Which HDD-brand is usually build into a Satellite A200-29L originally?

Hello there, im new here.
I got a question for you, maybe someone here can help me with this.
I got an old, used Toshiba Satellite A200 29L here and i ask myself which harddrive i supposed to be in this when bought originally.
The notebook is atleast 5 years old, probably even older.
At the moment there is a Fujitsu harddrive with 250 GB in it, but i wanted to know if this is the laptops original harddrive with which it was sold back then in store.
The reason i ask myself this question is that this notebook has been with me for a while and i can't remember if i ever changed the harddrive of it or not. This problem gets more aggravated as i just found a 500 GB harddrive of the company Toshiba here and i can not remember of which notebook i would have removed that.
I found this (might be in german):
http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-p...lite-a200-29l/
Here it is written that this notbook comes with a 250GB harddrive (although the manufacturer of it is not mentioned).
On the other hand:
http://www.amazon.de/TOSHIBA-Satelli.../dp/B00518EOKI
Based on this link it seems that there are official 500 GB harddrives for this notebook as well.
I know this might be a strange question, but i am pretty sure that some of you got an answer for me here
Thank you in advance and best regards.

Maybe it sounds stupid now but it is not possible to find such information. All we can find is the HDD capacity. In the notebook specification is not mention which brand is the HDD.
Maybe someone with identical notebook model can help you.
Anyway, you can exchange or upgrade HDD anytime you want. All you need is SATA HDD (SATA connector).
Satellite A200 is pretty old notebook model but what you can do is to upgrade it with SSD and install Win7 32bit. Believe me you will be surprised how fast this old piece of hardware can be.

Which harddisk brand would you suggest?

I'm not sure if this question fits this forum, but I have no idea who else to ask. So I hope you can give me some advice.
I want to buy the new Mac Power TAURUS housing for 2 SATA harddisks.
This one here:
http://www.heyfile.com/photo/2007/20070319_MacPowerTaurus/11.jpg
Now I'm looking for two harddisks to build into it. But I cant decide which brand to buy. Maxtor, Hitachi, Samsung & Co.
Each disk should have between 200 and 500 GB.
Background: I'm sick of burning BackUp DVDs. I want to set the disk to Mirror-RAID and only use it for back-up. So the disks dont need realtime-video performance. Size & prize ist more important to me.
Best regards,
Jan / Germany

We just bought 6 Maxtor 1TB drives. No problems yet.
Apples uses Hitachi drives in their RAIDs. We have two almost 3 year old Xserve RAIDs that have been in constant use for this time period. Two drives have failed within the past 4 months, but that is still just 2 out of 28, and they are 3 years old. I wouldn't consider Hitachi drives unreliable based on that.
I haven't used Samsung drives. You don't mention Seagate, and that's good. They are the only drive manufacturer I would specifically recommend against. We have Seagate drives in our Windows servers and the darn things have been failing right and left, some of them while still under warranty. Personally, I don't think Seagate has made a decent drive since 1986.

How to insert the data which is present in the variable into the table

Hi,
Let's consider that I have one table and I have stored the table column names in one variable and their values in another variable.
I want to insert the data that is present in the variables into the table.
I tried the following way :
Declare
V_columns    Varchar2(50) := 'Empno';
V_values       Number(10) := 101;
Begin
Insert Into Emp (V_columns) Values (V_values);
End;
The above procedure gives an error : PL?SQL : ORA-00904 : "V_COLUMNS": invalid identifier
Using the Execute Immediate, we can insert the data which is present in the variables into the table.
Is there any other way to insert the data which is present in the variable into the table..?
Can anyone please give me the solution..?
Thanks..

plz use this...
DECLARE
   v_columns   VARCHAR2 (50) := 'Empno';
   v_values    NUMBER (10)   := 101;
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE    'Insert Into Emp ('
                     || v_columns
                     || ') Values ('
                     || v_values
                     || ')';
   COMMIT;
END;

"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.

Can you determine which secure zone you are logged into?

Hi all,
Is there a tag that tells you which secure zones you are logged into and display it on the screen. Or even javascript.
Thanks

Thanks Liam.
I kind of worked out the you need to pull out the page id out of the URL and display it that way, but it fails if you have more than one page (you could check across all pages that are part of the secure zone I guess).
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Anyway thanks again.

Which hdds are compatible with hp pavilion dv6700t cto entertainment notebook pc (out of warranty)

I recently purchased a Seagate momentus as replacement http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 thinking it would be compatible but when i tried to replace
the connections(interface) was not compatible with the laptop. Is there an adapter to resolve this problem?
if not which hdds are compatible?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
If you have the original HDD, check that there is not a black plastic adapter that you can pull off the old drive and fit to the new one.

I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL?

I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL? major problem is that my current motorola phone is issued to me from my employer but phone ***** so i want to upgrade to the ipone i purchased but it still needs to work like my company phone as they pay the bill. help me pls

A Sprint iPhone uses CDMA when in the US. The SIM is used only when not in the US.
To use it in the US, you have to have Sprint activate it, but it is unlikely they will activate in on your company's account.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Which HDD interface for which drives?

Hello,
I have read Harm's and others' excellent advice on drive configuration, but am not sure about which drives to put on which interfaces. Assuming an X99 motherboard has 2 M.2 PCIE sockets, 1 SATA Express port, 1 SATA Express controller with 1 port, 8 SATA 6 GBs, and possibly a PCT RAID card. Which of these connectors would you use for which drive, and why? (I suppose another way to ask this might be which hdd uses benefit the most from increased speed--OS, application, pagefile, media, etc?)
Also, closely related, one thing I cannot discern from what I have read so far is where lies the point of diminishing returns. For a system used for a mix of Premiere/Photoshop/AE, using as HaswellE, 32Gb, and say a 980, how many drives and how much drive throughput is required to prevent HDD from being a significant bottleneck?
Thanks for any thoughts!!

Normally PCI-E slots are a premium for editing systems and config options so I don't recommend wasting those on NVMe drives or adapter cards. I would suggest the Sata ports for storage usage and a SSD OS drive for sure. A SSD cache drive is a good idea as well provided it's big enough. Normally you want a 256GB Cache drive if so.

Which HDD is compatible with HP 120W Advanced Docking station (NZ222AA)

Please tell me which HDD is compatible with integrated SATA upgrade bay of the HP 120W Advanced Docking Station (NZ222AA).. I can't find the info neither in user's manual nor at HP site. Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Please check this:
While neither station can be upgraded, both feature an upgrade bay that allows you to install an extra hard drive. If you choose to install the extra drive, you will add additional gigabytes to your current laptop storage space. However, if you choose to take advantage of the extra space, a standard hard drive will not fit in the upgrade bay. HP offers a 500GB hard drive specifically designed for the upgrade bay on the 120W and 230W; you would need to order the upgrade hard drive through HP.
