Pavilion 550-122nd: install an ssd in Pavilion 550-122nd

I am installing an ssd in my computer (Pavilion 550-122nd).

The chassis of the computer is not as I used to know, where you could fix with the screws on the side (HD) material.

The hard drive in the 550-12 Pavilion is set on the bottom of the hard drive.

The 2.5 "to 3.5" support for the ssd in the computer doesn't have the screw holes on the bottom of the support.

Are special types of media for this? Or, how to install an ssd in the 550-122nd Pavilion?

Thank you.

Meribel

Personally, I wouldn't worry on the screws.

With a hard drive, these are important because they stop the car while it is in use.  But in an SSD, you have no moving parts, so there is no reason to immobilize.

I have a tower PC running on an SSD and which is simply placed on top of a tray of disk - and works very well for months!

Good luck

  • 15-ab236nl Pavilion: Pavilion 15-ab236nl install an SSD

    Hello

    I am interested in buying this laptop

    Pavilion 15-ab236nl

    AFAIK, there is no option for a second HARD drive, so if I change the default HARD drive with an SSD in my choice would that work? (which means I'm able to reinstall Win10 etc..)

    or rather, if I had to buy a HARD drive for this model caddy, swap it with the DVD drive and install it with a SSD would that work? Do I need any special ribbon cable?

    There is no information about this exploit, so if anyone has any opinions or knowledge that would be great.

    I'm just asking if it is possible, not how, that would come later.

    Here are the applicable maintenance manual:

    Manual

    The first thing I want to emphasize is that this type of change, which probably will void the warranty. That said, it is possible to install an SSD, and according to the configuration you order, you can add a second hard drive in the slot of the WSSD m2 or the SATA connector, if she's not busy factory.

    You generally don't want to use the optical Bay for one SSD because the interface is slower than the main SATA bus and a player any connected as it will not be bootable, so you end up just with very expensive and paralyzed storage speed if you put an SSD in there. The best thing to do is to get out the mechanical hard drive spinner, put it in the optical Bay for storage and install an SSD. The m2 slot gave people fits, so I recommend you just work with SSD SATA 2.5 inch and not a m2.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c54ea and I'd like install a SSD as my main drive and keep my current 1 TB of HARD drive for storage.

    I know from having to buy the extra cable and I can adapt it eaily but y at - it type of SSD, I would need to obtain or avoid? (personal preference not wise compatibility).

    Once its easy installation would be also the primary SSD and move the windows on it my drive?

    It should be, and even if it is it will work on a SATA-II system. SSD SATA-III are newer and better and faster so they work better, even on a SATA-II system.

  • Install an SSD in my dv7t...

    I want to install an SSD to the sides of my HARD drive in my HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Ed (I have an enpty Bay right now). I am running into a problem with the necessary cable - SATA cable supplied with the disc SSD is much too thick to be fit and too big connectors. The currently installed drive cable is very thin with NS, right angle fittings.

    I've never done this before, so I'm having a lot of trouble to find the cable I need to install this disk that fits in the space allotted, especially because I'm not sure exactly what kind of cable I need. If anyone has done this before and can connect with or the cable, they used the name, it would be extremely useful. Thank you!!

    FYI to anyone who stumbles on this thread, here's where I found the connector by itself (IE without the whole installation kit)

  • Can I install an ssd and its system of MacBook Pro mid-2010 on a Mac Pro mid 2009

    Hello

    My MacBook Pro just died yesterday (logic board) and I want to install the SSD with the system on a Mac Pro.

    I just ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine.

    I wonder if I can boot directly from this SSD or if I do the previous setting in the system.

    Given that the Mac is able to run the latest version of Mac OS X, and you want to move the SSD for older Mac rather than new, it should work. I guess that saying you 'ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine' you mean connecting via USB rather than internally, which would be a great test.

    If it works, I would say running the combo for OS update comes on the SSD once it is installed in the older Mac.

  • Slow startup after installing the SSD because gray screen

    I just installed a Samsung Evo 500 GB SSD in my Macbook Pro 2010. I went to start and it starts very slowly due to a gray screen just sat there for about 30 seconds and then it shows the apple logo and it takes another 15 seconds to load. The gray screen did not appear before installing the SSD but the Apple logo did take longer to load with the HARD drive. I used SuperDuper to clone my my SSD HARD drive and installed the SSD and it starts normally. The only issue was the gray screen. I've heard that I need to go into system preferences and select Startup disk, then my boot drive, but there is no choice. Help, please.

  • Question about installing an SSD in my optical drive

    I'm looking for pulling on my optical drive and put in an SSD, because I was told it can do my slow Mac run very fast. My thought was that rather than spend on my existing hard drive, I would take the optical disc and install my SSD it (I've seen a lot of videos shows how to do this)

    My original hard drive offers 500 GB and also have a Windows partition, so I'm a little afraid to play with it, too... Adding an SSD will give me a feature from the application of some of the work for the SSD (such a start and some slower applications) to work only with a specific hard drive? And if I did start Mac on the SSD, should I uninstall and reinstall OS X on this new SSD?

    Sorry, I'm really new to all this. Any help is appreciated!

    My first step would certainly be in lieu of the HD with an SSD. Then assess where you are and what you think of your 'new' machine.

  • install an SSD in Workstation Z600.

    Hello

    Description explains it, I thought to replace my current HARD drive to an SSD.

    I did a lot research on this myself, but thought I would check here just wrap there are any falls known issues/pit with a ssd in z600 workstation installation, I will look at adding a 1 TB ssd.

    1. installation of the material? the 3.5 inch z600 caddy would not accommodate a SSD, HP sells racks that will fit the z600?

    2. compatibility with the workstation? are there types of SSD that are best suited for z600 workstations?

    3. how to install and set up? is it as simple as connect via a cable SATA SSD and installing the OS? The Bios settings?

    Any information would be appreciated,

    Installed a Samsung 500 GB SATA III Evo in my z600... and it works perfectly.

    Installed last week and have been installing programs and saw the general use of it without any problem. I wanted to test properly before posting a reply. It would be possible that I have problems with it later, but I would of thought that if she had problems I would be this topic now.

    My SSD reads to 282 MB/s and writes to 270 MB/s - write random shuffle (IOPS) (IOPS) 51612 47395.

    Being a SATA II gen workstation his don't reach only the full potential of the SSD to 540 / 520 MB/s writing but reading what I read, you won't notice the difference even its so fast... and I accept CC suite, mozilla, (did not install 3dsmax yet) all boot in seconds compared to the minutes on the old HARD drive.

    Just to note that does not use a HP recovery disk to reinstall the OS. I have used a .iso official windows 7 and booted from USB (although it has some things useful, I didn't HP bloatware) drivers installed perfectly smoothly. Windows serial on bottom of Tower

    1. installation of the material? the 3.5 inch z600 caddy would not accommodate a SSD, HP sells racks that will fit the z600?

    "Via Scott comments, look for the version of"needs-tool"in the post above, mine cost £8.50 and takes every 5 seconds to fit the ssd for the z600. I would not buy the version of the tool-less sugguest... unless you have no hands and a lot of money. »

    2. compatibility with the workstation? are there types of SSD that are best suited for z600 workstations?

    "Yes, they are HP approved detailed SSDs in, but the post above, I had no problem with the class of consumer SSDS, but you dice with what brand." The Samsung EVO 500 GB, no problem. You can use a SATA III ssd, but you can get questions as warned by HP as their firmware does not support certain types (so basically if it doesn't they don't help you) ".»

    3. how to install and set up? is it as simple as connect via a cable SATA SSD and installing the OS? The Bios settings?

    "Make sure that your BIOS is set to RAID + AHCI (mine was already setup like that)." I used the samsung Wizard tool after installation and it will say that your PC is not set to AHCI, but I just ignore it. As long as ORGANIC and firmware are up-to-date, you'll be fine. Use a blindmate card to install the ssd (see above messages). Make sure you get the latest firmware on a USB before installing SSD, it should be the first thing to check after the installation of the SSD. You don't need to change cables SATA from II to III that the cables are retro-compatible... anyway have a SATA III in a z600 will limited you to speeds of SATA II (which compared to a normal HARD disk are ridiculously fast). Just plug in and install OS. It can be interesting to read about boring SSD, the magician of samsung suggest some things to do, but not all are necessary, either its life expectancy more performance... defintely deserves to be read to the top, if it's your first SSD as it was for me. »

    Upgraded high hand the best I've done to my workstation and very simple to do. I'm glad that I waited for better support and cost down on the SSD before using.

    Enjoy your SSD, I'll do it.

  • This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

    Hello

    I wonder if installing an SSD in my PowerBook G4 17 "would make sense, either replace the drive of 80 GB original or being a carrier of replacement instead of the SuperDrive, which can be done.

    I read somewhere, but that because of the PB G4 PATA connection an SSD would be significantly slowed down that it make much sense to install a.

    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Thanks for all the opinions.

    It probably will not affect performance much.  You may notice the startup time is faster.  It makes the quieter PowerBook, and it produces less heat, fans can turn on less often (what makes even more quiet).

    I replaced the hard drive in my old PowerBook ("Pismo") with solid state storage.  First of all, I used a physically tiny SDXC (32 GB) card on an adapter, and which worked surprisingly well.  I had already used this same card SDXC (of Sony brand) with my 2011 Mac mini (in its high speed SD card), as a startup disk for replacement for testing purposes.  The adapter I used is like this

    http://www.Amazon.com/optimal-shop-secure-digital-adapter/DP/B00BANFDWG

    I use it for about a year or two.  Then, I replaced it with a 128 GB mSATA on another adapter card

    http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B009BA8V4M

    The mSATA (as well as the adapter) card is significantly faster when doing things that require focused disk access, as at the start.  It's logical, because an mSATA (unlike a SD card) card is designed to be a drive on the computer (no storage media).  The total cost was about $55, probably even cheaper now.  I bought the card mSATA (Samsung brand) on eBay.  It has been used and the seller had the highest number, so I thought they were 'draws' laptops have been recycled or upgraded storage higher.  128 GB is the maximum for my old PowerBook, so it was a good deal (about $40 at the time).

    I have posted more information in another similar topic (including a review of product for the adapter mSATA), a few months ago...

    As far as I know that some models are available with drive HARD and some with SSD these models with SSD have small SSD support. SSD is fixed by 4 screws in this medium.

  • can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

    I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

    (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

    2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

    My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

    Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

    Hello

    Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

    1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
    2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
    3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
    4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
    5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
    6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
    7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

    The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.
