  and that could be the best unit ssd ( Crucial 256 GB 2.5 m4 or OCZ Technology 256 GB Vertex 4 Series 2.5 inches)

  Thank you

  Hello

  Your laptop supports only the connection SATA II is a bit useless to buy any SATA III SSD that they will operate as SATA II disks. The service manual indicates that DM4 laptop support SSD 160GB drives, so all SSD should work as I do not think that the ability is a limit. OCZ, Intel, Corsair and a few others have good readers then choose one of the series SATA II of these manufacturers. I've seen some cases that a SATA III SSD did not work but a SATA II we did on older laptops. Maybe the newer controllers SATA and the old BIOS may cause some compatibility issues...

• Two PC with a single hard drive... Not at the same time

  I'm a snowbird. 6 months in Michigan, 6 months in Arizona. All moves by automobile.

  I was moving a Dell Vostro 410 unique to each movement... not funny.

  I bought a second 410 with the travel plan only the hard drive. I'll do a clean install of Win7 Home Premium 64, as well as all software, etc. on the Michigan machine.

  What should I do to improve the chances of this hard drive works on both machines?

  Hello

  As the problem is related to the installation of the hard disk, it would be better if get you in touch with decision-making supported by the manufacturer. Support Dell will be able to you guide on the removal of the hard drive but also install on the other computer.

• Conversion of SSD drive for the reader to boot on m7 with Win8

  I just bought a new m7-j020dx (product code E4S19UA #ABA) with Windows 8 from Best Buy.  Unfortunately, it came with a standard hard disc (HDD), and I would like to install a Solid State Drive (SSD).  I have an Intel 320 and 530 series-reader.  But I was not able to get a bootable from that disc.

  The first thing I tried was cloning the drive to plant on a new disk of 530 series using AOMEI Backupper.  I got an error writing on the partition of the third.  I thought that maybe the drive was bad, so I tried again with an Intel 320 series SSD drive.  Same mistake.

  The next attempt was to clone the disk to another disk of 1 TB (connected via USB), reduce the main partition with MiniTool and clone of the 320 series SSD.  The cloning went well.  However, with the new installed SSD, the computer will not start, and I get "Error0x0000225", something about a file not found.  Disable "secure starting" in the BIOS setup has not helped (I did after the clone).

  So I thought I would do a clean install of win 8.  I generated a recovery on a 32 GB USB SanDisk player disc using Win8 recovery disk generator (as indicated on the site of HP).  I then ran the program of recovery out of the USB drive and after a few hours of software installation driver and several reboots, I get a message from HP, indicating that the installation was not complete.  Reinstall did not help.

  I don't know what the problem is.

  What the recovery disk USB one made from the original bad HARD drive (we get only a single shot at it)?  Do I need media of the order of HP on disks?  Are there problems with the use of SSDS on those computers?  Should I not a BIOS settig correctly (UEFI)?  Is there some Intel storage drivers clutter it?

  I think my next step will be to create a disc Image and place it on the SSD drive.  But I doubt that this solves the problem with the start to it.

  Another option might be to build fresh using Win8 media, then download and install each driver from the HP website.

  Any ideas out there in the land of the experts?

  Thank you, erico, for advice.

  I tried this with 320 (160 GB) series and SSD 530 series (120 GB and 240 GB).  Actually, I have not tried on the 240GB again, just two other. . The 240 GB SSD is the best candidate. During cloning, using a larger SSD is the best for worms down the road when other programs are installed.

  So far, I've done everything suggested this that caramel:

  -Updated the BIOS for later: F.43. 03/01/2014 (HP support site).

  -Installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology v. 12.9.0.1001 (taken from the Intel site).

  -Updated the firmware of the 530 series 120 GB using Intel SSD Toolbox v2.0.10 of 06/20/2013 (from Intel).

  -The series 160 GB 320 firmware was up to date.

  -Installed the Data Migration Software Intel v. 2.0, dated 29/04/2013 (taken from the Intel site).

  -Updated environmental Support UEFI v5.3.3.0 dated 26/09/2013 (on the HP support site)

  -Enabled secure boot.

  Even using Data Migration tool Intel did not work.  Before Support UEFI environment, data migration tool would go to the step to reset but does not start what whether manually or to another.  Support UEFI environment, the software says simply "Operation failed." Following the manual data migration softwarecan be a bit tricky. There are a few things about the bootind of the Acronis loader * which must be carefully designed for the operation to succeed.  Intel also has a forum which can help as well.

  
  

  When I hit F10 and in the Configuration of the system, the Intel RST is not available.  So I suspect there is something not right here. The suggestion of updating the BIOS of caramel didn't across before it was made. It was not necessary and therefore not a good plan. I suggest that you use the Diagnostics UEFI and rollback to the previous BIOS. If you need advice with those just let me know. I have a few images that should show you what you should see. 

  A number of things, I noticed I did upgrades:

  -The site of HP support for my computer has Intel Rapid Storage Technology 12.0.7.1002 v, dated 30/06/2013 is earlier than on the Intel site.  Maybe I should roll back. That must be rolled back to the version shipped by HP. I see you introduced makes as stated in a previous post.

  -The HP support site has two distinct "RST", storage technology products a quick and a quick start technology.

  Intel has "RST" next to their rapid storage technology, so I might be confused.  I have installed the driver of the technology of quick start on the HP support site so if it is not already on the computer, perhaps it is not running and is the "RST" which is the missing piece.  In fact, same caramel said I need fast boot technology driver and then linked to download Rapid Storage Technology driver. Do not pay attention to what it says caramel.

  Here are two of the same?  Support site of HP with two drivers and version numbers, I suspect not.   Any ideas would be useful.  They are indeed different.

  The Intel Rapid Storage Technology softpaq sp61600.exe driver provides NCQ (native command qeueing) features for the SATA controller.

  The Intel Rapid storage Technology driver softpaq sp61325.exe is supposed to improve the SSD or mSATA consumption of hibernation and also imrove the resume from hibernation.

  You can't even consider installing either softpaq to clone the drive. It is always better to keep things simple.

  The SATA cable USB you use has two connectors usb at one end?  It is necessary to provide enough power for the SSD for data migration is not. Connect each usb connector to a different usb port.

  EASEUS is, in my opinion, the best of the three.

• 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.

• Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

  Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

  If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

  Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

  Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

• Updated by Satellite L755 with a Solid State Drive (SSD)

  Someone has upgraded to an SSD.
  Can you keep your operating system and data.

  It is preferable to copy an Image of the disc in the DVD or USB drive.
  What are the problems?

  Hello

  It shouldn't be a big problem to upgrade the laptop with an SSD.
  The device supports a common SATA interface and controller, so usual 2.5 SATA SSD drive should work fine.

  Before that you need to replace the HARD drive, I recommend the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk or (and) a USB stick recovery support.
  It s advisable to create both in case your USB memory key would be a mistake (or disk)

• my hybrid HDD/SSD drive does not work with my new Y50

  my hybrid HDD/SSD drive does not work with my new Y50

  Help!

  Hi YouMaCry,

  You have any records? or a USB recovery?

  If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

  To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!

• 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.

• 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.

• have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

  Dear Forum,

  I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

  My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

  I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

• Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

  Hi all

  I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

  Thank you...

  Dimm21

  Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

  I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

  Thanks for your response

  Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

  The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

  Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

  If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.
