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...

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.

    Hello:

    The E8500 must have worked.

    I suggest that you update the BIOS to the latest version.

    Since you are using W8.1, you will have to flash the BIOS using the method based on the BACK.

    Not only run Windows based BIOS flash.

    Before update you the BIOS, remove all that that can be connected to the PC, except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

    There is a flash ROM control system contained in the file menu in the BIOS.

    You will need to format a Flash DRIVE with the FAT32 file system.

    Download and run the BIOS to support dc7800 page was last updated.

    An information page will open and show you the different methods to Flash the BIOS.

    What you want to do is to use the instructions F10 Setup of the BIOS flashing .

    This article, you click on the blue link BACK Flash directory and this will bring you to the bottom of the page to another blue link that is labeled View of BACK Flash content folder.

    Copy the contents (files) in the folder flash BACK to your USB.

    Plug the USB key into one of the front USB ports.

    Restart the computer and press the F10 key to enter the BIOS.

    Select the file Menu.  Then in this menu, there is a Flash ROM of system command.

    What to choose, and then select USB and PC should see the files on your USB flash BIOS.

    Follow the instructions to update the BIOS.

  • 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:

  • Can I install Ubuntu in the U940-sp4103gl Satellite SSD?

    Please help me as soon as possible.
    Here are my questions:
    Can I install ubuntu in the ssd from Toshiba u940-sp4103gl?

    How to do this?

    It's urgent, I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

    I put t see no reason why you shouldn't be able to install Linux.
    You would need to make some change in the BIOS of the U940 satellite.
    (1) disable secure boot
    (2) pass the CSM UEFI

    Now all that, you should be able to boot from the disk or USB memory stick.

  • can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

    I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

    (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

    2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

    My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

    Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    3rd generation Intel Core i7-4960 X processor

    4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

    Hello

    Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

    1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
    2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
    3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
    4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
    5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
    6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
    7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

    The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.

  • I can't install mSATA SSD?

    HP Envy 15z-Q300 (L6E56AAR)

    AMD model No., you can not install a WSSD. The answer on Intel models depends on the specific model. Many cannot use a WSSD as boot drive, but some can.

  • ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO: can I install an mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC?

    Can I install an mSATA ssd in my PC HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook? Added a SDS SATA 250 GB and 8 GB memory chip today but don't can find any way to add also a 250 GB mSATA SDS. I looked on the side in front and back of the system board.

    I would return the mSATA EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I bought from Newegg?

    The repair is no help whatsoever. It is said a WSSD m2 is supported 'model', but there is no picture of it in the manual or the indication when it is on the models 'select '. Those who have it use a version of m2 (connector three blades 2 not) so your Evo 840 would not work even if you had one of the models 'select '. I think that on those who have it that the port m2 is located on the motherboard so if you don't see it you are not among the selection.

    Microsoft has a tool that is similar to Windows 7 Windows 8 called Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant Adviser. Please download the wizard and run it on your computer:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-8/upgrade-to-Windows-8

    Please check the report and decide. To be honest, I would not upgrade the machine, it will cost more to buy a new machine (sheet even better) with Windows 8 (or 8.1) installed and that you will give peace of mind.
