Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

Thank you

Enzo

Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!

Thank you!

    First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

    In my opinion?

    I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

    Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

    As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

    From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

    Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

    I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

  • Which hard drive Solid State for Satellite Pro L670?

    I have a Satellite Pro L670, I need to configure for presentation and having to re - load operating system anyway.

    Rather than write the existing drive too much, I thought that it would be best to get a second to adapt instead.
    Replace the current (obsolete) rotation drive with a solid state, it seems to me the best way to go.
    Has anyone equipped with a hard drive to a Satellite Pro?

    For budget reasons, I plan to go for a capacity of 120 GB that will be enough.

    However, I've yet to discover at Toshiba they could recommend. Anyone else gone this route?

    Hello

    Theoretically, any SATA SSD drive should be compatible because the laptop supports a SATA controller.
    But in some cases, it might be possible that an SSD would not be treated properly. In such cases, SDD drive manufacturers provide different firmware updates

    So before buying an SSD drive check the support pages of the manufacturers of SSDS for more details would perhaps have a firmware update

  • Replace hard drive Solid State drive

    I plan to replace the hard drive in my 2011 17 "MacPro with a SSD drive. My Mac has only 2.0 GHZ, however, and I wonder if she will be able to feed the SSD efficiently or if it is still relevant to all. Thanks in advance.

    Your MBP should be able to handle the SSD without any problem.

    My suggestion is as a first step in the process of exchange of your disk for SSD should make a clone of your HARD drive bootable. You can use SuperDuper or CCC for the clone.

    After getting the done clone, be sure to test to see if she is able to start your MBP.

  • solid state hybrid

    Hi all.

    I am setting up a laptop computer Alienware M18x (http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dkcwkr1 & c = us & l = in & s = dhs & cs = 19 & model _ id = alienware m18x), noting that Alienware would recommend a 3Gb SSD while also offering a disc 1 TB Raid 0 (2 x 500) Solid State hybrid 7200 RPM.

    So my question - anyone know anything about hard drives Solid State hybrid for video editing? as opposed to solid state or just a big (raid-ed or non-raided) 750 GB drive at 7200 RPM?

    And, given that the issue is NOT - what is the best laptop or office, for ediiting video, because it is clear from the number of discussions that the workstations are best, what is it as edition on an Alienware Laptop? Suggestions welcomed.

    The best.

    My 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. The SSD originally came with the computer and not a subsequent update. I understand that a SSD replacing a HARD drive is quite complex, but would be more simple replacement of a dead with a new SSD SSD? I hope I could make myself.

  • 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

    First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

    OK, my wind is done, for now.

    I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

    After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

    So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

    So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

    Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

    My questions are:

    1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

    2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

    I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

    Thanks in advance

  • L501x - upgrade hard drive?

    Hello

    I have a computer Dell laptop l501x and seeks to upgrade the hard drive to a bigger, preferably a to 1.5 or 2.0 TB of HDD.  The current drive is a 750 GB WD model # WD7500BPKT.  I looking for some readers, but am not sure if they will be fit.  One is a Toshiba 1.5 TB, model # MQ01ABC150.  It is said that the thickness is 12.5 mm.  It fit?  Is there any disks out there in the range of 2.0 1.5 tb I can get?

    The 750 GB has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM and a 16 MB cache.  It has a 180 MB/second transfer rate.  I accept a drive 5400 RPM, the compromise is a slower speed for cooler operation.  But I see too many who are just 8 MB of cache.  Y at - he's not there with the hiding greater?  32 or 64 MB would be great.

    -Dave

    No - you can only use discs 9.5 mm or thinner.  There are no records on 1 terabyte that are made to the 9.5 mm format - it's as well as the limit for your upgrade, unless you go with an external drive.

    The best compromise of quality and performance would be a 750 G Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drive - it you win all space extra but significantly faster that it has integrated caching disk solid state drive.

  • Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hi all...
    I would like to ask something...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

    I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
    I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

    (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

    (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
    May I take in an informal shop, too?

    (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
    Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

    Thank you in advance...

    Hey Buddy

    It is good that ask you the question.

    (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

    (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

    (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

    (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
    Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

    Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
    The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
    So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

    Good bye

  • Restore the partition not used since upgrade hard drive

    Hello

    Several months ago, I replaced my 80 GB HDD with a 250 GB hard drive.  I used Apricorn upgrade kit to clone the drive, which, in hindsight, may have been a mistake.  I noticed that since installing the new drive, partition RECOVERY (D:\) does not seem to be used at all.  None of the files or directories of the partition have been affected since the day the hard drive has been installed.  Windows indicates that the restore points have been created with success since that time; I guess they are created on the primary partition (C:\).  The D: partition is 30 GB, 15 GB free.  It seems to me that with the current state of things, I have 15-30 GB of hard disk space lost for this partition.  Is it possible for me to get Windows to start correctly using this partition again?  If not, can I safely to reduce its size or eliminate it?  I guess I could store all my data and use the factory restore CD, but I want to save this as a last option resort, because it would be tedious to reinstall also all other software I have installed on this computer.  If someone could point me to a solution or even help me to understand what is happening, I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you.
