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 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.

    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:

  • Adding an SSD on my PC without having to replace the HARD drive

    Greetings!

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 180 t desktop PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do a good amount of games on my PC and a year ago I upgraded my card to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 graphics and my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W unit.  I also have a card mother mATX (9.6 "x 9.6") of PEGATRON.

    Recently, I tried adding an SSD for my machine in order to improve the performance and organisation for some PC games that I love.  I did some research on the subject and am found a bit confused on whether or not, my motherboard will be able to handle the addition of an SSD in my machine.  I have read that I need you sure that my motherboard supports natively AHCI?  How can I check to be sure that if I buy an SSD that I'll be able to integrate it into my system?

    To be clear, I want to continue to use my disk regularly to run my operating system and all the other goodies on my PC and install an SSD for store and load my music/movies/games etc.  I was watching some affordable 'mushkin' SSD that seem to do the trick.  I can give the link for more later if necessary.  Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    F10 to the HP splash screen you will get in the bios.

    AHCI is recommended for use with an SSD, but it is not necessary. Most modern SSDS are supported operation garbage collection which does almost the same thing to maintain the SSD.  Check with the manufacturer of your SSD.

    Even if the SATA controller is set to RAID and the SSD doesn't not part of an active array, topping should always work.

  • Desktop Pavilion Elite 137c: SATA Interface for adding an SSD

    How will I know what SATA (1, 2 or 3) that supports my Pavilion Elite 137c. I want to add an SSD that says he uses a SATA-3 interface.

    You are the very welcome.

    I think it'll do the trick.

    I added a 330 Intel SSD SATA III in my HP Elitebook 6930p business book, which has the Mobile Intel 4 series chipset, also SATA II controllers, and subjectively, it makes a very nice improvement upon startup and access time.

    I subjectively, because I have not run before and after calibration of performance tests.

    The mechanical hard drive was a high-end drive for laptop Western Digital 7 200 rpm, not a reader laptop slow poke 5 400 rpm.   I had no problem saying that the high-performance SSD.

    If you put any credibility in the Windows experience index scores, the mechanical hard drive had the score 5.9 max, that you can get with a mechanical hard drive and SSD hostage up to 7.6.

    1. your HP computer uses Jasmine-R motherboard (MSI MS-7778) with six 6 internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports. beautiful card mother AMD, many SATA ports. GOOD to GO.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03757575

    2. it is a MidTower case, with the hard drive mounted on a Vertical support, bottom left (view after removing the side panel). Follow the Web link below, for this how to (open side panel):
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04100666

    3. IF you want to add a second drive, in this case a 2.5 "Solid - State Drive (SSD), I see three 3 potential location.

    (A.) mounted horizontally, with support of the adapter in the box below the DVD/CD drive.

    (B) vertically, mounted on the Panel lower front of the computer case.
    A 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter support can facilitate this fixation or the player first itself (using the 4 holes tapped on bottom of SSD) IF the perforations (ventilation, fan, hard drive carrier) line up properly.

    (C.) mounted horizontally on the botton (floor) of the case. Location does not fit all applications.
    The San disk Extreme Pro SSD, I bought in 2014, has been mounting spacer/vibration rubber that could allow this type of editing with a contact adhesive. This montage approach is not appropriate in all cases.

    Selling manufacturers SSD Kits and readers Raw (desktop, laptop)- so working with your store of the local computer for sale retail (££ or €) for a proper selection.

    4. REVIEW the available power cables (SATA style) for their ability to reach these 3 mounting locations.
    Extensions are available from box Mod shops and retail stores.

  • Pavilion dv7t-3300: weird behavior after adding the SSD and RAM upgrade

    Has just added a new HD SSD to my note as "disk 1"(the former one is 'disk 0', he has a Win. " 8.1 works). Installed Win. 10 in the new drive and everything has worked well so far. I tried to upgrade the memory, so I bought two Crucial DDR3 1333 with 8 GB memory each, the previos configuration were two 2 GB memory (4 GB total).

    The question is: If you use a single memory (8 GB) everything looks Ok. If I add the other (16 GB total), the new SSD is not recognized, but the old man works as usual. The new drive is not yet recognized after botting from the former (not even from the Disk Manager). Already tried to drag the disks with no luck. There seems to be something with the memory, since everything works with a memory of 8 GB or with two 2 GB memory, but with two memoirs of 8Gb the new SSD seems to be dead

    Advice or similar experiences? Is there something that I am missing?

    So much worse... the SSD seems to be broken or something similar. Does not work on the other PC, then... I guess that this has nothing to do with the memory

    BTW, the 16 GB are works fine

  • Adding an SSD in HP Pavilion 15

    Hi all.

    Consider buying an HP Pavilion 15 (model P002EJ ) to be precise.

    It comes with i7 4510U, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD and 15.6 "screen FHD.

    I just wanted to ask: can I install an SSD in this laptop without removing the existing HARD drive?

    Just add to the laptop or to replace the optical drive with SSD drive (or most certainly move the HARD disc instead of the optical drive using a few installation SSD and HDD Caddy where the original HARD drive was) is accepted. Replace the existing HDD (out of the laptopshould be the last resort, if nothing is possible.

    Thanks much for any info and help!

    P.S. I think the manual of this product is: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03883388.pdf

    Here's the manual I found:

    This is one of those without easy access service door, requiring disassembly very extended to the memory and the hard drive. These improvements are not allowed for end users and will cancel the guarantee. I wouldn't buy thinking to upgrade. The manual that you posted shows a service door which is not actually present on the model you want.

  • HP pavilion dv6-7045ez: impossible to start SSD

    Yes, it uses the standard x standard SATA cable but short or long depends on the readiness of your machine. As mentioned above, you need a mounting bracket, something like this:

  • HP Pavilion ZD7000 hard drive expandable to SSD? Compatible?

    I'm looking to upgrade a HP Pavilion ZD7000 (P/N: DN730AV) for Windows 7 Home Premium, including equipment upgrades memory to 2 GB of storage, and I would add an SSD.

    Two questions:

    Q: a solid state drive is not compatible to this brand and model of laptop?

    Q: If so, the BIOS would require upgrading to support the SSD drive?

    Thank you!

    There are several problems with you try to run Windows 7 on this 10 year old material. The video (nVidia Geforce FX5200 GB) card will not support Aero desktop effects and is known to be buggy in Windows 7 with all the drivers from nVidia available. Second, the hard drive is EIDE, not SATA, so there is no available AHCI mode. AHCI is the only way to get excellent performance of an SSD. There are EIDE SSD. And they do not provide a performance increase, but nothing like what you get with modern machines with native SATA (AHCI) support.  It can use 2 GB of RAM which is memory DDR333. It is a single core Pentium 4 processor, and frankly, there are many cell phones on the market with as much computing power.

    128 GB PATA (EIDE) SSD for $175

    64 GB for $80

    The problem with the SSD isn't the BIOS, but the basic material. Here is the service manual you'll need if you decide to go forward. The laptop is great and pretty easy to disassemble. It could be upgraded to a 3.4 ghz Pentium 4 very easily for a little money if you have a slower processor installed. This would to some extent.

    Nope. SSD is not and does not heat up much, or not at all. Alternatively, you can paste it on the sides, but the background is most effective as far as space goes.

  • Pavilion g7 1070US: installation of new SSD

    I'm helping a friend with a HP Pavilion g7 1070US laptop. His original hard drive crashed and we bought a PNY 960 GB SSD drive to replace its old WD 500 GB. We were able to restore his old Win 7 because while trying to create a USB startup device the MS site says our OEM license. So we bought a new Win 10 license with a USB and when you try to start the message; "Core security check failed" appears, and the computer restarts then cycling in the same message. I tried to boot from another key USB and DVD ROM created by MS media creator but the same warning message appearing.

    Later we have formatted the drive outside the laptop with a SATA adapter.  Reset us the BIOS by default. The drive is recognized by the internal BIOS diagnostic and test memory was also executed.  Both pass.  However, whenever a start is attempted the system responds with a BSOD and the message; "The verification of the security kernel failure".  All the world is facing a situation difficult always. I even bought an old copy of Win 7 Home edition and the installation CD has the same problem.

    Any suggestions...

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1375ea: adding PART 3 ports for HP Pavilion.

    I plan to change the noisy (continually chirruping) 3 TB Hitachi HARD drive mounted in series in my system and install two 480/500 GB SSD - probably of Sandisk or Kingston.  One will be the master (operating system and data) the other will purely be a weekly "clone" of the master.

    The mobo in my bench is the Formosa Pegatron, which, as far as I can see, only has SATA 2 ports equipped.  For most of the speed the SSD, I need use 3 SATA 6GBs.

    Can anyone advise as to the best, reasonable price, good performance SATA 3, 4 ports (I might consider 2 port) controller card PCI-e which fits into my system.  I didn't need RAID or Duo Hyper.

    Thank you very much.

    Ken.

    Hi Ken,

    I don't know what you mean by adding 3 SATA ports.  The Formosa motherboard has six SATA ports.

    HP never acknowledged the documentation that indicates that grouped four SATA ports are 3.0 or 6.0 GB/s. However, the Z75 chipset should be able to support up to six SATA III ports.  If you have a processor of IVY bridge, then you should be able to test the port speed using a SATA III HD or SSD.
