Pavilion 15-r002tu: updated hp 15-r002tu ssd

I intend to insert an SSD in my HP Pavilion laptop 15-r002tu. I want to know whether or not my laptop supports the SSD and what kind of SSD should I insert. Also, my laptop allows to have two hard drives, a HARD drive and SSD?

Mobile: hp 15-r002tu

OS:  Windows 8.1 Pro

HARD disk capacity: 500 GB

See p. 59 of the Service Manual here:

Repair manuals

There is only a single Bay for a SATA 2.5 inch hard disk, which can be replaced by a 2.5 inch SATA SSD, I recommend a Samsung 850 model Evo you can get on amazon.com and other sources.

The replacement operation is not really easy. You must remove the top cover and a few screws. Post back if you need more help with migration of software, etc.. If you feel that you could do without the DVD player, you can get a basket that allows to put a hard drive instead of the DVD player, but should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this: I'm not a big fan but a lot of people do and it is not expensive or difficult. You don't want to put a SSD in such a device.

Let us know if there are more questions.

    Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

  • HP Pavilion G6 2231sc: updated HP Pavilion G6 2231sc SSD

    Hello

    so, my drive is probably leaving me as I write, I got a few BSOD in the morning and CHKDSK is now to find tons of bad clusters in all directions.

    So my main question is, my laptop will support an SSD if I buy it?

    Second, I checked the hardware specifications posted here and it does not say very much at the disk - I'm mostly concerned about size or all the other features that the reader must have, so I know what to look for when buying a new drive, SSD or HDD. Does anyone know what or where to get them? Unless the easiest way is to take out the drive and measure...

    Thirdly, my Windows 8.1 license will be preserved even if I install it on a clean hard disk?

    Other clues about replacing the disk hard drive are welcome, I've never done it before (but with the help of this forum, I managed to upgrade my RAM... year correctly).

    Hello

    Your machine uses the standard 750 GB SATA (5400 RPM) for laptops and

    1. Yes, it supports SSD.

    2 special issue of shape and size (physically). Will fit any standard SSD or HARD drive for laptops. Normally the SSD is thinner but sellers will provide plasttic fram rubber to keep them in HARD drive bays (alsi cresws them be held in places).

    3. the key is actually in the BIOS, so in theory, you can install without any problems. But in practice, you can have some small hiccups of Microsoft.

    To remedy this, the best option is to contact HP and order a set of recovery media for your computer. Help you the Maintenance and Service Guide wil.

  • The Msata SSD on HP Pavilion 14-n033TX update

    Hi, I bought my new laptop HP Pavilion 14-n033TX with SSD specified 24 GB cache. I want to upgrade the SSD in drive for windows startup and have more storage for SSDS? The specifications of the SSD I need? m sata, half size or size and what is the maximum size for this? Thank you.

    There are several ways to do so. Several SSD (Samsung for example) is issued with migration software (CD), but you'll need an adapter usb to SATA like that.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Patuoxun-converter-adapter-cable-drive/DP/B008ASF5MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1407765939&SR=8-1&keywords=USB+to+SATA

    Just connect the external SSD drive with this device and the boot of cloning a disk and follow the prompts to copy. Make sure the SSD you buy is greater than the data currently installed on the old drive. The clone will smoother copies two disks of the same size, but you can resize. Just be careful actual scores of Windows 8 that in some cases if you make them too small, you can't start or system of things like the Windows backup will not work.

    If you have another external drive, you can also do a full Windows system backup and then restore the backup by using a Windows repair disk or OS installation disc.

    Personally, I use Acronis True Image 2014 (older versions will not work with Windows 8).

    http://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/pc-backup/?adpos=1t1&device=c&network=g&matchtype=b&creative=44836518617&gclid=Cj0KEQjw06GfBRCR9tDI4t6n5_MBEiQAFo6kuKlWUPWzHg3ZofpygwRHifSLDq0VVFocq9wW9ZF1gqMaAttq8P8HAQ

    The trial version used to work for cloning, but they removed this feature. It costs $50 now; for me is worth I clone a lot of readers, but you probably want something for free.

    When you cloned the old disk to the disk SSD just Exchange the SSD in laptop hard drive Bay.

  • HP Pavilion 17-e020us: updates from HP Pavilion 17-e020us (processor / SSD)

    Hello

    I wonder what the best SSD and processor upgrades are for my 17-e020us HP Pavilion Notebook PC.  The specifications of the device are here.   I would like to the SSD and the processor both to be Intel.  I'm looking for upgrades that would make my fastest PC.

    The SSD should be around 500 GB (480 GB is fine) to 600 GB.

    I was looking at this processor and this SSD; are they compatible with my laptop?

    A big thank you to everyone who helps me with this.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Repair manuals

    Models with processor i3 - 3110M have the CPU that is soldered to the motherboard, which excludes an upgrade unless the card mother set is replaced, and need you a motherboard, the processor and the heat sink and if you buy those that you might as well buy a new laptop. .

    Intel SSD will work but good grief it is more than 3 times the price per GB of SSD standard in the market.

    I suggest a Samsung Evo 850 and a version of 500 gig of this model is $149.99 on amazon.com with the first delivery.

    See page 49 for instructions to remove the hard drive and replacing it with an SSD.

  • HP Pavilion 15-ak085na: updated HP Pavilion 15-ak085na SSD

    Hi, the above model contains a 2 TB HDD, which is reeeeeeally slow.  My old laptop i3 is much faster for most tasks.

    Does anyone know if the motherboard can take an SSD with the 2 TB drive?

    I understand this would nullify the warranty, but it's (hard) makes me crazy.

    Thank you.

    It is being worked on and I think it will be resolved. Your can work, but there is a danger that it will not.

  • Pavilion dv6 - 1350us: dv6 1350us 240 GB SSD not recognized by BIOS ver F.41

    Hi all

    I want to replace the stock 340 GB hard drive SATA with a 240GB SSD but the BIOS does not detect the SSD drive. Here are the specs:

    HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook - dv6-1350us (Intel - Core 2 Duo)

    BIOS - Hewlett-Packard F.41, 12/11/2009

    SSD - Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Model # MKNSSDCR240GB-DX

    This laptop is currently in operation with no problems. It has been upgraded to Windows Pro 10 and all the latest updates installed - it's just very slooowly. The SSD, I try to use is checked 100% working. It detects and is accessible by other computers and works very well in a USB/SATA attached to this laptop docking bay. The SSD has been deleted, including the protected EFI & system partitions - IOW, it's completely empty - without walls.

    I am capable of (old) drive image hard work and save it on an external USB drive. The image size is 110 GB and includes data, system and recovery partitions, so it fits on the SSD. When I install the SSD in the laptop there is no option to boot from it so I guess that it is not properly detected in the BIOS. Nevertheless, with the SSD installed, I can boot from a Windows 10 'repair DVD' and get to the point where he's ready to recreate the image. However, since the SSD is not detected in the BIOS, it just gives me an error and dumps me.

    I want to update the BIOS to see if it helps but I can't launch the HP flash/upgrade BIOS updated SoftPaq (sp54629.exe) on Windows 10. I get a UAC error that says: this app has been blocked for your protection. An administrator has blocked the delivery of this application...... sp54629.exe... Publisher: Not approved

    My question: if I restore the old o/s Win7 (original) of the partition recovery and then run the update of the BIOS SoftPaq under Win7, it will allow the BIOS to see the SSD? I don't want to waste hours until I can be fairly certain that the problem will be solved by upgrading the BIOS.

    Thank you in advance!

    Update: still no solution to this problem of HP. 5 hours wasted. Had to install temproarily old hard drive from the laptop in order to reinstall Win7, as well as all the crapware HP forces on us all, the recovery of the DVD because Firmware HP update software does not work with Win10 - THANKS HP! Anyway, it did not help the problem at all. In addition, I tried a SSD of SATA-III (Samsung) different with the same results. HP has to pay a bunch of 12 years to write BIOS of their laptops. Well, time to throw this laptop HP in the landfill. HP - never.

  • HP Pavilion AU113TX 15: Contains AU113TX slot M2 SSD?

    My HP Pavilion AU113TX 15 came with 2 HDD of TD and 16 GB of RAM, I wanted to know if she has the SSD M2 slot where I install SSD while keeping the built-in HARD drive as it is. Product manual available here said that the Pavilion laptops have slot M2 SSD. Thanks for the help!

    Hey there! @kushalpandya,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I understand that you need to know if there is a slot m2 on your laptop.

    I have checked the specification of your laptop and found there is no option to install M.2 SSD on your laptop.

    There are some models of portable Pavilion 15 who went with slot m2 where they have the option to install SSD m2.

    Since your laptop with SATA you don't have the possibility to opt for SSDS m2.

    Please keep me updated!

    Have a great day! :-)

    Hello:

    There is no graphics removable/replaceable/extendable 'cards' in your noteobook.

    (GPU) graphics cards, are chips that are welded and their circuit integrated on the motherboard.

    The only way to update the graph on your laptop would be to replace the motherboard.

    But as the graphical installation program has your laptop is the best that HP offered for this model, there is no motherboards available with better graphics.
