Envy of HP DV6 - 7215TX updated 1 TB HARD drive up to 1 TB SSD?

Hello

I just wanted to confirm that with the model DV6-7215TX can upgrade its SSD HARD drive? This model has the 32 GB SSD for fast start, then 1 TB HDD. If I simply clone the disk for one SSD same size. Then everything just move them, that's going to work? Or is there a more complex configuration for the raid working between SSD/SSD instead of SSD/HDD?

Thanks for your time!

See you soon

Murdoch

No doubt an SSD isn't the thing to have and the problem you describe is exactly what would be improved by an SSD... long time linear file transfer. The existing drive to the WSSD is an obstacle, however. The WSSD and the SATA drive is in a RAID array. The BIOS is set to RAID to allow that, and you have no control over the parameter disable RAID in BIOS. If you really want to install a SSD I go into the Intel Rapid Storage console and disable acceleration by the mSATA reader. I have then clone the SATA drive to the SSD drive and replace the former with the latter.

    Hello thanhtanpc.  I understand that your notebook is running hot.

    At the laptop never turns off randomly?

    A good place to start is to update your BIOS.  Once the BIOS updates often contain settings for the cooling system in the notebook that can allow it to run more efficiently.  Here is the latest version of your BIOS.

    You must also follow the instructions contained in this document.  It covers the cooling of the laptop cleaning system.  This is a good preventative maintenance and I suggest you do this once a month or two.

    Let me know the results.  Nice day!

  • HP dv6 envy: want to know on the best internal hard drive to replace it with

    Hi friends... I return my hp dv6 want 3 years and it has worked well for me so far, but since last month, everytime I turn on my laptop, a message is popping indicating that YOUR HARD DISK has FOUND YEAR IMMINENT FAILURE AND there NEED TO BE REPLACED and I studied a lot of posts here regarding this problem and everyone was asked to replace it with a new one.

    3. can I replace the hard drive with a hard drive of 1 to solid state?

    4. links to vendors who sell internal hard drive?

    Please help me friends...

    The answer is Yes in all areas. The laptop will accept any 2.5 inch wide disk SATA 9.5 or 7 mm thick and which includes mechanical hard drives and Solid State drives. Where are you located (one country)? Hard drives and SSDS for laptops are a part of the goods. You can pick them up at a Best Buy or Frys if you live where there are no Frys or you can use amazon.com or newegg.com or similar online service. The prices vary a lot, so it is useful to get a good deal. A 1 to SSD can run more than $300, you know. Need instructions for installing and/or migrating software? We are a bit like McDonalds here in the Forum... served billion regarding replace drive hard/updates to level. One of the specialties of the House, so to speak.

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

    I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

    Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
    Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

    To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

    > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
    Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

    Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
    Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

  • Pavilion dv6-1030us: there is no hard drive

    I have a dv6-1030us which today would not initialize, said that no boot device and the hard disk do not exist.  Works very well yesterday, without any hard disk problems.  I have the original recovery disks that I created when I got the machine.  When I put disc 1 one number, it says windows copies the files, then a status bar continuously appears above the copyright of microsoft thingy.  The status bar continues to flow as he do something and not going anywhere.  If I insert recovery disk number 2 nothing happens, even if I insert the disc number 2 and try to restart.  Any ideas or is it time to go shopping

    It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. Laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 320GB hard drive you can use a 500 GB hard drive but not a hard drive of 250 GB. The main problem you will have to avoid is that latest hdds Advanced Format (AF) will cause major problems and probably a return for Vista recovery disks.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6060ep: question to replace HARD drive

    Hello.

    I would like to know if replacing the current 500 Gb Hdd with a SSD would cancel or in any way affect my warranty coverage. The laptop is a year old. Thanks in advance for any assistance of withy this question.

    Hello:

    There should be no problem with the warranty as long as you don't break something trying to install the HARD drive.

    HP will not support the SSD however and your recovery disks don't work because the new drive must be the same size the 500 GB HARD drive you removed.

    I have a workaround for the problem of recovery disk...

    According to the specifications of your PC system, it came with W7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    It must be in English, French or Spanish version too.

    If so, download the ISO W7 Home Premium 64 bit on the link below.

    Burn the file on a disk using a program that can burn ISO files so the DVD is bootable DVD burning.

    Burn at the lowest speed as possible.

    Then use the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop computer to activate the installation.

    Support of your laptop and driver page visit to install all the drivers you need.
