• 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

• Replace it with a bigger hard drive on HP 620

  I need a bigger hard drive on my laptop computer product for laptop HP 620, no #UUW WT249EA, serial no CNU1060PR9. It is originally equipped with a 320 GB SATA II HD. I want to install a 500 GB and, if possible, a 1 TB hard drive. I'm looking to

  HITACHI TRAVELSTAR Z7K500 2.5 "500 GB 7200 RPM SATA/600 Buffersize 32 MB and

  HITACHI TRAVELSTAR 7K 1000 2.5 "1 TB 7200 tr / MIN SATA/600 Buffersize 32 MB.

  Both drives are SATA III and the original drive is SATA II.

  I tried to work if my laptop can handle a larger drive, but the information I can find is contradictory. I'm very grateful for any help!

  PinguThePenguin

  If it will take a 500, there will be a 1 to and Yes, do not try to buy the hard drive for HP. buying a retail source for reasons of price. If you buy a 1 TB drive and it doesn't work I'll buy it from you at a cost, I'm sure it will be fine.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

  So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

  The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
  If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

  I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

  Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

  * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
  But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Pavilion 550-306no - for the 2nd HARD drive expansion slot?

  While thinking about replacing my old HP tractor, I browsed around the shop online for a possible new unit;

  Seems there is a box called Pavilion 550-306no, sold here in Sweden, which could meet my needs.  However, does anyone know if there is room (or not) for a 2nd HARD drive? Seems all the guides of the old user on how to develop yr PC in the forum of textbooks have been nuked.

  Concerning

  Hello

  The Specifications for the 550-306no indicate that it is not put into service for a disk hard 3.5 "2nd.  Review the information in the computer case.

  Some models will allow a 2.5 "HD or SSD to add.  See the image below.

  

  According to the amount of space available between the existing hard drive and the motherboard, you might be able to mount another HD using 3.5 media ".  Those that I had recommended in the past are now $40 (ouch).

• 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.

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

• Hard drive replaced, but the recovery disc may not work properly

  Oh here, my laptop (Acer Aspire 7730) will not start.

  I believe that I made the correct recovery disks when I got the machine before he fell, but I recently replaced my keyboard and hard drive with the same components after damage was inflicted on my laptop and I tried to run the steps in Acer recovery since the restore disc 1. He seemed fine, but after installing the 2nd disc I have now "BOOTMGR is missing" "Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" and cannot get it to load the backup that I did when the machine was working before-hand. I can get into setting up and see that the hard drive is now identified in the list of hardware (it was empty when the broken hard drive was still mounted), maybe someone can suggest some options to solve the my problem please?

  I just checked the recovery disc 1 on another machine and found these folders and files on it...

  http://i812.Photobucket.com/albums/zz48/Vanguard_01/VistaBootdisc1.PNG

  Is it possible that the backup that I did was for a specific hard drive, and because this HDD is different it won't find anything?

  Thank you

  Vanguard_1

  Hi Debleena5 and thanks for the suggestions, but I've reached the re-installation of the disc by using a bit 'out of the box' the thought process.

  I bought a box 2.5 "SATA to connect to any computer via the USB port to try to get something on the corrupted hard drive, but this failed. I then removed my new hard drive (which began at start up OK, as I mentioned in the question above) and placed in the case and plugged into my Windows 7 laptop. Once he had run up to speed I started to explore to see what files (or even at all) had been transferred during one of my recovery disks. I've not found much until I changed the "do not show hidden files and folders check" save a file that has been locked after you change the permissions, I went further and ended at the request of then ran CHKDISK and of course he scanned my drive and found and corrected some errors very quickly. After that, I unplugged then I went back to my Vista laptop and re-inserted the new hard drive in the broken machine.

  At this point, I was wondering if the disk drive on the machine may also have been damaged so I plugged a DVD player external via USB and changed the sequence to boot to the USB device. I started the laptop and the drive started to load the files and I could then complete the resettlement of these two disks and then to set up the machine as if I had just bought it.

  I'm very relieved that I managed to sort it out and now I have to upgrade to Windows 7 on this laptop that I read on and seems easy. Just a shame I can't copy the installation of my 2nd, portable more recent.

  Thanks again,

• For one SSD HARD drive swapping

  Permutation of my HARD for one SSD drive

  Dear people;

  I recently bought a Dell SSD to swap with my HDD on my Studio 1558, Windows 7, 64-bit failure.

  What I needed to know, is the image of the system will be enough to transfer all files and program, so the OS on the SSD. As much free disk space is concerned, I have more than enough to copy on.

  I am concerned about Microsoft not to validate the transfer of Windows 7? I also have an OS drive that Dell sent me. Wouldn't be better to use it instead of the image of the system?

  I thought that I would make sure I do that when the hour comes-any day now.

  Thanks for your time.

  You must install windows from the installation media, and then reinstall all your programs and files. System images are only to reinstall on the same disk or a disk of size even. There is no problem with the license. This isn't for the computer hard drive. Reactivation should not be a problem, but you might have to talk to a person to explain the replacement of disc.

• Question of hard drive replacement warranty.

  I just bought my first Dell laptop, which comes with 1 year limited warranty.

  The laptop itself has a 1 TB HDD and an SSD of 32 GB. If I took it to an authorized and had the SSD has swapped a larger internal drive, is that voids the warranty on the machine?

  It's my first computer I actually bought for my part, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

  You did not mention the computer model of office or the laptop you are talking about if this response is from guess your configuration.

  Generally systems with a mechanical hard drive capacity (the disk of 1 TB in your case) and a small capacity SSD (32 GB in your case) are delivered with the ssd configured to be used as two player cache to accelerate the use of the disc hard capacity mechanical with the software Intel Rapid STORAGE, but also a way to speed up startup and wake from sleep with the Intel Rapid START software.   The small capacity of 32 GB SSD is very probably a small card called mSATA (micro SATA).   A 32 GB drive is not enough space to use as a boot drive.  There are 64, 128, 256 GB mSATA but discs are not really worth the expense.   It isn't really a replacement value for the mechanical hard drive capacity with a 2.5 "SSD (very expensive for a1gb SSD 2.5" ($400?).)

  The combination of a mechanical drive inexpensive large capacity and low capacity mSATA is the best of both worlds, great amount of storage at a low price and the fast performance of an SSD as you often use the same files over and over again and the SSD used as cache makes the system behaves almost as fast as a machine that has only a solid state for most of the users drive.

  All that is to say that you have probably no need to spend money on an update unless you need to improve the marginal performance it provides, or you simply have money burning a hole in your pocket and want to spend.

  To answer your question on if your warranty make changes to your original system configuration, the answer is now.  However, if you encounter a problem that Dell feels support is linked to a part, you added to the system they may ask you to remove it and restore the original return to figuration co system to continue troubleshooting... But it is quite likely that this would never happen.

• My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

  I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

  Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your time.
