HP Envy 1540T H8: SSD upgrade hard drive

I have a 256 GB SSD installed in my office that has run out of space (12 GB remainining).  The reader is my C: drive and contains my OS and program files.    I want to buy a SSD drive more and have the following questions:

-All the SSD is compatible with my computer?

-Once I have buy a new drive, can I use the backup of C: drive I have created with EaseUS Todo backup to the format of the player and keep all my OS and program files?

I appreciate any advice you can offer and say thank you in advance.

Hello

Most of the newer SATA III SSDs should be compatible with your PC.  No matter what you tell a 2.5 SSD "?

I don't know what you did with EaseUS Todo backup, so I can't say if it will work.  In addition, I do not know if EasyUS Todo can manage Secure Boot and migration of UEFI mode.

Many SSD manufacturers have migration free software available for their products.  I use this type of the adapter SATA USB 3 , when I backup images of my starting of external storage devices (not tube) systems.

You should be able to image your SSD existing to the new SSD and the migration software should be able to make adjustments to size during the migration process. Once it is complete then the swap on the SSD for the new SSDS of greater.  You can reformat the old biggest SSD using the adapter above and reuse the SSD for something else.

  • S50 satellite - B - 15 p - it is possible to add addional SSD or HARD drive?

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop Satellite S50 - B - 15 p.
    I'm very happy with it

    My question is about its SSD drive
    It is now 128 GB.

    It is possible to add addional SSD or HDD.

    Or replace the current by the new with a higher capacity.

    My best regards

    I don't have this model of laptop, but according to some pictures I found isn't Googling around this model of laptop SSD? HARD drive covers in the lower corner, therefore, as a general rule, these updates is not supported and should not be done by the owner of the laptop.
    If you want to have full access to the SSD, you must remove the lower cover and it can be done by authorized personnel only. If you try to do it yourself you will void the warranty.

    In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or, at least, good advice what to do about it.

  • Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

    I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

    It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

    Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

    Thank you

    Enzo

    Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

    Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

    THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

    Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!

  • 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

    First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

    OK, my wind is done, for now.

    I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

    After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

    So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

    So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

    Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

    My questions are:

    1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

    2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

    I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

    Thanks in advance

  • Pavilion DV6 2155dx: upgrade HARD drive to SSD

    I want to upgrade my laptop Hp HDD to the SSD. Very successful on the 2 HP desktops. But not a great success on the laptop. Windows does not start with the installed SSD. Black screen with how to text of amendments, but no solution. Checking the BIOS it seems too basic and has no provision to select the correct setting. How can I upgrade the laptop to recognise and start of the SSD, as desktop computers.

    Problem solved. Maybe this helps someone else.

    For reference, the SSD HARD drive migration has been completed with Samsung software tools.

    Although a similar migration was very successful on 2 offices of HP prior as the PC starts fine, this time the laptop set to level did not boot from SSD.

    Based on the reviews elsewhere on the web, with the portable operating from the original HARD disk, I adjusted the BIOS boot sequence to boot from the internal CD-ROM. I was then already migrated SSD HARD drive. Then I started from a prior agreement prepared the repair Windows 7 Bootable disc - now I know why they are so very precious! - and started to repair startup disk said. After a few additional steps miners, he says the problem fixed and carried out traditional, clean startups.

    Also, I can confirm that the Pavilion DV6 works very well with a 250 GB SSD. Most good, this is a speedster. There is therefore no limitations to 160 GB the HP Document seems to suggest.

  • Upgrade hard drive HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to SSD

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 with the following product information,

    Product name: HP Pavillion Sleekbook PC 15

    Product number: C6K58EA

    Will it be possible for me to upgrade my hard drive with an SSD? If so, what are the limits of the SSD that I can use?

    Thanks in advance,

    ISURU.

    Yes. You can upgrade the hard drive to a mobile (laptop) SSD. The SSD must conform to the following specifications.

    Hard disk, without illustration material, Kit (includes hard drive support and support)
    screws, cable and 2 bumpers) HP p/n 701945-001

    If your laptop is also a present SSD 32 GB mSATA, he can line be used as a disk cache via the software Intel IRST.

    The disadvantage is that it is that it will violate the guarantee that the hard drive is not known by HP to be part replaceable enduser. Upgrading a laptop of this type implies a disassembly.

  • HP envy m6: upgrade hard drive

    Hello please my drive hard crashed that is 500GB, so I had a new hard drive of 1 TB of the same model to replace... After you install the new hard drive, I turn on the laptop it will make a sound 3 times... As bippp bippp bill and stop... But the custom of laptop screen shows nothing... Please what could be the problem?

    waxdany

    If by 'installation' the new drive, you mean that you didn't remove the old drive and replace it with the new drive, of course the laptop won't hurt, because the drive is empty.

    You need to restore your PC to factory settings in order to install the necessary things on the new disk in order for the laptop to work using HP recovery media.

    It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entry and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  • Envy dv7t-7200: SSD upgrade in 2nd slot on HP Envy dv7t-7200. Cannot find or run the Bios

    So I added recently internal a second drive in my HP Envy dv7t-7200 because she had a second slot. The first was a 1 TB HARD drive and what I added is a compatible 500 GB SSD from Crucial. At startup, the SSD was not recognized as I can't find anywhere in my computer to use. Also, I tried to go into the BIOS to see if the second part of the motherboard to the drive 2nd spot has been activated but now the computer starts too fast and I can't enter the BIOS. Given that nothing is installed on disk 2, I have no idea why the computer starts much faster. Would it be due a QuickLaunch for the BIOS update can I have recently installed? If so, how to uninstall that?

    I also wanted to just insisted on my laptop as possible and that's why I decided to upgrade, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A new empty ssd drive will not be displayed in my computer (PC), until the disk is initialized and formatted. Right-click on computer and choose manage... disk management and see if there is a new blank disc. If so create a new volume in it (partition) then format then assign a drive letter.

    You want to have the OS on the SSD and have it in the main location as only a car in this slot is bootable. You lose the speed of the SSD in the second location for pure storage. As hanging Secretariat up to a plow.

  • HP envy 17-1011nr ssd upgrade broke boot

    Has problems from the heat with my HP Envy 17-1011NR.  I replaced the thermal paste to the heatsink with Arctic Silver 5 and I got a relief of the stops that I had to follow closely to cook them.  I slowed down the clock and I was now running quite hot and rather very hot.  I was also running quite slow.  I tried a can of air compressed on the fins of the heat (sprayed into the vents) and that helped a lot (fast, cheap and efficient).  I can now run quite hot full clock speed with an occasional burst of tablets to empty the dust (it wasn't clear the dust bunnies inside but it makes a big difference).  Finally, I decided to see if I could still lower power and temperature while increasing speeds and prolongs the useful life using SSDS.

    I bought two Samsung 840 Pro 512 GB drives.  Given that HP has a distribution not supported by Samsung disk copy, I used Clonezilla instead.  I chose the advanced option to extend partitions proportionally so that the disc can be consumed without creating more partitions. The SSD was mounted via a USB adapter. With projects out me to work, I returned home tired to run the next steps in cloning and go to bed. Wake up and do a little more and finish in the next few days.  Serious mistake.

    When hard drives were copied, I shutdown and replace them with the SSD and started.  No operating system found.  Then I handed the hard drives and booted.  No operating system is found.  Never had a problem with Clonezilla before (but I was generally cool when you use).  Using the USB adapter I checked the hard drives and SSD on another system and they were very good, then the copied data and the partition table is good; I can't just start readers.  I suspect that Windows 7 is good, except to get started.  I have this whole system label and Clonezilla gave me the serial numbers that I wrote it down at the time when the readers would not mix between primary (boot) and secondary (not bootable). But of course something is not so everything is suspect until proven otherwise.

    So now I want to know what is the recommended method for moving forward, risking the least amount of content in the car.  What is the recommended sequence of tools to try and damage each will make to the contents of the disc?  I would actually get running on the SSD, but it is usually easier to solve a problem at a time.

    All HDD and SSD problems solved.  (1) removed SSD drives and reinstalled two HARD disk drives.  (2) started repair disc (DVD), I've created many many moons ago.  Removed the ERD and restarted.  HARD drive works.  (3) judgment, secondary secondary HDD and SSD.  Started and the driver has been installed automatically.  (4) stop, primary primary HDD and SSD.  Started from the new ERD.  Removed the ERD and restarted.  Œuvres of the SDS.  Now running on the the two SSD drives.

    The heat is lower, the speed is faster (boot is incredibly fast), more disk space and wait this will prolong the life of this computer by years.  Also, will not have to buy new software for a new computer for a while so the upgrade is very useful.  To give you an idea of the speed, I run treesize on drive C (151 GB used) which took about 2 minutes, but on the SSD with the same data, it took 14 seconds.  TreeSize is a tool to question the use of the disc by tree and is recommended if you want to know quickly where your disk space has gone.
