Portégé R700-15 q-Use the SSD as 2nd drive

Hello

I would like to install a small SSD as a second drive in my r700-15 q, in order to experience the renaissance SSD.

I see that others have done that using a shopping cart that is installed in the optical drive Bay.

My laptop is not equipped with an optical drive, or a Bay for an optical drive. Only, it came with a traditional hard drive 7200 RPM. Here is the http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/portege-r700-15q/ complete spec

Is there anyway to install a second drive in my laptop (r700-15 (q)?

In the worst cases, is there enough connectors and isolating a space to accommodate a small SSD inside with tape!

Thank you!

If you want to use an SSD, you should replace the internal HARD disc

  • Pavilion dm4-3090se: how to use the SSD after restoration of the system of Windows backup disks?

    Hello

    After a lot of work, I finally could restore my OS using Windows backup disks that I created a few years back. (The OS has been corrupted when the power has been accidentally deleted from the system and the battery was dead)

    Restoring backup widows put everything on 444 GB C drive.  Nothing I put on the SSD drive d:-20 GB and there is nothing in the tools of HP E: drive - 4 GB

    How can I make use of the SSD drive to help speed up the system?  I see the system starts and runs more slowly now.  I'm ready to blow the current operating system and re-run the Windows backup utility.  But I need to know how to use the SSD during the restoration.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hey @llebrez,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! This is a great place to find solutions and help our community!

    I understand that you have some information about using the SSD in your HP Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook. I'd be happy to help you with that.

    The SSD in your laptop is used for a technology called Intel Smart Response. Intel Smart Response uses the SSD as a type of Cache smart to help load the items faster. The reason why that is not used currently is because the restoration of the system is not designed to use the SSD for intelligent caching and is not able to establish that on its own.

    If you want to configure Intelligent caching on your laptop, you can follow this guide provided by overclock.net: how: implement the Intel Smart Response Technology (SSD caching)

    I hope this helps. If you have more questions that I'm able to answer for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Please hold me.

  • If I use the SSD to initiate the operating system and a hard disk of data what exactly will be the benefit of this end?

    Hello

    I would like to know if I use the SSD drive for the operating system boot and a hard drive for data. What will be the benefit of this effect,

    I know that SSDS starts much more quickly and reads and writes data faster.

    When I use the SSD for OS then my only wil advantage so I have faster from the OS, not more than

    but the reading and writing data wil either by the hard drive so I wil not use all the benefits of the SSD, data wil be read and written by hard drive!

    Am I right or wrong?

    SSD benefits for most of the time of loading, and it is for all software. If you install Windows on a SSD and return to a HARD drive after a few weeks you will certainly appreciate the value of an SSD, just for the

    only the loading.

    While startup in Windows is the most obvious, the Windows advantage is usually a bit snappier

    on an SSD.

    An SSD expected to also help in many programs such as Photoshop, video editing, the processing speeds

    or CAD, due to data being created during the writing of these programs.

    I think the reads and writes more visible with large files.

    All my programs are on the SSD, but my games are on the HARD disk.

    Games to load a large number of data and will load faster on an SSD, but it's still a few seconds.

    and as games use a lot of Go, it is not really profitable to keep (150 +) on an SSD.

    -J' I keep most of my data, except the music (to save space) in my user folder, but haven't really

    noticed a difference in speed when opening a data file, such as a Word, PDF, images, or similar

    'small' files from the HARD drive.
    -I wouldn't take an SSD less 120 GB. Try to run Windows on a 60GB translate too

    stuffing autour with management of data between the SSD and HDD. In particular, as it should be

    keep 20% an SSD free to allow the two "garbage collection" and deliver a load of

    cells of extra memory to extend the life of the DSS (data gets moved to empty cells when the cells die).

    There is also a noticeable difference between the speeds of SATA2 and SATA 3 controller, so if your motherboard uses the SATA2 more the advantage of an SSD is not as great as with SATA3.

    In addition, the new SATA3 SSD controllers are faster than those of two years ago.

    SSD is a big enough topic. There are many items in the wild that may be useful.

  • Portégé R700 - 14L - no HDMI sound after reformat HARD drive

    I reformatted the HD just on my Portege R700 and sound via the HDMI TV (Toshiba TV) connection stopped working - through cable. Although the Control Panel indicates the TV speaker is the audio device by default, when you connect, no sound no fate through when I use the sound test or I play any MP4 file.

    Thx a lot

    Hello

    First, I would try to update the audio driver.
    Usually the audio page of the European driver Toshiba driver should work to find, but the most recent driver is downloadable always on the chip manufacturer page
    The sound chip is Realtek to try the driver for the HD directly from pages Realtek audio Manager.

    You must uninstall it before you install the new audio driver, one installed
    After installation, do not forget that the digital output was chosen as default device
    In Control Panel-> sound-> reading tab, you can do this

  • Satellite M40X-112: can I use the 160 GB HARD drive

    I have a Satellite M40X-112 lapptop and I want to upgrade my 80 GB to 160 GB internal drive.
    How is know possible? (Toshiba hotline cannot give me an answer only that a 80 GB drive has been tried with these lapptop!). Anyone have experience with that?

    I read several statements here in the forum about HDD upgrade on the M40X and it seems that there is a limitation in the BIOS.
    The BISO will not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive and that is why you will be not possible to install an OS or you will not be able to boot from this device.

    Please use the "advanced search" from this forum to find discussions on upgrading the HARD drive.

  • How to know the encoding of the file PCL5 generated using the HP Universal print driver

    Hello

    I generated a PCL 5 file using the HP PCL5 universal printer driver.

    While I tried to open the file using Notepad ++, the file seems to be encoded.

    How will I know the encoding used in the PCL5? Sample file is attached.

    Thanks in advance.

    >... we would like to know the type of encoding used in the PCL file.

    >> ... How can get us? It uses the EBCDIC encoding?

    There is No text, encoding, as such.

    The text (which seems to be the content of the manual 'PCL5 Comparison Guide' page) has been converted (by your player application and the printer driver) in a raster (bitmap) image.

    The print file generated contains a few sequences initialization, then (as I said) the greater part of the file is an equivalent of PCL-a Windows raster image format (in this case, the selected compression method is TIFF).

    The analysis has been produced using the PRN file analysis tool in the application of the whole PCL , available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu

  • Qosmio F30 - how to get started using the external CD/DVD drive?

    Hello Mr President

    I have a Qosmio F30. My CD/DVD drive does not work. I have the USB CD/DVD drive, but I think that F30 does not support external USB CD/DVD drive to boot to the top.

    Please help me. Now, how can I boot Windows XP CD?

    At first, I must say that I really wonder why you do not have something to trade integrated optical drive. Qosmio F30 is not that old laptop and is perhaps the warranty still valid. You should check with the partner of service authorized in your country.

    For start with external peripheral is not so easy because the external drive doesn't recognize started upward. Theoretically you should either external ODD visible to your Qosmio. For older laptop, it is possible if you start Notepad in pilot mode and load BACK to BACK. After doing this you have access to the external hard drive and can start the installation.

    You can do this with your Qosmio laptop?

    I can't access the BIOS due to a configuration of PasswordUtility from Toshiba supervisor password. The previous owner did not provide this password.

    How can I reset it?

    You cannot reset the BIOS password. It must be done by the Toshiba authorised service provider. I'm sorry.

  • Portege R700-1CZ - cannot use the latest driver of fingerprints

    My fingerprints camera worked fine until I updated the drivers yesterday to the latest version.

    I mainly use it to login in and encryption of files, but now I n t get this option. I uninstalled and installed again, tried reinstalling the software but nothing. When I go into control panel > biometric devices > use your fingerprint with Windows, I get the message that there is no app management installed. But when I check in the programs installed, I see "Authec Tec Winbio FingerPrint Soft" installed.

    Any help?

    Hello

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the fingerprint software which works correctly.
    First, I recommend you to uninstall the software to print digital also you can uninstall the driver in Device Manager too.
    Restart the unit, clean the system and registry run CCLeaner (freeware tool. If you have not installed it in the past, do so before installing the software of fingerprint).

    Then install the software of fingerprint to the driver page.
    Restart again, run the test.

  • [Solved] Laptop only uses the SSD storage, not RAM storage at all - Dell Inspiron i7559

    RAM is not for storage.
