• 15 - ak050nw, SSD SM951-NVMe: can install SSD SM951-NVMe (samsung) on HP Pavilion 15-ak050nw?

  Dear,

  Can install SSD SM951-NVMe m2 (samsung) on HP Pavilion ak050nw 15.

  I bought HP Pavilion 15-ak050nw and would like to add SSD m2 plus fast then 5xxMb/s

  Win10 will start in SSD, m2

  I think

  Disk Samsung SSD 256Go 2280, PCIe 3.0 m2 (MZVPV256HDGL-00000)

  Interface: M.2 (NGFF) PCI-Express NAND: 16nm MLC

  I have not found a clear answer on this forum

  Could you support me or send another proposal of SSD m2

  Cordially RaPa

  Not just type SATA M.2 mSSDs:

  M.2 SATA - 3 (NGFF): ● SSD 256 GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC ● SSD 128 GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC ● SSD 128 GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, value DRAM-less

  Repair manuals

  The speed of reading and writing on a SATA m2 will be right about 500 Mbps. about the same as a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

  You should be aware that many users are problems to get the system to recognize a drive m2 on laptops that don't come with a m2 of factory. HP is not give much explanation, but it seems that the m2 slot can be disabled in the BIOS:

• Recently installed SSD, the left hand (the back of the screen) HOT

  So I recently installed an SSD in the iMac.But that I do not have a temperature sensor to be installed on the SSD.

  Spec as follow

  

  Ive been doing some research online and people said to avoid this direction fan / running on Full constantly to install SSD Fan Control, which i have and the fan became silent again.

  How ever look at the screen, if I put my hand up to left (rear panel) it seems to be real hot where the inverter card is I think?

  -What is normal?

  I've included some photos of SSD Fan Control temperature readings (SSD temp must be SATA as there is no sensor on it)

  

  I can't give you a reading temp of the left rear of the screen.

  Any information that would be great.

  Very simple, you must contact OWC (www.macsales.com) by phone and ask about their temperature sensor cable. You need to then open up and install the cable. Otherwise, your computer may overheat and cook something.

• HP Compaq dc7800: can I install SSD on HP Compaq dc7800 Minitour Convertible?

  Hello

  Can I install SSD on HP Compaq dc7800 Minitour Convertible?

  Should I notice something special in this SSD buying?

  I need to by a "cage" for the SSD?

  Hello:

  A problem you will have, is that there will be no support on this model, which means that you will not be able to optimize the drive SSD TRIM.

  This is because the PC has only two parameters of the disk controller... RAID and IDE.

  Support RAID TRIM is not introduced by Intel until the 7 Series chipsets came out.

  Yours has a 3 series chipset.

  That's the only reason why I have not put an SSD in my dc7800.

  Another problem you may encounter, it's that my dc7800 rejected all the sata III drives I have installed unless it's a SATA III which came with a HP PC.

  I had to take the disk of 1 TB SATA III out of my Elite CMT 8200 and exchange with the one I bought for my dc7800 because she had the symptoms listed in this HP newsletter below...

  http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=3718645&calledBy=&AC.admitted=1379354458533.876444892.199480143&docid=emr_na-c02711513-3&docLocale=

  I first thought the WD Caviar Black drive I bought was defective and I returned it.

  When the spare drive did the same thing, I understood that there was some sort of compatibility issue and came across the above document.

  Bottom line... I didn't do it.

• Help - my ssd is missing 40 GB, after that I tried to install Bootcamp

  Here's the situation. A few weeks back, I tried to install bootcamp and windows. He is not well, but don't forget windows at the moment.

  The problem is that I have partitioned ssd in my Macbook Air, creating a new windows 40 GB in size. Win installation did not work, but now I can't retrieve the 40 GB. In fact, it is invisible. I thought I could fix it myself, I waited for this weekend when I have time. I have superdupered a copy of my ssd disk external and tried to reformat the entire ssd, intending to copy the contents of the external drive on the ssd. It did not work.

  Disk utility could not erase my ssd. The message was that there was a discrepancy with the size of the disk and who was who.

  I have no more ideas. Can anyone suggest how I can get back my missing 40 GB?

  A big thank you to all those who can help.

  If you used boot camp to partition the drive you would use to remove the windows partition. Rerun the bootcamp and choose Delete bootcamp partition.

• help install a 120 GB SSD in my Pavilion g7 2269wm

  Hello everyone, I recently bought a refurbished nine HP Pavilion g7 2269wm, 64 bit of windows 8. I bought a PNY XLR 8 SSD 120 GB SSD drive to replace the 500 GB hd.

  Before exchanging the readers, I created recovery disks, (6 dvd) and tried to use it, at first I thought that it worked, but then it would start loop, it would show the logo window 8, then restart again and again and again. so I tried another cover, this time a factory install using the same discs I did, with the same result.

  do I need to buy the hp recovery discs plant or I'm doing something wrong.

  IV orderd already drives from hp, they were pretty good markets so thought I can't fool you.

  I put the original HD in the machine, so I can use it until I get the cd

  OK guys I got it, I ended up installing the drive in a laptop toshiba basis, loading windows 7 on which then windows 8 pro that I had purchased earlier. everything was fine... Thank you

• Aurora R4: newly installed SSD running in G2 / SATA300 - how can I 'persuade' the SATA controller to run at G3 /SATA600?

  Good evening.  I was a little indecisive on the place where this post, but I think it's the right place.

  I just replaced the main drive in my Alienware Aurora R4 with a SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD... works perfectly (and quickly).  I realized a clean Windows 10 Pro (x 64), generation to level to the latest version.  I'm not using RAID.

  The SDS is properly installed and connected in the location SATA01.

  This Aurora R4 has the "Dell", well actually "Intel" Patsburg 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller (revised A7), capable of handling G3 / SATA600.  However, two DVD players work to G1 / SATA150 and all four disks are running at G2 / SATA300.

  I have the latest driver for the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology, confirming a transfer rate SATA 3 Gb/s for my SSD (and the other three HARD drives).

  How can I convince the computer I want to optimize my SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD performance, with the rate of transfer running at G3 / SATA600?

  I searched on through the value of the library of web pages, but not found a solution.  I was hoping that it would be a BIOS problem (installed last), is a question of the SATA controller firmware, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  Technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver allows no fiddling, so I drew a blank there.

  Knowledge advice would be warmly received, especially if you have a R4 Aurora that runs a G3 SSD / SATA600!

  Hi Domo_P1000,

  You can search the forums to Alienware for help with this. I found this relevant thread.

• Clean install SSD - OWC?

  I'm a late 2012 Mac mini server that I use as a desktop computer. Last week, I replaced one of the disks 1 to with an OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6 G 120 GB. OWC seems to be well-regarded and that was their player compatible with my most popular mini, I swapped the 1 TB for the SSD without problem.

  I had previously done a clean install on the disk of 1 TB of my mini and I am familiar with the creation of a Setup disk, I tried to do a clean install again on the SSD that failed (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7592029).

  Finally, I had a recovery Partition installed which took my slow rural connection of many hours, and let me go back to Mavericks, then I was an upgrade of the El Capitan 10.11.5.

  Is that the reason for the new thread, I am uncomfortable that I cannot do a clean install with this SSD and trying to determine if this is the exact model, brand or a problem with SSD in general is the problem (I even tried a second disc of this model). I even though it is possible that the 10.11.5 install was the question, but I tried installing to an SD card in my mini, which went without a hitch and I could start it.

  So, for those who have done a 'clean install' on a 3rd party SSD, they added to their machine:

  Were you able to complete the installation without error?

  Do you have what version of Mac OS X installed?

  What brand and model of the Player did you use?

  What Mac model you have?

  I am trying to root out, why it does not work and if it's just the brand / model of the disk or something more, any other idea you can offer would be helpful. I want a drive that I can do a clean install, 10.11.5 at least for the moment and I hope to new OS X that are coming (I know that no one can guarantee that).

  -Thank you

  Who say replace with the SSD? The bottom (nearest the black cover on the bottom) or the top? Some users have reported problems with an SSD in the upper Bay.

• HPE-400f: my newly installed SSD storage does not add to the top.

  It shows 176 GB free of 232 GB which is 56 GB used. When I open the player and select the file and click with the right button on properties, it appears than 43.8 GB. Where do I use the extra 12 GB for? I have hidden files and folders showing. Also, I deleted the HP RECOVERY partition and he merged the ssd partition. Somehow the score again would be on the SSD? I used the Recovery Manager to delete the partition.

  Hi there @Will007,
  
  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you have some concerns about the storage on a SSD that you have installed. I'm happy to help you.

  What is the brand and model of the SSD itself?

  Have you checked the trash?

  Please let me know.
