  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)

  NewEGG.com has some good reference on SSD upgrade kits and portable hard drives legacy price.

  Does not fit 15mm. You will not be able to get the closed access cover.

  You could get a full SSD 1 TB that would satisfy any concern for speed, that you may have, but will be provided to or simply more $ $300. The other option is to get a 1 TB drive 7200 RPM with the largest cache of reading possible. Something like this:

• Pavilion dv7-2005el: ssd for dv7-2005el

  Hi, I want to update my computer dv7-2005el laptop with AMD Turion x 2 Ultra 64, with an SSD.
  What brand and model is compatible with my laptop?
  Thanks and greetings

  Fabrizio

  No matter what type 2.5 inch SSD SATA will work. Your laptop is a SATA-II interface, but a SSD SATA-III works perfectly. I had luck with Samsung Evo 850 SSD. The SSD of only type for which I've seen consistent reports of problems is the Crucial MX - 100 series. And it's only for some HP models newer than yours.

• Pavilion DV4-1413TX: SSD compatibility

  Hi, the HARD drive inside my laptop is quite old and slow. I want to replace it with an SSD. Is there a brand or model which is of course compatible with my laptop HP (HP Pavilion DV4-1413TX)? Can you recommend some? Thanks a lot for your help!

  It's the dv4 repair:

  Manual

  For installation instructions, see p. 59.

  You can use any large 2.5-inch SATA SSD. Those who are going to be 7 mm thick, but will always be the bolt in the caddy in place and place a thich 9.5 mm hard drive. Get at least a 240 gig. Something more kid is simply too small to work with and the prices are more reasonable now for larger sizes. On an older machine like yours, you can shop on price because the performance differences aren't really going to be too sensitive. Your laptop's SATA-II, but you should get a SSD SATA-III and will downclock to SATA-II operation will always be incredibly fast compared to a hard disk.

  This is a "negotiation" player available on Amazon with first delivery for less than $60 and would work fine:

  It's a 'high-end' SSD, one I personally always recommend, for $88:

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: SSD compatibility

  Hallow, I want to put in place an ssd.

  My laptop laptop HP Pavilion 15, product number is K6Y21EA #ACB.

  Which ssd is compatible? The size?

  It can be done, but not easy. Here is the Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 94. You must remove the top cover, but not the motherboard. You can replace the 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 mm thickness standard hard drive with a 2.5 inches wide 7 mm thick SATA SSD. You can install a 1 TB SSD, if your budget allows.

  I recommend a Samsung 850 Evo like here:

• HP Pavilion-G7-1310US: SSD compatibility

  Hello informed people!

  I have a HP Pavilion-G7-1310US of . Intel Core i3 - 2350M to 2.3 GHz. My hard drive makes noise and I fear that it is on it is the last step. The machine is also very slow. I am thinking of wiping clean and go with an SSD. Can someone tell me if there is a compatible SSD? I looked online and can't find discs HP (imagine that) which are very expensive. I think it has a SATA interface but I see in the research, there are many variations of "SATA". Can someone tell me if there is a compatible SSD for this other than the readers of HP machine?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Well your PC is Compatible with a 2.5 inch SATA solid state Drive SATA III Interface which are however Up x 28 times faster, then a HARD disk

• Pavilion DV7-2185DX: SSD install on a HP Pavilion DV7-2185dx

  I want to know what issues and hardware do I need to install an SSD 480 GB drive in my laptop as main drive?  Please consider the SATA and power consumption when you reply.

  Thank you!!!

  Already considered. The type SATA or power is a matter of concern. Just remove the existing mechanical drive and install the SSD. The worst thing you can do is overthink. The SSD model I would stay far from East MX100 Crucial... I prefer the Samsung 850 Evo, but you can't go wrong with all major brands.

  The BIOS is set to fully support the ahci and SSD use less energy. Your laptop's SATA-II but a SSD SATA-III will downclock and fine workmanship.

  A second hard drive to your laptop can support if you only now, you can put your mechanical drive in the second Bay. Newmodeus.com sells the hard drive after the caddy/connector kits. Just be sure and get the right for the dv7-2000 series; They vary a little. The second hard drive kit makes cloning really easy too... everything is possible inside the laptop.

• Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions

  Hello

  I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.

  (1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.

  (2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.

  Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA

  Chipset: AMD A70M FCH

  CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10

  Thank you!

  It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.

  I want to upgrade my computers hardrive portable SSD-Drive. It says on my laptop service guide that only intel based model supports on the ssd drive. However, my flag has AMD Turion. Anyone would confirm, weather, I can upgrade the HDD-> SSD?

• HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx - do not pick up the Samsung 840 Evo SSD for clean installation

  Hello

  Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx

  I bought a new Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB SSD and going on to replace the main HARD drive. Tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it using the USB bootable Win 7, it loads the installation and starts ok and then he asks to load the driver for any device and gives you an analysis of the option to see if there is any storage device to select for installation. It clearly shows that it does not pick up the SSD.

  Unfortunately the bios insydeh20 V3.5 has no possibility of even check if it is detected or so.

  What do you think is the problem? The BIOS update would solve this issue? or is there any other work around that.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Before I went ahead with the method you suggested, I tried updating the Bios with the latest version and voila... system picked up the SSD and all is well now.

  Thank you

• HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl: support SSD SATA III?

  Hello

  I think about adding a 2nd. hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl.

  The current drive of 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be the 2nd. drive and a new SSD will be 1. drive (System and boot).

  I was looking for this information, but I couldn't find the answer. My doubts are:

  1. the dv7 - 4083 cl does support SATA III? If I install a SATA III disc, will it work to its full potential, or as a SATA II drive? In other words, can I buy a SSD SATA II drive cheaper because I wouldn't have the performance of a most recent hard drive SSD SATA III?

  2. a 256 GB SSD support this machine? Or is it just up to 160 GB?

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  You know the chipset specifications to determine what version of your laptop SATA drive will manage transfer speeds to.

  Your laptop computer has a chipset Mobile Intel series 5 (HM55) who can run that hard disks to the SATA II transfer speed.

  Not until you get to new Intel 6 Series chipsets and can they run SATA III drives to SATA III speed.

  Here is the link to the plug on the chipset of your notebook.  Note the SATA 3.0 GB/S specifications.

  http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-HM55.html

  Since your laptop comes standard with a 500 GB HARD drive, I imagine a 250 GB SSD should work fine.

  However, the recovery disks may not work on a smaller hard drive.

• I would like to add an ssd for my pavilion dv7

  Hey

  I own a pavilion dv7 4050eb, and I'm looking to add an ssd.

  It has 2 compartments to put a hard drive in my notebook, is currently being used, and the second is empty.

  So I thought that it would not be a problem.

  But when I went to my local computer specialty store (where I bought this laptop), they told me I will not work if the cable connection for a second hard drive and support was not provided with my laptop (which is you case) because they can't get those of HP, no matter how hard they try.

  Is there really no way that HP can provide these simple parts (cable and support)?
  And if I could get those, would there be any problems whith install an ssd in this specific book?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can find the part number for the hard disk hardware kit in the guide Service & maintenance dv7. You can order the part of sellers online or directly from HP online parts store.

  

  Hard disk hardware kit (not shown, includes right and left mounting rails,)
  cable connector, Mylar cover with tab, 4 screws and 4 rubber Insulators) HP p/n 605415-001

  Yes, you can add a SSD. Your laptop might even have been bought with a SSD when ordered online.
