Dell :: To Upgrade Studio 1735 Hard Drives
Jul 31, 2009I have a Studio 1735 with 2 X 250GB HDD's... but this is not enough for me. Is it possible to upgrade them to 500GB HDD's each or even 2 x 1TB drives?
If so what type of hard drive do I need and can you provide links?
This would be great as I do not want another external HDD & plus I need to reinstall Vista...too much crap on my laptop now and it frequently hangs / freezes / slow boot load etc

View 10 Replies View RelatedSony :: Hard Drives Possible In Z
Apr 25, 2009how many hard drives could fit in the Vaio Z, because on the SonyStyle site when configuring the HD's and choosing for example 256GB SSD it shows 2x128GB SSD. Does this mean 2x SSD hard drives? If so then I'm wondering why they don't make the option available to put in 2x256GB SSD's. Also, if 2 SSD's are possible, are 2 standard 2,5" spinning HD's possible?

Nov 23, 2008I bought an XPS 1530 four months ago. I went through 4 hard drives - one would fail, Dell would send a replacement ... that was the cycle. After #4 Hard Drive failed (and a tech came out to try and replace the motherboard & hard drive without success), I finally got them to agree to a "System Exchange"..
They sent me a new XPS 1530 - within 2 days the Hard Drive died! (#5)..
Anyone have any ideas (besides bad luck) of what could cause 5 failed hard drives in two different brand new systems?..
Electrical? I used the laptop at home and at my office. My office is a rented space inside another company's building.
I thought maybe electrical, but I use my old laptop their (Dell Inspiron 6000) and it has been fine. Unless something electrical causes a problem in the XPS only for some specific reason.
I have no idea, but does anyone have any "out of the box" explanations for me?
Dell is sending me a box so I can mail this 2nd laptop in to the Dell Depot for inspection and repair. My faith in the XPS 1530 is zero.
Any ideas or advice?
Dell :: Which Hard Drives Will Work In A Vostro 1700
Jan 17, 2009I have two seperate questions to ask, so will post them seperately.
I have a Vostro 1700 with a 250gb drive in it. When I bought it I had a problem with the laptop and managed to get a hard drive caddy free from Dell, so just need the drive. I know it needs to be a SATA 2.5 drive, but will any drive fit, or do I need to go for any specific ones? Is the Vostro SataII?

Sony :: Vaio ZDual Hard Drives
Oct 28, 2009I've seen on sony sites etc that one of the Z come with dual SSD hard drives.
I have a Z26GN with the standard spinning disc harddrive but am looking to put an SSD in.
I was just wondering does this mean the Z series laptops have room for 2 harddrives? Thus allowing me to keep my existing one in and add the new one?
Also with regards to SSD I've been told the intel X-25 80gb is a good choice.
I was wondering is there anything better than this?
And what do sony put in the Z series themselves?

View 10 Replies View RelatedApple :: Spare Hard Drives - Home Replacement - And Full Disk Imaging
Jan 12, 2010I currently have everything I ever need on one laptop -- a mid-2009 15" MBP. Having had a slew of hard drive problems over the past few years, and given that such disks are regularly the source of problems (before, say, a logic board), I'm considering purchasing a spare hard drive and keeping it, or the one in my machine, as a backup disk for the day when my current drive dies. The closest Apple store is ~45 minutes away, and I'm perfectly capable of doing my own computer surgery. An inoperable laptop would be a pretty significant problem for me.
So basically, my questions are twofold:
- From perusing the hard drive threads a few months back here in the Apple forum, it seems like WD's Scorpio Blue (500 GB, 5400 RPM) is the popular choice. Given the time that's elapsed since its release (and the thinning of hard drive threads after the last "big one" I found), are there any other drives, SSD or standard, that can beat it in terms of power usage / noise / performance overall without gouging the bill too much?
- I use Time Machine with a Time Capsule to keep everything nice and backed up, but an HD/SSD swap would be best done with an image of my entire drive. Is Carbon Copy Cloner still the go-to for that?

Dell :: Studio 17: 1 Or 2 Disk Drives
Mar 3, 2010I just checked out Dells web site for the Studio 17 and on the menu you can select 1 500G drive or 2 320G drives.
Does the Studio 17 have slots for two drives ??
If not, does the second drive just come in an extra box ??
What manufacture drives does Dell use these days ?
Dell :: Can You Install Two Drives On A Studio 14 (1458)?
Apr 21, 2010just wondering if it was possible. I want to add an SSD to the studio 1458 in place of the optical drive.

I know there are brackets, but can someone suggest a good site for them? Also, is it difficult to make such a conversion?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSony :: Vaio TZ Dual Hard Drive Swapping
Feb 11, 2009Just pulled the trigger on a Vaio VGNTZ290NDB for $1,439 on clearance from Sony Style.
Seems like a nice unit.
Question:
This unit comes with a 64GB SSD (1.8" PATA) and a 250GB HDD (2.5" SATA).
Given the age of the model line, I'm assuming that the PATA SSD is not of the same performance level as the new SATA SSDs, e.g., Intel X25-M.
Would it be simple enough to put in an X25-M in place of the 250GB HDD and then make it the boot drive? Or is the system limited to booting from the PATA SSD?
A dual SSD ultraportable would be... well... sweet.
Lenovo C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: GPT Format For 3 TB Hard Drives On Lenovo V570
Sep 21, 2014Lenovo V570, I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.
I have an esata port, and was going to get an internal hard drive with a case that converts the drive into an esata drive. I'm wanting to get a 3 TB drive, and in order to get it to read all 3 TB, I'll need to reformat the drive in GPT format (not MBR). Right?
I see a thing online that says the SATA controller has to be compatible with GPT in order to do this. I want to use it as an external drive, without any operating system on it, so I'm not worried about getting Windows to run on it; just if I can format it as GPT and get the full 3 TB out of the drive. I don't want to buy the 3 TB drive and then find out I can only get 2 because of the motherboard. If that site was correct, then I need to know if the sata controller is compatible with GPT.
I see this listed under the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers list: Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller.
I tried to call Lenovo support but could only tell me that she thinks I have SATA 0 or 1, but nothing about the controller in this model or GTP compatibility.
How do I find this out?

Dell :: Studio 17 And Dual Screen Output?
Nov 1, 2009I've asked Dell but they are clueless..... does anyone know if the Studio 17 laptop can output display to twin 24" screens at 1920x1200?
Ideally I would like to know if it can output a digital signal to both screens?
Dell suggested that it may be possible with a Displayport to dual DVI cable.....
I haven't ordered the laptop yet so would consider any options that would allow dual digital display.... eg. upgraded graphics card or use of a docking station.
