• T420-best SSD for use in housing Ultrabay caddy?

  What is the best SSD for use in the Ultrabay caddy in a Thinkpad T420?

  Welcome to the forum!

  Any standard 2.5 "7mm or 9.5 mm SSD should work. I'd stick with brands such as Crucial, Samsung or Intel and are looking for the cost lowest to higher capacity. Considering that the T420 is now several years old, that I doubt that go with the SSD that has specifications "faster" will make a difference in practice.

  BTW the Ultrabay works at speeds of SATA-III (6 Gb/s), so it shouldn't be a bottleneck compared to the internal drive Bay.

• Best SSD for end 2011 MBP?

  As the title suggests, I'll be in the market to improve the speed of my MBP late 2011. I upgraded the RAM 16 GB, and it made a wonderful difference. I record music on my computer, and I'd appreciate a reliable car with good read/write speeds.

  I looked in the EVO of 850 Samsung 500 GB drive, read some reviews and it seems most often receive positive responses. Are there any problems with it I should know about, or is there a better car for about the same price?

  Also, I read that there are sometimes problems with the implementation of a new drive from a backup. Can someone refer me to a good guide that clearly lists the steps to set up a new drive from a backup? I've stuck with OSX 10.9.5 and want to keep the same configuration, just with a faster drive.

  Thanks in advance for your advice!

  I use Crucial in my MBP in early 2011.  OWC (macsales.com) sells compatible devices.

  Samsungs are actually show several questions in these forums... firmware update is needed to make them fully compatible mac apparently.  Or it could just be that Samsungs sell as much as even small-ccurrence-of-problems appear more often.  But I'd still go to OWC first if my Crucial current failed today (much too early, according to all the life expectancy estimates).  If I wanted just a new smile, I'd be probably Crucial or OWC.

  You can make the transition easier... Download CarbonCopyClone ($40, bombich.com) and an external box or connect the kit to copy your current internal to the new SSD.  Then do the surgery after the SSD will start to your satisfaction.

• Best camera for slow motion under $400?

  OK, first off I don't know too much about the cameras. I take lots of videos for editing with After Effects, and I also post videos on YouTube a lot. Right now, I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX9 1080 p 60i footage shot and 16MP. However, I am looking to upgrade to something that draws the best slow motion video. The two important things I want is clear 60 FPS + video and fast image speed. If possible, it should be less than $400. I've been to the GoPro HD3, but it is a bit high in my price range (in addition, it works well for taking pictures...).

  Does anyone have recommendations?

  Thank you!

  
  

  399 black GoPro Hero3 is an amazing camera for a point and shoot. Takes snapshots at high speed and takes very good stills and the time. If you want all around the camcorder that will slow down the MB and you can live with one correction lens wide angle, you can't beat the GoPro right now. I have one and it is totally amazing.

• Best disk internal SSD for end 2009 27 "?

  Hello!

  I am trying to decide the best new (1 TB or 2 TB) internal SSD for my October 2009 27 "iMac (3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo).

  I see OWC has a drive and a kit that are certainly compatible, but the Samsung EVO and PRO seem to get better feedback. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated!

• What is the best SSD 2016 compatible Mac for a Mid 2010 13 "MBP?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a compatible Mac (no worries) SSD for my Mid 2010 13 "2,4 Ghz MBP.

  I can't afford to upgrade to a new MBP. but a 240 GB, 250 GB, 256 GB SSD is desirable.

  I've read up, and it seems that the Samsungs are a chore for macs.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I got excellent results with SSD OCZ and OWC. I also used Samsung 840 and 850 (not professional) without any problem on several of my computers. OCZ and SSD from OWC are quite compatible.

• Best material for editing?

  I want to upgrade my computer to edit it. I have an iMac 2011: 2,5 GHz, memory 4 GB, AMD Radeon HD 6750 M 512 MB. I plan to buy another iMac. with a budget of $2500, what would you recommend for best performance for editing? I would emphasise quality video card, memory RAM, or disk (4 cores, 7 carrots, fusion, etc...)?

  Download video card with MOST of the vRAM.  That means generally that you will also get the quad core i7 with Turbo Boost technology (acts like one 8 cores when you need it - and presents itself as 8 cores with MenuMeters.) The 2013 iMac had a 'backdoor' easily add RAM, and if this is always the case - buy an extra set of 16G of Crucial or some other 3rd party and add it yourself - you will make savings (if I remember) about $200.  If I had to start everything, I would have also obtained the reader of the merger, but the internal (regular) hard drive in the iMac Gets a pretty decent read/write speed (about 130 MB/s) but not what you really want with video editing. The proposed internal SSD is fairly low, so, I generally recommend external SSD drives and their construction schedules. USB3 is fast. Love at first sight would be better, but it's still expensive. An SSD in USB3 is quite impressive (I get about 300-400 MB/s R/W for one and 370-435 on the other). You can get a USB3 box for $10-$40 (Amazon has a housing Kdlinks now, limited time, for only $9.95!) and you can find a 500 GB SSD for under $ 200 these days. I bought Crucial SSD (I have a little bit o 'too o' Scottish blood in me), but what I've read, the Samsung EVOs are among the fastest (~500MB/s).

  -VRAM so Max it is possible! (- what it takes to get this top of the line card... graphics you have it.) - and lotsa RAM (you can buy 8 with mac + 16 crucial for 24 which will give respectable service) - fast external drives are a nice addition.

• SSD for my Aspire V Nitro 15 VN7 - 571 G-72UZ

  I can add a SSD for my Aspire V Nitro 15 VN7 - 571 G-72UZ? It's super slow...

  Absolutely Yes.

  Update to the SSD HARD drive is a good way to improve your PC. My suggestion is to only install the OS on the SSD if the HARD drive still works. Then use the HARD drive as secondary storage. This would save space on the SSD so you won't need to buy SSDS with capacity. I don't know what your operating system, but normally a 120 GB SSD is sufficient for the OS. And you can install some favorite programs if there is a lot of space left after the installation of the operating system.

  Clean install and cloning two works, yet if you want to keep all the current personal settings, cloning is the best choice. You can learn more about transfer of HARD OS to SSD drive here. Note that after cloning or a clean installation, you will need to remove the old HDD or change the boot settings in the BIOS to check if the operating system starts. If everything is OK, reformat the partition to the OS on the HARD drive in Windows PE mode (you cannot format under Windows environment).

  Kind regards.

• What is the best OS for a late 2008?

  What is the best OS for a late 2008?

  El Capitan.  He will run the latest apps and have the latest safety features.

  Do not install the maximum RAM that your model will accept (best sources RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial).  If the bank account is fat, install an SSD (Crucial and OWC SSD are recommended).

  Ciao.

• Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

  Hello world

  This is my first post here!
  I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
  The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

  I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

  My questions:

  1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
  2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
  3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

  Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

  Kind regards
  Paulo

  > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

  I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
  You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

  > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

  It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
  Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:

  > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

  You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
  You can use an option included in Windows 7:
  Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
  Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
  Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
  When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

• Please recommend an SSD for Toshiba Satellite C660D-10W

  Hi people

  I'm looking for a recommendation for an SSD for my laptop, Satellite C660D-10W

  I want to perform a clean build - I have a new licensed copy of Windows 10 Pro.

  I bought a disc of Kingston after some research online, but subsequently discovered Kingston declaring that they do not support the use of this device in my laptop.

  Toshiba customer support put me on "Topaz", which recommended product + service (though not an SSD!) cost more than 250 pounds. For that price I can get a replacement of like-for-like of the laptop under warranty!

  I'm looking for a simple option where I can buy a SSD and do the installation myself. 250 GB to 500 GB for the region of £60ish.

  Thoughts?
  Chris

  I have a Crucial SSD in my C660 - 1 7. He turned my laptop. Boots in seconds!
  They have special offers for the moment like this http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/satelli...-10w/CT6696741 250 GB @£ 63,59

  Hey fans of Mini Toshy,.

  There is no solid FULL only post on the net about how far you can push actully this material from end to end.
  In this post and other assignments YOU... I have a thread of a single window for geeks on this unit.

  The 32 bit Windows 7 OS [family, professional, ultimate] is the best support for chipset AMD grafix and various other drivers of ure choice, this is the best information that I have gathered... Please correct me if Im wrong?
  Also if changes 64bits como thrus thanks for posting in this thread :D
  What we geeks need to know is so information for the SATA controller on the card for the Toshiba NB550D/02F PLL5FA 02F02C, other newer models

  I have some fragmentary information, it could be SATA3 that will support an upgrade of a controller 6GBs SSD and some saying it is done SATA2 part of support 3GBs Committee but the S3 connection will still work saturate the speed of connection of the S2.
  This allows to get ALL the best mod for this sorting device information here and now!

  Post more... and thx 8 >)

  Yes, I noticed that some users here in the forum have had problems using the modules of RAM from Crucial, but Kingston modules seem to run ok.

  But you can extend the RAM to 2 GB only when a location is available as shown here:

• Best OS for mid 2009 MBP

  Hello

  I have 13 "environment 2009 running 10.6.8 MBP. I don't had not updated the operating system far as I feared that the performance will go down because it has 2 GB of RAM.

  However, it has now reached a level where its just become painful to use the system, so I'm planning the next upgrade:

  1 out to 8 GB of RAM max

  2 swap on optical drive for 250 GB SSD for the OS and keep the old 160 GB hard drive.

  I'm not sure that exceeds with upgrade what operating system will be better suited for my MBP? I had intended to put the Mavericks as I heard both Yosemite and El Captain will not work it smooth on an older version of the macbook pro. I would be really grateful if anyone can advice that will be the best OS? I mostly use my laptop computer for word processing and e-mail and yes the light room 4.

  Also, should I swap the optical drive for the new SSD or the old HDD? (My optical drive does not in all cases). I earlier had intended to get 500GB SSD but then decided to go for 250 and save money as I have 1 TB external hard drive I use since I'm working on several machines, most of the time.

  Other advice or point I should keep in mind during the upgrade?

  Thank you very much

• Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

  Hello

  I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

  The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

  I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

  If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

  OR

  Is - this material is defective?

  Thank you in advance!

  Did this and it showed "No. Bootable Device Insert boot disk and press any key"

  I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

  Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.
