• 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!

  How to HARD drive to replace it? Am I supposed to remove all the screws and remove the bottom or top (where the keyboard is) does jump off and you have access from above?

  Help!

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

• Replace SSD HARD drive

• 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.

  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.

• Replacing the hard drive Inspiron 1150

  After the execution of each diagnostic test possible and trying to reinstall Windows, I finally out of denial and accepted the fact that my hard drive was dead. I was able to transfer all my data on another computer by using the bootable ubcd4win excellent cd. Having survived that nightmare, I thought buying a replacement hd would be a relatively simple task, and the Dell site would be a good starting point. Showed nothing useful there, so I called Dell support.

  Dell response: buy a $300 80 GB hd (or 60 gb for $170) because it was the only thing that would be compatible... or I could talk to the Department 'parts' to see if they had something more reasonable. OK, so 3 gentlemen Indians in the parts department, later, I hung up and looked more closely at new eggs.

  So now my faith in Dell support has been destroyed, no one knows if they were right on my motherboard only supports up to 80 GB? And I have OK will buy any disk ATA/6 for this ' puter?

  
  

• 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.

• 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.

• Replace the hard drive and OS re - install Inspiron One 2330

  Hello

  I had my all-in-one desktop Inspiron One 2330 for about 18 months.  I see serious problems with the hard disk, the system hangs, and the event log is full of HD playback errors.

  ePSA diagnosis shows code 200-0142 telling me to replace the hard drive.  The chkdsk utility runs and sometimes corrects problems and sometimes clean.  Such problems at low altitude, I'm surprised that I can start far enough away from launch internet explore and write this message.

  I called Dell support and they were kind enough kindness to send me the original floppy Windows 8.1 for the Inspiron 2330.  I have a disk hard solid state ready to install, and I saw a bunch of great videos from YouTube that explain how to open the case.  The HD swap is not a big deal, but I have a few basic questions.

  I know that many readers here know the answers.  Thanks in advance for help...

  1. If I install a blank HD in this installation media machine Dell recreates all of these crazy Dell partitions?  I have not of much use for them until I ran the diagnostic ePSA and it was extremely helpful.  I hope that you will tell me that if I do a fresh install, I get a new partition ePSA addition to 8.1 Windows on my replacement drive.

  2. I do not see why this machine won't support a SATA SSD SanDisk brand new instead the 1 TB hard drive that came with it.  Is it OK to use SSD drives in these Machines from Dell?

  3. have good links for the operating system Dell re - install procedure?  I will be installing Windows 8.1 on this drive.  Strangely I find no procedure to re - install step by step operating system.

  4. I have read that the activation key for Windows is now integrated into the motherboard of the machine somewhere.  Do I need to enter this key when I re-install?  I don't see all the stickers on my machine with the key.

  Thank you for your help,

  I finished the upgrade SSD in my Inspiron One 2330 with very little trouble.  Here are answers to the questions for those who find my post using original research.

  1. the Dell Windows 8 installation media disc does not any recovery disc partition, new, retail.  If you install fresh by booting from the DVD drive, you get a nice clean install of Windows 8 without any extras Dell.

  It seems that the diagnosis of ePSA is hosted on the motherboard of the system and not the hard drive.  I have had no trouble to boot in diagnostic mode to run tests of ePSA, even if I see any Dell diagnostic partitions.

  If you install fresh from Windows 8 media you definitely lose the Dell recovery partition.  No big loss.  It is a little strange to wait the software stored on the hard disk to help you recover problems with the same hard drive.  I'll just do another clean DVD media installation if this happens again.

  2. my SanDisk 256 Gb SSD is impressive.  It costs ~ $80 on Black Friday, and now my Dell Inspiron One 2330 boots in 9 seconds.  This is measured from fully powered down for the moment, I type my password to connect.  9 seconds - crazy fast.  Modernization of the best ever.

  3. my internet search found many useful message board posts, some web sites and blogs.  Unfortunately there is no official Dell Reinstall procedure that I could find.  The complete replacement of unplugging the power to see Windows 8 on the screen by using a new SSD was about 70 minutes.  I gathered the information I could find and guess the rest.  Worked for me.

  4 Windows 8 activation code is not necessary for a media of Dell Windows 8 re - install.  The installation process of Windows 8 should be reading the key out of the motherboard because I've never been invited to type one in.

  Here are a few other tidbits:

  5. the Dell Windows 8 media support I was sent by Dell wasn't Windows 8 and 8.1.  I spent more time pulling down of updates, restart and then installing Windows 8.1 on the app store that I did replace the hard drive.  Don't forget: some updates depend on other updates being present.  Really, you need to run the Windows update utility several times to get everything down.

  On the good side of things, my restarts are now long 9 seconds.  I have no problem whatsoever reset to any indication that the system needs to restart to complete the installation of an update.

  6. after obtaining my update to 8.1 Windows system, I installed all the latest drivers for the Inspiron One 2330, which could be downloaded from Dell.  This figure includes a BIOS update which has been a royal pain to apply.  To do this I had to create a start-up separated from 'BACK' USB key.  In fact, it is possible to create this rudimentary special boot using utilities downloaded from Dell drive.  Locate the "diagnostic Distribution Package (DDDP)".  Good luck with that.

  7 Dell backup and restore has been completely useless for the replacement of my SSD.  I have had two drives bootable USB thumb complete with full system backups, the backup restore and Dell refused to restore my data on my Virgin SSD drive.  The error message has complained that my new drive is too small.  It was laughable: my original hard drive was something like 95% of free space.

  8. There is a bonus in all this: by rebuilding your system using the original Windows 8 media, you get a nice fast machine without the excessive Dell bloat-ware.  I do miss the software pre-installed in all.  Glad to get rid of it in fact.

• 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)

• 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

  I don't know Samsung but 2.5 "is inside that you need, SATA III Yes.

  but another highly recommended option is https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/lineup

• 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:

  • Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
  • OWC online Thermal Sensor HDD upgrade 2009-2010 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017OEQKV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1
  • Kingston Technology 2.5 to 3.5 inches support and live for SSD - UTF8 & PSC = 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DGL2X7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=
  • 2 x cable high quality Original SATA 6 GB/s 3 - Gigabyte https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBYOD3E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1

  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
