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:

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  • Need to replace the hard drive on laptop G56

    Hi all

    I have a hp g56-108sa laptop. I had the hard drive replaced once under warranty and there yet again, but I don't want to not wait 10 days so he could be replaced again if I want to get a new drive hard but with a greater capacity (mine is 250 GB and I'm looking for ay buying a 320 GB one) , and I want to replace. Is this feasible?

    I ordered a few partners hp recovery disks that I stupidly didn't create a when I had the chance. The reason I ask this question, it is that I've read that other people have had problems by replacing the original drive with the largest on laptops

    Thank you in anticipation

    Pat

    Hello

    You should have no problem with a 320 GB HARD drive, the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    Hard drive 320 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, just use the recovery disks you ordered to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - they will also recreate the Partition D of recovery on the new 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.

    .... I want to replace my drive with Seagate BarraCuda SSHD HARD original...

    Hello

    Yes, your machine can operate with SSHD. But Seagate BarraCuda SSHD is NOT SSD, it's slightly better than the HARD drive because it has more cache. People say that it is something between SSD and HDD, but still a long way to be similar to the SSD.

    No point in paying money (even it is not expensive) to get a little better. Why not go directly to the SSD, the price may be double, but you get all the benefits in terms of price/performance. You can use Samsung or Crucial or SanDisk...

    Kind regards.

  • Replace SSD HARD drive

    I want to replace the HARD original (HITACHI) with a Crucial MX200 SSD drive in my mid 2010 White unibody MacBook but I'm confused because on the current HARD disk is write "Apple HDD Firmware" and I'm afraid of change because on my iMac (mid-2010), I just change HARD drive with a new and fans is going too fast.

    MacBook are not concerned with issues of fan as some old iMac. Safely, you can replace the HDD with a SSD in a Macbook and have no problem fan.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

    This does not work with all models of laptops.
    As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

    One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

    You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
    Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

    The comments appreciated.
