire enclosure and put 3.5 hard drive in it for my mac mini. Can I buy any old hard drive and jam it into the box or do I have to buya hard drive that is specific for the Mac? I mean are hard drives mac or pc specific or are the just hard drives and formatted to the pc or mac when you buy them? I am sorry for the dumb question but I have been a PC user for years and am pretty new to the Mac world (only 1 year so far). Thanks for the reponse.

    Just curious what should I be looking for with
    regards to the enclosure? I mean is the Vantec
    Nextstar 355 the only one I can use? I was hoping to
    find one a little cheaper than $69.
    I'm new to Mac as well. I've only had mine about 2 months. As far as HDD Exclosures, you should be able to find an enclosure for less than $69. A couple things to look out for when buying an enclosure is to look at the drive size capability. I've seen enclosures that at in the $30 price, but some stop at the 200Gb size range, where the ones in the $70 range, will support the larger drives like 500Gb. Now, this isn't always the case, as I have seen some expencive enclosures that don't support beyond 200Gb drives.
    Now, if you decide to buy the enclosure, and drive as seperate pieces, you're drive will most likely not be partitioned, or formatted, as this is normally the case with boxed Western Digital, Maxtor, etc... So you'd need to take care of that with the Drive Utility that's part of your Mac after it's in the enclosure and connected to the Mac.
    As a side note, I was down at my local CompUSA and they had a 160 Gb External LaCie Firewire drive at $139.00. This was a better buy for me, as I didn't need to buy the components, didn't need to put them together, and was less money than buying a 160Gb drive and enclosure. The LaCie drive was formatted FAT32, which I quicly changed to the Mac Journaled File System.

  • Satellite M100-164 - what hard drive can I install?

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite M100-164 ... its a middle-east version of the M100, pretty much identical to the European version as far as I can tell.
    (short model no psma0e)
    I want to install a new hard drive. The spec says it uses a 5400rpm, Serial-ATA hard drive.
    Can I just use any hard drive of that type, or are there other things to watch out for (e.g. drive depth, pin configuration?)
    e.g. could I use this drive:
    "Toshiba MK2555GSX 250GB 2.5-Inch Internal SATA HDD"
    [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-MK2555GSX-250GB-2-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B002752SLU]
    ... or should I play it safe and use one that explicity says its for the M100, e.g. this one on Ebay:
    "250Gb Hard Drive Toshiba Satellite L35 L45 M100 M105"
    [http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/250Gb-Hard-Drive-Toshiba-Satellite-L35-L45-M100-M105_W0QQitemZ190276248831QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Co mputing_HardDrives_RL]
    thanks

    Hi!
    On SATA HDDs there are no capacity limits and you have on every HDD the same pin assignment. That means you can use every SATA HDD that you want and also SATA2 HDDs because they are downgrade compaitible so SATA1 standard.
    However, you can buy the cheaper version from Amazon. This HDD should also work well in the notebook.
    I hope I could help you a little bit.
    Bye

  • What Hard drives can unplug into my Airport Extreme?

    Can I plug a normal flash stick into the AirPort Extreme or do only powered external hard drives work with it.

  • What hard drives can be installed into a MBP?

    I'm looking at options for upgrading the internal hard drive on my MBP, and have noticed that there are 250GB 2.5" drives available (e.g. http://www.skycomp.com.au/productinfo.php?productsid=67390). Can you install any old 2.5" drive into a MBP? If so, how hard is it to do? Are there any common gotchas with trying to image the old drive to the new one, esp. when using BootCamp?
    Any help much appreciated. Apologies if this is a noob question.

    *"Can you install any old 2.5" drive into a MBP?"*
    Yes, as long as it's a SATA and not an IDE/ATA drive.
    *"If so, how hard is it to do?"*
    Instructions can be found at http://www.ifixit.com
    Keep in mind though, that if you do decided to install it yourself you run the risk of voiding the computer's warranty.

  • My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you

    My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you think it is? It won't recognize any hard drive I put in the machine, so might it be the sata cable?

    Boot the Recvoery USB, use Disk Utility to select the internal drive makers namea and size on the left.
    Now select erase and select the midde option and click erase, it will take a bit to complete but it's best for the drive.
    Now select Partiton tab, click the big box and Options: GUID and then Format: OS X Extended journaled and click apply.
    Quit and you should be able to install OS X now with your Apple ID and password.

  • What internal hard drive can i use to upgrade the one i have in my 13" MacBook Pro mid 2010 model?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 model machine. Love it to bits but i want more applications, more documents, more music and more iPad apps backed up, problem is I am running out of space. I want to update the hard drive inside my computer, so is this possible and what hard drive is recommended? Any help is greatly appreciated

    Any 2.5" HDD will do the trick. Your computer will run up to SATA II (3Gbps).
    But I would suggest perhaps getting a Data Doubler + swapping your DVD Drive for another HDD, so you have 2 internal HDD's?

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.
