Dell Inspiron 3847 - what to buy to upgrade SSD?

I just picked up an Inspiron 3847 and am looking to upgrade to an SSD.

I think I'm going to need:

2.5 "BRACKET

SATA cable

I need a SATA III card or the existing interface works (I couldn't find clear specifications on what was actually the existing interface)?

Something else I'm missing?

Thank you!

You cannot install an SSD as boot disk while the original drive is hung.

There will be problems.

You can install an ssd after reclassification DBAR to 1.7.5.64 and then do a 16 GB or more usb flash recovery.

Then install the SSD drive

and then optimize it.

Then put the old drive as a secondary.

I usually recommend INTEL Retail readers for this so that you get of the optimization tools.

    My Dell Inspiron 3847 responded lately more slowly to insert a CD into the optical drive.  ("Reader DVD RW (E :) ("displays more slowly in the file Explorer after inserting a CD in the optical drive, and for CD splash screens are not displayed for several minutes.)

  • Second hard drive Dell Inspiron 3847

    Can someone direct me for information on the installation of a second hard drive for Inspiron 3847 computer for the purpose of the image upwards using the Acronis True Image Home software upward? There is room for an optical drive, which is totally alien to me, but nothing is said nowhere in the hardware in the user manual on the addition of second hard drive that seems to be a pretty normal material adding. No sense in this matter. First time forum thank you poster

    toplap

    Dell has not released the procedures to install an additional SATA hard drive, the Inspiron 3847 has a 3.5 Bay ", one for the second hard drive next to the main hard drive, there should be a set of rails located in the Bay, two 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws are required to secure the Rails.

    Procedures on pages 26 to 28 of the owners manual should give you an idea of what is required for installation.

    http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-3847-desktop_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.PDF

    You will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

    For Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

  • DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2-in-1 upgrades

    Nice day. I wanted to share my experience with the DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2 in 1 with Intel N3540. I bought the DELL decision-making. Receipt in very good condition. Slight marks pry where the bottom cover had been removed. I liked the form factor, the convertible function, the choice of the processor and suggested the battery life.

    I added,

    SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO 250GB,

    Kingston HyperX 1600 MHz CL9 SODIMM 1.35v DDR3L Impact computer laptop memory HX316LS9IB/8 GB Black and

    Intel 7265NGW Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + Bluetooth 4.0.

    The tools,

    small Phillips screwdriver,

    nylon spudger levers, to promote the elimination of the lower pane l to facilitate the removal and installation of the 3 elements mentioned.

    Adapter USB 3.0 to 2.5 "SATA III hard drive cable w / UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - hard drive adapter cable

    or

    Case disk 2.5 "SATA 6 GB/brightness with USB cable

    Cloning software (Samsung included migration and optimization of the software). You can download from the Samsung website, or drive transfer included, you will need an external optical drive.

    Samsung software at this point 20/08/2015 can support Windows 10 who I had updated. The migration software would not recognize the Samsung SSD as I tried to clone the SSD drive. I called Samsung Customer Service and the other suggestion is that among the updates of Microsoft or DELL, can hide the USB connection. I used the recovery software to get back the Inspiron 11 3147 to original state of Windows 8.1, (no update) and the software of Samsung acknowledged the SSD. I installed the SSD and the recognized system. I am now in the process of updating Windows.

    I had installed memory, 8GB, and the system has recognized and acknowledged the 8GB.

    I had installed the WiFi card and the system has recognized and acknowledged the new card. The Intel 7265 is slightly wider than the original 1707 of DELL, which is a single channel card and he returned without modification.

    There are other options of brand for replaced parts.

    The main idea is to take your time, the background suppression is not complicated, the pry bar helps not to damage the case which is plastic. Parts of Austin, Texas people have a video on You Tube to remove the back to facilitate the removal and insertion of the HDD/SSD. The battery and the HARD drive screws must be removed to perform the Exchange.

    I will update with new information regarding the replaced elements.

    Hello

    I've updated the 3147 11 for Windows 8.1, all updates, you are prompted for on 21/08/2015. Windows 10 was not an option at the moment. I re-recorded through the icon of the window that appears on the notification at the bottom bar to the right. I added no additional software other than Bitdefender Free Anti Virus and CCleaner. I removed McAfee Livesafe, using the remove McAfee software before I cloned the Samsung SSD.

    Notes on hardware upgrades:

    SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB SSD; The Samsung magician software news. Used space shows 40GB (Windows 8.1) 191GB of free space. Total capacity in the new storage 232.89 GB drive. The SSD is set for maximum Performance. Performance tests show sequential read 283 MB/sec, sequential write 271 MB/s, 27292IOPS and 18419IOPS to write random shuffle.

    The Samsung SSD 850 EVO has the ability to preform better. The Dell system does not support a port SATA 6 GB/s (SATA3). The Samsung said that the SSD is connected to a SATA 3 GB/s (SATA2) port. I ran across this info on the net. Samsung software seems to be in accordance with that.

    At this point, I accepted the results. I don't game or running demanding software that read/write of the highest scores would be beneficial for me. The advantage of using an SSD vs HDD. The SSD has no moving parts that I have to worry that I hold or move the 3147 11. The beginning, opening closing of the application software/is faster than the 5400 RPM HARD disk provided with the 3147 11.

    The memory of 8 GB of Kingston: The Microsoft System info shows GB 8.00 (7.89 GB usable).

    The Intel Dual Band wireless AC 7265: I have not used any test method to determine the actual changes compared to the Reference Dell 1707. It connects and maintains the connection. I use TWC combo phone/TV/internet by modem. The 7260 Intel and wifi 7265 cards were and are used in other DELL products.

    3147 11 Device Manager shows all connections, no problems. I mentioned that when I had updated for Windows 10 with the HDD, I see a problem a device not connected and no driver available. I will look when 10 Windows is installed.

    Terry, thanks for your question.

  • Upgrade of the block of power SUPPLY Dell Inspiron 3847

    wanted to upgrade my power supply 300 to something stronger, like the 450 Watt unit, that I have left over my old computer died. I tried to install it and all good, but the computer refused to power for more than a second, after reading up on top of some documents, I have seen many say the connector 24 pin is wired differently from the standard ATX PSUS. I need to get a power supply unit specific to Dell from a higher power to make this work?

    For this model Dell factory only a power supply 300 w, so even if you want to buy a Dell specific, there is no parts for this model that works.

  • Dell inspiron 3847 cpu upgrade?

    So, I just bought this great machine and everything works fine, but I was wondering,

    Processors Intel is my dell computer supports?

    I was especially thinking of upgrading to an Intel Core i5 processor 4590 (currently I have an intel core i3 4150)

    I can update without problems?

    I always use the original power supply from dell

    Believe it or not, my dell came with the i3-4150

    I checked since last year, and recently, they began using the new released processors. My local store ordered this dell in October-November 2014

    But back to my question, these processors that you have indicated, it works with my desktop dell computer?

  • Graphics card for Dell Inspiron 3847

    Can I put a 7200LE card in this computer?  If Yes, which?

    Recently, I put in an NVidia GTX 750 Ti in mine and have no problem except a bottleneck of the i3 4150 but im going to level it too. Rememeber if you receive anything requiring that you will need to buy a new power supply to fuel the beast that I suggest, if you get something newer that my 750Ti then it will be necessary to get at least a 400W - 750W PSU according to what the applications card and if you upgrade the processor. Personally, I like the whole machine, that Dell is the best producer by far in my opinion. I had an HP previously and a Lenovo. HP is the worst customer far experiencewise and Lenovo is ok, but their systems appear cheap inside as they have their own internal components "because its cheaper" kind of thing going. Dell is 5 stars

    Just curious on 2 updates. I'm looking to display a touchscreen is available or if the GPU is extensible. I noticed that my use of Ram/CPU is not fully used when I play but my GPU's.
    Play games such as cs (Counterstrike Global Offense), League of rust and rockets. They work not too bad, but I would have preferred a better rate.

    I am currently using a Dell Laptop Inspiron 15 "5000 Series.

  • Lost CD/DVD in BIOS drive / Dell Inspiron 3847

    I lost my driver CD/DVD entry in the boot BIOS section while trying to change the order of boot autour. I tried to use a boot disk that did not work properly and didn't know and thought that I had to change the boot order to see the boot-able DVD.  DOH!  ;-)

    One of the 5 start past choices [HL - DT - ST DVD +/-RW GHBON] [internal STRANGE machines] in all cases.

    Here are the 5 choices HHD entry and below which was the entry DVD of "HL - DT - ST DVD +/-RW GHBON. Now, there are only the HHD entry and no DVD entry.

    DVD is OK in the "Device Manager" and start from the disc to start the good DVD OK.  I tried updating BIOS to A04 A05 without change. I ran each tool/test Dell I can find without success in the restoration/correction of writing DVD in BIOS.

    I spent the better part of a week to implement this backup compy with all programs/files wife and I use to work/play. I wanted to make an ISO image for a total restoration at a glance.  I don't want to re - build from scratch once again unless I have no choice.  I did all the disks in the factory restore but it will restore the BIOS DVD boot entry correctly? If it's the only choice I do but we need to correct the BIOS entries.

    I really don't think that there is a problem.
