Inspiron 15 7559 - upgrade SSD

Hello world

I recently bought the 7559 Inspiron, 16 GB RAM, UHD/touch screen, 4 GB NVidia, 1 TB HDD and 128 GB of SSD. I already traded on the HARD drive for a 1 to Samsung 850 Pro SSD. I am now considering permutation of the SSD 128 GB for an equivalent of 512 GB. I am aware of which can cause me problems with cloning as the 128 GB is the C: drive, but my question is SATA and PCIe.

The current SSD is a CM871 M.2 2280 128 GB Samsung. What I want to replace this with is a Samsung 950 PRO 512 GB SSD - 2280 m2 - MZ-V5P512BW - 3.0 PCIe x 4 (NVMe). However, I can't determine if it would work at the location of my Inspiron 7559 m2. The existing SSD seems to be SATA and the replacement of favorite a PCIe, but I do not know if the 7559 has a switchable M.2 port as some motherboards.

So my questions are - can the Inspiron 7559 take the card PCIe Samsung 950 m2 Pro and if not can anyone recommend a good map of M.2 512 GB SSD to replace my existing 128 GB SSD card?

Thank you

The port of m2 on this model is SATA-only - it will not load a disc M.2 PCIe or M.2 NVME.

The line of Samsung Evo m2 SATA drives will work fine.

  • 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.

  • Dell Inspiron 3847 - what to buy to upgrade SSD?

    I just picked up an Inspiron 3847 and am looking to upgrade to an SSD.

    I think I'm going to need:

    2.5 "BRACKET

    SATA cable

    I need a SATA III card or the existing interface works (I couldn't find clear specifications on what was actually the existing interface)?

    Something else I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    You cannot install an SSD as boot disk while the original drive is hung.

    There will be problems.

    You can install an ssd after reclassification DBAR to 1.7.5.64 and then do a 16 GB or more usb flash recovery.

    Then install the SSD drive

    and then optimize it.

    Then put the old drive as a secondary.

    I usually recommend INTEL Retail readers for this so that you get of the optimization tools.

    5. initially tried to use a crucial/256 using macrium reflect... copy image (data on disk saw) was not recognized as bootable (uefi or local)

    a. After successful installation attempted to clone crucial 256 from Kingston to work... would not work

    b. rated difference

    1. the original drive had three sections of connection (sata two connections and the other who looked like that might be where one would use the crucial non-working riders had only two sections working Kingston had three just as the original drive.)

    I know that my info is very generic and not very technical, but I am running.

    I replaced the stick of 4g with a key of 8 GB also... waiting on 802.1ac wireless card to complete my upgrade.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot upgrade ssd on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series (2015)

    I bought the model with 1 TB harddrive and a core i7. I recently bought a Kingston ssdnow v300, but was not able to connect to the storage array. Apparently, the ssd is too big. I'm so confused because the ssd is supposed to be 7 mm thick and 2.5 inches in size. Y at - it a trick that I could use to do the upgrade? Dell offers installation service? Thank you

    Hi Andresvadillo,

    A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe you could attach a photo showing the SSD with HDD support, so that we can see what is not working.

  • Pavilion 15-bc018nl: upgrade SSD m2 in Pavilion 15-bc018nl

    Hi, recently I bought a Pavilion 15-bc018nl (X7H34EA #ABZ).
    I want to upgrade with a secondary hard drive using the port m2 (empty), but I was unable to find the right type of device (Sata or Pcie) m2.

    According to the "HP Pavilion Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide", these are the possible configurations:

    but I have no idea what kind of M.2 ssd should I buy...
    M.2 internal SATA port or the PCIe is?
    I also heard that in some cases the port of m2 is not enabled.

    So my question is: How can I know if the port of m2 is activated and M.2 SSD is compatible with it?

    Thank you much for the help!

    I finally got an answer from HP support, my port of m2 is successfully activated and works very well. It is sata and pcie compatible.

    Thanks for the help!

    Robert

    Hello

    I see you're confused
    First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
    This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

    Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

    If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

    However, to SSD drive question:
    I put t really no problem using an SSD.
    It must function as the SATA controller support

  • Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

    Hello

    I am wanting to upgrade a laptop Toshiba-Portege-z30-a-10w of company SSD 128 to 512 SSD
    However when loading windows 7, it crashes when connecting with a blue screen error 0x00000001

    The SSD 512 that I use is
    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/storage-SSD-M550

    and according to the
    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/compat...Tege-Z30-a-10W

    It is compatible with the Toshiba portege-z30-a-10w
    I've updated the BIOS of the laptop to V4 30/04/2015 (which to my knowledge is the most recent)
    http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/innovation/...jsp?service=UK
    Moreover I have updated the firmware on the SSD 512 to what, in my view, is the last
    MU02 version
    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/support-SSD
    However I still get the same problem with Windows 7 to break with a blue screen just before the opening of the session.

    All ideas

    Thank you
    David

    I've never managed to install Windows 7... but I installed Windows 8 and goes on well...

    I have no why, but install Windows 8 seems to allow the 512 SSD to use

    Hope it will be useful.

  • Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

    Hello world

    This is my first post here!
    I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
    The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

    I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

    My questions:

    1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
    2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
    3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

    Kind regards
    Paulo

    > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

    I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
    You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

    > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

    It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
    Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:
    Tecra R840 & Satellite R840 HARD drive replacement procedure
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU19037K0000R01.htm

    > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
    You can use an option included in Windows 7:
    Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
    Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
    Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
    When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

  • HP Envy 13-d001no: upgrade SSD on a new HP Envy 13 m2

    Hello!

    I just got my HP Envy 13-d001no. As I expected I really enjoy them until now, but I am interested the upgrade to a faster SSD with more storage on this subject. I'm looking at two different drives, namely the Samsung 850 EVO m2 and the Samsung PRO 950 m2. Both drives are m2 (2280) form factor, but they differ in that the EVO 850 uses a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s-interface while the PRO 950 has a PCIe interface.

    I am not fully aware of the differences between these interfaces. I know that PCIe allows faster speeds, but they are both compatible with the new HP Envy 13? I find anywhere which interface is the exact shape of the SSD factor currently installed and I don't want to take the risk of buying a new drive only for him is not to adapt or not to work on the laptop.

    According to the HP ENVY laptop (model numbers used: 13-d000 through 13-d099)-Maintenance and Service Guide of, this model supports the following:

    SSD drive
    Serial ATA M2 storage
    Support for the following SSD drive configurations:
    512 MB M2, SATA-3, support triple cell level (TLC)
    256 MB M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
    128 MB, M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
    128 MB, M2.2280, SATA-3

    On this basis, it would seem that the Samsung 850 EVO m2 is the correct upgrade for your computer.

    Unfortunately I can't offer you a precise answer to your question on SATA but any standard SATA laptop is such upgrade increase you mobile computer s performance quickly.

    Fact is that SSDS offer substantial benefits over traditional hard drives. It is interesting to note that SATA II SSD will still be faster than virtually any rotation HDD

    To find out what standard SATA laptop I recommend to install one of the two hardware diagnostic tools that are:
    -Everest Home Edition
    -Sisoft Sandra.

    Problem is that your laptop does not have coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner so these updates must be performed by the authorized service provider.

    As far as I know that Toshiba does not HDD caddy so you can try to use some third party caddy but if it will not work correctly is another issue.
