• I want to upgrade my HDD to SSD on a 13 "MacBook Pro model 2011.

  I want to upgrade the 512 GB drive HARD on my MacBook Pro 13 "2011 model to a 1 TB SSD.

  I would like to know if it is safe and that it will improve the performance of my computer?

  If your computer is under warranty I would take a first service provider since the upgrade of the disk hard yourself may void the warranty.

  Hard disks have magnetic disks called platters, that something similar to a needle, called a head, uses to read and write data.  Solid disks have no moving parts so the data is read and written much faster than a hard drive.  From a HDD for one SSD must have a performance increase, but it will only increase performance when the determinant of the performance are the storage of read and write times.  The amount of applications that are running at the same time is always dependent on the amount of system memory.  The time that processor intensive tasks such as converting video and audio can take is still dependent on the processor.  Several components material impact on the overall performance of the computer system from a disk HARD of a DDI will only have an impact on performance when the data is written to or read from storage.

• MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 pcie ssd upgrade

  Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• The MBP 13 "with an SSD upgrade

  I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro 13 "(fin 2011)." I want to remove the optical drive and replace it with the SSD. The problem is that my hard drive is almost 400 GB occupied out of 500 GB. The budget SSD will be the 250 GB. How should I proceed in this case, I want the OS can be completely copied into the SSD and the rest of the things in the hard drive. Have I not clone entire hard drive SSD or copy only the operating system work? Applications work if they are in the hard drive and operating system is in SSD.

  Usually in the facilities of double disc such as you plan, the DSS should have the OSX installed on it and find where the current HARD drive.  The HARD drive is then placed in the location of the DVD player.  But the final choice is always yours.

  Back up your data on an external HARD drive.

  Because the SSD will not have the capacity to hold all of your data, I recommend that you format the SSD drive, install the OSX and install it in the MBP.

  Then you have some decisions to make.  What data do you want on the SSD and what data to remain on the HARD disk in the location of DVD?  From inside connectivity is much faster than USB (unless you have a connection available Thunderbolt), I would setup the backup disk in the DVD drive and data location 'drag & drop' for the SSD.

  Depending on the capacity/performance of the HARD drive and HARD drive backup, you can keep them where they are or trade.  If keep you them where they are, clear the outboard/back up in the car and the two internal drives to backup.  If change you disks, clone the drive that now is outboard to the internal HARD drive (it has all of your data and the top OSX) and then erase the drive HARD outside and safeguarding the two internal drives for it.

  Life would be simpler if you can afford a 500 GB SSD.

• Pavilion 15-p045TX: HP Pavilion 15-p045TX RAM and SSD upgrade?

  Hello Sir/Madam,

  I want to upgrade RAM and HDD (SSD) in my computer laptop HP Pavilion 15-p045TX, please answer my money issues:

  I have a 64 Bit Windows 10 installed on my laptop.

  Associated with RAM-

  (1) I have 2 RAM slots, 1 is used with ADATA 8 GB of RAM, which is the maximum limit of RAM that I can use in my second slot (8/16)?

  (2) is it expandable to Rams 2 * 16 GB (32 GB total)?

  (3) can I use any brand DDR3 8 GB / 16 GB of RAM?

  (4) there must be 1600 MHz? Or 1333 Mhz will also work? What is the best?

  Associated with SSD-

  (1) is there a limit on the size of the SSD memory support? 1 taken to support?

  (2) can I use any brand SSD? Transcend SSD 370 s 250 GB and Samsung 850 EVO 250GB OK?

  Linux 64-Bit installation will make a difference on Performance or questions above?

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 3 of the memory card. It is said 12 GB is the maximum, but we know from experience, you can install 2 x 8 GB in total 16 concerts. No 32 GB. It must be low voltage, and if you already have a single module of 8 GB you want to duplicate its specifications. If it has 8 black blocks on the side, you need to get a module like this.

  It is not easy to work on this system. You must remove the top cover to get to the hard drive Bay and remove the motherboard to add RAM. See p. 105 and 116.

  Module of memory of 8 GB 693374-005

  There's a 16 gig module listed, but it is for AMD laptops with a single location and will not work on your motherboard, even if you could find it.

  You can install a type SATA 2.5-inch 1 TB SSD. There is no definitive list brands supported. People sometimes have problems with some specific SSD as some determinative seem to cause problems, but the Evo to Samsung 850 is a good choice with a record few if any questions.

  The computer does not know if she is running only Windows or Linux and the RAM or the SSD works with Linux or Windows, or in dual boot. The Linux kernels current used in the current distributions like Ubuntu 16.04 SSD handle very well with a maximum return.

• HP ENVY 15 t-K100 CTO: HP ENVY 15 t-K100 SSD upgrade

  Hello everyone!

  I want to upgrade to an SSD. I'm looking for other topics on the forum. I confuse myself now. A topic say my laptop have a port for ssd Sata m2 and another say not. Can someone give me the right information and tips.

  My laptop touch screen, use 4th gen Intel Core i7-4510u, GTX 850 M, my motherboard is Hewlett-Packard 228D

  Thank you!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  I'm sorry to say that this thing is clear as mud. Your sharing his manual model with envy 17-inch and if you look at the hard drive options it says that only 17 inches can be configured with a normal hard drive and a drive of m2. However, if you enter the actual instructions there is no distinction other than to say the m2 is on some models. I am sure that we have the owners of the post 15-inch model here and even attach photos and even if the instructions you do switch the card system for access to the m2 slot, it's actually just above the hard drive Bay. What is clear is that you are trying to add that a reader m2 is not authorized end-user and is somewhat of a technical challenge.

  So I'm afraid all I can tell based on the manual is there is probably a slot m2 in there, but it will mean almost complete disassembly of understand with certainty. I'm sorry.

• Zbook 15: Zbook 15 - the SSD upgrade!

  Hello world

  I have the HP Zbook 15 (G1), and I want to upgrade the current (Samsung 850 Pro 1 TB SSD) storage with a capacity greater than one.

  My current SSD performance according to (http://www.userbenchmark.com/) is:

  • The read up to 505 MB/s sequential mode
  • The sequential mode write up to 472 MB/s

  I think to upgrade to Samsung 2 TB Evo 850 2.5 "SATA III SSD.  It is not a series like the one currently installed PRO, but according to its specifications, its performance seems very good:

  • The sequential read up to 540 Mbps mode
  • The sequential mode write up to 520 MB/s

  I'm not sure that I really get this number of speced, but the performance difference will be perceptible with the 2 new cases of tuberculosis?

  For records, list B & H reading & writing speed for the new Samsung 1 TB 850 PRO Series SATA 2.5 SSD "as:

  • The read up to 550 MB/s sequential mode
  • The sequential mode write up to 520 MB/s

  http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1063645-reg/samsung_mz_7ke1t0bw_850_pro_1tb_2_5.html

  And for non PRO Series, the Samsung 2 TB Evo 850 2.5 "SATA III SSD as:

  • Up to 540 MB/s sequential read speed
  • Up to 520 MB/s sequential write speed

  http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1164289-reg/samsung_mz_75e2t0b_am_850_evo_2tb_2_5.html

• W530 - choose what size SSD upgrade strategy?

  I still hesitate between two strategies of size SSD upgrade for my brand new W530.

  1. an (internal) SSD + a HARD drive (internal)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB of the main Bay in a shopping cart, then in housing as a backup drive-ultrabay
  • Buy a Crucial SSD m4 (512GB) for the main Bay and use it to drive to OS/programs and road data

  2. two SSDs (internal) + a HARD drive (external)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB in an external case (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use it as a backup drive
  • Buy 2 m4 Crucial SSD (128 + 256 GB):

  -one in the main Bay as player of OS/programs (128 GB)

  -one in a basket, then in housing ultrabay as data drive (256 GB)

  I also want to let you know that a 512 GB SSD is a little more expensive than a 128 GB SSD + a 256 GB SSD. Also, I like to choose the best strategy of resistance, reliability and durabilty.

  Could you share with me the benefits & disadvantages for both strategies and tell me which is the best strategy for your point of view?

  Thanks for your help,

  Bertrand

  @p1

  I agree with the approach of @eos. I have configured my W520 on the same track. I have an mSATA SSD 256GB (a - Data), with a 750 GB HARD drive in the Bay of primary and a 500GB HDD in the Ultrabay slot.

  The mSATA SSD is my boot device, even if I sometimes start from one of the other disks when testing new configurations.

  The mSATA slot is SATA 2 don't bother me a bit. It's very fast. Sometimes, I put an mSATA SSD in an mSATA to the 2.5 enclosure and run in the Ultrabay SATA 3-speed housing. I'm hard pressed to notice the difference.

  You're better off using a partition of HARD drive for data for various reasons. On the one hand, at least write cycles committed SSDS, longer it will last. Second, if your system partition is lost, your data is still intact. Third, you can save a small partition of data rather than a larger combo partion.

  I love having the flexibility of two open bays using the mSATA offer slot - i.e. I sometimes swap in my optical drive in the Ultrabay slot, etc.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• Pavilion g6-2006ax: SSD upgrade for Pavilion g6-2006ax

  I want to upgrade an HDD to SSD, is it possible with my cell phone and if yes what SSD would be compatible? Is there a reading / writing speed limit to consider etc.?

  Here is the link to the my notebooks specifications

  I have searched google using many different sentences but have not been able to get confirmation of this, the best that I found was a manual under the user guides for the g6-2006ax on the site of HP, HP Pavilion Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide g6 as HARD a drive Bay labels ' Solid State drive (SSD) / disk hard bay " (page 25) , but when I continue to read about it does list that the various Intel CPU (page 31) while my laptop has a processor AMD A6 - 4400 M, when I read further down the list to the hard drives it list only various HARD drives without mention of SSD (page 32) thanks to the dating. PDF except in the labelling of the Bay of HARD drive so that left me very uncertain and confused.

  If someone could shed some light on this for me it would be greatly appreciated

  Here's the real manual for your laptop:

  Manual

  Just ignore the replacement memory here:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=yYbeBffNjyg

  You can simply replace the mechanical hard drive with a 2.5 inches wide and 7 or 9.5 mm thick SSD SATA laptop computer. Don't worry about transfer speeds. The most recent, more rapid will be to downclock your speed of the SATA bus. It will be always lightning fast compared to what you have. Best SSD on the market is a Samsung 850 Evo. That's what I have in my own laptop.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA4P02T78963&cm_re=850_evo-_-20-147-373-_-product

  You have no need to worry about BIOS settings or anything. Just treat the SSD as a hard drive. If you get an SSD that is large enough, we can help you just clone the old disk to the SSD or we can walk you through several ways to get an operating system, drivers and programs on the SSD drive.

• SSD upgrade question

  I got this is the section of the BONE. Perhaps this is the right place *.
   
  Hello, I bought recently for a M7-J078CA from HP. The specs are all good for what I need, except I'm not too happy with the 1 TB drive 5400 RPM. However all in all with the rest of my needs, it's a fair trade off the coast compared to the other available models. It's my 5 HP and I love them.

  My question is, if I had to buy an SSD to replace the current drive, will be factory installed HP OS work properly on it? I remember years ago that try on a desktop computer and the recovery disks do not recognize the HARD drive, so would not install the OS thinking that it was another computer. I want to upgrade to an SSD for my OS and games load and run faster.

  Second, if it is possible, it would be as simple as removing the 1 TB drive current, installation of the SSD and then start with the recovery discs? Or should I install the second disc in the Bay of alternatives and try to install the OS in this way?

  I then format the 1 TB drive and use it as a secondary storage only

  Hello again iEvermore,

  To answer your question, yes the DVD will work without the operating system and HARD drive. As for putting in the SSD that I provide you with support documents to both HP. The first HP Notebook Hard Drives & solid state drives identify, prevent, diagnose and recovery of drive failures care and Maintenance measures. This document will explain how to put in and configure the SSD. I am also including the paper Support HP HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook PC HP ENVY 17 Notebook computer Touchsmart Maintenance and Service of Guide which if you reference page 2 & 3, you'll see the following information for the HDD and SSD support.

  Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in.) 9.5 mm hard disks (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in) (all hard drives use the same bracket)
  Customer-accessible Serial ATA

• Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

  I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

  I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
  I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

  How to do a clean install:

  Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

  Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

  Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

  Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.
