  The installation should be simple enough. Some people use even tape double-sided to ensure their SSDS.  The only thing that may be in question is whether your PSU OEM has one additional SATA power connector available. You will see that by opening your case.

  Establishment of an SSD is easy. I usually do it manually with the Diskpart utility to an elevated permissions command prompt. You can choose to do this through the Disk Manager because it is easier for most people.

  OCZTechnology forum has a section called SSD ABC of that coversall the basics to know about SSDS. There are also tutorials installation here that are very complete and written concisely.

• Qosmio G30 - SSD drives are not recognized

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-140 with two hard drives.
  One with Windows 7 and the other with XP.
  The system allows to start the 1st or the 2nd.

  To speed up the system got two Samsung 830 Series SSD drives
  model: MZ - 7PC256.
  The BIOS (BIOS ACPI version = 3.90), do not have the option and I have AHCI, I adopted

  In this option, the discs to work independently.
  They work well, but the "Samsung SSD magician" application, does not recognize

• Replace merge with ssd drive, cannot be done?

  My hard drive of my iMac 27 ", end 2012, is running out. It has a fusion of 1 TB drive.

  I asked the service guy how much it would cost to replace the 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD drive.

  He said that one cannot do. He claims that the only thing that can be installed is a 'disk original Apple', given that she is a fusion player, he has several sensors that a regular disk or an ssd, does not.

  Is this true? I thought drive merger was only a software technology "pair" a small disc with an older hard drive ssd.

  Of course, it is possible, but understand that the HARD drive in the computer has a special sensor used for the detection of the temperature and the fan control. In addition, what you ask is probably not an Apple authorized the change. A Fusion drive uses the features of Mac OS X CoreStorage to create the Fusion drive and manage. However, in itself a Fusion drive does not require any special equipment unless one you have used flash PCI-e instead of a real SSD memory.

  If your computer is no longer under warranty and complete loss of any future Apple support doesn't bother you, then you can make the change yourself.

• In Predator 710-G3 SSD drive

  Can Helle when and where I find the disc SSD 237 GB preinstalled in my G3-710 Predator. Newly installed another 237 GB SSD drive and could not find it. Where is the devil. Of course, the additional SSD drive would not be good without accurate right holders in the quick slot so I installed in the box instead.

• Parameters to win 8 and SSD drive

  Just bought a h9 - 1440t with windows 8 pro and an SSD.

  Can you tell me:

  1 - is the motherboard SATA 2 or SATA 3?

  2. are there additional parameters I should do to ensure the best performance of the SSD drive?

  I was led to believe that I had to disable indexing and to put all temporary files on the secondary drive which I use for data.

  Thank you

  eddiel66

  Hey eddiel,.

  The majority of our units produced since Feb 12 will use SATA3

  And Yes, to disable indexing and assigning temporary files (and other files from storage) to your secondary drive would be wise.

  Hacker life also has a great article on SSD found HERE.

  Feel free to respond if you need any additional information

• Change the disc to boot from a HARD for one SSD drive

  Hello world.
  I am writing this post because I just bought a Crucial 64 GB SSD v4 and I have Windows 7 64 bit home edition (original) installed on the HARD drive. I need to know how to perform a clean installation on the SSD and how stand the PC of the it. Thanks to all in advance.

  Hello

  The first question for you is if you have a Windows DVD system disk or a partition of your drive hard that you installed Windows from? The second question is if you have a laptop or desktop computer, and if the SSD is already installed on your computer and formatted? And the third question is to know if you have a product key for Windows Home Premium OS to install on SSD?

  Assuming that the SSD is already installed and you have a product key for the version of Windows you want, the simplest method is to use a Windows DVD or create a DVD of Windows System. If you do not have a Windows DVD, you can download the ISO file for the version of Windows Home Premium 64-bit (Service Pack 1) from here: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso .

  In addition, if you need an application to burn the ISO on DVD, you can use the Windows application which is built into Windows. Simply right click on the ISO file image and click on burn to... Once you have the system disk, you can use to do a clean install of Windows on your new SSD.

  The other option is the use of an application of part 3 to transfer your current Windows your HHD's existing operating system to your new SSD. Such a request is EaseUS Partition Master, downloadable here: http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Master-Free-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html?tag=mncol;1 .

  In both methods, you will need the SSD drive installed in your system in order to load it with the operating system. And as I say, the simplest method is to do or have a DVD of Windows System.

  If you would answer the questions I ask myself, I can scroll the process in more detail, although enforcement EaseUS is quite explicit and includes several wizards to guide you through the process.

  Let me know what other assistance I can provide.

  Kind regards

• This virtual machine may have been moved or copied during the priming two different Macs from the external SSD drive

  I am using this SSD external boot drive to start two different iMacs at work and home, making all my stuff to update this SSD.

  However, when I open the virtual machine in Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on VMware Fusion on OS X 10.8.3 5.0.3 (Cougar) installed on startup such external SSD disk, VMware asks what follows by trying to open the virtual machine on the FIRST Mac:

  Q.) VMware tells me: "this virtual machine may have been moved or copied. What should I do?

  VulnHub - Frequently asked Questions

  Choose "I moved it", or "I copied it"?

  Is it possible to PREVENT VMware Fusion ASKING such question with each single switch to Mac (as said, I always start the two Macs at work and home from the same SSD drive)?

  Thank you.

  The order of placement of the options in the .vmx configuration file are not relevant as long as each is on its own line.

  On the other hand, I hope than boot from SSD external drive to start two different Macs (one at work and one at home) will not break she like says dlhotka.

  The main issue will be the differences between the CPU and according to what difference, say a Core 2 Duo vs Quad Core this by itself may be sufficient to trigger WPA on a Windows Virtual Machine.   Like many a Client in Mac OS X or OS X Client that shouldn't be a problem however with Mac OS X Server or OS X Server so that I moved it with a Core 2 Duo vs Quad Core, I have not had problems yet but the haven of the exhaustive tests with the server version.  I think it will go well, however, we should always do... maintain appropriate backups!

• Best external SSD drive?

  Looking for a new external SSD drive. What are some of the best out there for the money?  Really need 1 TB or more.

  Thank you!

  The fastest and most effective will be a PCIe SSD installed in an enclosed.  Understand that serves as an external SSD, speed may be limited by the connection in use and you can not achieve the performance that the SSD is capable of.  The fastest connection to date is Thunderbolt2, which may or may not be fast enough (I just don't know).

• Run Windows 10 from an external SSD drive? Yes, it works!

  That's what I did to make it work. The whole process takes about 45 minutes, but I think that it really is worth it if you want to run quick and clean Windows 10 on your iMac.

  What you need:

  • An SSD external - data is deleted
  • An iMac 27 "(end of 2013 in my case)

  Temporarily, for the installation, you will also need:

  • A computer with Windows 7, 8 or 10 to copy the correct files on the SSD drive and make it bootable
  • A computer running with OS X download BootCamp
  • A USB - data is erased

  First, in Windows, you get a file ISO for Windows 10. You can use the media to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 authoring tool and choose to save it as ISO file (do not create a USB bootable media).

  1. Double-click on the. ISO file. This will mount the disk to install on a disk (in my case, the letter E).
  2. Connect the SSD drive to a free USB port
  3. Open an administrator command prompt and type:
     1. DiskPart
     2. list disk (to identify your external SSD drive number)
     3. select disk 2 (or another number to your external SSD drive, make sure you do not erase your internal drive, usually on 0).
     4. clean - be careful, if you have selected the wrong disc, erase all the data on it
     5. create part pri
     6. Quick format
     7. assign letter = O (or another letter if already used)
     8. assets
     9. output
     10. DISM/apply-image /imagefile:"E:\sources\install.esd" / index: 1 /ApplyDir:Y:------(change E to another letter for the ISO file mounted)
     11. BCDBOOT. EXE Y:\WINDOWS/s Y:/f BIOS (so that the boot in the BIOS only drive (not EFI))
     12. output
     13. Eject all disks properly or simply shut down your PC.

  Then on your Mac, open the wizard BootCamp (click on Launchpad and type "bootcamp" to find) and check ONLY "download the latest software of Apple's Windows support. Save it on your USB thumb drive. Stop your iMac. Remove the USB key and keep it in your hand.

  Turn on your iMac by pressing the option (alt) key. You will see an orange icon with Windows. Select this option and wait until you see 'Getting ready devices', wait a little longer until you hear the startup chime and press the option (alt) key to make sure that start you on the external hard drive. That's all!

  Now you have a copy of Windows from your external USB drive. You just need to install the BootCamp drivers on your USB (\Bootcamp\Setup.exe). Reset.

  Oh, you have 10 Windows running natively on your beautiful iMac.

  Enjoy!

  The answer is in the response. I don't know how to post a tip!

• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• How to move iTunes to support SSD drive on secondary disk files

  Hello

  I think the title pretty much everything said. My SSD drive app fills and although I have three drives in my desktop Mac PRO somehow the artwork & mobile apps are like 20 gigs. The music files are in a secondary drive. What is the best way to move all the files to support the HUGE secondary disk so I don't understand all of a sudden the dreaded exclamation point?

  Thank you

  Enio

  10.11.4 running

  In essence, you must keep the support files in the folder as the iTunes music files, then let iTunes knows where they are located.

  It is better than the iTunes folder everything will be moved to the external drive, not just the music and media files. The link below is instructions on how to do it properly. You "partially" here, but you should still be able to follow them, to make the move.
