Pavilion dv7 2120 ev: SSD HARD drive

Hello

I have a 2120ev dv7 with 500 GB Serial ATA-150 - 5400 RPM laptop and I want to update to SSDS.

Is this possible?

If so, what SSD are compatible?  Could I use SSD SATA2 or SATA3?

Thank you

Yes, you can install a 2.5-inch SATA SSD instead of HARD drive. A simple procedure to install and many options of migration/copying of software. Your system is SATA 2, but the latest SATA 3 SSD will be "downclock" to work properly on your system and the speed increase is always amazing. Very little real difference in normal use between 2 SATA and SATA 3.

You would find a SATA 2 SSD anyway and improvements are being made constantly so that you don't want an older SATA 2 SSD, unless somebody gave it to you. They also tend to be smaller that the cost of the SSDS off the charts not long ago. They are always on the expensive side but do it where everyone can and should have one. Get 250 and preferably at least one concert a concert 500 or 512, which now is about $150 on a good day.

  • HP pavilion dv7 4077cl need new hard drive

    I need a new hard drive for my laptop HP pavilion dv7 4077cl entertainment.  The old man is a Toshiba MK6465gsx.  What would be compatible?  Maybe more now I have 640 GB of storage like most.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Yes, the HARD drive become more fat and more (capacity), becomes also more small - actually thinner - (dimension) AND cheaper too. You can use more (once again - ability) HDD from reliable suppliers/manufacturers. 750 GB or 1 TB of a WD HARD drive would be a good start - please stay with the one who has more cache and fast (7200 rpm or more).

    My suggestion: replace it with a SSD and put a larger HARD drive on the second span.

    Kind regards.

  • Pavilion dv7 4053 cl: Pavilion dv7 4053cl adding second hard drive

    I replaced with success the stock HDD in my laptop with an SSD.

    I want to continue to use the old HDD in the laptop well, and it seems that I have a second drive Bay HARD in which HARD drive can adapt. I have not, however, see a SATA connector on the motherboard for a second HDD connection.

    There is a SATA connector to the disk HARD primary (symbols of disc 1, marked on the plastic) and there are two connectors near the RAM, which seem not to be SATA, and my optical disc drive is connected.

    Am I missing something, or is there is no place on the motherboard to connect a second HARD (well, or SSD) via SATA drive?

  • Win7 won't start no-Pavilion dv7-6059eo-a the hard drive failed? Contact HP?

    Hello

    I have already experienced some minor problems with my HP laptop, as crashes and freezes and error startup. Now, yesterday I came home vacation and discovered that my PC did "feel well" when I used it. Sound had been delayed and delayed, processes and programs froze frequently, including the Task Manager. I decided to just restart and went for a shower, half an hour later when I came back to my PC it was trying to close the session, without success. I used the power button to shut down physically, and when I tried to start it up, I was allowed to choose whether to start the PC normally or in "safe mode", as expected. I started normally and it has frozen on the 'Starting Windows' screen, the animation wouldn't even start.

    I waited several minutes for Windows to start and, eventually, windows cursor appeared on the screen, but it was obviously the wrong resolution (much bigger (and wider than what is proportional) and fuzzier than normal), then I got a blue background (However, this was not blue, it was like a wallpaper) and the come command prompt thingy indicating exactly what :

    ECHO MBRInst returned %ERRORLEVEL% > C:\system.sav\logs\MBRINST. JOURNAL

    I leave the PC for half an hour, and when nothing happened, except at the prompt closing itself, I rebooted, it the same way as last time. This time when start I had to choose between 'start Windows normally' and 'Start Startup Repair (recommended) '. I chose the option recommended and expected (because I used to get these before the crash too). But ultimately the same black screen and the enormous-too-big-cursor appeared, then he went blue and then the command line came, stating the same message as I wrote above.

    It is, essentially, as far as I got with the PC after the evening of yesterday and today. I also noticed wave, repetative sounds coming from inside the PC, looks like a frog, very very small is trapped inside. I tried the F8 menu at startup and chose to start in "safe mode" but there is no difference.

    Hello

    Error 303 would indicate a hard drive failure - this is also compatible with the freezing issues you describe leading up to this event.

    Your best option isto contact HP and arrange for the hard drive replaced under warranty.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  • HP pavilion dv7-4177 nr: crashed hard drive

    I have extra need to read comments on the boards.  I understand that I must make a new hard drive.  Also read you can buy casing external hard disk and plug in another computer to see if you can make files that cannot be lost. It doesn't matter if connect you to a desktop as opposed to another laptop?  Also, I know once you replace the hard drive your software has disappeared.  I don't no laptop back.  Is there a way to get a recovery disk? I'll lose everything that has been preloaded when I bought the laptop as beats audio light scribe, assistant wireless hp, amd graphics card, etc.  I hope that I am clear.  I know that I can replace the drive myself.  I was wondering if I'll be able to back up all files.

    Thank you

    Thank you for your help.  I ordered the kit from recovery disc.  See what's happening.  In the future will save my files.  You never know.  Never had any problems with my computer hp laptop so far.  The only thing I replaced to the battery and the power cord.  It's good to know I can come and ask a question and get help.

  • Pavilion G-6 2209au: Pavilion G - 6 2209au exchange for SSD HARD drive

    Hello I have this have upgraded with 6 GB ram and now want to replace the disc for one SSD HARD drive, I read in the forms some how you need to change the bios when you do so, what measures are necessary for the ssd to function? I don't like about backing up files, I'll use as an external HARD drive. Also I have the apu a4 4300 m and would like to get 10 4600 m cpu is this hard to replace or should I pay someone? Thanks for the support

    That's what you have:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03551667

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    From the outset I see that you only have 2 GB of RAM. Very easy and inexpensive to spend at least 4 GB. See page 46.

    The motherboard is the motherboard. There is no upgrade available. However, you have the CPU AMD A4 and you might fall into a 10 - 4600M. See page 83. It would be a major update and only would no treatment faster, but would provide a slightly better video chip since it is a "APU" with processor and video on the same chip.

    Finally, you can exchange the mechanical drive to a SSD drive. The upgrade of the speed would be very noticeable.

    That @banhien meant, however, the cost of this can equal or exceed a new laptop. and almost certainly will if you need to pay a technician to do it. The first update I is the RAM, then the SSD and then the last would be the CPU. If you need any help post more come back.

  • iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.

    The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.

    Here's what I have on order:

    I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.

    I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.

    Cheers in advance

    Ian

    Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat).  The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.

    The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac.  Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).

    Good luck

  • External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

    Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

    Framework

    -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

    -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

    -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

    -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

    -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

    Problem

    -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

    -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

    -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Juan

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

  • Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

    Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

    I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

    I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

    I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

    Someone knows what's the problem?

    > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

    This does not work with all models of laptops.
    As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

    One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

    You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
    Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

    The comments appreciated.

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

  • 17i wanted to replace SSD HARD drive

    I just bought a new screen Envy 17 t tactile image with a 1 TB HARD drive 5400 RPM. At the same time, I bought a new Samsung 840EVO 500 GB SSD with the intention to replace the slower HARD disk with the fastest SSD. I thought it would be a simple switch (I replaced the older drive in my laptop with no problems). I thought it would be a few screws and a small sign removed from underneath the laptop and everything would be made.

    But after I got the new machine, I got everything install and running and left information for the SSD HARD drive, I have everything off and returned the machine and unfortunately... There are no signs (as described in the documentation) that I expected. She only siingle piece!

    How to HARD drive to replace it? Am I supposed to remove all the screws and remove the bottom or top (where the keyboard is) does jump off and you have access from above?

    Help!

    This model requires the removal of the top cover to the hard disk:
