• 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

• 1 TB SSD/Flash internal, more room inside?

  Howdy Yall,

  I just bought an iMac 27 "and went with a 1 TB hard drive"Flash"or SSD internal.  I realize that a hard 'Flash' is not really a 'hard' at least not in the traditional sense.  But...

  My question is... is there room inside the iMac 27 inches to install another drive "Flash"?  Or should I go with an external SSD if I want more space?

  If I need to go with an external, what is the best factor of form or style?  I know that it would be preferable to be style crush and not USB 3...  Can anyone recommend some current SSD that would be a good complement to the 1 TB internal SSD/Flash I already have?

  Thank you

  Do you mean that you went with a hybrid HDD/SSD or disc Fusion? The first is a HARD drive with a small amount of flash memory used for cached data. Although a bit faster than a HARD drive, it is much slower than a full SSD. The new iMacs don't use standard 2.5-inch SSD. They use variable size PCIe flash drives. This flash memory is combined with the internal HARD disk to make the Fusion drive. There's no room inside to add an another SSD.

  You can have added storage by connecting an external drive of any factor of size and shape of give. For maximum speed, use an external SSD connected using Thunderbolt. For a little more slow speed using USB 3.0. The latter is less expensive.

  The best naked SSD is OCZ, OWC, and Samsung.

• Upgrade SSD for Macbook Pro?

  I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011) and I would like my mac by installing a SSD 15'. He got a 2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. My laptop started to slow down a lot and it lags when I use photoshop or when I'm editing videos, so I thought I should spend my hard drive for an SSD. But I don't really know what SSD to buy it. My friend recommended the Kingston SSD UV400, but I read that some people have complications after installing the SSD on their Macs. I really don't know much about these things, I'm looking for insight. Someone at - it recommendations for SSDS, I should get? I'm looking at a minimum of 480 GB for storage and, ideally, something lasting!

  Thank you very much!

  Currently, the best options are the OCZ ARC-100 series, the 850 series of Samsung (good price on Amazon) and 6G OWCseries. OWC also has tool boxes if you need it and installation tutorials. If you want to keep the HARD drive then you buy one of their media DataDoubler to put the old HDD in the space occupied by the optical drive. It can even include an enclosure for the optical drive.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it. [Permission to use any part of the foregoing has been granted by khati, exclusively, to theratter.]

• HP Envy 15 t-j000 with ssd upgrade

  Hi all, I'm from outside the United States and I will be the week next to the United States and I want to buy an SSD for my HP Envy 15 t-j000, is to have 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB 5400 RPM hybrid disc, what do you recommend? I don't know if I can use any mSATA SSD, or can only install the SSD 24 - GB PN: 720564-001.

  Your help is very appreciated.

  Kind regards

  acmesoft

  You may not use any mSATA SSD. The purpose of the mSATA SSD is as a cache drive configured with the software Intel IRST. It will not replace the primary hard drive.

  What you need is a SATA SSD to replace your hard drive (legacy) of spinner with. Here is a great article on the How to geek about why you should switch to an SSD.

  The article contains information on the best ways to accomplish the task, including links to software for cloning. I highly recommend buying an SSD as a migration kit. The kits include a usb to SATA cable and software for cloning. Who will do the simple upgrade.

  Here is the guide to maintenance and Service for your laptop. The hard drive is a customer service unit. There on page 47 for instructions that explain how to remove and replace the hard drive.

• questions about the new SSD T530 upgrade

  I just bought a T530 that comes with a 500 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive. I bought a 256 GB Samsung SSD 830 and was trying to install this. The questions I have are:

  1. is it recommended I the SSD drive in the ultrabay housing and keep the HARD disk where it is? Or place the HARD drive in the ultrabay slot and have the SSD to the standard housing?

  2. is there a certain adapter that should be used on the installation of SSD or HARD drive in the ultrabay slot?

  3 are there settings that need to be changed when using an SSD?

  Thanks in advance.

  1. no difference whatever he is, although if you count hotswap in an optical device, it would be easier to have your primary OS drive.

  2. any generic SATA-UltraBay adapter should work. Make sure you have the size and the generation correct however.

  3. There are a few adjustments on swap files, defragment, etc. You should be able to find this information on the internet.

  For w10pro c: / recommend reinstall to ssd or migrate ssd or even is...?

  SSDS all have sons the same size and holes threaded on the bottom and sides.  They all use the same fine metric threads live short (short, so they don't lower).  These screws must come with the adapter, and I live in general using the lateral holes.  Parts of the adapter have threaded, 3 holes and you will use the back ahead and away from those for channels of the drive Bay.  If you look at each side of a standard 3.5 "HDD, you will see the same same spacing holes.

  Some jobs need the SSD to shift to the left so the orientation of the SSD SATA power and data ports match exactly where they would be if the current drive was a 3.5 "HARD drive clutter.  An example is the drive in a Z620 of drawers which accept 3.5 form factor devices "and slides of drawers in the deep part of the case and automatically mesh with ports of power/data SATA back inside.

  Jobs that fuel just a loose cable and the data cable for the SSD is really doesn't matter much if the SSD is an adapter which keeps it more centered or offset to the left.  I've seen cases where a disk HARD 3.5 "given in the lower Bay and a centered SSD is in the upper drive Bay and there was nearly not enough cable length to reach easily shifted left for drives staggered in the Center.  You can see in the photo below that the Garland of feeding on the HARD drive has two unused SATA power below connectors, and there is not a lot of room between them.

  The card you chose seems good... solid metal.  For the HP 8200 Elite CMT I have access to screws 4 total special 6-32 UNC silver HP threaded screw threaded back ahead and away from the screw holes on both sides of the adapter, and then you use the extraordinary end threads metric short screws mentioned above to fix the SSD to the adapter, as shown in the pictures of Amazon.  These HP silver screw 6-32 no metric I'm talking using Torx or flat screwdriver and their leaders are trained to slip into the channels of the drive Bay.

  There are also other designs which are designed specifically for some HP workstations that include mounts insulation rubber with the sliding mechanism.  I don't think you have that... Here is a picture of eBay one of the 8200 Desktop Elite CMT demonstrating the existence of space on the left for 8 of these silver screw to store, which 4 are missing and used on 3.5 "single drive, you see there.  Don't throw those... they are not something, you can go to Ace hardware and buy.

  Hello

  This notebook is without a doubt SATA III. The size is more or less in your pocket. I prefer Corsair or readers Intel but Samsung and Kingston were also a few good products. I generally recommend buying any SSD with SandForce SATA controllers that readers have faster speed writing and in my opinion even better reliability.

• HP Envy 6 - 1010ea HDD and SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I am looking to remove the existing HARD drive and msata SSD with the largest capacity as a 120 / 240 GB msata SSD and 1 TB + HDD for primary storage.

  I know that come from 2.5 "HDD in a number of variations, especially when it comes to the height of the car you can get 12.5 mm, 7mm, 9.5 mm and 15 mm and adapted plant Hitachi TravelStar Z5K500 is 7x70x100mm (WxHxD), so I was wondering what the larger physical size HARD drive I can hold inside is.

  Also are the dimensions on standard msata drives? and are there recommendations for msata SSD and 2.5 "HARD disk.

  Thanks in advance.

  No, you are limited for the ultrathin drives of 7mm.

• Alienware 17 R2 SSD upgrade

  Hey all,.

  So I understand that my willing R2 of 4 bays m2 and a single 2.5 I can use to upgrade with. I was wondering if I could use PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 PCIe interface SSD to fill 4 m2 berries I have available. For example, I was interested in getting this (Toshiba OCZ RD400 m2 512GB 3.0 PCI-Express x 4 MLC) but I'm stumbled upon a thread who says computers laptops Alienware 17 may only use SATA interfaces... If this is true, could work with any SATA SSD interface, as I can use the SATA 3?

  If not, are there any other recommendations to decent SSD I could get that would fit in my laptop? Thank you in advance!

  SATA interface means that it has limited to SATA 3 speeds. This means that a 2.0 and 3.0 will have the same limit based on the port speed. In addition, 4 slots, only 2 can be used.

• XPS 8500 upgrade to SSD

  looking to upgrade to SSD

  found v4 Crucial ssd of 32 GB with support for install

  you wonder if this will be fine as primary drive and keep the 1 TB drive already installed as storage device

  price looks ok

  any advice or assistance would be appreciated

  Do not forget that this system can work at 6 GB/s and the v4 can only run at 3 GB/s so an m4 would be better.

  This system has an mSATA port which is probably unoccupied. Also, I think that 32 GB is too little too small to install a Windows 7 operating system, I managed to install the operating system and office on a 64 GB we (my documents and files are elsewhere) and it is a boost for space; If you can afford it, I'd recommend the m4 SSD 128 GB mSATA: http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=050B0AA0A5CA7304

  Such a small disc can function as a Disk Cache, but it is more worth than his worth to implement.

• Can I put an SSD on a Pavilion G33 IPIBL-TX D5000t?

  If I can, I need to pay attention to what kind of SSD I have to buy based on the kind of SATA which supports the Board of Directors/BIOS? This adapter would work? My motherboard features here. My bios is HPQOEM - 20081217 version 5.21.

  This ok SATA2 ?  Regular SATA? SATA3? I could not locate any information in the manual SATA mention anything.

  The OCZ Vertex2 is fine. Be aware that you will need to purchase a support of adapter 3.5 'as the 1.8 SSD'. I highly recommend the OCZ SSD. I own a Vertex 64 GB SSD and love it.  The OCZ forum gives great support. You will find a guide that should be fairly simple installation.

• My dv7-2180us ceased to start with the new SSD (work)

  Hi people,

  Just got THE Vertex 100 GB SSD last night, installed on my Pavilion DV7 laptop and went to the city. Installed Windows 7, flashed the bios to 0.41, installed the chipset, storage and display of HP drivers, installed office, installation of visual studio, patched and patched and patched again. All in all, it was three hours and 10-15 restarts with nary a problem. The _only_ glitch I met was at the very beginning, when the installer of Windows 7 stuck during the "expansion of the files. I just clicked on 'back', re-picked the scores he has already made and further success.

  I turned off the machine last night and this morning it would not start. He would just stroll downtown. I tried pulling memory and disk, he beat POST, second addition of add-on, player still worked, added, crash. Replaced the SSD drive with my drive OEM, fine boots.

  I thought the drive was toast, but put in a USB enclosure to make sure. It works perfectly.

  Any suggestions? Seems to be a potential problem between HP, maybe the new bios (?) and the reader, but I can't understand why he spent so long after it flashes without problem.  Could I go back to an older version of flash?

  Thank you!

  It would not be a bad idea to head over to ocztechnologyforums.com to check that you have the latest firmware recommended on the SSD. I followed the guide for my SSD Vertex and have had zero problems with my installation of Windows 7.

  You should be able Flash the BIOS of your laptop computer to the previous version.
