Pavilion s5257c: can I move HDD to SSD

I would replace the current with a SSD HARD drive because the HARD drive starts to become noisy.  Is worthwhie exercise or an exercise in futility?  The PC still works well, running Win 10, and I wouldn't spend the money for a new.

Thank you.

While the PC is still "works" with Windows 10, this isn't really a very advanced for when it was new and certainly not more.  If it were me, I would not spend the time and effort to put a SSD in when a new hard drive would probably cost less and work like this about.  Given the architecture of this PC, I would invest in additional expenditures of an SSD vs a normal hard drive.

  • Replacement of Pavilion g7 - 2233cl HDD with SSD?

    I have a Pavilion g7 - 2233cl that the HARD drive has failed recently, was planning to move to an SSD. I'm trying to figure if the SSD I look is compatible with my machine.

    This is a link to the product on Amazon.

    Thank you!

    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:

    You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

    See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

    Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

    -----------------

    Alternatively, you can use Easeus Todo Backup to move your plant to a SSD:

    Hello

    Adding an 840 Samsung 120 GB SSD evo after experiencing blue screen errors quite frequently on the current 500 gb HDD Momentus. Instead of going down the road HDD has decided to invest in a SSD having recently started working with design, software development. Have a black WD 500 GB internal, which is used for external ups back who will now be a secondary internal drive.

    Errors, crashes seem to be a common problem with me losing valuable data several times in the past, so don't can afford many more mistakes if you are looking for the most reliable, safe, an effective way to go whether...

    At the recovery of windows 7 CD bought a year ago, to restore from windows 8, computer laptop second hand purchase. Make a copy of windows 8 at the time.

    s summer absorbing much info as possible.

    Decided to clone the HDD to the SDS that seems very simple. I hope to have enough time to clone it sounds really as if it was his breath... strange distorted sounds.

    In any case have a special software which I can't find the cd for cloning would save me many things allowing me to go to my work. This will be possible with cloning, or is their something else I am missing to get a program to work.

    Have saved most of the files on the external HARD drive that I intend to use later as the secondary. So simply will delete them from the HARD disk as well as the programs files not wanted on the SSD as the 120 GB is not much room I guess.

    Will use free software provided free of charge by samsung that seems to be good for the job.

    I know the answers are already mentioned here, but if someone could let me know if their anything I'm missing or could be used to improve things, the longevity of the SSD.

    The plan is:

    -Insert the SSD for laptop via sata to usb cable

    -With the Samsungs software clone disk to SDS

    -Set AHCI in the bios

    -restart the laptop

    -enter in bios

    -Select the boot order to SSD first.

    -AHCI box

    -Save and enjoy

    -If everything stops correctly, power on, insert hard disk backup into the secondary Bay and it's all good

    sounds good?

    Been reading a lot about files which are re-written or modified attribute as a page file of OS which does not have to be registered on the SSD. In any case their links I have for what seem to be simple. Directory for saving files using programs will be on the HARD drive. Can still move after anyway

    Nothing else to ensure the sailing smooth completely?

    Hello

    It's great that you decided to do a new installation instead of cloning. Cloning of a HDD failure can cause a lot of problems in the long term.

    When you install Windows be sure to disconnect your old drive HARD and WD Black drive PC's HARD otherwise, Windows install will place the system partition booked on one of the hard drives.
    The drivers, you can just put on a USB stick and install from the USB after Windows is installed. Good luck.

  • Change HDD to SSD?

    I just bought this HP Pavilion 15 ( http://cdon.se/hemelektronik/hp/hp-15-n041so-i7-4500u-8gb-500gb-gt740m-2gb-w8-p25290915 ), and I was wondering if it is possible to change the existing to a faster SSD HARD disk? In this case, how can I find out which SSD is compatible with my laptop?

    Hello eweeliina,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    You can replace your HDD with a SSD or SSHD.

    This should be a 2.5 inch SATAIII / SATA3 ssd to reach the maximum speed of your laptop.

    Be aware that there is no option to keep your hard drive, unless you use a ultrabay.

    Also, be aware that you need to copy your current HARD drive in your SSD, otherwise you won't have windows 8

    Here is an example:

  • Z560 - replace the HDD with SSD - solved using OneKey Recovery

    Hey guys,.

    In a few days time Santa is put me an SSD, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB.

    I think to clone the drive following this guide: http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software and I'm a little confused on the partitions that are currently on the disk.

    I have:

    Local disk C: 552,55 gb,

    LENOVO 28.8 GB D:

    and a partition unassigned 14.75 GB.

    Does anyone know what contains the unassigned partition? I guess that's the One - Key recovery software? If this is the case, then I intend on deleting the D: Partition, which currently contains drivers, narrows the C:\ about 100 GB and cloning then the C:\ 100 GB and partition unassigned... will this work?

    Bravo guys!

    Hey guys,.

    I got my Vertex 3 today and it is ridiculously fast. Totally recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway, I discovered how do I reinstall my laptop, and I'm going to ask you now:

    (1) One Key Recovery Opened and clicked on 'create recovery disk', followed by 'default recovery drive '.

    (2) thought - sod it, I'll just stay in my new SSD and see what happens. Inserted, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, and then install windows.

    (3) gain?

    In fact, I found myself with

    C:\ 96,84 GB

    Partion unnamed (14, 75 GB) - this is the area of a key recovery

    Unnamed (200 mb) - partition likely etc boot sector reserved by operating system - seen elsewhere on other systems and is quite normal!

    So yes, that happened on a NEW SSD building, which had not been formatted before - OneKey Recovery did everything by himself.

    I hope this helps people in the future!

    Merry Christmas!

    No it's just that HP offered when it was new. A 500 GB or 1 TB SSD would not be a problem. All 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 or 7 mm thick hard SATA or SSD will work.

  • Silence X 230: Swap HDD to SSD or install mSATA SSD HARD disk?

    Hello

    I have a x 230 with a 320 GB of HDD (7500 RPM) and want to replace it with an SSD for a fully automated machine.

    Right now, most of the time the only sound I hear the machine is the rotation of the disk HARD and TP Fancontrol watch that especially fans are not at all turns. I can afford a 128 GB SSD, but I am confused if I should replace the HDD with a SSD or complete with an mSATA SSD and install Windows, instead. The latter of course would give me 320 GB of HARD drive space, which would be nice, but my priority is the silence, so I need to know if the HARD drive can be powered completely except when I need files from it? If the HARD disk wakes up now and then because of some hidden Windows processes that I can't control, I'd rather than with an ordinary SSD instead of the mSATA SSD. I can live with less space.

    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Thank you

    If you install your operating system and applications on the mSATA ssd and just use the HARD drive for file storage then I think the HARD drive will only turn up when you access these specific files.

    Control Panel (Power Options) and Lenovo Power Manager settings for the hard disk turns off after a period of inactivity. However, the settings apply to all readers. Individual hard drives have no separate settings. I think that the system will not shut down the drive hard as long as there is activity going on in an mSATA SSD.

  • How can I move the default location of my PSE catalog?

    Can I move the default location of my catalog (currently: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs) to another drive?  It turns out that I don't have the space on the C drive to perform a migration.  I have been using PSE for some time on my Windows system (Vista) and running version 9.  I recently installed version 10 and failed to install during the migration of catalog.  I went back to 9, repaired the catalog, provided to all media was found and repeat the attempt to load to 10.

    The system configuration:

    Drive (SSD) C - 7 GB free, default program location, the catalog size 18 GB

    D drive - media location, total size 36 GB

    Drive E - desired location to the catalog

    Any other suggestions?  I'm stuck here.

    Open the catalog and use the help... System Info to see the exact location of the catalog directory.  Use Windows Explorer to copy the entire catalog directory and all of its subfolders to your desired location.  Open PSE and use the file... Catalog to open the Catalog Manager and select "Custom location" and then navigate to the new location.

    I'd do it in PSE9, and once you are unsure that the new location works perfectly, you can use Windows Explorer to remove the former location of the catalog.

    Then you can try PSE10.
