15-ab236nl Pavilion: Pavilion 15-ab236nl install an SSD

Hello

I am interested in buying this laptop

Pavilion 15-ab236nl

AFAIK, there is no option for a second HARD drive, so if I change the default HARD drive with an SSD in my choice would that work? (which means I'm able to reinstall Win10 etc..)

or rather, if I had to buy a HARD drive for this model caddy, swap it with the DVD drive and install it with a SSD would that work? Do I need any special ribbon cable?

There is no information about this exploit, so if anyone has any opinions or knowledge that would be great.

I'm just asking if it is possible, not how, that would come later.

Here are the applicable maintenance manual:

Manual

The first thing I want to emphasize is that this type of change, which probably will void the warranty. That said, it is possible to install an SSD, and according to the configuration you order, you can add a second hard drive in the slot of the WSSD m2 or the SATA connector, if she's not busy factory.

You generally don't want to use the optical Bay for one SSD because the interface is slower than the main SATA bus and a player any connected as it will not be bootable, so you end up just with very expensive and paralyzed storage speed if you put an SSD in there. The best thing to do is to get out the mechanical hard drive spinner, put it in the optical Bay for storage and install an SSD. The m2 slot gave people fits, so I recommend you just work with SSD SATA 2.5 inch and not a m2.

  • Pavilion 550-122nd: install an ssd in Pavilion 550-122nd

    I am installing an ssd in my computer (Pavilion 550-122nd).

    The chassis of the computer is not as I used to know, where you could fix with the screws on the side (HD) material.

    The hard drive in the 550-12 Pavilion is set on the bottom of the hard drive.

    The 2.5 "to 3.5" support for the ssd in the computer doesn't have the screw holes on the bottom of the support.

    Are special types of media for this? Or, how to install an ssd in the 550-122nd Pavilion?

    Thank you.

    Meribel

    Personally, I wouldn't worry on the screws.

    With a hard drive, these are important because they stop the car while it is in use.  But in an SSD, you have no moving parts, so there is no reason to immobilize.

    I have a tower PC running on an SSD and which is simply placed on top of a tray of disk - and works very well for months!

    Good luck

  • Pavilion 500-281: where to install a SSD and the best way to get the operating system on it

    I have a Pavilion nine 500-281 with Win 7. I bouight a SSD 128 GB to load the operating system on it.  Where can I get inside the chassis? It seem not to be berries of classical records. It came with an adapter with the screw plate, but it's not obvious where I was able to ride the thing!

    In addition, can I just run a restore to get the OS on the SSD drive, once I have installed?  I received instructions with the SSD for ADATA software copy an image of the disk, but all I want is the operating system.  I'm dying to start using my new computer, but I think I want to get the reader installed first before you make any changes that he.

    Hello

    Review the #8 message in this thread.  Not all models of the 500 - 2xx Pavilion are provisioned for the SSD in the location as shown.  In the indicated installation, an adapter plate was not necessary.

    Most SSD manufacturers have free software migration.  I suggest that you image the entire HD, all partitions even hidden partitions.  Some of the more recent migration software will allow you to exclude your data records.

    My Pavilion dv6 3050ej laptop support SSD?

    If so, should I pay attention to something special when choosing my SSD drive model?

    Hello

    Yes. Samsung 850 Evo SSD is currently available in the market good.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-DV6-entertainment-notebook-PC-series/4150017/model/4212919/document/c02435719/

    You can either clone (using the Samsung migration tool or tools 3rd part), factory reset (with the support of HP recovery) or pure install (if you have the disc to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, and you can clearly and legibly read all 25 characters of the activation key of the product to the rear of your laptop).

    Move all your personal data on the external HARD disc before the cloning.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-7020us Entertainment PC SSD

    I would like to install an SSD in the second Bay of my Pavilion dv7-7020us Entertainment PC running Windows 7 and cannot determine which cable I need.  There are two kinds, I found on Amazon and the other says that it isn't for "dv7-7000" series and the other says only "for the dv7t series."  I searched all day for what is the difference and I still can't find the type of cable I need.  I don't think it should be this difficult.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hello:

    It would be the cart and the cable you need.

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=498

    Your model would be identical to a dv7t-7000 as it has a processor intel and chipset.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 500f D: SSD replacement for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f to original desktop PC hard drive

    Hi all!

    I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.

  • Pavilion DV6433cl: What I can Uprade HP Pavilion DV6433cl to 256 GB SSD drive

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6433cl laptop and I would like to replace my 160 GB drive existing with a 256 GB SSD to speed things up. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate and have bios f.2e installed.

    1 is it possible?

    2. If so, what are the specifications of the ssd I have to be on the lookout for and I need to install drivers or software to run easily and quickly?  Suggestions for specific ssd that work would be most appreciated.

    I think I read somewhere that I can replace/install the sticks of memory 2 X 2 GB (4 GB of memory in total) for the 2 X 1 GB sticks that are currently in the laptop because I have the system BIOS F2. E installed?  The next job? : Hynix full 4 GB RAM 2x2gb DDR2-800 PC2 - 6400S DDR2 200pin SODIMM memory

    Thanks in advance for your time and answers.

    Yes, you have true SATA hardware more early in order to be able to run an SSD. Your SATA is SATA-I 150 Mbps, but more recent readers SATA-III will downclock. Samsung Evo 840 years ago great records and we'll work for you.

    Your memory is officially maxxed to 2 GB, but 3 works for almost everyone. 4 will not. The memory is DDR2-667 DDR2-800 not.

    I strongly suggest upgrading to Windows 7. He manages the SSD better than Vista. With Windows 7, it is roughly homogeneous. Just install the SSD as a hard drive and make sure that the storage of BIOS has native SATA (ahci) value and not the legacy (IDE).

  • Install an SSD on a HP Pavillion DV7

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c54ea and I'd like install a SSD as my main drive and keep my current 1 TB of HARD drive for storage.

    I know from having to buy the extra cable and I can adapt it eaily but y at - it type of SSD, I would need to obtain or avoid? (personal preference not wise compatibility).

    Once its easy installation would be also the primary SSD and move the windows on it my drive?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It should be, and even if it is it will work on a SATA-II system. SSD SATA-III are newer and better and faster so they work better, even on a SATA-II system.

  • Install an SSD in my dv7t...

    I want to install an SSD to the sides of my HARD drive in my HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Ed (I have an enpty Bay right now). I am running into a problem with the necessary cable - SATA cable supplied with the disc SSD is much too thick to be fit and too big connectors. The currently installed drive cable is very thin with NS, right angle fittings.

    I've never done this before, so I'm having a lot of trouble to find the cable I need to install this disk that fits in the space allotted, especially because I'm not sure exactly what kind of cable I need. If anyone has done this before and can connect with or the cable, they used the name, it would be extremely useful. Thank you!!

    FYI to anyone who stumbles on this thread, here's where I found the connector by itself (IE without the whole installation kit)

  • Can I install an ssd and its system of MacBook Pro mid-2010 on a Mac Pro mid 2009

    Hello

    My MacBook Pro just died yesterday (logic board) and I want to install the SSD with the system on a Mac Pro.

    I just ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine.

    I wonder if I can boot directly from this SSD or if I do the previous setting in the system.

    Given that the Mac is able to run the latest version of Mac OS X, and you want to move the SSD for older Mac rather than new, it should work. I guess that saying you 'ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine' you mean connecting via USB rather than internally, which would be a great test.

    If it works, I would say running the combo for OS update comes on the SSD once it is installed in the older Mac.

  • Slow startup after installing the SSD because gray screen

    I just installed a Samsung Evo 500 GB SSD in my Macbook Pro 2010. I went to start and it starts very slowly due to a gray screen just sat there for about 30 seconds and then it shows the apple logo and it takes another 15 seconds to load. The gray screen did not appear before installing the SSD but the Apple logo did take longer to load with the HARD drive. I used SuperDuper to clone my my SSD HARD drive and installed the SSD and it starts normally. The only issue was the gray screen. I've heard that I need to go into system preferences and select Startup disk, then my boot drive, but there is no choice. Help, please.
