HP ZBook studio G3: additional SSD

• Add hp Zbook G3 studio additional ssd - drive surgestions

  Dear community,

  I would add an additional SSD to my Hp Zbook g3 studio. I found that the following SSD is compatible with my laptop but unfortunately it was sold for the last 2 months.

  Essential MX200 m2 Type 2280 (Single Sided) 500 GB internal SSD

  Therefore, I have a few questions about an additional SSD:

  -Is it better to add an SSD of 500 GB and the use of external storage or a 1 terabyte SSD?

  -Each SSD 2280 m2 (single Sided) is compatible with my laptop?

  - And what is someone knows an SSD alternative to the above which is compatible with my laptop?

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Greetings,

  Rick,

  The complexity of all this is the way out of hand. What you are, it is a SATA m2. I just put a disc of NVME m2 (aka PCI-e) of 512 gigabytes in my G3 Zbook (no studio). I know that your laptop is a little different, but I'm pretty sure that it's the same kind of m2 of housing and I don't know that a SATA would work. I know that it doesn't work the other way around. If the laptop is made for the m2 SATA drives only, you cannot use a PCI-e. In fact, I installed an official part of HP. The ordering process is another question, but let's say I got it, and it turns out to be a Samsung SM951:

  https://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-SM951-512GB-NVMe-MZVPV512HDGL-00000/DP/B015CWR4M2/ref=pd_lpo_147_tr_t_3?ie=UTF8 & PSC = 1 & refRID = YA2TAQZPDE3NNQCWCNSH

  I used it to replace a Samsung PM951 256 concert which is like the PCI-e m2 budget model, so I know that two of them are working.

  Look at the pictures and you can see a difference. The SATA drive has 3 pins that plug in and the PCI-e has only 2.

  The manual on page 2:

  Manual

  Specifies EITHER a SATA m2 or a PCI-e, so you can be OK, but I'll tell you a PCI - e has double or triple the speed of read/write.

  Mine supports 2 x m2 and a 2.5 inch SATA. Your accepts 2 x m2 I read the manual and what appears to be a 2.5 inch non-standard SD

  I actually still the 256 PM951 concert. We can help you find something compatible and I can tell you that the HP part was estimated at a very favourable point (about the same as the Crucial which is out of stock) If you can't stand waiting rather difficult and slow checkout process.

• HP zBook Studio G3: zBook Studio G3 - DEATH BY INTEL ME FIRMWARE UPDATE

  WARNING!

  DO NOT INSTALL THE UPDATE OF THE COMPONENT OF THE (COMPANY) INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE FIRMWARE!

  http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=8934841 & swItemId = ob_159465_1 & swEnvOid = 419...

  Component Firmware Intel management engine (ME) (American International)

  11.0.0.1194 Rev.A
  December 1, 2015

  We bought 5 of these laptops for our Engineering Department and I was against a tight schedule to get them deployed (the next day). I started working on obtaining a set of installation with the necessary software and then I just want to clone one for the other 5.

  I did a clean install of Windows 10 and installed all the drivers from the HP site. Then I ran Windows updates until everything is up-to-date. I disabled Windows Defender. Now all that remained was update the firmware BIOS, Intel ME and Thunderbolt using the downloaded utilities since the page drivers. The BIOS installed fine, but it's a really weird update process. Due to the beeps and lights blink during his work. There is no progress bar to let you know if she is doing anything. At some point, as the beeping stop but it's still really work. Then he starts and updates another part of the system and so on. Anyway, that everything worked fine. No problem with the update and Windows 10.

  So I ran the update of the Firmware of Thunderbolt and open up a command window saying that it couldn't find the controller. It looks like not there nothing after that point and just closed.

  Finally, I ran the Intel Management Engine firmware update utility. He opens a command window and says that it is loading the file and check and so on. Then he wrote the Flash file and takes a minute or two, doing so. Once it's done, the firm order window and back to business as usual... until you restart. Once you do this, the system is toast. It does not start. Black screen, fans run at high speed and the CapsLock and NumLock bulbs only 5 slow flashes indicating that there is something wrong with the motherboard. I'm starting a supported by HP chat session.

  I am told to disconnect the battery. To access the battery, you need a bit T - 8 Torx and you unscrew 11 screws to remove the grill cover and low fan (pedestal). I did that and disconnected from the battery. Reconnect after a few minutes and tried to start. Nothing, same thing. The support agent told me that a technician on site should be sent to replace the motherboard.

  While the lower lid has been opened, I noticed that there are two small LED lights near the SSD. There are supposed to be the diagnostic lights and I found an article in the service manual indicates if one of the LEDs is lit, the motherboard should be replaced. This lights a few seconds after the connection of the power supply for the laptop or by pressing the power button.

  I asked the support agent if they knew why it happened, but they did not know.

  So, I got 4 portable more to work with. I took off the dead laptop SSD and put a charge in a brand new out of the box. Started by and on the desktop Windows 10. This laptop had BIOS v1.03 on this subject so I ran the BIOS updated and rebooted. All right. At this stage I myself asked to perform other upgrades of the firmware or not. I thought that I had a 50/50 chance and I'm the kind of person that simply be whether it was a fluke or if there really was something seriously wrong with the update of the Intel ME firmware. He ran while first instead of love at first sight to date. Update Intel did ME the same thing before, opened a window to order, checked and then flashed... and after a reboot I got another laptop dead.

  At this point, I shook my head and frowned, looking at the HP logo.

  I tried calling support, but their laptop zbook/computer service has been closed from 10 is no support by phone or chat support. I have to wait until the morning to make a call in warranty for this second laptop dead.

  The Intel ME firmware update released on download of HP ZBook Studio G3 section was not compatible with these laptops and caused the laptop no longer starts. Only an exchange of motherboard could solve the problem. HP since then changed the link to the Intel ME firmware update for the appropriate softpaq.
  
  Those who had run the update of the bad firmware and their laptop brick had to call the HP technical support to schedule a replacement motherboard on the spot.

• HP Zbook Studio G3: error cd/dvd device driver missing

  Hello guys,.

  When I try to install windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit on Zbook Studio G3, I get the lack cd/dvd device driver. I tried all the possible drivers, but no luck

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  concerning

  Generally, it is an indication that the you use the Windows 7 installation media that is inserted in a USB3.0 port. Windows 7 is not supported with native support for USB3.0 and requires the installed USB 2.0 port or a USB3.0 port emulation USB 2.0. In addition, there may be issues when you try to install Windows 7 on an Intel SkyLake chipset.

  The first step would be to go through the BIOS and see if there is an option for the compatible mode or emulation for USB ports.

  Alternatively, you can contact HP to see if they have material recovery/restore for Windows 7 to your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• I can add install additional SSD on the S230U Twist HHD version?

  The price is very close to 128gSSD / 4 g/i5 and i7 / 8 g/320gHHD?
  Can I buy the latest version and install additional SSD by myself to get the best flexibility to upgrade?

  Hi, Woodennail

  Unfortunately this isn't possible without voiding the warranty. As evidenced by this page, the only parts that can be replaced by a user are the hard drive and the hard drive cover. Any other room, for example an mSATA SSD, must be installed or replaced by the staff of Lenovo.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

• Zbook Studio G3 HP: How to disable the integrated graphics card Intel and use the dedicated Nvidea graphics all the time?

  Dear all,

  I have a HP zbook studio G3 laptop. I want to go to the Nvidia graphics card permanently.  I tried to disable graphics integrated in the Device Manager, uninstall the driver and allowing even the nvidea card chart of all profiles in the parameter 3D tap in the Nvidia configuration software. Non of them seems to work as the integrated graph is always in action and simple games could not be executed. I always keep in the option to high-performance mode, and the laptop is still connected. Should I manipulate the bios setup?

  Thanks in advance,

  Bezzi

  I have the version non-studio of Zbook 15 G3 which has removable video card. I added the video card after purchase and found that it worked just right if I went into the BIOS and set it to use only the nVidia card. However, because yours is graphic switchable I don't know that you have this option. Have you looked at even the BIOS? Press ESC you turn on, then F10

• Pavilion dv6: install a bisides additional ssd HARD drive

  My PC is slow to start especially, but also in other situations. Is it possible and wil it help with an additional SSD. A hybrid disc would be a possibility?

  DV6-6b20eo is the model.

  It is an AMD processor and these models do not have a slot for card WSSD mSATA, then your only option for one SSD is to replace the internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

• Adding additional SSD for dell xps 15 with 256 GB SSD

  Hi, I just bought a dell xps 15 9550 with 6th gen i7, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB ssd. Is it possible to add an additional SSD for the location of hard disk 2.5 inches remaining. If possible do I need to buy the cable for SSD too or is that what cable already included here?

  Thanks in advance,

  There is a support and a set of rubber bumper needed to connect a disk 2.5 "hard.  In general, these are not delivered with the system unless it is controlled with a hard drive - you must remove the base of the cover to check if - some reports are that some versions can be delivered with the necessary equipment.  If not, they are likely available from spare parts from Dell and from other sources such as EBay and third Dell parts suppliers such as share - People.com.

• HP Envy 15-j030eb additional SSD

  Hello

  I have a laptop HP Envy 15 j030eb (product number: E4N79EA). I was wondering if the laptop had an additional location for one SSD (on the top of the 1 TB drive HARD is already)?

  I think remember me reading that it only supports a 24 GB SSD. Now, I do not wish to transfer my Windows installation disk, I would use it probably just to install applications or games on it.

  Could someone clear this up for me and if the laptop can indeed contain an SSD, could you let me know which models are compatible with my laptop?

  Thank you very much

  1 Yes, a cache of WSSD acceleration results in a major improvement in two things: 1. a start; and improving is like an order of magnitude... 20 seconds instead of 200 seconds; and 2. opening of the fair of used programs. Your web browser, word processing, etc. "opens". It did not help sustained Read and write operations such as video of the things edition, contributing to a full size complete with SSD.

  2. Yes, you can replace the mechanical drive with a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD. You get all the benefits of the MSSD plus best read write operations and sustained. SSD are not helpful for the game, however. The game will open and begin more quickly, but the frame will rates not go up because the game itself is not happening in space storage but in CPU and memory and video memory, that none will affect the SSD much. If you change a lot of photos or videos or something similar (ie the actual work of the computer), which involves a lot of reading and writing to the hard drive, an SSD will open a whole new world for you. I'll never get another laptop or any other computer with a mechanical hard drive. The cost of an SSD was almost a dollar concert 18 months ago and now it's more at 55 or 60 cents per concert or even a little less. You need at least a gig SSD 240. Do not opt for something smaller.

• propeller: additional ssd instead wwan

  I think to replace T420 with propeller. My only concern is that I must have at least 500 GB hard drive size.

  Does anyone know is it possible to replace the card WWAN Helix with additional msata SSD.

  Thanks in advance!

  Maintenance of equipment of Helix ==> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=UM017304 manual

  The WWAN card does not seem to use an interface mPCIe, rather, using a connector Ribbon in a way any. See PDF page 65 (manual page 59). It is not soldered to the system board.

  Replacing the existing mSATA SSD seems to be the only way to increase the capacity built once disks > 256Go are readily available, as long as there is no standard on the interface of the propeller.

• I need help opening Aspire R13 (R7 - 371T) to add additional SSD card.

  How to open the bottom of the R13? I can't find any information on this anywhere. I tried it myself. With Acer, I confirmed that there are altogether 12 screws I could locate and remove. However, I tried to lift the cover and then remove without success. It comes off almost halfway in the middle of the longer sides of the top and bottom but everything seems still as if I'm going to break the plastic if I dig everything more difficult. Acer support just tells me to keep searching around the top until it comes off and when I tell it like it will break they default and say to take it to a technician. Help, please.

  PS My apologies if you've already seen this question posted as a response to this post upgrade 1 TB SSD.

  fat_owen,

  There are no screws should be removed to remove this piece of hinge. You don't have to remove the keyboard or screen to access the internal components of the system. Once the hinge is removed, there are 12 tiny screws that need to be deleted to remove the tiny itself.

  Hello.

  I have my laptop new HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) yesterday itself. He already have writer BRD. Can I replace my BRD burner with extra HD SSD? If yes what is the procedure for that?

  You can, but you shouldn't. The port for the optical drive is a SATA-I have the interface. Slower than the port for HDD/SSD. So if you want to just add storage put a regular mechanical training in an optical drive adapter. Also any drive in the optical drive adapter will not be bootable. This will help you:
