Inspiron 1520 HDD SSD

Hello Dell Community

I have an inspiron 1520 for almost 5 years.   at that time, he worked as how it should be, but then, my hhd began to give so many errors and a loud "beep". I had to reinstall the operating system more than 10 times last year. replacing my hard drive with an ssd would be useful, and if I replaced my hard drive with an ssd would work, some say that it might work, and the other said, it won't.

I currently have: http://www.fujitsu.com/cn/Images/MHW2160BH.pdf

Some people recommended I get a: kingston hyperx ssd 240 GB 3 k

Thank you.

Hello

Both seem to be connecting SATA SSDS could work.  I wonder if your laptop can handle the flow of increased speed of this good SSD card.  Have not tried, so I can't recommend or discourage the use.

But in general, Yes, an SSD will be more reliable and much faster than a traditional HARD drive.  All hard drives crash at some point given, even SSDS, so what you end up out of this upgrade is not something that anyone can predict.

Here is a link to the Pages of Support from Dell, and if you enter your service tag you will find a link to the manuals for your specific system.  There are techniques and replacement part information in their manuals that may be useful.

    Hello so I would like to upgrade my hard internal advance in my Dell Inspiron 1520 of his current small and slow 80gig 5400 RPM for a faster hard driver preference 120gig 7200 RPM.  I went to the dell upgrade but available products only seemed a little overpriced.  I was looking at other sites, but I'm not sure how to tell how another hard drive would be compatible with my hard drive?

    Dear,

    I get the below error on Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert:

    "Unable to get the information from the disk, cannot use the alert function.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert, but nothing has changed.
    My laptop is satellie U500-1 DR and the operating system is windows 7 (64-bit)

    Thanks in advance

    To be honest this message is not to me clear that the same tool works on my machine.

    Try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added package.

    Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba (operating system) that you got with your laptop?

  • HDD/SSD location second free Qosmio X 70 - B?

    I want to buy a new laptop series Qosmio X 70 - B.
    but I have a question about the equipment of the Qosmio laptop...
    Namely,

    It is a second free (EMPTY) 2.5 inch HDD/SSD slot inside the laptop to assemble the second HARD drive?

    X 70 series - Had second free HARD drive location... but this new thinner than a series B series... I think that this series B may not...

    I think that the Qosmio X 70 - B is peripheral different.
    Its similar to Satellite L70 - B or Satellite S70 - B series and my knowledge the second HDD slot isn't taken in charge.

  • Qosmio X 770 - 13F - can I built it second internal HDD/SSD?

    Hello from the snowy mountains of Savoie!

    My computer is a Qosmio X 770 - 13F.

    I am disappointed because it runs very slowly (I have the 'windows 7 explore bar green problem'...)
    I expanded the 8 GB RAM: no change to the actual speed.

    In this computer, there is only one hard drive (750 GB, 5400 RPM).
    The evaluation of access disk hard windows is only 5.9!

    There is an empty place next to the hard drive, so I wonder if it is possible or not to add a second internal hard drive or even an SSD.

    I searched for this user manual: no answer!
    And on the web, I have also not found response.
    Perhaps on this forum?

    Thank you and I apologize for my 'English amateur' (I'm french!)

    In General, it is not easy to discuss the performance of the laptop. All of us use notebook with a specific setup and preinstalled applications that can run in the background and slowing down the reaction of notebooks.

    All I can say is that you must check the OS configuration and disable some unnecessary applications to start with Windows. Also disable the Windows automatic update installation. This can also slow down cell phone operations.

    I n t have this laptop Qosmio but it will be interesting to follow: when you remove the cover and check empty place is available HDD/SSD connector or not?

  • Portege R700: HDD/SSD Alert "cannot get disk information.

    The Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert keeps popping up on my Portege R700. It gives the message "failed to get disk information, cannot use the alert function.

    The OS is Windows 7 32 bit. Everything else works well.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HDD/SSD Alert cmdlet and the Intel Rapid Storage driver, but none of the measures have worked.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you

    Try this:

    Remove the application HDD/SSD Alert Control Panel-> programs and features
    Remove the Toshiba Value added Package Panel-> programs and features application
    Reset
    Download and install the latest Package of added value on the Toshiba site
    Download and install the latest HDD/SSD Alert on the Toshiba site

    Otherwise, it would be possible that the problem is related to the HARD drive maybe that alert the program HARD drive cannot read the info of the disk due to HARD drive hardware problem.

  • TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert - do I need if I have my laptop on a desk?

    Hello all, I guess my question is not on the HARD drive or the hardware itself, its subject the load or the process CPU usage alert hdd in my laptop. Fact it gives a heavy load for my memory?
    Someone at - he noticed your laptop to be a bit slower when this option is enabled?
    I know it's protection for my HARD drive, I understand that was a time when my laptop falls or is hit, the hard disk will fail and my HDD is damaged.
    But how useful this app if I have my laptop on a desk all the time without danger?

    Do you advise me to turn it off?

    In general the TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert function must monitor the operating status of HARD drive and run the backup of the system. It is very useful, but certainly not so important, tool that must run all the time. It runs in the background, does not use the resources so and in fact there is no reason to stop it, only if you want.

    That recommend you?
    In my opinion you should let it run. I have the Satellite P500 and it works all the time. I t n t n stop and I noticed a few performance bad/slow more laptop because of this.

  • Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

    I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

    I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
    Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
    I reformatted. No change in question.
    Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

    "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

    Disk0

    Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

    So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

    I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

    But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

    So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

    In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
    > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
    How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
    You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
    > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
    How to check or confirm this?

    You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
    The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

    Help!

    Hi YouMaCry,

    You have any records? or a USB recovery?

    If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

    To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!

    It is the manufacturer of the equipment, not Microsoft, to write
    and make available to download these drivers. Especially if your
    equipment is older, it is quite possible that the manufacturer decides
    that he is not worth his time and effort to develop drivers for
    equipment he sells is no longer.
    Check with the manufacturer to see if they will provide a driver, but
    Be aware that they may not yet have the answer for you.

    or should I reintall windows7 in my system.

    In my opinion, unless you have a spare computer to install it, and
    enjoy software testing and reports bugs to Microsoft,
    install the software before it was dismissed is looking for trouble.
    Yes, you can install the test version, but for almost everyone I
    strongly advise against cela and wait until it is
    out.
