  Please help me find a new SSD

  The first two will work but not the third. See the pins in three connection instead of 2? Only a third is a newer interface called mSATA M.2. Like the one on the right here. You need the type on the left.

  

• SSD for the boot, SSD, reformatting of the files needed for a normal startup of Windows 7

  I just have to use the SSD Sandisk more for the startup of Windows 7 and MSOffice programs.
  I made a mistake of a new copy on Windows 7 top loading.
  What I wanted, it was just part of Windows 7 with all current configurations and keep the data on the other hard drive.

  So what I did is to clone the old HD (which was almost full) to a larger HD, so I have a full copy, which is bootable.
  I took the old HD and removed/uninstalled all data & programs except: all files in Windows, the files MS Ofc, video card, keyboard & mouse records, Internet browsers, contact lists, etc.

  My plans were to take stripped this old HD, after defragmentation and clone through for the Sandisk SSD, so it will start quickly.

  My first concern is to clean the SSD drive that has the Windows 7 barebones.
  Can I just reformat?

  Any other considerations that I missed?

  You can re - format the disk and run clone on it, if you don't want to keep of course.

  The situation you describe seems feasible for me

• Acer R7 - 571 level disk cache to large SSD to the boot drive and keep the traditional HARD drive.

  Is it possible to replace the drive 24 GB of cache in the R7-571 with a larger SSD (say 128 GB and 256Go) to use as the startup disk and keep the traditional disc for storage on the other?

  I saw the references to individuals 'redevelopment' of SSD, but normally they keep the 24GB disk cache and upgrade their traditional 500 GB drive?
  If it is possible to replace the disk cache of 24GO, it seems silly to keep it and throw a perfectly good car. Seems would not be much point in having the disk cache if your main player is an SSD.

  Yes, I put a 128 GB Plextor M5M in my mSATA port. Make sure that you first create a USB recovery, then open the R7 and replace 24GO with your new mSATA disk drive.

  Make sure that your new mSATA, not ordinary SATA SSD!

  You can see a R7 being open and where everything is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLWdiLxLoyI

• HP ENVY 15-k009ne: replacement of SSD for ENVY 15-k009ne

  Hey there everyone.

  I would like to know if it is possible to replace the hard drive installed SSD (8 GB) on my Hp envy 15-k009ne. The problem is that he is very much in quality and appear to be limited to the default files of hp. I have a few questions:

  1. is it possible to replace? If not, is it possible to replace the other hard drive (1 TB, 5400 RPM)?

  2. What size (actual size and capacity, I mean) or number/model should I buy?

  Thank you.

  PS sorry if this is a recurring question. I must be sure before that I could buy another SSD drive which is quite expensive!

  The specifications of your laptop do not indicate that you have an SSD. You may have a hybrid drive that has a cache of flash 8 GB built-in player for faster access, but this isn't a separate volume that holds its own files, just a different part of the reader. HP sold never, to my knowledge, laptops with an 8 GB SSD. You probably also a HP recovery partition on your hard drive. According to the specifications, the hard drive only your machine is a 1 to 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive standard.

  See p. 66 of the manual here:

  Manual

  Unfortunately, access to the hard drive Bay is very difficult and forbidden to an end user. In other words, it will jeopardize the warranty. If you are past the warranty and want to remedy let us know. You can replace the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and your laptop will be much faster if you do. There is also a slot of the WSSD m2 on the laptop, to complicate things more, but use it to add a SSD and boot of it is even more difficult. Have any kind of SSD in laptop computer that is not the boot drive make not much sense. However, if you want to explore the option of WSSD m2 we are here to help.

• How to configure the virtual disk as SSD for the customer?

• Z210 CMT: The boot drive SSD - considerations?

  I am setting up a new (refurb) Z210. I want to replace the boot with an SSD drive. I have all of the HP recovery discs.

  In reading some of the posts here, I think the most important factor seems to be not to install an SSD is a more SMALLER than the current hard drive Seagate SATA, which is a unit of 250GB.

  It seems that most Z210 SSD install uses an Intel 320 or 520 series-drive.

  Are there other things I need to know about installing an SSD as a boot drive for Win7/64-bit on this machine?

  Suggestions for specific drive?

  I have a pair of 15K cheetahs connected to an LS SAS3041E for storage, so I would only use the SSD for the OS and programs not RAID.

  Hi Phil, I also have an Z210 where I installed an SSD of 520 Intel as boot drive which works a treat...

  It takes a minimum of 128 GB, if you want to use the HP system recovery discs, see here.

  You can always use HP recovery disks and restore a bigger HARD drive, then reduce the volume and make them a backup on an external disk system, then restore your backup to a smaller SSD 120 GB and then finally to increase the volume of the size of the SSD as I here.

  Probably the biggest problem for some people is the SSD tool reports on issues related to the AHCI not selected and not to achieve the performance expected, which there are question here and here.

  The Intel SSD 520 is a great player, but the 120 GB version is not as fast as the larger versions in this series. The Samsung 840 Pro versions are also designed to be very good, but I liked the longer warranty Intel

  A lot of things to read, but these referenced threads should cover most of the bases.

  See you soon.

• 2x2.5 Z1 for the swap drive hard 1x3.5

  I have a new Z1 with the 1 TB 3.5 hard drive, which seems a bit noisy for me - not strong but sometimes annoying. I think I want to swap out for 2 2.5 HDs, a 128 GB SSD for the operating system, programs, and the second a spinner of 750Go. I checked with technical support to see if I would need an adapter and told me "the workstation requires one of the following carriers supported: 671193-001 supports a 3.5-inch disk hard;" supports a 671192-001 or hard disks of 2.5 inches of tw. "This was taken directly from page 48 of the Service Guide and Maintenance Z1 HP. But I can't find the list of one of these pieces on the HP site or anywhere else. What I find is the reference to B2P96AA, which appears in many places for $79 and more. Described on page 5 of the HP downloadable booklet "develop feed you - HP Workstation accessories" as the "HP Z1 HDD carrier Kit (for 3.5-inch drive or two 2.5-inch drives."

  "Does anyone know if the B2P96AA is another part that is installed in a new Z1 configured with a 3.5" drive. »

  Both Z1 product descriptions and description of part B2P96AA clearly suggest that a Z1 should work with either a disk 3.5 "or one or two 2.5" or readers without any modifications or additional investments.

  Maintenance of workstation HP Z1 and Service of Guide, page 48...

  The workstation supports only SATA hard drives.

  The workstation requires one of the following carriers supported:

  671193 001 supports a 3.5-inch hard drive

  671192 001 supports one or two 2.5-inch hard drives

  It is not possible to combine a HDD 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch hard drive.

  No cables adapters are required for all hard disks. The necessary cables for all hard drive configurations are included in the base system and automatically "blind mate" or "direct connection" to the drive during installation.

  My advice is to open your computer and pull the existing disc holder. This reference number, it is on this carrier?  Look at the space where the existing carrier came of... are there links to two discs? Do you see a space for a second aircraft carrier in the car?

  I tried to set up a company Z1 CTO and all readers have been listed as SFF (small footprint). It seems that hard drives 2.5 "come in up to 5 different heights... 5, 7, 9.5, 12.5 and 15 millimeters.

  Call HP about the correct configuration customer support and reference numbers. Two drives 2.5 "in two carriers? or two 2.5 "slim / SFF readers in the carrier waves? or what?
