• 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

• Pavilion 15-ab057nr: How can I change for one SSD HARD drive and update my RAM?

  Hi, I would like to change the hard drive of my computer (Pavilion 15-ab057nr) for one ssd and also add another module of RAM. The problem is that I've never opened a laptop before, and I don't know where to start, or what should I do after I opened the computer. I don't know if anyone could help me by giving me a guide on how to perform these upgrades, every little detail would be useful. Thank you.

  Hi @IYMF,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab057nr and tried to help you! I looked in your question about upgrading the internal hardware. I understand that you are looking to upgrade your hard drive to a Solid State Drive, as well as adding another module of RAM.

  Here is a link to your Service Manual. You can find the specifications for compatible discs on page 49. Please note that this laptop model doesn't support that type hybrid Solid State Drives.

  Maintenance manual, page 55, there will be a list of the size of RAM supported, but also a guide on the replacement of the RAM. Up to 16 GB of RAM may be supported in a 8GB x 2 configuration.

  On pages 46 to 50 of your maintenance manual, you will find instructions on how to remove the rear panel of the laptop, as well as, instructions on the removal of the original hard drive.

  I also found this Vidéo Guide giving visual aid on the replacement of the hard disk. The model of laptop in the video is not exactly the same as the model that you have, but it can provide assistance, however.

  Please let me know how it goes.

  Thank you.

• Tecra S11 - 11 p stand for the SSD HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a question regarding the use of the intensity of the HDD and SSD.
  MyvToshiba HDD use 5V 800mA. The SSD I use takes 5 v and 1, 6a. That's double the amps used by the HARD drive.
  There will be problems with the power supply?

  > There will be problems with the power supply?
  Why?
  In the worst cases, the battery working time would be a bit shorter due to the higher consumption of the power of the SSD, but it doesn't have to be a bigger problem

• 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.

• 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:

• Exchange the HARD disk of 1 TB for one SSD 120 GB problem...

  Hello

  I just bought a HP pavilion special edition with audio of beets running windows 8.1.

  What I wanted was a windows 8.1 with touchscreen and SSD, but could not find a laptop with all these attributes at an affordable price so decided to buy this one and upgrade to an SSD HARD drive, 120 GB is more than enough storage for me so I bought a Kingston Hyper X 120 GB SSD I did a recovery USB media and installed the new drive, unfortunately, support for hp recovery would not format the SSD drive and then I accidentally formatted the USB and I am not able to make another.

  Any suggestions?

  You could re - install your 1 TB drive in your laptop and a Clone of your SSD drive. Then once the clone is complete simply swap the drives.

  Or you could buy a HP recovery support and recover from your newly installed SSD.

• PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT: Replacement of the SSD HARD drive and Recovery Options

  I have a PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT I went recently to drive HARD original for one SSD of 850 Evo from Samsung using Samsungs cloning/copying software. Everything went well and the PC is in use today. I do not see the partition D: Recovery on this machine more well, so I think this has not copied or was lost. I still have the disk that was replaced.

  I was wondering if there is a way to replace HARD drive like this with an SSD and everything by keeping the system recovery feature that was on the HARD disk, and if a set of system recovery disks of before installing SSD would continue to operate, or if I need to create new ones, and if I CAN create new ones.

  rgoodrich

  I did what you want to do (for example, to replace a disk with a DDI) and was able to retain the function of HP recovery - but it's because of two important facts.

  First of all, I used a DDI with the same capacity as the original HARD disk.  This is important because if you use a smaller SDS, the HP recovery feature will no more work as a reset begins with reformatting the drive and recreate the original scores - which will fail if the disc is too small.

  Second, I use Macrium Reflect product to 'clone' the HDD to the DDI, which means, he made an exact copy of the partitions on disk on the SDS.  So, when I swapped drives, the PC restarted without any problem.

  People have posted here on the use of the software from Samsung, and they seem to have problems restarting after use and (apparently) with successful copy from disk HARD original in the new SDS.

• How to level a T61 HDD for one SSD without reinstall?

  Hi all. I bought this ThinkPad, I write with back in 2008 (a T61 6465-CTO with Vista and Intel integrated graphics) and he has been working a lot to me since then. I had no problems with it and his equipment is still able to manage what I have to do. However, I wanted to move her to an SSD HARD drive is faster and snappier. I know that I have would be limited at SATA1 speeds with this camera if I don't want to change the BIOS (which I did not), but I think that even this would be a great improvement on the existing HARD drive.

  To that end, I recently bought an SSD that their prices have dropped slightly (bought a new 120 GB SSD Samsung 840 for less than $100). I said SSD sitting next to me now but I did nothing yet because I want to make sure that I have the right to clone the old disk and swap in the new process. From what I understand instructions, I should:

  1 turn on the computer, install the Samsung Data Migration Software
  2. connect the SSD to a USB port via a USB-SATA Adapter
  3 clone the main for the SSD connected HARD drive using the software of data Migration
  4. turn the computer off, physically remove the old HDD and SSD in its place
  5 turn on the computer and everything should be fact/same as before (with the exception that the computer has a new storage drive)

  Is this correct?

  The HARD drive is encrypted so I removed the password for user/master I have to enter when it starts up, but what I have to do the same for the BIOS password that I am invited to when you turn on the computer? What the hidden; restore partition would clone too much or it would be lost. The HARD drive is in my opinion a 160 GB model, while the SSD is 120 GB but I have read that this difference in capacity should not be a problem since I'm using less of the new disc capacity (I have about 100 GB of free space on the HARD disk)?

  Sorry for all the questions. I have very little experience when it comes to changes in the software/hardware and I really would like to avoid wasting it so I would appreciate any help from people who have knowledge fact how to do this successfully. Thank you.

  The installation that you want to be cloning is optimized for spinning a player - not SSD - and you would have to align in a first time, disable the services later and again, you would not get the performance of a "clean" installation

  You can use any disk Vista installation as long as it matches the version (Home, Pro, full) on your COA - the worst that can happen is that you would have to call MS and activate by phone.

  I had the question why you want to the outdated drivers and other bloat Lenovo recovery partition on expensive SSD space as well, but it's your call. If you provision the reader - and I think you should - you won't initially that much space...

  TRIM running manually is certainly a possibility, but not one that I'm particularly sharp, especially on a small disc of TLC as the Samsung you have. You will need to be on it for not to have slow down for analysis.

  Good luck.

• Laptop: how to make my laptop for one SSD

  Hey everybody,

  I would spend my hard drive of the laptop to an SSD, what are some of the things that I should look for to upgrade successfully, and this may affect my 10 Windows license?

  Thank you

  Bill

  For some people, upgrade a laptop to an SSD can be like diving into the deep end of a pool.

  An SSD upgrade may involve extensive disassembly of your laptop, depending on the model.

  Some models have hard disks that are easier to access than others.

  There are the small, but important detail involving accepting the risk of damaging your computer laptop and breach of warranty.

  You will need to decide if you want to migrate your operating system to the new SSD or perform a new installation of Windows.

  If you have already upgraded the operating system of the Windows 10 laptop, your laptop will have a digital entitlement on license of Windows servers.

  It's the new Microsoft license model that makes a continuous activation of the operating system.

  As part of the installation where you see a box to put the 25 character license activation key, there is a link below that says, I don't have a key.

  

  That's what you need to click to continue installation.

  The type of SSD that will be compatible with your laptop depends on some things.

  The first is how your laptop comes to market.

  The second is that your laptop is an entry level or a top model with advanced features.

  The third is based on these interfaces on the card system of your laptop.

  Your laptop may have only SATA ports or it may also have an m2 or a mini PCIe connector.

  Older notebooks (before 2009) will have only 2.5 possible SATA SSD products as an SSD upgrade option.

  It is also dependent on the interface this SSD on your laptop system board and the type of memory and the controller from that your laptop is compatible.

  Which can be determined in several ways.

  The easiest way I know is to take the guesswork out of the purchase of upgrade.

  Which can be done using the information for one SSD manufacturer whose reputation is based on the provision of accurate information to potential customers.

  Check online on the Web from Crucial.com website to see what they offer as guaranteed products compatible SSD for your notebook.

  With the newer models which are eventually provided with SSD, the Maintenance and Service of Guide disks for each laptop will usually specify what memory and type of SSD drive is compatible.

  The Service Guide which has this information and maintenance lies in the support for your laptop computer portal in the section user guide.

  Use the product number of your laptop + support as keywords in a Google or other search engine search for the portal.

  Memory Crucial site is a great place to find compatible SSD products for your laptop.

  http://www.crucial.com/

  Should what brand of SSD I consider? Take a look at the following article.

  Some portable model year 2015 and current high-end and ultrabooks are compatible with SSD NVMe m2.

  They are currently the fastest type of the available SSD.

  This is the, M.2 compatible computers laptops HP lists to third party sites.

  You may be one of the lucky ones who installed the SSD and boots for the installer and everything is going as planned.

  Otherwise, it may not be recognized by the installer of Windows or the BIOS.

  Often, an SSD should be prepared before use.

  Many members frustrated author here threads in the forums after having this experience.

  Hold down the Windows key and press the X key.

  Who calls on a menu.

  Choose command-line (Admin).

  Type DiskPart and press to enter.

  Who calls the DiskPart utility.

  After the SSD has been prepared and installation began, the Windows Installer will change the drive letter to C: on its own.

  In the image below, the disks 2 and 3 are Samsung m2 NVMe SSD.

  Some laptops 17 inches come with more than one disk.

  Select the disk and using the command list is very important. If not, you could erase the content and the partitions of the disk with the clean command wrong.

  If the SSD has a GPT partition and a drive letter is assigned, it will be recognized by Windows install.

  

  Once the SSD has been established, you can start at your choice of media for a clean install, cloning of the OS migration or a resumption of the plant initiated by the use of the recovery media, that you created.

  Since 2012, computers laptops were shipped with BIOS, UEFI and GPT partitioned the disk rather than the old BIOS and MBR partition style.

  This means that you are using Windows install must also be to format GPT UEFI.

  There are free utilities available, such as RUFUS, which can be used with ISO created by Media 10 Microsoft Windows creation tool to create an installer of 10 Windows USB UEFI.

  For other versions of Windows RUFUS can also be used to create the type of installer of your choice.

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

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  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.

  I always recommend a Samsung Evo 850 as best consumer SSD. I recommend you get at least a version of 250 gig and preferably a 500.

  You don't need to worry about any special BIOS settings or anything just to plug and treat it like any other hard drive. Many people resist the question and read articles that are a few years old at the time when you had to 'create' the system for one SSD. Not really need more.
