Desktop Pavilion Elite 137c: SATA Interface for adding an SSD

How will I know what SATA (1, 2 or 3) that supports my Pavilion Elite 137c. I want to add an SSD that says he uses a SATA-3 interface.

You are the very welcome.

I think it'll do the trick.

I added a 330 Intel SSD SATA III in my HP Elitebook 6930p business book, which has the Mobile Intel 4 series chipset, also SATA II controllers, and subjectively, it makes a very nice improvement upon startup and access time.

I subjectively, because I have not run before and after calibration of performance tests.

The mechanical hard drive was a high-end drive for laptop Western Digital 7 200 rpm, not a reader laptop slow poke 5 400 rpm.   I had no problem saying that the high-performance SSD.

If you put any credibility in the Windows experience index scores, the mechanical hard drive had the score 5.9 max, that you can get with a mechanical hard drive and SSD hostage up to 7.6.

    Hello

    A new motherboard verses a new PC is an interesting question.  Develops technology in increments of best financially or is it better to just take the plunge?  Advanced technology has always been more expensive for early adopters.

    Just replace the motherboard involves hardware, license the software in some cases and labor costs. How long this choice will extend the useful life of the technology you use? For example, if the new motherboard is leading edge, then you could spread the costs for adding new technologies to your own model of life of technology.  No matter what you do, it sometimes becomes a viscous circle of technology.  Don't you think that manufacturers use the obsolescence in their business model?

    If you were running a business, you may want to consider the initial cost is amortized over an expected useful life the time (36 months?), then add in the trade in value or resale value to cross the real cost of xx months.

    Back to your original question. Depends on components that can be transferred to the new motherboard and how long they will last before having to replace them.  Building a PC can be more expensive, and then buy a new PC, because manufacturers use the "scale of economies" to produce the same PC at a lower cost. If you're a tech enthusiast, then costs don't matter really that much.  You need to replace a "go faster goodie" with another on your calendar and tithe on.

  • Pavilion Elite m9600t: OS reinstall for HD "Advanced format" on Windows Vista

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9600t desktop provided with Windows Vista. Recently my 640 GB Hitachi hard drive gone bad. I ordered a new one (Seagate 1 TB), installed and tried to reinstall the Vista operating system with the provided HP Vista recovery disks.

    During installation, the following message appeared: "installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer." I did research and found this happens on Vista with discs advanced formatting (AF). My new record is AF.

    I have read some threads on the forum of HP who say that you can always do the operating system installed, but you have to do by creating a new disc of installation with your product key, and then mix a partitioning in there. I'm confused on where to find the ISO files for Vista (64-bit SP1), as well as how to partition before installing the operating system, and which must be partitioned.

    I have a drive to upgrade Vista to Windows 7, but I can't use it until Vista is installed. Is there a way I can ignore the Vista installation process and move to Windows 7? Who could help me to avoid the issue of the AF.

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    You can check this link to know how to clean your drive of W7 upgrade installation.  I assume you have the W7 upgrade of the key product that will be necessary.

    http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/clean-install-Windows-7-using-an-upgrade-disc/

    Another thing you can try, is to format your new drive to NTFS MBR and get rid of the advanced formatting.

    You can use this disk management software and create a bootable CD, and if everything goes well after you format the disc as it was supposed to be for your PC, you can use the recovery discs if the clean install from a disk upgrade W7 does not (because of the problem of the AF).

  • Pavilion dv7t-3300: weird behavior after adding the SSD and RAM upgrade

    Has just added a new HD SSD to my note as "disk 1"(the former one is 'disk 0', he has a Win. " 8.1 works). Installed Win. 10 in the new drive and everything has worked well so far. I tried to upgrade the memory, so I bought two Crucial DDR3 1333 with 8 GB memory each, the previos configuration were two 2 GB memory (4 GB total).

    The question is: If you use a single memory (8 GB) everything looks Ok. If I add the other (16 GB total), the new SSD is not recognized, but the old man works as usual. The new drive is not yet recognized after botting from the former (not even from the Disk Manager). Already tried to drag the disks with no luck. There seems to be something with the memory, since everything works with a memory of 8 GB or with two 2 GB memory, but with two memoirs of 8Gb the new SSD seems to be dead

    Advice or similar experiences? Is there something that I am missing?

    So much worse... the SSD seems to be broken or something similar. Does not work on the other PC, then... I guess that this has nothing to do with the memory

    BTW, the 16 GB are works fine

  • Office Pavilion Elite e9220y: name of the Internet access when you hover over said tskbr network 5. is that HP name or co cable. ?

    Hello

    I have a desktop Pavilion Elite e9220y Home Premium; Win 7; 64-bit computer.

    I'm wired; but have wireless for other things (Kindle, etc..)

    When I open internet access in the bar of tasks and under the "wireless network connection", I see MY connection (and the name I gave my connection) and 5 solid green bars (no problem).

    Above this section, there is an article with a picture of a House (provided by HP, I'm sure), and he says:

    ' Currently logged on:

    and just below it says: (to the right of the photo of the House) network 5

    and just below it says: internet access

    That's all it lists the wireless network connection with my name and the names of other connections in the district.

    My question:

    the name "network 5"?

    HP says it is my cable provider; my cable provider says it's at HP.

    This can be changed?

    Thank you!

    Hello Denise,.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I understand that you have a problem with wireless networks.

    Windows will think it's in a new network whenever it detects a new router. If you have changed your router or the router configuration. Windows creates a new network. But do not worry.

    If you don't want the name of the connection to be listed under active connection, follow the steps.

    (1) open the "Control Panel".

    (2) select and open "network and sharing Center."

    (3) click on the ' icon "(une icône de la maison pour moi) less 'show your active networks'.". " This will open the dialogue "set network properties." Here, you can rename a network connection or a change as the network connection icon.

    4) click on "Merge or delete network locations" to view the list of network connections that are stored. You can merge or remove connections

    Let me know if it helps.

    Have a great day!

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t - Wi - Fi adapter with antenna?

    I would like to connect to a desktop Pavilion Elite to a local network. The router is a Linksys EA3500 (802.11n technology). The distance between the router and the wireless adapter on the desktop will be about 30 feet with walls between the two.

    The office doesn't have an outdoor antenna. When I checked for network adapters, I found this: Realtek RTL8168 / 811D Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20).

    I use the computer for HD, movies, not for games. Should I buy a Wi - Fi adapter? And if so, which one of these adapters Linksys would give me better performance?

    Hello:

    I have the AE3000 on two of my HP business offices.

    It has good reception and never had a problem with either of the units.

    I have a 2-story house with a finished basement.

    My Linksys EA 4500 router is on the second floor.

    One of my desltop of PC's in the basement.  The AE3000 on it, you get 4 bars of reception on the 5 GHz band and 5 bars on the 2.4 GHz band.

    Connection speed is 324 Mbit/s (out of 450) on my PC of basement on the 5 GHz band.

    Connection speed is 216.5 Mbps on bandwidth 2.4 GHz because I have this band the blended value that allows (wireless B and G) to connect legacy devices.

    It works fine on W7 x 64 and x 64 W8.1 (using the drivers W7 on the CD).

    It also comes with a 3' USB cable attached to a docking station so that you can position the camera somewhere for better reception.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t - two monitors?

    Hello forum!

    For work I'll put up a brand new, out-of-the-box, desktop Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t series, and I'm supposed to put up with two monitors. The monitors are both monitors HP 21 "(not sure model number, but pretty sure this info is irrelevant.) Both monitors have a DVI and a VGA output each.

    The problem is... I don't know if the computer can get out to two monitors. I mean, I think it can its such a new computer and the plug about it being very respectable. But at the back of the system, the only entries that I see are:

    1 HDMI

    1 DVI

    assortment of 6 audio inputs (speaker, microphone, etc.).

    1 Ethernet

    4 USB PORTS

    and something audio optical

    But there is also what appears to be two locations that are "closed" for lack of another word. One is what appears to be a DVI input but with a screwed in black plastic piece. I guess I should remove the plastic and it would be an another DVI but on the plastic was the words "DO NOT REMOVE" so I left alone. The other location is what seems to be a HDMI slot with a black piece of plastic glued to the front.

    The computer is capable of ouputting to two monitors?

    and

    What are those waterproof slots?

    Good luck with your responses and thanks in advance,

    There's a HMDI.  Use a HMDI on DVI connector.  Not very expensive.  Make sure you have the right sex on each end or cable/connector.  See the Big Dave det-related article it upward.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me: adding an SSD (SATA III) for HP Elite desktop computer. Is this possible?

    Dear Experts...

    I want to upgrade my computer by adding an SSD as a master drive and move the original 2 TB drive to be a slave.

    I found several coices of SSDS, but almost all of them are SATA III interface.

    Is my office supports this interface? as it is just written that it has a SATA interface without specifying what version of SATA!

    How many hard drives could this office holds? I already have two (the original 2 TB and my old drive 256 GB) and I wand to add a SSD for Windows and the progs.

    Can I purchase this SSD for example? Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5 inch SATA III single-unit Version internal Solid State...

    It is the official my desktop HP specifications page .

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    It has 2 bays free HARD disk as on its specifications:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02781215

    You can trade SSDS on your machine and make the old HDD as a secondary drive ("slave"). SATA III is backwards compatible so you can use it. Since then have been smaller SSD (normally 2.5 "), something that is similar to one of the following media:

    I guess I can't install a player?

    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    Hello

    Your computer is fairly new, you should be ok, installation of a 1 TB drive.  Older computers may have problems of card motherboard/bios with bigger hard drives.  You can also install a SATA2 drive, but if your motherboard doesn't support SATA drive will just default to this speed (SATA2 is backward compatible).  The player below is to consider.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 500f D: SSD replacement for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f to original desktop PC hard drive

    Hi all!

    I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.
