ProBook 4720 s replacement SSD HARD drive

Hello.

The hard drive in my ProBook s 4720 died recently and I would like to replace it with an SSD. Some computers are known to have a "white list" incorporated in their bios of the materials they will accept. Before I have to buy the new drive, I would like to know if it will work with my computer.

the model I have in mind is:

Samsung 840 TLC base 120 GB (MZ-7TD120BW)

Than you for your answers.

It should not be a reason any, that it wouldn't work. I have install third party SATA SSD in HP laptops all the time without any problems.

One caveat with the 4720 s given it is a XP - era system - if you haven't done so already, upgrade to Windows 7. Earlier versions of Windows do not support for SSD TRIM functions, which can lead to the degradation of performance and service life deteriorated as well as potential data security issues when you use SSDS.

  • Replace SSD hard drive on laptop HP 650?

    Hello

    I read here that some HP laptops BIOS will only recognize certain approved components, such as wlan etc. cards

    What I would do is replace the hard drive on my laptop HP 650 - C5C49EA with a Plextor SSD and would like to know if there is a BIOS (or other) limitations that would prevent this.

    I read the interview and the Guide Service for this model, and have made similar exchanges before, I am confident in my ability to lead the real exchange.

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    Normally, this restriction applies only to network WLAN and WWAN cards.

    I have never heard of anyone having a problem of rejection of the BIOS on a PC built in the last 3 years on the installation of an SSD.  Some old PC recognize an SSD as a hard drive, but the BIOS would not have rejected it with a device unsupported error code.

    Your PC should have no problem to launch a SSD instead of the mechanical hard drive.

  • 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!

    Help!

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

    See page 47 for hard disk access and replacement. Without the drive of the WSSD, it is just a matter of replacing the HDD with a SSD 1 TB. Cloning a larger to a smaller drive can be a bit complicated so post back if you need some help with that.

    I always recommend a Samsung Evo 850 as best consumer SSD. I recommend you get at least a version of 250 gig and preferably a 500.

    You don't need to worry about any special BIOS settings or anything just to plug and treat it like any other hard drive. Many people resist the question and read articles that are a few years old at the time when you had to 'create' the system for one SSD. Not really need more.

  • Acer Aspire V15 Nitro replace SSD HARD drive

    I bought this laptop in March 2015. This laptop comes with 1 TB of HDD.

    I wanted to replace the HDD SSD but I called the service center (Service of Highpoint), Acer technician told me that there is no way to replace with SSD because the port is different, any SSD can also compatible with this laptop HARD drive port.

    This make me very confuse because I search in google, replace with SSD is quite possible.

    So I'm here to ask for advice. Hope can get a response. Thank you.

    Published:

    My laptop model: Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (VN7 - 591 G)

    -Core i7 4710Q

    -12 GB OF DDR3 RAM

    -HARD DRIVE 1 TB

    -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

    you have 2 options on your laptop:

    (1) switch for one SSD 1 TB HARD drive

    (2) add an SSD on form factory M2 on its location (top-left, near the fan), so you can have installed SSD and HDD

    the second option, other users have done so, and sometimes they have had some problems during the recording of the SSD as first boot device (or window Boot Manager), since the BIOS tries to boot from SATA port.

    You can force it by pressing F12 at startup and select the appropriate boot device.

    It is up to you.

  • Satellite U945-S4110 replacement SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    Recently in my ultrabook, I replaced the drive HARD SSD TOSHIBA Q Series Pro 256 GB.

    For the SSD to work and to be able to install the system, I had to remove the second disk, mSATA SSD 32 GB, because the system does not want to install.

    Because I am a passionate fan, I want to ask for advice on how to force them to work the two discs. What are the steps, or what are the programs should be used.

    Thanks in advance for your help and your patience

    I guess you want to install the system using the reader of external CD/DVD or start from the key USB flash memory.
    Right?
    In both cases, you must disable the option 'safe start' available in the BIOS.

    In addition in the case of installation of Windows 7, you must pass the UEFI boot mode option to the CSM.
    If you want to install Win 8, you can still use the UEFI mode.

  • ProBook 6440 b: replace the HARD drive with SSHD on HP Probook 6440 b

    Hello
    I am trying to replace the drive HARD original (Seagate Momentus 320 GB at 7200 RPM) with new SSHD (SSHD Sagate 500 GB;) REF: ST500LM0000). I've updated the BIOS without any problem for the F.60 Rev.A version (November 30, 2015). The operating system, I try to install from the DVD is Windows 10.

    Problem is that the installation process of Windows this new disc see. At the step where you set up new partitions, the disk is not visible.

    The installation process of Windows is an option to load drivers for the drive. It may be enough to have a driver. But I don't know which driver to use.

    Could you please tell me how to correctly install a new drive? BIOS is somehow locked on the original disk? Or in what could be the problem?

    I thank very you much for your time. I'm sorry for my bad English.

    Lukas

    In the BIOS, try to assign device SATA AHCI Mode.

  • Replacability SSD/hard DRIVE on the new Y400/Y500 series

    Hi forum, I know laptops are not yet published, but I wonder about their hardware configurations.

    I am running a Y560p with Self installed 64 GB msata WSSD, and I noticed that the new Y500 Y400 will have of the WSSD of 16 GB. I wonder: 1. why these small capacity and 2. will it be possible to replace the standard mssd with a WSSD of 64/128 GB, and then use that drive as start/program drive the HDrive has no need go up during the use of the battery.

    If the HD will work with DSS, all energy savings are cancelled and is one of the few things that stop me from buying a Y400 at the time wherever he is released, it has estimated 3 HOURS of battery LIFE? In my view, it could certainly be expanded through base being installed on msata programs (web browser, office, etc.).

    Thank you!

    Yes, I think so. In other laptops with preinstalled msata ssd, ssd is first of smaller size and is used for the cache.

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

    Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

  • Replace the HARD drive in mid-2012 MBP of SSD?

    Given to replace my HARD drive of 1 TB in MBP mid-2012.  This MBP has already been customized (by Apple) to 2.9 GHz i7 8 GB mem.

    I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:

    Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB 2.5 inch SATA III internal SSD (MZ-75E1T0B/AM)

    IS it really that simple, as suggested by some video: current copy to SSD connected externally, than to go ahead with replacement? Then you can continue normal OSX updates as usual?

    Is it really worth?

    Yes, I do some "prosumer" video (FCP) and audio (Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) - and use external USB 3 HARD drive.

    Yes, it was worth it. The difference between day and night.

    It's easy. How to create a clone of startup

  • 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

  • HP ENVY 15-j030eb - SSD HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    Really hard to find all the information on the net regarding this laptop (no reviews, no tweaks etc.). Again I would buy the desire because of his good record. However only if the following can be done:

    Replace the HARD drive internal 1 TB per a DDI, preferably a Samsung 840 EVO Series 250 Gb.

    If so, can you just plug in, or do you need to support etc. Anyone who has done this before?

    Hello SebastiaanB,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that you are looking to put a 256 GB SSD in the HP ENVY 15-j030eb. I'd be happy to help you with this. I'm you provide a link to the HP Support document: PC portable HP ENVY 15 and HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. If you look on page 5 you will see that the HP ENVY 15 laptop only supports an SSD 24 GB mSATA, your wanting to install the 256 GB it would not work. What you would end up with, it's either the BIOS would not see the drive at all or it would be very slow and you would lose any benefits that you would get to use an SSD.

    To answer your second question in the guide even if you go to page 44, you will see instructions on how to install an SSD in your laptop.

    I hope that I have answered your questions to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting about these issues on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
