• iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.

  The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.

  Here's what I have on order:

  • Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
  • OWC online Thermal Sensor HDD upgrade 2009-2010 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017OEQKV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1
  • Kingston Technology 2.5 to 3.5 inches support and live for SSD - UTF8 & PSC = 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DGL2X7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=
  • 2 x cable high quality Original SATA 6 GB/s 3 - Gigabyte https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBYOD3E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1

  I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.

  I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.

  Cheers in advance

  Ian

  Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat).  The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.

  The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac.  Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).

  Good luck

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.

• HP ENVY 15-j030eb - SSD HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  Really hard to find all the information on the net regarding this laptop (no reviews, no tweaks etc.). Again I would buy the desire because of his good record. However only if the following can be done:

  Replace the HARD drive internal 1 TB per a DDI, preferably a Samsung 840 EVO Series 250 Gb.

  If so, can you just plug in, or do you need to support etc. Anyone who has done this before?

  Thank you

  Hello SebastiaanB,

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that you are looking to put a 256 GB SSD in the HP ENVY 15-j030eb. I'd be happy to help you with this. I'm you provide a link to the HP Support document: PC portable HP ENVY 15 and HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. If you look on page 5 you will see that the HP ENVY 15 laptop only supports an SSD 24 GB mSATA, your wanting to install the 256 GB it would not work. What you would end up with, it's either the BIOS would not see the drive at all or it would be very slow and you would lose any benefits that you would get to use an SSD.

  To answer your second question in the guide even if you go to page 44, you will see instructions on how to install an SSD in your laptop.

  I hope that I have answered your questions to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting about these issues on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

• Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

  Hello

  I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

  And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

  This SSD model will be compatible?

  Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

  Thank you very much

  Guy

  Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

  The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

  With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

  Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

• 17i wanted to replace SSD HARD drive

  I just bought a new screen Envy 17 t tactile image with a 1 TB HARD drive 5400 RPM. At the same time, I bought a new Samsung 840EVO 500 GB SSD with the intention to replace the slower HARD disk with the fastest SSD. I thought it would be a simple switch (I replaced the older drive in my laptop with no problems). I thought it would be a few screws and a small sign removed from underneath the laptop and everything would be made.

  But after I got the new machine, I got everything install and running and left information for the SSD HARD drive, I have everything off and returned the machine and unfortunately... There are no signs (as described in the documentation) that I expected. She only siingle piece!

  How to HARD drive to replace it? Am I supposed to remove all the screws and remove the bottom or top (where the keyboard is) does jump off and you have access from above?

  Help!

  This model requires the removal of the top cover to the hard disk:

• Can I replace the SSD HARD drive in my sve15123cv

  Hello

  I use sve15123cv, I want to replace the SSD HARD drive. Is this possible?

  Which SSD is good?

  Hi zunnun,.

  Thank you for visiting the Sony community!

  It is possible, but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any problem. You need to consider certain things such as the specification of the HARD drive, thickness or dimension of the SSD that you plan to install first. Your Vaio SVE15123CV is a non American model. Unfortunately, we do not have full details and specifications of your machine. However, you can coordinate with the Sony support based on your location or where you bought the device.

  For further assistance about your concern, please contact the representative offices of offices/Sony Sony nearest your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to the proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

  Hope the link helps.

• Update a SSD HARD drive

  Hello

• HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

  Hello

  I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

  The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

  I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

  Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

  When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

  Any suggestions on hard drive?

  The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

  Thank you.

  -Pratik Patel

  I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

  Thank you

• Pavilion G-6 2209au: Pavilion G - 6 2209au exchange for SSD HARD drive

  Hello I have this have upgraded with 6 GB ram and now want to replace the disc for one SSD HARD drive, I read in the forms some how you need to change the bios when you do so, what measures are necessary for the ssd to function? I don't like about backing up files, I'll use as an external HARD drive. Also I have the apu a4 4300 m and would like to get 10 4600 m cpu is this hard to replace or should I pay someone? Thanks for the support

  That's what you have:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03551667

  It is the repair:

  Manual

  From the outset I see that you only have 2 GB of RAM. Very easy and inexpensive to spend at least 4 GB. See page 46.

  The motherboard is the motherboard. There is no upgrade available. However, you have the CPU AMD A4 and you might fall into a 10 - 4600M. See page 83. It would be a major update and only would no treatment faster, but would provide a slightly better video chip since it is a "APU" with processor and video on the same chip.

  Finally, you can exchange the mechanical drive to a SSD drive. The upgrade of the speed would be very noticeable.

  That @banhien meant, however, the cost of this can equal or exceed a new laptop. and almost certainly will if you need to pay a technician to do it. The first update I is the RAM, then the SSD and then the last would be the CPU. If you need any help post more come back.

• External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

  -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

  -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

  -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

  -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

  Problem

  -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

  -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

  -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• Can I install SSD hard drive in the version of Windows XP Media Center 2002.

  Original title: ssd hard drives

  I have a Sony desktop running Windows XP Media Center version 2002. I am thinging about buying an SSD hard drive. I was wondering if it will work

  Hi Mike,

  Thank you for the question to Microsoft Community. I'll give my best to help you.

  From your problem description, I understand you want to find out if the SSD is supported in the version of Windows XP Media Center 2002.

  What is the model number of the computer?

  Windows Media center supports the SSDS. However, when buying, check with the manufacturer if the hard drive is compatible with Windows Media Center operating system in 2002.
