OWC specializes in Mac upgrades.
For the RAM, I'd go with either OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
or crucial. http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/Apple-memory
For the SSD you could also get OWC. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/SSD/Mercury_Electra_3G_Solid_Sta you
I have a Macbook Pro in early 2011 and I use a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB and it works very well.

I have the 13-inch Retina Display early 2015 model. It contains 128 GB SSD and 8 GB of RAM.
I wanted to update both of them. Is this possible? I agree with HARD drive even if that is supported. 128 GB is not enough for me actually.
Help, please.
Without the SSD and RAM are both not upgradable.
One option is to sell your computer and use the money to buy a new one with the features you need.
There are two options to add an HD card to your card HD slot. Both options will be flush with the case.

Is like installing a SSD and update the Ram to the maximum limit. What does exactly. Thanks in advance
Hello
Procedures for changes to the RAM and the hard disk, are detailed in the manual, the maximum supported 8 GB 2 x 4 is not so good cheap to be more old DDR2 SODIMM

Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions
Hello
I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.
(1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.
(2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.
Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA
Chipset: AMD A70M FCH
CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10
Thank you!
It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.

Pavilion dv7t-3300: weird behavior after adding the SSD and RAM upgrade
Has just added a new HD SSD to my note as "disk 1"(the former one is 'disk 0', he has a Win. " 8.1 works). Installed Win. 10 in the new drive and everything has worked well so far. I tried to upgrade the memory, so I bought two Crucial DDR3 1333 with 8 GB memory each, the previos configuration were two 2 GB memory (4 GB total).
The question is: If you use a single memory (8 GB) everything looks Ok. If I add the other (16 GB total), the new SSD is not recognized, but the old man works as usual. The new drive is not yet recognized after botting from the former (not even from the Disk Manager). Already tried to drag the disks with no luck. There seems to be something with the memory, since everything works with a memory of 8 GB or with two 2 GB memory, but with two memoirs of 8Gb the new SSD seems to be dead
Advice or similar experiences? Is there something that I am missing?
So much worse... the SSD seems to be broken or something similar. Does not work on the other PC, then... I guess that this has nothing to do with the memory
BTW, the 16 GB are works fine

Satellite L500D - SSD and RAM upgrade question
Hello
Who are you? Ttime for some great upgades for this laptop and some few questions and I'll be happy to answer for me.
1. is there an empty space to install a second hard drive SSD?
2. If there is not can put off the hard drive DVD and in the empty space to fit an SSD? I need something like that? ---> fb4d http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-Card-2-5-Serial-ATA-SATA-SSD-HDD-UDMA-Adapter-/190537923405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5cf1
This is an adapter.3. the quantity of RAM max supported Satellite L500D? I installed 2GB and I have an extra plug and I want to install a single 4 GB RAM and 6 GB RAM total
Its sounds good to you this idea? I thank you and have a nice day
Hey,.
As you can see on the underside of the laptop doesn t supports a second HDD because there is no second Bay HARD drive on the underside.
The map you posted is unofficial so no one can say whether it compatible s part or not. For laptops Satellite AFAIK there is no CD/DVD Bay adapter, but you can ask a provider of service authorized for more details.The maximum RAM capacity depends on your phone model correct. L500D was delivered with different hardware, so you must post your exact model laptop number.

Hey people,
I want to improve my lapotop hp (pavilion dv6-2138 core i5 M430 2.27 GHz), 8 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD HD.
Will it work on this laptop?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, it will be.

You need 2 of them:
4096 MB, 1066 MHz DDR-3 DIMM 579156-001
Any SATA 2.5 inch SSD will suggest working and I have the 250 gig. A concert 128 is a bit of containment and not much cheaper:

Satellite U300 - help hardware upgrade to SSD and RAM
Hello world
I want to completely upgrade my toshiba satellite U300-140, mount VISTA and default the technical features, posted above.I need your help to choose the best (and economic) device SSD and RAM slot. It is very important for me to know what is probably compatible with my device. Please, could you help me in your experience?
And... an SSD is worthy, at the speed of my laptop? I was thinking about kingston 120 Gb or 240 GB V300
http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Lite-U300-14O/
According to specification for laptop, you can be upgraded up to 4 GB RAM in order to use 2 x 2 GB of RAM. The compatible RAM modules have PA3513U-1M2G part number.
I think with SSD, you shouldn't have any problems. I updated my old P500 with 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD and it works perfectly.

SSD and RAM on my W530 installation will void the warranty?
SSD and RAM on my W530 installation will void the warranty?
Adil is correct. The RAM and hard drive are considered "replaceable consumer units", which means Lenovo allows not only, but expect end users to manage any updates of these components by themselves.

HP Pavilion dv6 6c51ea: upgrade of the dv6 6c51ea ssd and ram wifi card
Hello
As of late I thought the upgrade or replace my laptop, but I have a few questions to help me decide.
First ram cited the speed of the processor is listed as 1066/1333 hz, however I can not check it on the site of hp and the crucial site recommend ddr3 at 1600 hz, the site hp also says is that 8 GB however apparently due to the fact that it was released on Windows 7 However the processor can support 16 GB max memory support and since upgrading to win 10 my system would be doing, is this correct?
What kind of improvements I see by installing an ssd (Samsung evo 850) 500 GB?
And finally the wifi card could be readily available and upgraded to the new ac wifi to use the router to HQ and speeds mon is provides and I pay!
So basically will be the ssd, 2 x 8 GB 1600 mhz sodimm ram, and a wifi amd card equipped for the £300 it cost would he give me the jump in performance for his money as the cpu and gpu are rather dated now (i5 2450 m and radeon 7470 m) when a new system with an i5 4th gen with 1 GB graphics , 500 GB and 16 GB of ram, ssd would cost about £900 what would be the main benefits
Thank you very much
ShottI stand well partially corrected. The 8 gig RAM max was on the technical page of HP and the maintenance manual says maximum 16 concerts. As you note, it will run at 1333 mhz, but yes you can install 16 gigs and upgrade to Windows 10 made no difference there. You may installed 16 concerts with all 64-bit operating systems.
Here is the Manual:
Page 28 - 29 a the list of supported wireless adapters EXCEPT the
Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN 631956-001
a mistake is well-documented. The part number is actually a single band card Ralink and other versions of HP of the 6230 Advanced-N used in some business models will not work in your laptop. We beat this horse dead on many posts here.

HP 15-r101nl: 15-r101nl HD and Ram upgrades
First of all sorry for my English now the warranty has expired I tried to upgrade the internal HD with an SSD and increase the Ram of 4 GB to 8 GB. I just want to know if it is possible for this model, following the instructions in the service manual to do. The other question concerns the ram: I'll need to buy another stick of 4 GB or I need to replace it with a single module of 8 GB? In the specific would be nice a DDR3L 12800 (1600 Mhz) 8 GB?
Thank you all in advance
Your Service Manual:
You have an i5 processor, so there are 2 memory slots but the really bad news for you is that access to these means of slots, remove the motherboard which is a lot of work not for the faint of heart or shadetree mechanic. See p. 76 of the manual.
This is the part number for the recommended 4 GB module

I recently bought a HP Split X 2 of Best Buy, and I like it so far. I read in the preliminary comments for this product that the CPU can be i3 or i5, RAM can be upgraded up to 8 GB and a hard drive can be placed in the keyboard. I realize that it is a new product, but is anyone know yet if these upgrades can be done after purchase? My Split X 2 is now configured with 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB memory SSD and an i3.
Thank you for your attention.
Hello
It's a list of the available configurations:
http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/ads/X2/compare.html
I think that the keyboard is too thin for a HDD normal and based on the following link you can ONLY put SD card keyboard (item #4):
There are a few different screen sizes and the model 13.3 " has more options than others. You can find more information from the following document including how yo RAM upgrade:

problems with wireless after the motherboard, cpu and ram upgrade adapters
As the title says, I have recently updated my card mother, cpu and ram (increased from Asrock extreme6 z77/i7 3770 k/Kingston 8 gb hyperx for EVGA ftw/i5 z97 4670 k/g. Skill ripjaw x 16 gb). I always use the same installation of Windows 7 64 via the same SSD. After I was installing new equipment, I used the disc that comes with the motherboard and installed all the drivers that were available (twice, just to be safe). All the features of the OS I had before seem to be there except to exit Device Manager to correctly install the drivers for my wireless (Linksys AE1000 and TP Link N900) adapters. I downloaded the current driver for the Linksys Web site and I have the disc for the TP-Link and I tried several times to install, but keep the same message ' Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it. Device Manager recognizes the device and it is not any question of State symbol (IE yellow triangle, etc.) that is displayed in conjunction with an adapter. I tried disable/re-enabling and uninstall/re-installing times and keep having the same problem. I tried to search in several forums of people with similar problems, but none of the resolutions seem to work or are suitable for my situation. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello
When you upgrade your motherboard, cpu and ram, drivers for particular devices may not be related to other drivers. That's why I suggest you to install all the drivers for the chipset from the manufacturers website and see if that helps.

Satellite S3000-214: HD and RAM upgrade
I want to upgrade a Satellite S3000-214 with a new hard drive and RAM.
Anyone know how I can upgrade the HD? It is currently only 20 GB.
About the RAM, I tried to upgrade before but abandoned after Misco sent me upgrades wrong a few times. Does anyone know a supplier who could have a sales team could sell me the good memory?Any help would be appreciated.
It is possible to upgrade the HDD up to 30 GB.
The BIOS should recognize this format without any problem. You can use a simple 2.5 bus master IDE HDD.It is also possible a memory upgrade for max 1024 MB
