Brilliant- worked a charm on my SR10 couldn't have done it without your clip especially the ZIF clip part Bought the identical Toshiba 80GB HD on Aliexpress only about USD22- took 2 weeks to arrive Thank you

Merci à Vous, pour cette superbe démonstration j'ai caméscope un hdr-xr-520-VE SONY depuis 2009 et je pense que ce doit être pareil pour changer un jour mon disque dur s'il tombait en panne je voudrais vous demander, une fois le disque dur remplacer sur le caméscope, comme le caméscope se ré initialise t'il si le disque dur est vierge ??? Merci par avance pour votre réponse

Comment from : @nunesenalvanalva8742

Works great on DCR-SR300 for upgrade to SSD I used a MSATA to IDE ZIF adapter from Micro Sata Cables #BC67546 and 120 GB Kingston SSD #SMS200S3/120G Had to add tape under the ZIF cable as socket is for thicker cable There is a bit of extra room that was filled with PCB bubble wrap Camera says 1789 minutes left in 9M high quality mode

Comment from : @MaffiLu

Thanks for the video! I upgraded to a 160gb Toshiba MK1634GAL from an iPod classic Not sure if it works fully yet, will test further, but for now: 1174 min recording time!!!brbrbrUpdate: It records fine, I can play back the recorded files on my computer I can however not play back the files on the camera, it says "data error" I will probably re-install the 40GB and try another ZIF disk later

Comment from : @Obaze

What is the model number for the next step up toshiba 120gb?
Comment from : @pepiniillo

This is the same procedure to upgrade the hard drive in a Panasonic SDR-H40P The same brand and type of hard drive is used too
Comment from : @DaleGoins

Will this work when upgrading a SR62 from a 30GB ZIF drive to a 120GB ZIF drive? Thank you for the help in advance
Comment from : @bumpinite

would any Toshiba ZIF type hard drive work? They have 240gb Toshiba ZIF type hard drives for $150 now which would provide almost 30 hours of 1080 HD video
Comment from : @lifehackertips7598

now i'm getting a c:1302 error (it says overheating, but its a media error), and clues?
Comment from : @flowinsounds

Tsagami, I will be doing an SSD upgrade on my Sony Camcorder similar to this one mine is an HDR-XR the cameras look similar and it took me 5 screws to undo I just ordered my SSD ZIF drive and i will make video and post as a reply
Comment from : @vladyerus

I have a Handycam DCR-SR47 I wonder if I can do the same from this model to another as you show on the video Thanks
Comment from : @oswaldo05025

Have you Tried to format the hardrive?
Comment from : @Beth-El

once you install the new hardrive did the camera give you the option to format the new hardrive?
Comment from : @Beth-El

Wow!!! yes thanks!!
Comment from : @RaymardRJNL

Replaced mine today, I was a bit heavy handed with the black ZIF bar on the old 40 Gig drive, the new 80Gig is working fine
Comment from : @kevlec1947

He gives specific instructions saying your best bet is to replace the drive with an exact model, he EVEN says use the same manufacturer Sorry your experiment didn't work but you're not likely to get an explanation for why your camcorders BIOS isn't configured to function with a technology that wasn't even in use when the camera was designed
Comment from : @okzsub949

Steve, try eBay, Amazon, NewEgg, Best Buy, or better yet, use Google to do an internet search for "BUY ZIF DRIVE" <-- that's probably faster than waiting for a response on YouTube
Comment from : @okzsub949

Perfect instructions! Saved me a ton of money Anyone who is the least bit handy with computers can accomplish this in about ten minutes Only difficulty was my unfamiliarity with ZIF drives, but the mechanism is similar to other ZIF clips Take your time, use a light touch, and you can't go wrong
Comment from : @okzsub949

minha camera esta dando erro de disco alguem sabe porque ?
Comment from : @jonathanpublicitario

worked for me! thanks
Comment from : @whydotheathensrage

Comment from : @TeamVcreative

Comment from : @nenxio99

what about the SSD?
Comment from : @naranjo01b

Can you install the largest sized hard drive the same way or will the camcorder have capability issues?
Comment from : @TheJohnKhuu

Hey will this also fix an error im getting currently, it says unable to access hdd, will that be a hdd problem?
Comment from : @EASTYJAZ34

Went through the whole process of possibly getting Sony to help me My camera is one month past warranty and Sony wants to charge me $42100 to repair it Luckily for me it is stuck open, unlike many that have tha half stuck problem I would have thought there would be a recall as there are so many with the same problem Needless to say, after a life time of purchasing Sony products, this will be my last one
Comment from : @Lean540

would it work on sony dcr-55e
Comment from : @Darkpiggy1

I don't suppose you have any insight on how to fix the dreaded stuck lens cover issue?
Comment from : @Lean540

CLUTCH My HDD just died on my 2 yr old Panasonic Wont read Looks like I'm just going to give this a shot You can hear the old HDD clicking away so its shot Thanks
Comment from : @tunaman4u2
