Can I replace the optical drive of the ENVY 15 t-k000 with a hard drive?

Hello!!

I just got the HP ENVY 15 t-k000 http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/G0T95AV?HP-ENVY-15t

Can I replace the optical drive with an SSD (for example, Seagate 600 240 G)? Thank you!

I saw there are several videos helping to remove the top cover and replace the optical drive. But it does not expressly say that the optical drive can be replaced by a hard drive.

Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

  • Can we replace the primary codec CTS 3000 with CTS 1000 codec

    Hi all

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Physically CTS 1000 codec and CTS 3000 Primay Codec is the same air, I would like to know what is the difference between the two codecs.

    Suppose if I replace the main codec CTS 3000 with codec CTS 1000 it'll work?

    The difference is only between the firmware... ??

    If I try to download the firmware CTS 3000 in CTS 1000 codec does?

    Also add codec CTS 1000 in CUCM as Codec CTS 3000?

    Kind regards

    Nikhil,

    Are the only thing you need to know about 2 codecs GEN 1 or GEN 2. On the GEN 1 all the microphones connect to the primary codec. On the Gen 2 microphones connect through the audion expansion area. You can see the difference on the codecs on the Gen 2, you can see 1 connection for the Center microphone and a connector square for the cable to the AEB.

    Other codecs are exactly the same. Endpoint gets its configuration file in Communications Manager. So once go you MAC address and restart the endpoint it will go the new configuration file. If you use a CTS Manager, you will need to go into the Application user in the CUCM and move the MAC address of available for controlled devices. You will then need to make a discovery of the room in the CTS - Man.

    The firware for both codecs are the same.

    I hope this helps out.

  • Can I replace the hard drive of my Satellite A100?

    I have a Satellite A100 - 033 PSAANE, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. The hard drive is 60 g. I save almost all of my data to an external hard drive, but nevertheless hard drive eventually won't have enough space for the growing number of programs that I have installed various temporary files, etc.. For example, I would like to install VirtualBox and run XP (Ido have a copy), and Linux and perhaps a few other systems operating within it, but that is likely to consume more of hard drive space I have available.

    Anyone know if it is possible to get out of my existing hard drive and replace it with another of higher capacity? Is this possible?

    I need to reinstall Vista on the new disc, from the emergency disk that came with the PC. I don't mind this, but will be Windows Vista "recognized" when I try to install the new hard disk?

    Sorry if these questions seem naïve, but I don't know how to put a new hard drive in a laptop computer, or even if it is possible. I bought the Toshiba in February 2007, which was just after Vista had been released. I had not given the choice of XP: Vista was the only Toshiba operating system provide at this time. I was assured that a 60G hard drive would be perfect for Vista, but I have to tell you that, in my opinion, that I was wrongly advised, and that Toshiba should never have released a 60G machine for use with Vista. Where my wish to have a hard drive with a larger capacity.

    Yes, you can install a larger capacity HARD drive. In my view, the A100 can take any size SATA 2.5 "HDD, so you should be able to successfully install a 250 GB or 320 GB.

    In terms of Windows, you can reinstall using the Toshiba Recovery disk came with the laptop.

    Directions for use:

    Remove the screws from the cover of the HARD drive based on the laptop to access the HARD disk.
    Pull the HARD drive out
    Transfer media cradle of HARD drive to the new HARD disk
    Slide in the new HARD drive and screw the cover of the HARD drive.
    Turn on the laptop and press F12 to access the start menu.
    Insert your recovery disk and choose CD icon to boot from it.
    Follow the prompts to install Windows.
    Connect your original HDD to the A100 using a USB adapter to restore your files/documents.

    PS. Don't forget to back up your important files regularly. HARD drives can fail at any time, since they have delicate moving parts, even when new.

  • Can I replace the memory and not lose what is on the old memory for a Mid 2007 Mack computer desktop Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz processor speed, 1 CPU, 4 MB of Cache L1, the 4 GB memory at 800 MHz bus speed.  Only 1 slot can play memory, the other is damaged

    Can I replace the memory and not to lose what's on the memory of the former?  I have a Mid 2007, 20 "desktop Mac, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz processor, 1 CPU, 4 MB L2 cache, 4 GB of memory, 800 MHz bus speed.  I have a backup device.  A RAM slot is damaged.

    You are confused of RAM and disk space available.

    RAM stores information temporarily while the Mac is enabled and the application is reached. RAM replacement has no effect on the long term of your information storage.

    The hard drive is where your information is stored in the long term. If you replace your hard drive, you need restore the information from a backup.

    FYI, for your iMac, the maximum RAM is only 6 GB.

  • Satellite C670d - 11 k - can I replace the CPU?

    Can I replace the CPU on my 11K satellite C670D help please

    Hello

    The chipset is AMD A50M, so you can ONLY use AMD processors that are supported by the chipset.
    But it is still open question whether the BIOS would support the new processor.

    Since updates are not official supported by any laptop manufacturer, you will not find this info anywhere...
    If these updates are at your own risk, and no one would be able to tell if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade the CPU.

  • How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

    Recantly, I bought an old w510. The portable freezer randomly and never recoveres. It has been repaired for this before and worked fine for a while. There is no problem, but the motherboard video

    What is your advice? Can I replace the motherboard? Is it a long way? Or is it better to find another laptop?

    According to my notes, 63y1545 is a T510 Board with integrated graphics (Intel). The other 2 boards are W510 boards. They are all the same size and shape, but W510 boards have 4 memory slots and use a different cooling fan. The W510 is a nice machine and worth it if you can get a good price on a Board and fan of fixing. Basic coverage is also different machines 'W', but I don't know if it's important or one you have now.
