Pavilion 15-p126ng SSD upgrade

Hi guys, first of all sorry for the question, I know it's in the forum several times, but not for my specific model.
I have a Pavilion 15-p126ng and I wanted to buy an SSD for her a little push. Now, I hope you can help me to find the best way to do it.

It is best to:

(1) remove the DVD drive and install the SSD with a caddy.

(2) swap with the SSD HARD drive and put the HHD with a shopping cart, or if non of the above is possible,.

(3) swap HDD with SSD and use the external HARD drive?

And, finally, what SSD would fit in and who could recommend you? (capacity about 125-250GB)

Thank you very much!
Phil

See page 94 of the repair for the Pavilion 15-p100 series here:

Manual link

Disc compartment hard requires a pretty extensive disassembly and put at risk, but not to void the warranty. In other words, if you break something in the process, you're on your own, but if it goes well, HP will still honor the warranty.

DO NOT want to put the SSD in one of these media for DVD player, why? Couple reasons. 1. the interface for the caddy is slower, so you do not get much benefit from the speed of the SSD. and 2. In a caddy of optical disc (DVD) drive is not bootable, so it can be used as storage device only.

I'm not a big fan of optical drive caddies, but if you just need storage move forward and get an and place the original inside for storage hard drive. You can always play the MP3 of it and watch movies stored on the hard drive in the caddy, but if you need an optimal speed as to edit a video or make a large photoshop on a bunch of image files, it will significantly slow to respond.

The best SSD on the market in my opinion is a Samsung 850 Evo. I would like to don't mess with the 120 gig: too small. I would get at least a 250 gig, which will allow you to use HP recovery discs. Alternatively, you can make a clone of the original disc

  • X 360 Pavilion: Pavilion x 360 SSD upgrade

    Hi all, I have recently (October 2016) bought a Pavilion x 360 (model 13-0004nl); internal 5400 RPM drive 1 TB is extremely slow and so would an SSD.

    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.

    Hello

    This link will help you to deepen your knowledge of SSDfor your system.

    I assume that your system has been delivered with 640 GB 5400 RPM drive HARD SATA 2.5 "9.5 mm, but your system also compatible with 7 mm drives too, here is the manual .

    Yes, you can go for 2.5 "7mm / 9.5 mm SATA SSD.

    Contact the nearest HP Service center before you buy SSDS to confirm compatibility with your model.

    MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF FILES PERSONNEL SINCE THE HDD ON ANOTHER EXTERNAL DRIVE BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH REPLACEMENT.

    Since you 640 GB preinstalled, you may not be able to use recovery disks for the resettlement of the plant affecting BONES to your<640GB ssd="" if="" you're="" planning="" for="" lesser="" size="">

    But you could migrate/clone HARD whole with BONE disk image & recovery for the SSD partition before removing the HARD drive with the USB connection to the SATA connector that comes with the SSD or you will have to buy them separately.

    Format the SSD drive before you start the migration, there is software for it in the SSD itself manufacturer website.

    And then change it yourself if its easily accessible or give it to your nearest service center HP.

  • Pavilion 15 p204tx: SSD upgrade query

    Hello

    I was thinking about upgrading to an SSD in order to improve the overall performance of my laptop. Before I go ahead and buy no matter what material, I want to assure you that it works correctly on my device.
    My cell phone is compatible with SATA 3? And here any possiblitly of add me my SSD without having to remove my existing HARD drive? And also, how can I reinstall Windows 10 on my SSD?

    I thought the UV300 Kingston SSD. I would appreciate if you coulf tell me if this works well on my device.

    Thanks in advance!

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    You want to study pages 70-78. The hard drive is accessible only after removing the top cover which is something that you must have a technical ability to do. Keep organized and right screws and separate the two halves of the laptop plastic is not easy to do it correctly. And it will be jepoardize you have left any guarantee.

    The manual says there is a slot of the WSSD m2 which means in theory, you could add an SSD, the kind of "gumstick" and keep the existing hard drive. It is more of a technical challenge, as it requires the removal of the motherboard.

    Don't sweat the thing 2/SATA SATA 3. Your laptop supports SATA 3, but that is not the question.  The SSD you mentioned will work very well in place of the hard drive. 10 downloadable just Microsoft Windows with the media creation tool which you can find by Google. Do the drive carrier bootable for installing Windows 10 inch. Microsoft servers know your computer and it will activate only first time connect you to the internet without needing a key Code. All the drivers are stored on the old hard drive, or can be downloaded here. Windows 10 also has the ability to make an image of the system, then you can just copy over your existing installation of Windows, your applications and your data to the new SSD if you also had an external usb drive large enough to hold the image.

    Need S - ATA III (600 MB/s), or just SATA II?

    The reason I ask because I want to replace my SSD HARD drive and this info is important.

    2.

    What SSD would you recommend for this particular laptop.

    According to the answer to the #1 question,.

    I think about to buy a

    Vector OCZ SATA III 2.5 "SSD 128GB

    Would you recommend it?

    See you soon

    Hello:

    I can answer your first question.

    The drive of your laptop supports SATA III drives.

    Here is the link to the specifications of the chipset for the chipset of your laptop:

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

    Which SATA (I, II or III) is compatible with the dv7-6178us? Specification the SATA is backward compatible. This means that disks SSD SATA type will work in your notebook. The SSD will be made only to the level of specification SATA your SATA controller is capable of. If the controiller is SATA150 so your SSD SATA600 installed work bandwidth SATA150.

    What is the largest compatible SSD, or should I expect for the best performance? , You can install one with the largest capacity you can afford.  I would recommend not to install a larger than 512 GB. My own brand preferences are Intel, OCZ Technology, Samsung and SSD Crucial.  Purchase of the SSD in upgrade kit is the simplest solution. Upgrade kits come with a SATA to USB cable and cloning software making it a fairly simple process to upgrade the laptop. See the post-it that I wrote at the top of the section of portable equipment for some details on this. 

    What is the greatest player I can additionally ADD the SSD for storage? I recommend you not to install any disk hard legacy with a capacity greater than 1 terabyte. There is no guarantee that a superior who will work as expected.

    The following information is the maintenance guide & computer Support laptop dv7 to refers to the physical size of existing hard drives.

    6.35 cm (2.5 in) drives supports hard drives to 12.7 mm (. 50 inches), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)

    A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

    Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

    Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

    All responses appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that it should be possible.
    You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
    To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
    In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.
