Pavilion DV6433cl: What I can Uprade HP Pavilion DV6433cl to 256 GB SSD drive

I have a HP Pavilion DV6433cl laptop and I would like to replace my 160 GB drive existing with a 256 GB SSD to speed things up. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate and have bios f.2e installed.

1 is it possible?

2. If so, what are the specifications of the ssd I have to be on the lookout for and I need to install drivers or software to run easily and quickly?  Suggestions for specific ssd that work would be most appreciated.

I think I read somewhere that I can replace/install the sticks of memory 2 X 2 GB (4 GB of memory in total) for the 2 X 1 GB sticks that are currently in the laptop because I have the system BIOS F2. E installed?  The next job? : Hynix full 4 GB RAM 2x2gb DDR2-800 PC2 - 6400S DDR2 200pin SODIMM memory

Thanks in advance for your time and answers.

Yes, you have true SATA hardware more early in order to be able to run an SSD. Your SATA is SATA-I 150 Mbps, but more recent readers SATA-III will downclock. Samsung Evo 840 years ago great records and we'll work for you.

Your memory is officially maxxed to 2 GB, but 3 works for almost everyone. 4 will not. The memory is DDR2-667 DDR2-800 not.

I strongly suggest upgrading to Windows 7. He manages the SSD better than Vista. With Windows 7, it is roughly homogeneous. Just install the SSD as a hard drive and make sure that the storage of BIOS has native SATA (ahci) value and not the legacy (IDE).

  • HP Pavilion 15-p211ne: upgrade to ssd drive

    Hello

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion 15-p211ne and I want to replace the optical drive with ssd drive, I have the following questions:
    1 should I put the SSD as a secondary drive and reinstall windows, or it must be primary?
    2. What is the right size: 9.5 mm Universal SATA 2nd disc HARD SSD Hard Drive Caddy for CD / DVD-ROM optical Bay or 12.7 mm
    3. is there an official Universal SATA drive 2nd HARD SSD Caddy drive for CD / DVD-ROM optical Bay of HP, and is it safe to install no hp caddy on my new laptop computer.

    Kind regards

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    It is a 9.5 mm optical drive. See page 63 for removal instructions. You can use any optical drive SATA 9.5 mm hard drive adapter tray. HP is no 'official' part, so you must use a version of alternative, and they are widely available. Try jacobsparts.com.

    However, the SATA interface for the optical drive is slower and will not support booting from the hard disk into the adapter. So I advise you not to put a SSD in one of these adapters because it will not run at full speed.

    The optimal configuration is an SSD as main boot drive and a mechanical drive in pure storage adapter.

    Unfortunately, access to the hard drive inside the laptop is a little difficult and potentially void the warranty if you mess up anything in the process. The manual contains instructions to access the hard disk (p. 88), and these videos show the removal of the top cover (on a closely related model) which is the hardest part:

  • 140 21 Pavilion - t All in One: SSD drive expansion slot

    Lavender U motherboard has a "half-length card mini" Jack. What is a PCIe compatible location? This slot allows you to add an SSD PCIe drive to increase the capacity of drive? I was told by one person in support of HP that it would be another told me it can not be used, I am confused and do not want to invest in a SSD PCIe drive, if it does not work.  Also of a compatible SSD details, I want to add 256GB.

    Thank you

    Thanks Big_Dave, this compensation for me. I have another question please, the installed BIOS supports AHCI if my SSD drive will show all the benefits? I think just to replace my internal drive with an SSD is not using the msata slot.

    Anything else I'm missing or need to know?

  • Can I add a third hard drive to h9 Pavilion HPE currently have an SSD drive and a SATA drive?

    HP Pavilion HPE h9 (Phoenix), win 7 64

    Can I add a third SATA drive to my system?  The specs say three bays are available, but when I ordered it I could not add a third (or greater than 1 TB drives).  Is there something on the SSD that changes the spacing of the drive Bay?  I prefer not to take the walk outside if there is no way to add another drive.

    Hello

    Please report the number of HP for your PC product.

    You review this article and video?  You will need to remove the cage hard disk to install the third hard disk. In general, the SSD is in the middle of each side mounting with HDDs of 3.5 ".  Hard drive cage is made for three hard disks.

    The specifications indicate theProvisioning for three hard drives on this particular model. The firm seems to be the same as the other two models HPE H9.

  • HP Pavilion a1129n: what I can and do I update Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion?

    I have a HP Pavilion a1129n that has been improved and now has hard drives of 279 179 & 6.71 GB (without total en 316) and 4 GB of RAM. I am using a DELL E2011H monitor. Do you think I should switch to 10 Windows in Windows 7?

    I got a message from windows says:

    "Unfortunately, this processor is unable to run Windows 10.

    The CPU is not supported.

    The manufacturer of the screen did not your screen compatible with Windows 10. Check with the manufacturer of support. "

    And the site HP wrote "this product is no longer supported.

    Does anyone know if there is what I can do to solve this problem and get the free update for Windows 10 (before it's too late) without it taking much time or money? Thank you.

    Sorry that person to return to you earlier on this subject...

    I've been out for a while and only just now saw this. do not know why no one else has answered you.

    Anyway... my advice would be DO NOT upgrade to Win10.  You have a really old video chipset and there is no new Win10 driver for it, that would have relegated you to something that Microsoft calls a basic graphics card, which means you would get low resolution and poor performance.

    In addition, lack of HP Win10 drivers for your other hardware could very well make other functions turnine, as well.

    Older PCs simply did not succeed well with the upgrade - but at least you gave on this subject in advance and do not end with a trashed PC - what happened to me!

    You can do this easily with the migration software that has perhaps the manufacturer of your SSD.

    Or the migration using Paragon Backup and Recovery Free:

    Or the cloning of the HDD SSD with EaseUS Todo Backup free

  • Pavilion zv5000 - IDE adapter for HARD drive?

    I have a Pavilion zv5000 series portable whose hard drive died several years ago. My father sent him to a work friend, who understood that it was the HARD drive, and I guess that he threw the car with an adapter with it. I got an IDE drive, foolishly, assuming that the pins on the drive just fit into the connector on the laptop itself. After a lot of confusion as to why the player wouldn't be good, a research showed a card equipped with a regular at one end IDE connector and a connector similar to that on the laptop on the other. I ask if it is true that I need one, even if I do not otherwise so that it connects.

    Also, nines are isolated from the main pins on the drive. The old connector Molex had also four pins. These are the power pins, and the adapter address these too? It doesn't seem to be any other connector on the laptop. Once again, I want to just confirm this and no I have to not just buy the wrong thing for this laptop.

    Therefore the adapter that I'm looking for?

    Yes, I used to own a zv5000 and I can confirm there was a plastic connector black who went on the IDE brass pins on the hard drive to allow the connection to the motherboard.

    This is what you need:

  • Replace drive hard hp pavilion dm3 after failure of hard drive test.

    All,

    I have a HP Pavilion Dm3. Windows 8 Beta. My error messages included: drive hard Test failed. Hard disk 1 (303) fast. Hard drive 1 full (395). Most recent upload has itunes. From what I see I need to replace my hard drive.

    My question is this; is there a manual or a guide on how to, 1. physically, replace the hard drive and 2. record information that may exist on my hard drive crashed? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello:

    There are many models of dm3.

    I pulled a repair of the dm3-2000 series. I hope that this layout is the same.

    Read Chapter 4 of the procedure on the removal and replacement of the hard disk. Do not throw the old hard drive.

    You will need to the caddy, the connector and screw to transfer to the new.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01893277/c01893277.PDF

    Before you remove the hard drive, you can see if you can copy your files on a USB portable hard drive by downloading, burn it to a CD (using the ISO burning method) and make a the Kapersky rescue CD bootable CD. This will allow you to see the folders on your C:\ drive using the method of the graphical interface of the program execution.

    Then you can copy and paste your files on your portable hard drive.

    If the rescue CD can not see your hard drive, there's probably nothing you can do anything to the drive for recovery.

    I can't recommend a disk of 60 gigs. A base installation of Windows will run about 20 concerts and you have hibernation files and to restore files, applications (MS Office is 10 GIG more) and these and before you know it the drive will be full. You actually can't fill 100% so the actual capacity is above about 55 concerts. Yes, I'll tell you get a 128 gig. Here's a concert 128 for not much extra money:

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.
