How to add SSD for Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor)

Hi-

I want to add a SSD for my Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor) boot drive while maintaining the HARD disk it came with and the player optical slimline. There is a SATA port on the motherboard, but there is no open Bay and not a lot of room in the chassis (I do not see a power open cable).

Anyone know how or if I can add a SSD to 2.5 inches to this machine? Would need a power splitter? And it's even bothered to improve an Optiplex 755-10 Windows?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Adding a drive in the optical Bay is possible.  But you cannot run without the original hard disk on the desktop SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

You will get an error message on the thermal characteristics of the drive.

SSD on SFF and USFF support have a problem due to heat dissipation.  The hard drive if not acknowledged will give an error, press F1 to continue.

BIOS errors are;
1 attention! Rear fan failure
2 attention! Ambient temperature sensor not detected
3 drive HARD replacement is not valid, continued use can result in
long term reliability HDD delivers, please press f1 if you would
like continue, and/or contact dell for a replacement HARD drive

Strike F1 to continue F2 to run the Setup program, F5 to run onboard diagnostics

    I have a HP Compaq 6300 Small Form Factor in which I just replaced the motherboad. It works very well. I can start on a USB bootable and (1) start a Windows 8 or a clean installation of Windows 10. I can (2). boot from a USB drive capable of Linux Mint 17.3 Startup and load that OS fine. When I try the installation of any of the aforementioned OSs (Windows 8/10-Linux Mint 17) they all will get an error of memory or hard drive and the installation at the beginning of the installation to fail. I tried this on two SSD drives and two HDs standard. I am at a loss on what to try next. Any help would be great. Thank you. -Matt

  • M800: How to add SSD (for an existing HARD disk)

    Hello

    I currently have an old Thinkpad T400 having an SSD inside. The SSD has been installed there maybe 2 years ago, but now I'm upgrading to a desktop M800. I ordered the M800 with cheaper hard drive with the plan to migrate my current SSD in it. But I was wondering if there is a procedure that I follow for what happens once the hard drive is physically installed. Is there a document somewhere online or an easy way for all it? Or is it more like a recovery by using the tool of Windows Media and then comes the installation of Windows on the SSD and then go online and start to download drivers one by one?

    Thank you

    You order your M800 Office with the 2nd disc vacuum hook pre-installed blue plastic?  If so, you just take your SSD 2.5 "of the T400 and wrap clamp empty blue plastic delivered by the M800 around it and put back the final cut in the 2nd cage of readers of the M800.  Now, he is physically installed.

    Then, since the two physical disks are now available at the same time and the M800 with HARD drive spinner delivered will be Win7/Win10 pre-installed on the HARD drive cone, you can simply use Macrium reflect free (or similar product) installed in operational windows from the spinner of HARD drive to clone windows delivered pre-installed HARD drive spinner on to the SSD.

    Then re - start and stop to enter the configuration of the BIOS of the M800 utility and change the start-up boot sequence to display the SSD as the first drive hard (you can exclude the spinner of the disk in the list, since you are not going to use it to start again).  Save and exit the BIOS Setup utility and re-boot, which should take place now of the SSD (running the provided Lenovo delivered Windows that you just cloned from the spinner of the HDD to the SSD).

    You should now be initialized and operational of the SSD, and you can confirm that the SSD should be C and other partitions (on the spinner HDD) D and higher.

    Now, you can use Partition Wizard free to remove all partitions on the HARD drive, to re-purpose spinner it as a 2nd disc of 'data '.  You can also then Partition Wizard allows you to create new partitions on the HARD drive cone that you can use for anything you want (for example to perform backups regular image/data from SSD to target folders on the spinner HDD backup).

    There is really no reason to "start from scratch" installation of Windows on a target freshly wiping SSD and then having to download/install all drivers provided by Lenovo and software for the M800.  Why waste your time?  Just clone the delivered spinner of the disk HARD Windows through to the SSD, delete the contents of the Pan from HARD drive, create 'data' or the partitions on the HARD drive cone and use it.

    You now have a work M800 2 discs (with additional 'data' or the partitions on spinner SSD or HARD drive).

    As you probably know, there are some Windows features (for example "weekly defrag") that should NOT be run on an SSD, even if they are enabled by default on a Windows HARD drive spinner.  If you install Windows from scratch on an SSD, these would have been auto-optimisé to you by the Windows Installer, but this is not how you got here (since you used the spinner provided by Lenovo Windows disk cloning).  So when you clone HARD drive spinner Windows more SSD you must then manually "twist" a few things in Windows to optimize performance specially for SSDS.

    Just a quick search online for "optimize Windows for SSD" will give you the standard set of tweaking recommendations accepted.  There will be differing opinions, but the important thing here is that your cloned windows now running on the SSD was initially installed on HARD drive spinner, no SSD, so automatically installed SSD optimizations were not initially defined.

  • Dell OptiPlex 760 ultra small form factor possible to add ddr3 ram?

    Hello world

    I have an old OptiPlex 760 ultra small form factor, and I just installed 10 windows, which runs most of the time without a hitch.

    This OptiPlex 760 has a processor Intel Core Duo E8600 in there. I've been googling and if I understand correctly, this processor supports ddr2 and ddr3 ram. Does this mean that I can put ddr3 ram in this machine?

    I also wonder if I add more than 4 GB of ram to it. I know officially it says max ram supported is 4 GB, but if I look at my MacBook it says max supported ram is 8 GB and I have 16 GB in it.

    So I wonder if this is the case even with my OptiPlex.

    Thank you.

    I put ddr3 ram in this machine?

    It depends on the chipset and since Crucial offers only DDR2 RAM for this system...

    It may or may not work with more than 4 GB. Look so all about these forums to see if anyone succeeded with more than 4 GB. At the very least, buy it from a source so it takes 8 GB does not work.

    And do not compare apples and...

    I went with a Display Port-HDMI adapter and it worked perfectly. As soon as I plugged both monitors, the computer read and gave me access dual monitor without having me to do anything.

  • 8200 elite Small Form Factor: can I add a graphics card in my computer?

    So I have a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor and I was wondering if you can add a dedicated graphics card. If so, what are compatible?

    Video cards that will be compatible must be discreet and very low power 16 x PCIe video cards.  Low power generally assimilated to the discreet with less than 1 GB of video memory video card. Use these criteria when searching for candidate upgrade video cards.

    The following video cards have been listed as optional and is compatible with your HP SFF PC desktop computer.

    graphics card nVidia Quadro NVS295 PCIe x 16, 256 MB 641462-001

    graphics card from nVidia Quadro NVS300 PCIe x 16, 512 MB 632486-001

    Graphics ATI Radeon HD6350 PCIe x 16 512 MB 637995-001

    Graphics ATI Radeon HD6450 PCIe x 16 512 MB 637996-001

    AMD over-pants 2270 PCIe x 16 graphics card, 512 MB

    Upgrading the PSU to what would be needed for a video game level card is not sustainable for a Mini PC like yours.

  • Affordable graphics for dc 5800 sff small form factor?

    My PC is dc 5800 sff small footprint with Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz, 4 GB of RAM. Now it runs with Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 256 MB. I find it difficult to play games (like Pro Evolution Soccer 2015) in full resolution. I'm doing research on many types of video cards, but it seems impossible because of their diversity. Affordable graphics for dc 5800 sff small form factor?

    I've seen a few posts on the forum that says HD 6450 1 GB HP is correct; However, I would like to make 'extra' room 1 GB for the future. And I had Msi Hd 6450 2 GB and Asus Gt 630 2 Gb(GT630-SL-2GD3-L) on the spirit, but do not know if it will market voluntarily on my PC.

    Can you help me and suggestions are appreciated?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Food's owner, which means that you can use only one.

    This means that you need to customize a graphics card to work with the existing configuration.

    The GT 610 or HD 6450 should work within the limits of the 240W power that has your PC.

    Each card must be much better than the card integrated Intel.

    Actually, that's exactly what you should do, you don't need to create

    After you have edited the original and create a new static PDF, open the old

    those in the old file. This will keep all the form fields in tact.
