Satellite P870 - add SSD hard drive is possible? Is it compatible?

Hello world

I would like to know if you could add an SSD of 256 GB HDD (1 TB) default or not. This upgrade will not work with the default system? Is this system will work well or it may cause technical problems in time?

Please let me know what you think about it. Even if there is a risk very little in the present, I might change my mind.

I look forward to your feedback soon.

Kind regards
PNouma

Hello

The SSD should be compatible you need to use a SATA SSD drive since the phone supports a SATA controller
In some cases an update firmware of SSD may be necessary, but this info should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

    What capacity of hard drive used in this laptop

    Hello

    Satellite A60 is a little older series and I think that the laptop supports the IDE HDD controller
    Perhaps the HARD disk controller support for only 28 bit LBA, which means that only 128 GB would be recognized by the BIOS.

    I think a 120 GB HDD should work but I'm not sure if the biggest hard drives would be supported due to mentioned m 28-bit LBA

    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.

  • Envy 17 t-j000 caddy tray support SSD hard drive

    So, I have an ENVY 17 t-j000 Quad Edition on order. Only ordered with 1 HDD that I intend who move to the secondary place and put an SSD to the main square.

    According to the manual online, it seems that readers of screw in a shopping cart / tray / support any and in need of an adapter for the connector.

    Because I bought it with only 1 car. Does this mean he won't the tray with the adapter to install a 2nd drive?

    And if so, where can I get this caddy and connector adapter? I really hope that it comes with it as I made it very clear on the phone I buy with 1 only drive and add a 2nd drive on my own.

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?type=prod&SearchText=E0K82UA

    I spend 1 hour on the phone and bounced between 3 people, each had to wait on hold for as a new call. No one could help me. They finally told me to call the HP parts store, which of course is now closed. And is only open MF 7 a - 7 p CST. 1-800-227-8164

    The link above is for the model J000 Quad Edition.

    I think that I need the Kit material of HARD drive and possibly the screws indicated in the same section. Although I do not know why the screws would not be included in the "Kit".

    720237-001 HDD HARDWARE KIT $30,40
    720260-001 SCREW $14.16

    Wow, if I really need the screws too, it's a crazy price for screws. $30 is also a crazy price for a cable and rubber.

    What makes me more upset that I'm going to make a huge deal is that I explicitly said their phone order when the laptop custom configured, that I was going to add a SSD drive myself.

    They should have told me that the system is in need of these parts. For so much money, I would spend the $60 (less the discount coupon) to upgrade to dual hard drives. Which would give me these pieces with two pre-installed drives. And then I would have just replaced one with a SSD and sold new HARD drive on ebay or on site. Easily covering the cost of the upgrade of the disk. And I wouldn't have to wait to get parts or went through all that effort to source a part that must be included with the laptop. What is the point of the laptop having 2-Bay disk for the upgrade if it does not come with the owners parts be used?

    Yet once, very upset that this issue has not been addressed when I talked to 2 different people when ordering my custom laptop. I spent a lot of effort in pre-sales questions to ensure he had 2 bays for hard drives to add an SSD.

    And why in the world these pieces about 10 times more than they should? This is a new laptop. It's not as if these parts are for cell old abandoned.

  • 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

    In your Satellite A100 HDD is SATA 1 and it was delivered with 120 GB max.
    I tested my old Satellite M70 260 GB SATA HARD drive and it works perfectly, so I think that you can now pass HDD with up to 300 GB for example.

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

  • 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.

  • External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

    Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

    Framework

    -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

    -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

    -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

    -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

    -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

    Problem

    -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

    -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

    -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

  • Satellite A210-ICO - what HARD drive I can use?

    I'm getting bad sectors on the hard drive of my laptop, so I guess I should pay for a new one – but who are able to A210-1CO?

    TA, M

    Hello

    Satellite A210 uses SATA hard drives and you need a new HARD drive with SATA interface. You can buy each HARD drive you want, for example 160 or 320 GB. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    In addition, most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its compatible downgrade to SATA1.
    I would have preferred a HARD disk at 5400 RPM. Of course, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but they produced more heat and noise. For most of the applications are pretty 5400 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.
