5 years - super fast machine with a SSD hard drive!

My laptop: Dell Studio, 2.5 Ghz, 4 GB RAM double heart + SSD hard drive

WOW... my machine is super fast!
Start the system and be usable... about 10 or so seconds
Ooh... Wow!
This beats my Macbook Pro Core i7 8 GB of RAM 2012 (quadruple-heart I think)
Closure is a bit boring - take 20 or so seconds... :(
(OK, in the past, closure used to take a loooong time)
The Macbook Pro to win this contest
I was wondering: WHY?
What is the SSD? What is Windows 8 + SSD?
Why is it so quickly!
I would add that I have rebuild my machine EVERY 30 days (still have the latest patches and antivirus before using)
Thank you
Omar

  • Satellite A200-1TW - slow performance even with a SSD HARD drive

    I replaced the HARD drive of 160 GB for a Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB and even a Samsun 830 256 GB SSD, but my HARD drive performance is very slow.

    How can I increase the performance of my HARD drive?

    I have 4 GB of RAM and I am using Windows 7 Home.

    What do you mean exactly by the slow HARD drive performance.

    As far as I know the laptop supports a SATA I (1.5 Gbit/s / 150 MB/s) the HARD disk controller.
    Even if you would upgrade the laptop with a SSD drive that supports 3 Gbps, the controller could slow performance.

  • Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

    I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

    Read the following thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

    What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

    Thanks in adv!

    Hello

    I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
    Why?
    Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

    To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

    So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

  • Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

    Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

    I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

    I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

    I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

    Someone knows what's the problem?

    > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

    This does not work with all models of laptops.
    As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

    One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

    You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
    Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

    The comments appreciated.

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

  • External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

    Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

    Framework

    -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

    -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

    -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

    -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

    -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

    Problem

    -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

    -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

    -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Juan

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

  • 17i wanted to replace SSD HARD drive

    I just bought a new screen Envy 17 t tactile image with a 1 TB HARD drive 5400 RPM. At the same time, I bought a new Samsung 840EVO 500 GB SSD with the intention to replace the slower HARD disk with the fastest SSD. I thought it would be a simple switch (I replaced the older drive in my laptop with no problems). I thought it would be a few screws and a small sign removed from underneath the laptop and everything would be made.

    But after I got the new machine, I got everything install and running and left information for the SSD HARD drive, I have everything off and returned the machine and unfortunately... There are no signs (as described in the documentation) that I expected. She only siingle piece!

    How to HARD drive to replace it? Am I supposed to remove all the screws and remove the bottom or top (where the keyboard is) does jump off and you have access from above?

    Help!

    This model requires the removal of the top cover to the hard disk:

  • Pavilion G-6 2209au: Pavilion G - 6 2209au exchange for SSD HARD drive

    Hello I have this have upgraded with 6 GB ram and now want to replace the disc for one SSD HARD drive, I read in the forms some how you need to change the bios when you do so, what measures are necessary for the ssd to function? I don't like about backing up files, I'll use as an external HARD drive. Also I have the apu a4 4300 m and would like to get 10 4600 m cpu is this hard to replace or should I pay someone? Thanks for the support

    That's what you have:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03551667

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    From the outset I see that you only have 2 GB of RAM. Very easy and inexpensive to spend at least 4 GB. See page 46.

    The motherboard is the motherboard. There is no upgrade available. However, you have the CPU AMD A4 and you might fall into a 10 - 4600M. See page 83. It would be a major update and only would no treatment faster, but would provide a slightly better video chip since it is a "APU" with processor and video on the same chip.

    Finally, you can exchange the mechanical drive to a SSD drive. The upgrade of the speed would be very noticeable.

    That @banhien meant, however, the cost of this can equal or exceed a new laptop. and almost certainly will if you need to pay a technician to do it. The first update I is the RAM, then the SSD and then the last would be the CPU. If you need any help post more come back.

  • Can I replace the SSD HARD drive in my sve15123cv

    Hello

    I use sve15123cv, I want to replace the SSD HARD drive. Is this possible?

    Which SSD is good?

    Hi zunnun,.

    Thank you for visiting the Sony community!

    It is possible, but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any problem. You need to consider certain things such as the specification of the HARD drive, thickness or dimension of the SSD that you plan to install first. Your Vaio SVE15123CV is a non American model. Unfortunately, we do not have full details and specifications of your machine. However, you can coordinate with the Sony support based on your location or where you bought the device.

    For further assistance about your concern, please contact the representative offices of offices/Sony Sony nearest your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific.

    Yes from the internet recovery (option command R), you can access the disk utility to format the new hard drive.  Recovery of the Internet will offer the OS X that originally shipped with your Mac from 2012. You then spend here.

  • iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.

    The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.

    Here's what I have on order:

    I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.

    I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.

    Cheers in advance

    Ian

    Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat).  The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.

    The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac.  Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).

    Good luck

  • Acer Aspire V15 Nitro replace SSD HARD drive

    I bought this laptop in March 2015. This laptop comes with 1 TB of HDD.

    I wanted to replace the HDD SSD but I called the service center (Service of Highpoint), Acer technician told me that there is no way to replace with SSD because the port is different, any SSD can also compatible with this laptop HARD drive port.

    This make me very confuse because I search in google, replace with SSD is quite possible.

    (1) switch for one SSD 1 TB HARD drive

    (2) add an SSD on form factory M2 on its location (top-left, near the fan), so you can have installed SSD and HDD

    the second option, other users have done so, and sometimes they have had some problems during the recording of the SSD as first boot device (or window Boot Manager), since the BIOS tries to boot from SATA port.

    You can force it by pressing F12 at startup and select the appropriate boot device.
