Replace drive HARD Y500 with SSD - 16 GB mSATA SSD disk cache is removed?

Hello

I have a Y500 IdeaPad and recently bought a 240 GB SSD 2.5 ".

I want to replace the 1 to 2.5 "with the SSD 2.5 HARD drive" for best performance.

Now that I have a drive high speed there is no advantage in order to maintain the 16 GB mSATA SSD disk cache?

I need to remove the cache of 16 GB mSATA SSD drive after the instalation of the 240GB SSD 2.5 "?

Thank you.

Now that I have a drive high speed there is no advantage in order to maintain the 16 GB mSATA SSD disk cache?

Answer: IMO, cache ssd is no longer since you already have an equal or faster ssd drive.

I need to remove the cache of 16 GB mSATA SSD drive after the instalation of the 240GB SSD 2.5 "?

Answer: You can deleted or you can format and use it as a data disc.

  • Laptop HP 15 (r063tu): would replace drive HARD regular with SSD boost speed & performance significantly on my HP 15 laptop?

    Hello

    Regular HGST (Hitachi) hard drive failed on my HP 15 laptop and I chose to replace it with a spare Seagate Momentus 500 GB HDD (because of the emergency). I read in some other posts on this forum that SSDs increase startup speed and general performance much more conventional hard drives. In addition, seems SSD uses less power and generates less heat, which is optimal for laptop computers. Although SSDS are still quite expensive compared to regular hard drives (a regular 500 Gb portable HDD costs about Rs. 3500, or about $50), all in an SSD with a capacity of 240 GB Samsung / available on Amazon.in Kingston costs about Rs. 5000 (about $70). Thus, a half of the capacity of a normal HARD drive SSD hard drive costs still much more

    Would consider to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD if it's worth the investment (I intend to use this laptop for more than two years).

    Also, please confirm if my model supports SSDS, as he has probably that one Bay to hold an SSD or a normal HARD drive. Would be useful you can offer a good/model mark of SSDS as well. Thank you very much.

    See you soon!

    I support the opinion of Hüffer about SSDS and laptops.

    I replaced the spinner in my laptop HP 2011 with an SSD and it's like having a new machine.  It starts instantly and runs a lot faster, more I don't have to worry about the rotation drive going bad.

    An SSD is the best investment to improve the performance of your laptop.

    Good luck

  • Replace drive hard ze4900 with disk 5400 RPM?

    I am trying to replace the HARD drive on a ze4904US Pavilion Notebook, Phoenix BIOS F.15...  The original drive is a 40 GB 4200 RPM ATA drive.  I found a 5400 RPM 40 GB ATA HDD, rider that he is a slave, installed, but it is not editing as C:.  This laptop does support the 5400 RPM drives?  Should he be attached as master or slave?

    I can boot from the CD of the OS, which displays the C:\ > and complains that the path is bad.  Try to install Windows XP immediately fails with an IO error.

    If I start the recovery console, WFP, I can see the partition (\device\harddisk0\partition1), but it is not a drive letter assigned.

    If I drop in the BIOS, run the HARD drive test, it displays 'Diagnostics not supported' and 'Device No. IDE'

    The drive 5400 RPM came a Win Vista laptop and was initially cavalier as master.  If I leave it set as master boot, a CD of SystemSuite, he gripes 2-4 e/s, (ignored) errors, takes about 10 minutes to pass the time-outs of the IO error, but finally sees the old partition on Win Vista.  So I know that the equipment is in place OK.  Trying to do a trivial co-operation (volume set name) fails.

    I would like to reformat the drive and start with a file system clean, but format C:/FS: NTFS, fails with "drive not valid or not drive."

    I think I can build a bootable CD to update to e.16, the HP BIOS later.  That would support the drive 5400 RPM?

    Fixed! Found a Hitachi Travelstar 60 GB HDD, 7200 RPM, IDE interface, was attached to CSEL, inserted in the HP Pavilion ze4904us, put under tension and it worked like a charm.  The car was seen by the BIOS/advanced/HDD/Diag and it test very well, at least through quick check of phase 1, then I released on bail.  Under BIOS/Palestinian territories occupied? / BootOrder the drive is detected correctly (displays the correct model ID).  Installed WinXP and on my way.

    I used the HP WinXP SP2 original installation CD.  Does not all of the HW (WLAN, VGA), video drivers.  Subsequently found most of these on the HP/Support/downloads page.  Lack yet the program Program Files/utility/One-Touch to change the definition of the buttons easy One-Touch access at the top of the keyboard, but the work of bindings by default OK.

  • Replace drive HARD system with Samsung EVO SSD 1 TB of HP ENVY 17 - j005tx laptop computer

    Hi all

    Wanting just a few tips on how to migrate and replace the system drive without having to reinstall everything again.

    The Migration of Samsung tool work?  When I check my HDD in the laptop there 5 partitions...

    The HARD drive, I would like to replace a the following Partitions:

    400 MB (Recover Parition)

    260MO (EFI Partition)

    904 GB (drive c :) - NTFS)

    350 MB (recover Partition)

    25.5 GB (drive D: Recover - NTFS drive)

    According to the Samsung User Guide data Migration tool, he mentions the following:

    http://www.Samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/MZ-7TE1T0BW

    6 recovery OEM partitions, at the plant by computer makers, cannot be replicated. However, if the PC is manufactured by Samsung and SRS (Samsung Recovery Solution) 5 or 6 is installed, the recovery partition is automatically cloned. (Not supported in versions prior to SRS 5)

    How can I migrate all recovery OEM as well as partitions C: and D: partitions?

    Thanks in advance

    Jim

    Laptop HP ENVY 17-j005tx, HP ENVY 27 - k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server tilt, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

    If you burn the recovery DVD, you don't need the recovery partition... they hold the same data. I try the clone on the new drive and see if it works. If it isn't then you still have the original drive and nothing has been lost. Reported problems with the migration of Samsung software. Personally, I use Acronis True Image Home for cloning, and it is not.

  • have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

    Dear Forum,

    I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

    My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

    I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

    Thank you very much

    I think that cloning might be the question because the original configuration has been changed. Simple uninstall and reinstall again could possibly solve the problem as well...

  • Satellite L40 - replacement of HDD of 80 GB with SSD-disk hard

    Toshiba L40 Series (4.5 year old computer): HARD disk replacement

    Toshiba Satellite Pro: L40
    (Model: PSL4BE-00P00YN5)

    Intel Celeron: 540 (1.86 GHz)
    1 GB of ram
    Drive hard 80 GB
    32-bit Windows Vista Home Basic
    (Over four years)

    Looking across the net, but can't find any information on this advice - has
    It is hoped that someone had done a similar job. I know that the HDD in
    This machine supports the SATA drives, but I don't know if the motherboard
    supports several types of SATA drives. I have read several topics on
    users who have bought an SSD for the replacement of the old HARD disk in
    the laptop - just to find out that the motherboard did was too old and has not been
    compatible with SSDS. Even if the motherboard supports some types
    SSDS, this is no guarantee that it will work with the purchased SSD.

    The SSD I think to buy, will be one of them:

    Corsair SSD Force Series 120GB 2.5 GT "
    SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 555MB / 515 MB/s write 85 k IOPS (4 k aligned), w/support

    or this one:

    Corsair SSD Force Series 3 120 GB 2.5 "
    SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 550MO/510 MB/s read/write,® SandForce SF-2281

    (the first is the better of the two SSD drives, but the last of them has
    SandForce integrated, which (from what I've read) is preferred with
    old computers when upgrading for SSDS).

    If someone could give me some info on this topic, I would be
    very grateful!

    It is always problematic to be around some old piece of newer hardware standards and technology. I n t have this old Satellite but my friend had it.

    Satellite L40's old laptop budget very simply the hardware configuration, so I think that you will not be able to use newest SSDS to this topic.

    I really hope someone else can post a positive experience on these updates. What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba service provide by phone and ask for some advice. They have exact specifications for laptop and, I hope, can help you with this.

    By the way: I put t know what is the reason for these updates? More performance, more low composition of power or something else?

  • replace drive hard kaput?

    When my computer was unable to reboot and chkdsk and the following disk repair utility would not work, I paid to have the laptop looked at by a pro. It turns out that the HARD drive has failed. So the question is: can I replace the drive hard when all I have to work with are the recovery disks that I made when the computer is new? (Door NV57H) The OEM of Windows 7 will be on these discs, which allows installation pretty simple hard drive and recovery? Can I go with a SSD? As a smart enough DYIer with some knowledge of computers, but limited reparations experience can handle such a task?

    SSD become cheaper these days for sure

    They may fail, as any player, as you've seen personally.

    System images are the best way to retrieve install lost hdd or ssd, but they must be on other devices / hdd before they are viable

    But Yes if the recovery cd creation took place all you have to do is install a new drive and the boot CD #1

    Follow the prompts.

  • S1620CDS: replace drive HARD 4 GB by a 20 GB

    Hi all

    How to replace the HARD drive? I heard that it's located below the keyboard. HOW can I remove the keyboard, then?
    Thank you year hlp.

    [email protected]

    Hello

    You are right. The HARD drive is replaced under the keyboard.

    If you want to remove the keyboard to on this way:
    1 remove the cover of the band. The status indicator panel aims to snap
    in place. Please do not use excessive force to remove or replace. You can't lose this part of both sides.
    2. when the cover of the band is removed, remove the four screws now the keyboard in place
    3 lift the keyboard

    If I remember just the HARD drive fixed with two screws.

    Good luck!

  • Replace drive hard hp pavilion dm3 after failure of hard drive test.

    All,

    I have a HP Pavilion Dm3. Windows 8 Beta. My error messages included: drive hard Test failed. Hard disk 1 (303) fast. Hard drive 1 full (395). Most recent upload has itunes. From what I see I need to replace my hard drive.

    My question is this; is there a manual or a guide on how to, 1. physically, replace the hard drive and 2. record information that may exist on my hard drive crashed? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello:

    There are many models of dm3.

    I pulled a repair of the dm3-2000 series. I hope that this layout is the same.

    Read Chapter 4 of the procedure on the removal and replacement of the hard disk. Do not throw the old hard drive.

    You will need to the caddy, the connector and screw to transfer to the new.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01893277/c01893277.PDF

    Before you remove the hard drive, you can see if you can copy your files on a USB portable hard drive by downloading, burn it to a CD (using the ISO burning method) and make a the Kapersky rescue CD bootable CD. This will allow you to see the folders on your C:\ drive using the method of the graphical interface of the program execution.

    Then you can copy and paste your files on your portable hard drive.

    If the rescue CD can not see your hard drive, there's probably nothing you can do anything to the drive for recovery.

    Now, the SSD has a thickness of 7mm.

    My question is if I can replace the HDD with that SSD? The thickness is the HARD drive Bay in the laptop.

    If it is greater than 7mm from the DSS moves inside?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The old HDD on your machine is a little thicker, but at least 4 screws I do not think that new SSD will circulate in the case. I have actually put new SSD in one of my laptop (not HP) and no problem, BUT I don't move this laptop. If so, blue tac can help.

    Kind regards.
