  Hello!

  In my opinion, it could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. I mean you have tried another drive and the computer laptop doesn t read this disc too.
  So for me it sounds like this drive is also defective.

  But as Akuma said you should also check the SATA Mode in the BIOS.

  I think the best way would be to contact you nearest ASP. They can check a defective hardware for laptop parts and Exchange. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.

• Replace the SSD 2015 MBP retina

  Purchased the base early 2015 retina MBP (was on a real budget) and I'm looking to replace the SSD with a larger SSD.  I read on various forums that this can be done, but that nobody makes compatible SSD yet... However, these positions have been since around about a year ago.  Has this changed?  Is it possible to buy an SSD and replace my existing and if so, where?  Can't seem to find anything on ifixit.com, I saw mentioned OWC.

  Thank you!

  Now, there is no replacement for the SSD for Macbook Pro retina 13 or 15 (2015) as Apple use a non-standard interface of its SSD.

  The most economical way to clean large SSDS such as 512 GB or 1 TB on the last Macbook pro is to customize your rMBP when you bought from Apple so far.

• Can I replace the SSD HARD drive in my sve15123cv

  Hello

  I use sve15123cv, I want to replace the SSD HARD drive. Is this possible?

  Which SSD is good?

  Hi zunnun,.

  Thank you for visiting the Sony community!

  It is possible, but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any problem. You need to consider certain things such as the specification of the HARD drive, thickness or dimension of the SSD that you plan to install first. Your Vaio SVE15123CV is a non American model. Unfortunately, we do not have full details and specifications of your machine. However, you can coordinate with the Sony support based on your location or where you bought the device.

  For further assistance about your concern, please contact the representative offices of offices/Sony Sony nearest your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to the proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

• HP 700-330qe: how to disable or replace the SSD on HP 700-330qe

  Help for my HP 5 months! It kills Me!

  I bought a HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon and just started getting SMART of Windows hard disk errors whenever my computer restarts, telling me that the hard drive failure is imminent. He also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, save it, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never seen it in any PC I owned before. Naturally, I freaked out and did some internet research, discover that it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new hard drive Western Digital 3 TB of Amazon, a docking station for disc brand cable hard of Amazonia and downloaded the Macrium Reflect free disk management software.

  Items from Amazon arrived in a few days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, it opens and replaced the old hard disk with a new one. Start the computer to the top and got the same message on imminent hard drive failure! So I paid more attention to it this time and looked up the model number in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM - 016 G-1006. I Googled that and found it was the disk solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh.

  I stuck my old hard drive in the hard drive docking station and was ready to be cloned partition SSD and all partitions on the hard drive to the hard drive and the removal or at least unplug the SSD drive to get rid of this problem. The software told me that the SSD is shaped as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive, formatting, so you cannot copy these different types of partitions on a hard drive.

  So here's my options as I see them:

  (1) I have to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will always start the same. Windows is partially installed on SSD? I do not know.

  (2) to clone and replace the DSS about the same way I did with the main hard drive. I can get the SSD according to Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60 GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (height of 7mm) with adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A / 60G.

  For the option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM SSD of ScanDisk is currently installed in my computer! It is in the hard drive cage? I don't see anything else installed there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think that what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I don't have on CD Player installed and I can see where it is. Help!

  PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and it allows to analyze the SSD drive. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (on tens of thousands of blocks), but when he finished the analysis it says there is a lot of blocks. For this to happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than hard disks of small, to make this so much more aggravating situation. At least, I upgraded my hard drive 2 TB to 3 TB and know now that I can do. Sigh.

  Yes, I had a frusrtrating very experience with HP customer support, even after it was raised to a case manager based in the United States, who called me home. She found no part at all in its computer system and wanted to send me in my whole PC to a service center customer (it was still under warranty) which would take at least 3 weeks. I said no and went forward and the DSS out of my computer. I stopped receiveing the error messages and did not notice a slow down in performance, but went ahead and bought and installed this one, just in case it actually provides an advantage: My Digital 32 GB SSD Bullet Proof (on Amazon for $25).

  As a note to end funny to this drama, about 6 months after my discussion with HP support I describe above, I have randomly mailed an envelope of HP with the exact 16 GB SSD, they said that they didn't in their system. It also included an envelope to return my faulty SSD and a stern note saying if they do not receive the defective item within 3 days my credit card (that I never gave them) would be charged. I threw a long time ago the defective item and just throw it back into a drawer... or maybe that I returned it in the envelope for return of defective product? I don't remember really.

  In any case, it was a horrible customer service experience, and since then I have another HP Envy (my PC 3 year to my son) have a hard drive and video card fail at the same time. I replaced the two after a few problems, but no matter what I do, it can get its setup dual monitor want to work more. I tried several video cards and nothing.

  All of these factors combined caused me write off HP for the future PC purchases. The guys in my company IT say it's the reason why we only buy Dell computers at work (we have hundreds of maintain). They do not use strange pieces like these small SSD cache records, and their parts are standard and easy to replace because of the case. I'll either get a Dell or ASUS as my next PC.

• HP ENVY 17-j101ex - replace the SSD HARD drive

  Hello

  I have HP ENVY 17-j101ex, with the standard configuration: 2 x 1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM SATA. I want to buy 1 SSD drive and replace the first (boot) hard disk drive. I don't know if it works or not.

  I want to buy a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SATA III (MZ-7TE250BW), 2.5 ", dimensions: 100 x 69 x 7 mm

  I have to: 1 x 1 TB HARD drive (as a secondary drive) + 1 x 250 GB SSD SATA3 (as your startup with system disk)

  Is this ok?

  I found some info, that:

  Supports a 6.35 cm (2.5 in) 300 GB or 160 GB SSD (SSD) drive in 7, 0 - mm (. 28 - in.) thick

  Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks to 12.7 mm (. 50-in) and a height of 9.5 mm (. 37 - in)

  Is it not this Samsung SSD too big?

  I also found information on envy 17 series, which:

  Supports the following single hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations:
  ● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 12.7-mm hard drive × 1 + 300-GB solid-state drive
  

  and also:

  NOTE: Supports RAID-0 as default for all dual hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations.
  

  So, first of all should I disable RAID-0?

  Thank you for your help and sorry for my English

  In fact, I have the same model laptop PC series. You will have no problem replacing the mechanical main hard drive with an SSD. The Evo to Samsung 250 Gig is a very good choice. I suggest you get cloning software, put the SSD in the second slot, start from cloning software and copy (clone) the startup disk for the SSD. You'll slim down the contenst of the diskette of starting less than 250 concerts to achieve, but you can store files off to the second disk of 1 TB in the process. There are other ways to do this post if you have any questions.

  Here is a video showing how to install the hard drive.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wx3dMGXrGCc

  RAID-0 is supported, but you wouldn't want as a second hard drive with an SSD. If your readers are appearing as volumes of letters separated in 'the PC' or 'Computer' then RAID-0 does not exist and you shouldn't have to do any disorder in the BIOS.

• Satellite Z930-12Z - add RAM and replace the SSD

  Hi all

  I'm new here and read some articles also on the Z930-12Z Satelite but I have two questions on the Satellite Z930-12Z:

  1. What is the maximum RAM for Satellite Z930-12Z? There are two locations inside or accommodation?
  I read this blog, but I don't understand if there are two slots or a slot...
  https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread...Llite-Z930-12Z

  2. could I change the SSD? Is there a maximum GB for SSDS for my Ultrabook? No matter what SSD I install?

  I had these SSDS:
  2.1 Kingston SMS200S3 / 480 G SSD 480 GB (6.4 cm (2.5 '' mSATA)
  2.2 MZ-M5E500BW Samsung SSD 500 GB (mSATA)

  No matter what SSD I install?

  Thank you in advance!

  Rebecca Bugday

  Two DIMM slots with 16 GB support apparently. You won't need 16 GB. Take a set of 2 x 4 GB RAM dual channel, I'll leave a link to a few good things that I use for my cell phone 16 GB

  http://www.ebuyer.com/646124-HyperX-...1779&PKW=&Pmt=

  Also, Yes, of course, you can change the SSD, you will need to get some kind of USB 3.0 in the first mSATA interface and clone the existing drive overall, because laptops do not want fresh windows install.

• Qosmio X 500-122 - how to replace the SSD drive?

  Hello

  My 64 GB is really small, because I have a lot of software to run on it.

  Could you tell me:
  -What SSD drive adapts to this computer?
  -How do I change it?

  I tried to get help from the Toshiba support but you don't even have an answer.

  Thank you in advance for your help.

  Hey Buddy,

  All disks are placed on the underside. This means that SSD and HDD can be exchanged if return you the laptop and remove the cover from the SSD/HDD which is fixed by two screws. If you remove these screws, you can exchange the SSD.

  All SSD 2.5 are compatible. The laptop supports the SATA interface so there is no capacity limit and you can buy each SSD. Also there is no certain brand you have to buy because everything will work.
  As far as I know OCZ and G.Skill make good SSD.  :)

  The best consumer SSD there is a Samsung 850 Evo. It will have the same physical dimensions as a hard drive. 2.5 inches wide and 7 mm thick. A 7mm form factor fits anywhere the will of 9.5 mm. The connectors and mounting holes are in the same places so that they are interchangeable.

• How much will cost to fix the SSD on a MacBook Pro 13 of retina?

  Recently the SSD on my MacBook Pro of retina starts to die since I move 350mpbs writing and reading 500mbps. I think to replace the SSD it myself but I don't know where to find relevant and I don't know M.2 SSD since they come in different fittings etc... I missed the guarantee of 2 weeks! I'm in the United Kingdom, btw. Thank you.

  Go to the Genius Bar.  SSD form factor resembles mSATA and M2, but the interface is not one of the "common" protocols

  Download a good backup.  Enter Apple to have checked equipment.  May not be as bad as you think... we are just users like you and do not want to provide false estimates.

• Portege R500 - can I change the SSD?

  Hello. The question of replacement, replace the ssd.

  I myself PORTEGE R500 (PPR50U-02M01W version) with SAMSUNG_MCCOE64GQMPQ_SE805B0137. He has only 64 GB.

  I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace by something big, they said it's impossible! HOW DO I? It should be possible to replace the 64 GB SSD 256 GB SSD!

  If anyone can give me the link to SSD, who's going to fit 100% into my existing ssd will be very grateful!

  > I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace by something big, they said it's impossible! HOW DO I? It should be possible to replace the 64 GB SSD 256 GB SSD!

  And why wouldn't this possible? The technician said that?
  To my knowledge, it should be possible to use any disk SSD because SSD drives use the same interface as ordinary hard drives

  As far as I know there is a common controller SATA and SSD with SATA interface should work

  That s in my opinion

• Cannot create recovery media after installing the SSD on Pavilion TS 11-e100

  Hello

  I just replaced the SSD HARD drive and tried to make a USB support of recovery through 8.1 recovery utility. The process takes strangely little time, but finishes normally have reported that the media are created. The size of all the files on the flash is about 200 MB. When I made the same support with disk size was 12 GB. I tried to start with than flash and it failed with a message on a damaged or similar medium. I always thought that windows does not take into account the physical structure of the disc and can not understand what is happening and what to do.

  Hello

  I use HP Recovery manager to create a recovery media for my machine ready and my wife. I use another software to clone HARD disks for other machines after any big change for example after moving from Windows 8 to 8.1, I create a clone which means I can't do it again, simply restore it back. Use a software called O & O DiskImage clone but the following free software can do the job:

• 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?

  Re: SSDS  (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)

  FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

• Replacing the CD/DVD with SSD

  Hi, I have a mid-2009 13 "Macbook, and I plan to replace the CD/DVD drive (which it doesn't) with an SSD, instead of replacing it with a new CD player.

  I would move so that OSX and software on the new SSD, leaving other data on my main hard drive. I read that the best solution is to install OSX on the SSD from scratch, since migration it seems impossible, but how then I could remove the 'duplicate' old of my HDD main OSX?
  The entire migration process is not quite clear to me, I wouldn't mind some step by step instructions.

  Thank you in advance!

  1st, I did it on an iMac, so I went through it.

  You can use a utility cloning as Carbon Copy clone (demo fully active 1 month) or SuperDuper free (free for a full clone) to move your boot disk for SSD and it will be fully functional.  In my case, I used Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is even technically possible to use the Applications-> utilities-> disk utility-> restoration as a means to clone the drive, but I find it cumbersome.

  <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html>

  <https://www.bombich.com/>

  I think you could also just restore a backup Time Machine for the SSD as well (although I did not do that, so I don't know the details).

  You can do a clean install and get rid of any cruft you've accumulated over the years and then install only the stuff that you are currently using.

  Or you could do a clean install and then use the Applications-> utilities-> Migration Wizard move above specific categories of files of initial startup disk.

  After you have the SSD running with your software on it, consider allowing TRIM

  <http://www.imore.com/os-x-10104-and-trim-support-should-you-turn-it>

  I used OWC <http://MacSales.com> kit data-Doubler to replace my iMac DVD by an SSD.  They provided everything I needed.  I chose a kit including the tools I needed.  I also watched the OWC installation videos, as well as on YouTube to become familiar with the installation.  And I had a copy of the instructions to disassembly <http://iFixIt.com> and images to print for reference, while doing the installation.  I would have recorded any screws that I removed the instructions that told me to remove that screw then I would make sure I would put the correct screws into the appropriate holes.
