HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me: adding an SSD (SATA III) for HP Elite desktop computer. Is this possible?

Dear Experts...

I want to upgrade my computer by adding an SSD as a master drive and move the original 2 TB drive to be a slave.

I found several coices of SSDS, but almost all of them are SATA III interface.

Is my office supports this interface? as it is just written that it has a SATA interface without specifying what version of SATA!

How many hard drives could this office holds? I already have two (the original 2 TB and my old drive 256 GB) and I wand to add a SSD for Windows and the progs.

Can I purchase this SSD for example? Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5 inch SATA III single-unit Version internal Solid State...

It is the official my desktop HP specifications page .

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello

It has 2 bays free HARD disk as on its specifications:

You can trade SSDS on your machine and make the old HDD as a secondary drive ("slave"). SATA III is backwards compatible so you can use it. Since then have been smaller SSD (normally 2.5 "), something that is similar to one of the following media:

  • HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl: support SSD SATA III?

    Hello

    I think about adding a 2nd. hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl.

    The current drive of 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be the 2nd. drive and a new SSD will be 1. drive (System and boot).

    I was looking for this information, but I couldn't find the answer. My doubts are:

    1. the dv7 - 4083 cl does support SATA III? If I install a SATA III disc, will it work to its full potential, or as a SATA II drive? In other words, can I buy a SSD SATA II drive cheaper because I wouldn't have the performance of a most recent hard drive SSD SATA III?

    2. a 256 GB SSD support this machine? Or is it just up to 160 GB?

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    You know the chipset specifications to determine what version of your laptop SATA drive will manage transfer speeds to.

    Your laptop computer has a chipset Mobile Intel series 5 (HM55) who can run that hard disks to the SATA II transfer speed.

    Not until you get to new Intel 6 Series chipsets and can they run SATA III drives to SATA III speed.

    Here is the link to the plug on the chipset of your notebook.  Note the SATA 3.0 GB/S specifications.

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-HM55.html

    Since your laptop comes standard with a 500 GB HARD drive, I imagine a 250 GB SSD should work fine.

    However, the recovery disks may not work on a smaller hard drive.

    HP Pavilion DV7-4080US, Windows 7, 64-bit

    I want to replace the existing 500 GB "d" (5400 RPM) drive with an OCZ 240 GB drive SSD SATA III and must make sure that this laptop will support a SATA III SSD drive?

    I am not concerned about the start time that you want to use the SSD for video editing, so I don't anticipate using the SSD instead of the c"" drive.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Well, this will speed up the startup time of your machine a lot but for editing video may not help much. In any case the SATA III (or 3) is backward compatible with SATA II (or 2) and SATA I (or 1). You're probably on the price/cost. A little program called PC Wizard will tell you the speed of the disk on your computer controller:

  • Satellite R830 - support Sata III for SSD drives

    Hello

    Why Toshiba Satellite R830 does not support Sata III, although the plug to motherboard. indicate that it is possible?

    So you can not significantly increase the performance of your laptop by replacing the HARD drive with disk SSD Sata III. Is it possible to activate the Sata III (6 Mbps) on R830?

    All the system settings? It's also kind of bios update request necessary support SSD and SATA III...

    Any help is appreciated! :)

    > It shows that SATA III is supported, but when you install the SSD SATA III disc it does not work with higher speeds to ~ 250 MB/s (cases Crucial M4).

    From my own experience many SSD readers need a updated firmware that is provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

    But readers in the R830 SSD seems to support these specifications:
    Host interface: Max 300 MB/s
    Reading data supported: Max 250 MB/s
    Writing data supported: Max 160 MB/s

    By the way: the R830 supports a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset and the chipset supports the storage interface high speed supports up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to 6 SATA ports, 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports support 6 Gb/s transfer rate.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea - SSD SATA III HARD disk? & HARD drive space gone?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea. It works fairly well, but I think I have an SSD would really speed up the loading of programs and start etc. I'm not so sure that the upgrade. I read on a thread if I had Port SATA 1 6 Gbps Supported or SATA Port 0 6 Gbps then my cell phone was good for SATA III. Is this the case? Joined a program hwinfo32 image, can you check if my phone would support SATA III?

    The other issue is my HD. My laptop says I have 750GB HD coming to about 700 GB after formatting. But my laptop seems to have only a total of 350 GB with all sectors added together. Where is the space?

    Hello

    Yes, your laptop has 2 ports SATA 6 GB/s (SATA III) most likely the hard drive and an optical drive are connected on it. There are also 2 SATA 3Gbps ports but not in use, I guess.

    The other issue is that there are 4 partitions but the partition 0 is strange and shouldn't be there. There should be a small boot for Windows partition (for BitLocker etc.), drive C: with Windows, D: drive with a partition recovery and partition Tools HP QuickWeb and some diagnostic utilities. It seems that the recovery partition is missing, the C: drive has been decreased and then created a small partition at the beginning of the hard disk. Take a look at disk management in administrative tools in the control panel this partitioning is on the hard drive.

  • support dv6t-1200 ssd sata III

    I have a CTO dv6t 1200, and I would like to replace the hard drive with a disc SSD 830 TeamViewer.  The dv6 shows a motherboard Quanta 3627 18.42 and I would like to know if it supports SATA III my S/N is CNF9407X3H part number fv161av.  I am running Windows 7. My understanding is that SATA III will perform much better than the SATA II and because the SSD is $ 300, if I can't get the performance I would consider a laptop set to level.

    I bought and installed the 256 GB samsung 830 drive and it works fine. I still don't know if I get SATA II or SATA III speeds but is much faster, so it is what it is.

  • No Audio for 5 new desktop computer HP Elite 7300

    Dear all,

    I just bought five new HP Elite 7300 desktop computer for our office. They come with Windows 7 Professional x 64.

    My problem is that the audio on each of them does not work. I hear no sound coming out of the computer.

    Audio is ok if I use headphones or external speakers.

    I tried to update the driver, downgrade the driver, use the audio trubleshoot of windows, but nothing works.

    Any idea to help me?

    Thank you

    Giovanni

    Hello

    You hear the "beep" and "beep"? If so then that all, no other sound. Not based on the following information, they have no speakers, only so if you want to sound (to listen to the music...) you have to plug in external speakers.

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/14106_emea/14106_emea.PDF

    I think that almost all Affairs tower PC (including other providers) don't have built-in speakers.

  • HP Pavilion P6 2317 c: adding an SSD in Hp P6 - 2317c

    Hi guys,.

    recently, I was looking to add more space to my computer. I was annoyed to know that the size of my computer prohibits any disk hard extra addons!  

    BUT, I was wondering IF I could hold in a SSD? It would be a great advantage!

    Thanks for your comments!

    Yes. You can add a SSD.

    There should be enough space to adapt and SSD drive.

    I recommend that get you one that is at least 160 GB and install the operating system to him, so it can be used as your boot drive.

    You can put the 1 TB hard drive to the original address in a box external usb and use the Bay he previously held as a new home for the SSD.

    The performance increase you will have when the SSD is the boot drive is something that must be experienced. It's pretty impressive.

  • HP Pavilion Elite m9500: what is this mysterious grey thread?

    Howdy!

    So it's kind of embarassaing, but some time ago, my graphics card died and in my quest to replace, I accidentally broke my dektop off top cover (which, of course, you aren't supposed to do. I didn't know at the time where I could just slide the side panel). In doing so, I tore a small gray wire. I have the sinking suspicion that the son may have something to do with my network wireless adapter antenna, especially since now my poor dekstop can't find wireless networks.

    If anyone has any idea if that thread is part of the adapter? It hangs around in a box of fly in the upper right of the machine (at the top right when you have removed the side panel and interested in the computer laid flat on the ground) and unfortunately, don't you know? This box is the only element not considered by the service and upgrade to the HP Web site guide. So I don't know yet what this box is for / contains and how to remove it safely if I can try to understand if there is a way to remove and re - solder the wire.

    Any idea, that all would be much appreciated!

    Hello

    It seems that HP has omitted documentation on the models of m95xx showing what lies under the top cover.

    Since you said that your wireless network is more work then I suspect that the gray wire is supposed to be attached to one of the antenna, editing posts which is located under the top cover. Similar models have two silver L shaped brackets under the top cover. Everyone must have a wire attached to it.  The pictures below should be similar for your PC.

    If the above does not match that of your PC, then the two sons of the wireless module will rise permanently on the underside of the top cover (buffer technology). In this case, you would very carefully, remove the top cover and find where the gray wire connects. You may have to connect return wire.

  • Range of computers HP Pavilion 500: cannot make a recovery disk usb on my new hp desktop computer

    HI, I bought a Hp desktop computer yesterday in a store in Alberta.  Yesterday after I bought the computer told me the person in the store to do a recovery with a 32 GB USB disk.  So today, I tried several times to go to the app to create recovery disk provided with this hp desktop computer.  When the application starts it says please wait while a blue bar across a white bar.  So the next thing coming back, he says put your USB drive in and the box has a check in there to copy the recovery partition and it also says to ensure that your USB has 16 GB of storage to the partion.  Then under this window, the next wiich button is greyed or I can not click on this button.   The Cancel button witch. I can click.

    What I would like to now that's what I can do to fix this and make me a recovery drive because nobody gave me a recovery cd to go wth this computer.

    Thanks for your help is always appreciated.

    some details that might be useful:

    8.1 Windows 64-bit operating system

    Equip the USB key before you run the utility to create recovery media and try again.

    If the USB is not recognized as a removable disk, then it won't work. The fact that the next button is gray tells me that it is likely that you need to try a diferent of the flash player brand.

    There are a number of brands known not to work with the utility. Unfortunately, the most common Sandisk brand, is one of them.   Transcend flash brand work readers
