HP dv6 7040tx: compatibility mSATA for my laptop

Hello

is it my computer laptop support mSATA SSD? I intend to add an SSD for my laptop. I have 2 options:

1. Add an mSATA ssd

2. replace the current HDD with SSD normal and add the disk using Caddy.

I don't know if my phone is compatible mSATA SSD. Can I add it to my laptop?

The features of my computer: HP dv6 7040tx

In the user's guide, it was provided that it supports 16 GB mSATA. I don't know if I can add 250 GB mSATA.

Thank you

It supports an mSATA WSSD but not quite in the way you think. Your laptop uses the first generation of hardware using the mSATA. The mSATA was used only as a "cache" which accelerates a regular mechanical hard drive, using the Intel Rapid Storage technology. These are usually not larger than 32 gigs and when activated, create links with the mechanical drive in a RAID array type. The cache contains startup and commonly accessed files program files and speed up the process a bit. It's just not as good as a pure SSD for sustained Read and write operations. If a normal hard drive 2.5 inch is present in the main Bay SATA the WSSD cannot be the boot drive.

The configuration of your best and fastest is to place a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in the main Bay, and then if you need storage use a shopping cart of DVD player. I don't really like these arrangements and given the price that SSDS descended a little a 1 to is actually a viable option and should be all the storage that anyone really needs. What with the cloud and all. And the mSATA drives are not faster than a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

    Give me the link or something where I can download the drivers...

    Thank you

    HP does not currently have drivers for Windows 8. You probably won't need them. Windows 8 is not coming. It's here!

    Just do the installation on a spare hard drive and bring the original HARD drive to a safe place.

    . Windows 8 has drivers built in for most laptops and desktop computers. I did have to look for a driver in two facilities. One was an HP mini and the other was a Toshiba laptop.

    Hello:

    I'll make the problem to the forum administrators, who will in turn with the people responsible for maintaining the support pages.

    I get a notification for Windows 10 for your model, and I even chose base dv6z-2000 model series and didn't get any driver for W7, then something is definitely wrong.

    In the meantime, try the drivers from the dv6z-2100 that should also work for your laptop, but do not use the BIOS file.

    Hi all, there

So I want, due to problems of compatibility, re - install all software from my laptop in language (English) "original". But the CD I have with my laptop are all in Turkish.

    Is it possible to have an English XP software and Toshiba for my laptop?

    Tom is a right. You can use Microsoft Windows XP CD to install the OS and all the necessary drivers and tools you can find on the Toshiba site on English.

  • replacement screen for computer laptop dv6t - b 6, 00

    I have a computer laptop dv6t - b 6, 00, product # QJ926AV.  Maintenance and Service Guide shows two difference replacement screens, the 665334-001 Brightview display and the anti-reflective screen of 665335-001.  That it would be OK for my laptop?

    Here is the service manual that you already have:

    Manual

    See page 30. The problem is that the "anti-Glare" is a higher resolution screen and also needs different data cable from the motherboard to the screen. You can install a screen on any system dv6t - b 6, 00 but you also need the correct cable and a cable replacement makes it a little more difficult.

    The second problem is that you have a generic model number that designates a custom order machine in order to have a type of display based on the model number.

    Whenever you replace a laptop screen the ONLY way to serve to have replaced dozens or even hundreds, is to remove the Panel before you order a replacement. Buy the screen based on the manufacturer designation of screen at the rear of the Panel not the model number of the laptop. In this way: 1. you are sure to double dog of compatibility; and, 2. You can shop a variety of panels and get the best possible price.

  • The upgrade computer laptop RAM 16 GB. Is it possible for my laptop?

    Hi everyone, before forward us here are the details of my laptop,

    HP dv6 3264-ca

    AMD Triple-core 2.1 GHz processor

    6 GB OF RAM

    128 MB of video memory

    I would like to know if I install Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop, it is finally possible to upgrade my RAM 16 GB.

    I ran a check for my motherboard through CPU - z:

    Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

    Model: 143F

    Chipset: AMD 785GX

    Southbridge: SB800

    Then Yes. Is it possible for my laptop manage anything more than 8 GB or the 16 GB?

    Thank you!

    The maximum memory capacity is 8 GB. The question that you will encounter when you try to install 8 GB memory modules is that is that there is no support current BIOS for this capacity modules.

    If HP provides a BIOS updated which are supported by the modules of this ability, then installation of modules memory 8 GB won't be a problem. Until that happens, it will be a financial risk to buy the modules just to see if it will work.

  • OMEN of HP for computer laptop 15-ax006no: best way to use the battery

    Hello!

    I bought a HP OMEN for computer laptop 15-ax006no (http://store.hp.com/SwedenStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=X9Z44EA & opt = UUW & salt = NTB) earlier this week and I wonder how is best to use and to keep the battery?

    -Should I disconnect the battery when I have access to outlet?

    - Or should I fully charge and then use remove the charger and only work on battery?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Batteries and Chargers for modern laptops are now smarter than we thought. They stop to load when 100% full

    1. Should I disconnect the battery when I have access to outlet? You, the risk is down, you have no backup power supply and it can kill your machine, speciall if she had a normal HARD drive.
    2. Or should I fully charge and then use remove the charger and only work on battery? This isn't a good idea because the battery will run out and you will need to recharge which means increase in cycles and the charge battery will die earlier.

    My option: maintain the battery even when plugin

    Kind regards.

  • Re: Lack of Win7 drivers for my laptop Satellite

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite with Windows 8, but when I installed Windows 7 so I can't have a Wi - Fi.
    I went to the Manager of periferics and saw this USB bus controller and SM bus controller network controller are not installed

    I can't find them in the download page of resources for this laptop.

    Where can I find these drivers?

    Thank you

    Not all phones come pre-installed with Win8 or Win8.1 are supported for Win7. I m wondering really you did not check this until you have made the decision to remove the preinstalled OS.
    I just hope that you created the recovery DVD or USB media that you can use for the installation of original recovery image.

    I put t know what model do you have exactly, but did you check the download page for Toshiba under http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?

    I'm running Windows 8 (xp) and you plan to switch to Firefox. I would like to know what is the latest version of Firefox for my laptop?

    Do you mean IE8? Windows 8 was not released.

    You can use the latest version, Firefox 5.0.1. Look at the system requirements carefully to be sure that only what is necessary, especially the Pentium 4 processor and enough RAM since many XP systems came with only 256 MB.

  • How to create Master records for my laptop Equium A200-15i

    I recently bought a laptop Equium A200-15i. How can I create a CD/DVD Master can I use to restore my computer in the event of a major failure. I know all about the restoration of the machine of the hidden partition, but I want to get my hands on the DVD to use in case of a major failure of the system.
