HP Pavilion SE (Cooper): upgrade to SSD for Pavilion (dv6885se)

Hi all

I was wondering if I can possibly replace my current HARD drive to the SDS. If Yes, what is the maximum size that I can buy?

As for the operating system, I intend to upgrade to Windows 7.

Comments and recommendations are highly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

    I backed up my current HARD drive for Time Machine on a G-Drive external hard drive.  Can I restore my backup for the SSD of Time Machine, or are there additional steps?

    Thank you in advance.

    Any SSD with a box 2.5 "will be compatible with your MBP.  I recommend OWC SSD or critical based on my experience and other participants of CSA veterans.

    Installing the SSD is the same as for a traditional HARD drive.  Watch this video:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_early11_hd/

    You must format the SSD in Mac OS extended (journaled) disk utility.  You can use Time Machine to restore your data on the SSD.

  • Upgrade to SSD for HP ENVY 15 t-k000

    I'm looking to upgrade the standard hard drive Toshiba MQ01ABD100 with a Samsung 840 Evo 1 TB (1 TB 5400 rpm). When you watch videos to see how to replace, (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04330942 video shows that the hard drive is connected to the motherboard with a connector zif to adapter sata.) My question is can I unplug the old hard drive adapter and plug it into my ssd for sata 3 speed or I have to do something else being the standard disc sata hard 2. What choices do I have if I do something else?

    Hello

    SATA III is backward compatible with SATA II. I think that your machine uses SATA III. You can check yourself by using the following small program:

    (Check out, to the title of the disk controller, SATA III is 6 GB/s)

  • Pavilion dv6t-7000 QE: upgrade factory ssd for the four edition dv6t-7000

    I have a laptop DV6T - 7000 CTO Quad Edition, 64-bit Windows 7, I had configured with a 160 GB SSD from the factory.  It works great, very fast, but I want to move to a larger ssd. In looking at a crucial or sandisk pro now, 480 GB or more.

    My question: if I use the cloning software that will copy everything to the new ssd, included windows operating system?

    I really want to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system that I don't see the need for it. Most likely I will modernize in any case next year to win 10, or whatever they called.

    Somehow this update seems easy enough to do, but I want to anticipate any potential isses before we start.

    What do you think? This who should I look for? If there is a problem, can I pop just my current ssd right in?

    Thank you

    Yes he clones above. Choose a proportional resizing of partitions. And Yes, if the clone does not work, you can always pop concert the 160 original. I use Acronis True Image Home 2014 for cloning and it works fine. Some versions of the Samsung 840 and 850 equipped with a migration kit which has the SATA Adapter USB and a CD containing software for disk cloning.

    You can also buy a separate kit:

  • Upgrade to SSD (for OS) T430i

    Hello!

    I read a lot of discussion about adding an SSD to a ThinkPad, and now I intend to do the same thing.

    My only problem is that almost everyone recommend to replace the disc main HARD (containing the preinstalled operating system and recovery partition) with the SSD (of course in this case, the main HARD disk goes to a Ultrabay HDD caddy).

    But I don't see any serious reasons to do this, except loss of flexibility of the Ultrabay.

    It's not much easier to place the SSD drive in the Ultrabay caddy, which has no moving parts, so the lack of rubber rails won't matter? Then, I simply change the boot order to boot from SSD.

    The question in this case, is the my bad idea (mentioned above)? So OK, I'm not an optical device, but I have an external DVD-rom, so this isn't a real problem. Are other disadvantages?

    Thanks for your response!

    Both methods work very well. It's actually a little easier to use Ultrabay for the SSD because many of the new computers mobile readers use 7mm and 7mm SSD are not as common. The downside is that you will not be able to eject your disc of data and move it to use elsewhere... But yes, in both directions. I tried both and there is no problem.

  • Portégé R600-102: what SSD for upgrade?

    Hello everyone.

    I want to upgrade my SSD the real 128 GB to a bigger: what are the specifications for the new SSD to work? Should what interface have? What physical dimensions?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    TIA,
    Flavio.

    Hello

    I guess that the SSD upgrade is the same as the upgrade of the HARD drive.
    The laptop support SATA controller, you will need a SATA SSD.
    The old drive SSD is 9.5 mm in height the new SSD drive should support the same height.

    Given that the SATA controller is not limited to any size, it should be possible to use the SSD drives more of 128 GB but there is still a matter of BIOS support.

    Unfortunately, it s unclear to me if the BIOS would support more large SSD drives, but generally this should be supported.

  • Add the SSD for HP Pavilion desktop computer

    Hello

    I would like to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office). I do not want to replace the existing drive, I would add a second drive.

    I have already noticed a free sata connection and a free power cable, but I didn't notice a physical position for the support and the screws etc...

    Does anyone know if there is a manual that describes the physical position for a 2nd drive in HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office)?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    Look at the picture below and see if your model is configured for one SSD installation.

    I see that your particular model is native/sold to the Netherlands.  There is a forum member that frequents this forum who lives in the Netherlands. Hmmmm that's a good guy!

  • Pavilion DV6 3000 Entertainmet: Need help to install an SSD for my laptop

    Hello everyone, I want to get a SSD for my notebook to use as first HDD and system C, so I can have a better communication and speed faster for the system (like rendering, export audio & video).
    I can do in my HP Pavilion DV6 3000 entertainment? What type of SSD can adapt to the system?
    Running on Windows 10 (recently updated), Intel i5 M520 @2.4 GHz, Ati Radeon 1 Gb HD, 4 GB DDR3 Ram... HARD DRIVE 320 GB

    I don't want to talk negatively about a manufacturer's product, but it is a fact that we saw a few compatibility issues raised here on the Forum about an old series of SSD Crucial, the MX which is not what you're asking about. I have used other than the MX series Crucial SSD successfully, but they are not my first choice. Crucial is a very reputable company and will remain fully behind their product. If they say it is compatible you aren't risking anything to try it.

  • can I add a disc ssd for my Pavilion m7-1015dx

    What should I do to add an SSD for my HP Pavillion M7-1015dx currently on windows 7 64 bit, but intend to upgrade to 8 64-bit windows

    Hello

    Yes, you can add it. A 160 GB ssd is listed as compatible, but I think that the ability is not limited.

    What I did when I replaced my hard drive with an ssd has been to perform a new installation of Windows (same version) using the product number (do not register Windows online!) at the bottom of the laptop. Then I waited a message to record the OS and saved on the phone. Maybe a recovery reduced image created in the HP Recovery Manager can restore the system of origin on an SSD. These are usually smaller than the original hard drives and the recovery process ends with an error with the original image recovery disks.

    Edit: you will need a support (in case you want to keep the old hdd in the secondary hard drive Bay) etc so the right part number is: 681976-001. Run the part number on google or ebay to get it.

  • Upgrade SSD for Dell XPS 15 9550

    Hello

    I have Dell XPS 9550 with configuration 32 GB SSD + 500 GB HARD disk. I want to upgrade SSD for more space avaliablity.

    But I don't know what type of SSD, I'll need to buy. Also, I read XPS 15 to repair. There are two chapter for the removal and replacement of the SSD in the maintenance manual. First chapter of half-length SSD, second chapter SSD full length.

    What type of SSD is mounted in my laptop? Half or full length?

    How can I identify necessary SSD for me in stores (dimensions, label, etc.)?

    What interface for SSD do I need?  PCIE or SATA?

    What is the map? M2.2280 or PCI-E AIC (-expansion card)?

    Thanks in advance!

    These are all numbers of Dell and descriptions.

    The system uses a PCIe (or is if you want a faster player), 2280 m2 or small size.  UNLESS you buy directly from Dell, it is best NOT to buy versions OEM of SSD (Samsung end pieces in a '1' vs '0' for details).

    OEM spare parts are usually not compatible to end-users by the manufacturer.

    Because you will probably install the operating system for the new SSD, don't forget to make a recovery media set, you need to load the operating system on the larger capacity disk - what you have now is just a cache for the main hard drive.

  • HP Paviliondv2000: Y at - it an upgrade sound card for hp Pavilion laptop?

    I am record an audiobook, but have problems with her e so much, advises him to check if there was an upgrade sound card for my laptop. I'm a complete beginner, any help would be appreciated in simple language.

    No, there is no way to upgrade the on-board his, it is soldered to the motherboard, but they do not have some cards usb sound pretty good.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Sabrent-virtual-external-surround-USB-AUDD/DP/B00D69U1B0/ref=zg_bs_3015427011_3

    It's a good deal and they go up from there. USB sound cards do not receive electronic interference a lot as the one inside the chassis.

    In fact, I have a collection of these because I used to do some recording and edition of the work. I stopped using them because the cards his edge in laptops and desktop computers got very good these days.

    If the problem is currently recording using an external microphone or tries to use the built-in function? For any serious recording, you will need to get a decent helmet.

  • What is a good size SSD for Macbook with Bootcamp?

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch, mid 2012 version.

    I think about upgrading the SSD HARD drive, but what would be a better option?

    • SSD 256 GB
    • SSD 512 GB

    General information:

    I use my laptop for school work so I need to partition my laptop for Windows as well.

    I have an external hard drive and the USB for storage purposes, but I'm going to need to download apps from the school.

    Minimum requirements:

    • At least 90 GB of free hard drive such that it requires for installation of Windows on Boot Camp
    • HARD DRIVE 250 GB

    Reason why I am upgrading to SSD is for my laptop be quick. Right now, need me at LEAST a minute to start my laptop and most of the time, I have to wait 30 seconds for my laptop to open an app to buy a mac because his young, but now my friends colleagues Windows user starts their laptop in 3 seconds.

    Given the rapid decline of the SSD price, I suggest to get the largest SSD drive you can afford because you don't know how your Windows installation will grow especially if your schoolwork is Windows-based.

    But you can also consider that an alternative to Boot Camp creates a Windows virtual machine in VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtual Box. He doesn't have to take as much space, can be saved and can be run at the same time as Mac OS rather than to place it.
