Change the hard disk of 1.4 Ghz Mac Mini end of 2014

Good morning Apple community, so here's the problem: I had a voltage breakdown because via the USB port of an EPSON LX - 300 printer, at present when the USB and the Mac Mini contact, ventilation Mac shutoff valve and after a few tries to do turn it finally do. But I see that a gray folder appears with an exclamation mark, then, with my other mac I download OS X El Capitan and do a Booteable USB, after that I enter the utilities disk and found that the "Macintosh HD" was not there and 2 USB 3.0 also didn't work. I picked up at a technical Service allow in my city and have told me that the HARD drive is broken and must be replaced, they say it could be replace by an of a 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive RPM HARD drive, also says that couldn't put an SSD. I start research and found it is possible to put an SSD without problem. So my question is that's for sure, so I trust that an SSD will work with flawessly, and that I will also get a big performance improvement.

My Mac is:

Mac Mini end of 2014 1.4 Ghz 4 GB of RAM, Intel HD 5000 and a 500 GB drive HARD 5400 RPM death.

So, my best regards to the community and hope for a response.

I've been running my 2014 MM off an external SSD with USB 3.0 since the beginning of this year, after a bunch of trial and error; That's what I have:

Unfortunately, I don't have much advice to give you else make sure you have a proper forum for IT. From my experience, the bad speaker will make the difference in whether or not the Mac recognizes the SSD on initialize toward the top.

Good luck!

    You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.

    Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

    The operating system which is part of the Toshiba recovery image has already been activated so the new activation should not be possible and necessary!

  • Change the HARD disk in VMWare ESXi 3 Server

    Hi all

    I'm new in the Comunnity. I have the following problem:

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 III with six 7.2 K rpm HDs in RAID 5 running VMWare ESX 3i in an internal USB unit. In this server, I have a virtual machine running a mail server. I have problems of performance of disks in servers and we will change the discs on 15 K RPM drive and change the RAID 10 RAID level. I activated the SSH in VMWare ESXi and my question is: is it possible to copy the virtual machine using Winscp or other method forders, rebuilt my RAID, and then copy these files to VMWare again?

    I'would want to know your suggestions on this matter.

    Thank you very much and best regards,

    You may need to use "add to inventory" since the UUID will be different on the store of data on disks. If we then open the data store with and navigate to the virtual machine. Right click and Add. You answer that you move them.

  • RND4000 - change the hard disks, will that erases data on older players

    I took out the old records and set it asside.

    Then put in some different readers. Different drives are from a NAS RNDX4000 and they initialize automatically.

    I wasn't expecting that.

    Now, if I take on different disks and put the old disks in will I lose all the data?

    I need to still get the data on the old disks. They worked very well.

    I don't want them to be initalized.

    The reason is that the RNDX4000 was struck by lightning. Really wanted to get information out of thoes readers. Now, I don't want to lose the information I had in RND4000 work.

    OS 4.x ReadyNAS all begin with the formatting of disks when they are hot-inserted and in many cases even when they are not hot-inserted.

    But if you turn off, insert the old disks in their original locations, and then powered on, then the system should simply repeat the operation without loss of data or reformatting.

  • 200% + CPU Dual Core i7 3.0 GHz 16 GB Mac Mini end of 2014

    Hello

    I just bought Lightroom & Photoshop CC to complete my new Mac Mini. I thought that the specification above would be more than enough for Lightroom flowing normally - given my dual core 2012 MBP 2.5 GHz 16 GB ran Lightroom CC without any problem. However, I'm having a time torrid so far. Everything is extremely slow. Even when simply activate the lines of the grid, I'll have to wait 3-4 seconds for a response. Brushing is a nightmare as well.

    I tried to disable the GPU option, but it has improved things slightly. Perform light tasks is still up 200% of my CPU.

    Anyone know what I can do about it?

    During brushing, you have turned on automatic mask?  Automatic mask is very convenient when you brush next to an edge, but it won't slow the brushing process considerably.  Turn each time that it is not necessary for editing you do.

  • How you upgrade the RAM on Mac mini (end of 2014)

    The Support page says it is not accessible, but everything is assembled (without guarantee) just to write this post in Safari with open iTunes I am hitting 3.3 4.0 GB.

    I've always liked Apple since the first iPod came out, but I didn't know that their computers were also disposable.

    I guess I should know better when the price is only a little higher then the Apple TV, I went to buy, but it's the first Apple computer, I buy, and it's better than my Apple TV ver1 who died.

    So when I cut it open I find accommodation from the PIN and what chip will take the 1.4 GHz, 4 to 8 GB machine.

    I guess there is only one slot (pinout) and it is probably welded in.

    No, they were serious

    the RAM is welded in there. You can not remove it.

  • Can I change the HARD drive integrated on my Satellite L50-B-281?

    Hello

    is it possible to change the HARD disk integrated in an SSD? Must be a SATA3 SSD?
    Or it is also possible to install an additional HARD/SSD drive? For example the HARD drive now integrated as a data harvester and a SSD as a system drive?
    Or the DVD player can be exchanged for one SSD?

    Greetings!

    HARD drive can be transformed into SSD and it is the best option, but according to user manuals (to the attached picture) your laptop is not separate from the cover of HARD drive in the lower corner so upgrade disk HARD only is not supported for laptop owners and should be done by authorized personnel only.

    To have full access to the disk HARD lower cover must be removed completely, and if you do it on your own it will void the warranty.
    In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. This can be done quite quickly and I don't think that it would be expensive.

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Impossible to 'System' to defrag Portion of the hard disk on Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro dvt7-3000

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion dvt7-3000 CTO that has a single disk drive hard 500 GB.  The operating system has been improved in Windows7 Pro (64-bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), but the problem occurs in both operating systems.  When conducting the defragmentation of the different hard disks (C:\ D:\, HP tools and system), the percent of the "System" drive which is fragmented never changes, while the % fragmented adequately for other readers going to 0%.  Over time, the system part of the hard disk rose to 27% fragmented.  How to defragment this drive?

    Hello

    The system partition contains the boot files and recovery for Windows 7 environment and should not be défragmentée.  It will always appear to be fragmented and it is quite normal - force this partition defragment would almost certainly avoid the Windows startup.  In addition, the fragmentation in this small partition has absolutely no effect on performance.

    For much the same reasons, the recovery partitions or HP_TOOLS must be défragmentées.

    Kind regards
