• Intend to upgrade my z620 with a boot SSD disk (and maybe a new series of processors) - advice?

  Much as I love my z620, having a SATA boot drive is painful, once you have become accustomed to instant gratification of SSD.

  I plan to buy an Intel SSD and a stand-alone version of of64-bit Windows 7 to go with it. My plan is to do a clean install of the operating system and applications on the SSD (assuming that I can make it work). Is this what I need to know it's HP Workstation specific in order to complete this upgrade? I guess I need to enable the AHCI in the BIOS (J61 v03.69).

  Another question - I currently have two UC E5-2620 (these are the Xeons V1). I want to upgrade these high V2s of range at some point in the future. I think that systems with older BIOS are not able to upgrade, but I think that my installed BIOS is a newer version (end of autumn, 2013).  I agree that any upgrade would be at my own risk and I would like to get the thoughts of others about the feasibility of this.

  First of all, at this later date of starting block that you provide in your second post it seems that, like you can make v2 upgrades.  There is the old 1 1 most recent trunk block versions of the motherboard Z620 date and you can search in the forum here to say from the BIOS easily if you have the original or revision 1 motherboard.  I think that you already know the answer on that.

  This is important: I hope that you have the original SATA drive it HP supplied with the workstation.  Which is a HP Recovery partition which you can see on disk management in the Device Manager.  This partition, you can create optical disks or even a bootable USB key that will allow you to rebuild from scratch a clone of the W7Pro64 which should / could come from the factory.  Who is a clone facility and has this title the OEM W7Pro64 COST so that it activates.  It's a generic COST.   You don't need to spend 140.00 to get W7Pro64... you have probably already under the terms of your purchase Z620.

  The value of this COST is that you can clean reinstall that way and a clone of your new installation can be imaged and even placed on an another Z620 and it will activate it too (be sure to respect the conditions of use for such things).  Because it's the OEM COA clone in question here you can make clones/backups with ease.

  You can do your own build directly on a new SSD at this "Recovery" approach, and the installer will know what to do.  You should already have your emulation of BIOS SATA RAID value + equivalent AHCI... for sure you want that, to get the benefits that come with the new SSD SATA/readers.  A generation of SSD Z620 we have recently received from HP has a C400 Micron 256 GB SSD from the factory.  I got older versions of HP of this SSD of eBay, made a low level of DBAN reformatting, so a format NTFS (long type) and updated the firmware to the same level as that on this new SSD HP (070 H).  There is a firmware update HP to do this with, which works very well.  You need to do the update with the HP update if it's an HP OEM SSD.

  Finally, there are different converters for the SSD is a form factor 3.5 "2.5".  HP has some devices "slide-in" way too expensive for this ("tool-less"), but I posted here on the HP screw equivalent which has exactly the same interface of BlindMate to sheets of data/SATA power of Z620 than mesh disk drawers with... Search eBay for "hp 2.5 to 3.5" and these work perfectly in the Z620 therefor.»  It is now my favorite device.

  processors v2... I hope that someone else will pay for those.  Not cheap.

• W520 - upgrade RAID HDD SSD

  Hi all

  I have a W520 who has Dual RAID hard drives (via Bay adapter), HDD 500 GB, 7200 RPM configured by lenovo when I bought the machine. I was curious if it is possible to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive? If so is there something that needs to be disconfigured for it? In addition, the SSD can be used similar to a RAID?

  Any help on this is greatly appreciated that the machine is quite slow with the HARD drive.

  Thank you!

  My original plan when I bought my W520 was to get a pre-configured with RAID and then buy an msata and settle the system. I couldn't find a raid system for a reasonable price where I lived well...

  But this might be something for you perhaps? You can install an OS/system for msata ssd and keep the hard drives in raid for quick storage. MSATA is SATAII, but where the reader to other bays are on the W520 SATAIII. Yet, I used my msata for OS/system for a while, can't say he felt somehow more slowly.

  Not really answering your question, I know. But maybe something that might speed things up. I have no experience with ssd's in raid. A lot of articles on this topic, if you look around, however.

• Increase the performance of MAC with the SSD upgrade

  I have a 21.5-inch iMac model 14.1 (end 2013) with 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB drive. On this, I use some applications in memory such as Adobe CS 5.5 and VMWare Fusion 8.1.1. I have Applecare on the machine until September 2017. I often find myself running out of memory. My goto solution would be to increase the memory and replace the hard drive with an SSD. I fear, however, that this cancels my Applecare. My research indicates that while that frowned upon, I can upgrade my memory and keep my Applecare as long as it is done by an authorized by Apple, but if I do the SSD I'm out of luck for the installed components. My thought is that I can get an external SSD and move the ' WIndows 10' VM (s), as well as expand and move the swapfiles for the SSD system.»

  My questions are am I right about the Applecare and warranty and I plan to use an external SSD to accelerate performance and ease the work of memory constraints?

  I have a Macbook Air in 2010 and also a 2008 iMac - both with only 4 GB of memory (you have twice as much), both running El Capitan and the two with SSD - and perform very well. The 2008 iMac used to have a rotating disc which has recently failed, with the replacement of SSD, it is a remarkable transformation with the new SSD, it seems very quickly for me. Both have Photoshop CS4, which is not used much more, but they run this software very well, as well as MS Office 2011 and other programs such as Mail, Safari, Firefox, etc. (Firefox + Photoshop together put a noticeable load on machines, in fact, but while I sometimes hear the fans come on the Macbook Air, it maintains not up very well) No slowdown) You'll be in great shape with a SSD for your newer computer. These old machines that I use have Core 2 Duo CPUs, chips relatively slow, but they seem very quickly with the SSD.

  You will need to check with Apple directly on your AppleCare and so that would be affected. I don't know that anyone is not Apple should trust this question.

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

  Thank you so much in advance.

  A welcome message

  If you remove the card RAID Apple on the Mac, you MUST connect the iPass cable on its location on the motherboard, or all four bays are unusable:

• Satellite L755 - 1-3 - with HD SSD upgrade

  Hi guys, sorry to bother you.

  I was wondering if I can upgrade my laptop with a new + SSD HD +.
  (everyone tells me is a big change in _speed terms_!)
  while I was trying to figure out if my * SATELLITE L755 - 1 3 * has a _SATA 2 or 3_ internal port (the price of the HDs are quite different...)

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  As far as I know the SATA III are supported since the Intel P67/H67 chipsets
  That is why the laptop seems to support 300 MB/s max and this would mean that the SATA II HDD is good enough

• My g56 laptop is compatible with the ssd upgrade

  I want to spend my hard drive on my G56 laptop to an SSD. Is this possible?

  Altogether. Any laptop computer or any other that uses a SATA hard drive can work with and benefit from a SATA SSD.

  Ideally, I need the number of entire model, but here is what I think is your Service Manual:

  Manual

  For installation instructions, see page 37. The best and easiest way to do is to use cloning software and a usb Kit of SATA external drive to copy all the contents of the existing on the SSD drive. This is why you must get an SSD at least as large as the amount of data on the drive already more than 20% for comfort. For most people that means getting at least an SSD 240 or 256 and preference a SSD of 500 or 512.

  A 512 GB SSD will put will cost you at least $315 and a 256 will be around $165. Here's a good 256 on newegg.com:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147248

  This is the type of SSD, I have my own laptop. You can pair it with a laptop computer upgrade kit which includes the adapter cable.

  The best you can do is to contact Samsung and request recovery media to restore your system to its factory default state.

  Call Samsung to get a recovery disc - to find a phone number for your location:

  Thank you Andre, very appreciated, unfortunately Samsung and their Tech Support here in the UNITED Arab Emirates was not as useful.

  I managed to keep the button restore during the 5 sec boot process that initiated the request 5 restore Samsung which was then able to take the original installation of the hidden Partition image.

  Fortunately the issue is resolved.

• HOW TO CHANGE SATA to RAID mode (SSD CACHE PROBLEM)

  Hello

  I have a HP Envy 4 1054tx Ultrabook with 500 GB drive HARD + SSD of 32 GB. My HARD drive crashed and replaced it with a new one. Unfortunately, my restore disk does not work so I installed fresh new WIN7. I try to use the SSD caching capability of my laptop (which he did before, when I bought it).  Based on the forums I've read, the SSD cache implementation requires that the SATA controller must be set to RAID mode.  However, when I entered the BIOS, there is no option or the configuration that I can use to set SATA RAID my HARD disk mode.  In this regard, I can't meet one of the requirements of SSD caching.  Here are some of my BIOS Setup.  Can you help me please guys how to work on it? I am not convinced, on how my phone performs without SSD caching.

  Thanks in advance.

  

  Hello:

  Disk controllers hard HP consumer notebooks cannot be changed from their default values.

  More than likely if your model is equipped with a hybrid drive, the speed control is already defined with RAID.

  I recommend you to read this blog on how to get this Setup to work on a new install of W7.

• the T5500 to an SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I just bought a T5500, he came with the C2 SATA all drives, no RAID, 2 total configuration of the disk and I think that the integrated Intel chipset SATA 3.0 GB/s controller. I would like to improve it with an SSD with SATA 6 Gbps. Reading other forums, I think I need a different controller but that is all I have to do this work. I also saw that I needed to take a few steps in the BIOS and windows 7 to adequately use the SSD as boot drive.  Does anyone have experience with this type of upgrade?  Thanks in advance!

  The Intel SATA controller on the system is blocked to 3.0 GB/s - you can only make it any faster. However, you can get something like this:

  http://www.automatedwebhosting.NET/product_info.php?products_id=117105

  You can use an SSD with this speed. And since it will unload the controller to use a PCI-e card you could leave your RAID in place.

  It doesn't matter if you do or not, you need to set your SATA controller in AHCI mode in the BIOS. I've never had to do it on a T5500 so I can't tell where exactly it would be in the BIOS but it is usually under 'Storage' or 'Storage controllers.'

  Back up your data first course of a RAID on an AHCI (or do both at once) will require you to reinstall Windows. So make sure that you have all copied a safe place off the coast of the Precision Workstation before you do. See updates section to see if your BIOS has an update. Later one for this system was released on 16/05/2011, version A09

  Hope this helps, let us know if you need additional assistance. I want to clarify for the record that I did this upgrade to a T5500 but you have installed SSD on several other Dell systems & some custom systems.

• 2011 21 inch iMac won't start after the SSD upgrade

  Recently, I upgraded my hard drive for an SSD via a computer repair business in my neighborhood, I also upgraded the ram, but I don't think it's in the case. On a two weeks after the upgrade, my computer don't turn on more. I took it to the genius bar and they told me that the DSS had "failed." So of course, I took my computer to the computer repair company and they ran some tests, discovered that the hard disk does not (according to them, he only read this way because the apple store has run the test for a normal hard drive and not an SSD). I'm not super computer savvy, so I took their word for it.

  Now, however, it has been nearly a month and my computer refuses to activate once again. Previously, it has worked well, the fans were running at full blast - what I knew would be a problem (although the repairman told me that they 'fixed' this issue too). So the first time, I downloaded a program called SSD fan control and set the fans to run in silent mode. This second time around, I realized that it was probably a bad idea because it could lead to overheating, so I put manually the fan speed so that we could hear still run, but just not as loud.

  I tried the reset SMC, but no result. Right now, I unplugged everything including disconnect it from the power strip.

  Any other experience of power with a new SSD failure? Is there anything else I could try at home before contacting the computer again repair business? I would not be able to reach at least until tomorrow, and I'm really curious to know how they managed to get my computer back on the first time.

  Also, I've been out of my warranty period for about a year, so that's why I thought that I was not risking too much by exchanging the original for one SSD drive.

  First of all, the original in Middle 2011 iMac hard drive had a temperature sensor integrated in the drive.  More new or replacement of those who do not.

  Other World Computing sells an Apple certified temperature sensor that plugs into the SATA cable.

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD11/

  I just put a 2 GB Western Digital Black in mine, with the sensor.

  I suggest all first, reinstall the OEM disc and see if it boots.

  Put the SSD in an external enclosure and see if it runs...

  Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.
