• G4 1303 AU Pavilion: to replace my optical drive with ssd

  My laptop is too slow and an upgrade I had already increased my ram from 2 GB to 6 GB now since I've had a spair ssd. So, I think to remove my optical drive with an ssd. This upgrade is possible for my laptop. Also any other suggetions are necessary because it is fairly old laptop and I got some spair parts change.

  Don't you attach it to a SATA - I interface. It's fast enough for ordinary stuff and you can play a video or .mp3 her but it wouldn't be good for video editing, photoshop, etc. Better to slow down the mechanical transmission that isn't too fast anyway, but is cheap, as cheap and fast SSD. You want to give it a chance to work at its optimum speed that only happens if plug you it into the port SATA internal.

  For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

  You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

• Satellite Pro 2100 - Exchange optical drive

  Hello!

  I m a proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH). Already done HDD Upgrade (as already said) of 250 GB and 512 MB RAM upgrade.
  Now, I want to upgrade the DVD-ROM in a DVD burner. I heard the fact, slimline drives are jumperset by the firmware, not the real riders.

  Can someone tell me weather I need to buy a "rider" master drive or a slave - drive "rider"? Or is it possible to replace the drive with a cable-select-disk?

  Hello Lonestar

  AFAIK all optical disk drives cannot be used with all portable models. There must be a difference with assignment of pins. Because of this, you must use only compatible disks. I have the same info as you. All readers are already "closed."

  I checked the user s manuals document. There are several compatible with your model of laptop sides, but none of them is DVD burner. It can be really hard to find the compatible DVD burner.

• Replace the HARD drive with SSD on a T530 - noob question

  Hi all

  I have a T530 with conventional hard drive. I want to replace it with an SSD (probably Samsung 840 Pro). When I look at the replacement Web site instructions, they refer to the use of spacers during the installation of an SSD (as opposed to rubber rails that frame apparently my current HARD drive).

  Do I need these spacers in order to install an SSD? If so, should I buy Lenovo?

  Thank you very much

  Jason

  If it's the same outer dimensions transfer you the rails on the replacement drive rubber. They add protection against shocks to the reader while an SSD is pretty shockproof. It does not float around well! If you do not use the rails lose you and probably never find them again if needed.

• Pavilion dv6700 CTO: how to replace the drive with SSD hard dv6700

  Am trying to replace has no HD with SATA SSD, but the pins are different (flat LANDSCAPE on the SSD and vertical on the original drive). There is no information on the removal of the black connector. How can I get the new drive to adapt?

  The dv6700 uses a piece of plastic connector via the standard SATA connections on the hard drive. It looks like the part of the hard drive but is a separate room.

  

  See the standard locations of SATA connection on the bottom, then the pins on the top brass? Carefully remove this piece of plastic from the old hard drive and the place are good go on the SSD and you.

• DV7-4143EA - upgrade Possible hard drive with SSDS. Can I upgrade this laptop with an SSD?

  I replace the HDD with a SSD.

  This laptop is able to run an SSD, with its limited processor AMD and BIOS?

  OCZ also have good records but one you mentioned is a SATA III a. You never get the full speed of SATA III, but this should work as a SATA II drive...

• Re: Problem with optical drive with the Satellite C50D-A002

  I have a problem with my CD drive on my laptop. Whenever I insert a disc and it runs well, but it tends to really vibrate wrong, I checked the driver updates but none are currently and I checked for any damage but I see nothing.

  Have you tested with several different CDs or DVDs?
  Make sure that each media is placed in the right position.

• Satellite C850-1E7 - what SSD can I use for the upgrade?

  Hi all

  I am looking for one SSD hard drive.
  Problem is the documentation does not specify whether the system is Sata 3 GB or 6 GB.
  I understand that if I buy a 6 GB SSD and the system supports only 3 GB, there is work, but I would rather try to localize "cheaper" 3 Gb SSD if the system supports up to that speed.

  Look under the hood, the current HARD drive is a SATA 3 Gb.
  Any of you know?

  Satellite C850-1E7 (serial: YC325575R)

  Thanks for any help.
  See you soon
  Chris

  Hello

  You could easily find what SATA controller not Satellite C850-1E7 support.
  Different hardware diagnostic tools she will provide you with details.
  I recommend you to install and test software like Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition.
  Both will provide the device properties built in Notepad.

  But I think that the device supports the SATA II (300Mbit/s) controller.

  > I understand that if I buy a 6 GB SSD and the system supports only 3 GB work remains
  Yes, it's okay because the SATA controller is compatible to the bottom

• What Toshiba SSD can be used for Satellite U200

  Please could you recommend me a * Toshiba * SSD for my laptop satellite U200.
  You need 120 or 128 GB.

  It would include a migration (for example Acronis) tool to copy my HDD (80 GB) to a new SSD?

  Thank you!

  I guess most of the SSDS that support the SATA controller/interface would be compatible and should operate within this U200 series.

  But you won't get readers full SSD performance as most SSDS are faster than the speed of my HARD disk controller support.

  I assumed that the device supports common SATA I (150 MB/s) controller. The SSD supports SATA III or SATA II (300 MB/s). But SATA is compatible to the bottom. Therefore, you should be able to also use the disks SSD SATAII/III

• Star Wars h.e. 15-an000nl: optical drive Swap with a ssd will void the warranty?

  Hi all

  I am a proud new owner of this machine, and since it comes with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM and I am also a happy owner of an SSD, I was wondering if the optical drive with the ssd Exchange void my warranty?

  I read a little the other q / a and I see that if I try to reach the drive, with all the screws and the cover plastic to raise, I'll probably end by unsecured (actually is not very clear if it's for sure or I'll use a ssd tested non hp...) and since then to remove the optical drive , I just remove a screw, buy an adapter and you're good to go...

  So my question is: what limits should I beyond the warranty for you? It's just the opening action itself, or there is more?

  And since I write here, optical drive sata port is a sata3 as (I hope) the hard disk it is? Would you recommend this operation?

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received...

  The optical drive is an authorized user of replacement so you can put an SSD in an optical caddy and will not void the warranty but I do not recommend: 1. the interface is slower; and 2. You cannot start it. Unfortunately, access to the internal hard drive space is verboten and may void the warranty. We can speculate and say if it's done well, nobody would know and likely HP won't guarantee, but we can get official word on this, so the smartest thing is to assume the worst. If you don't care the guarantee and want just your laptop to be quick, we are happy to help you with the understanding that you risk the warranty.

• Would it not possible to replace my optical drive in my series Vaio E with a SSD

  I have an Vaio E series SVE14A27CXH. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove my optical drive and replace it with a SSD then put Windows 8 on the SSD to speed up boot time.

  mutiger16,

  It might be possible to replace the optical drive with an optical drive for SSD conversion kit, but I'm not sure that it starts from this Bay.  My estimate is that it can, but I can't guarantee it will work...
