SSD compatibility

Hi, I want to change HARD drive in my MBP October 2009 and those available today, I chose

Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB, MZ-75E500B

I would like to know if its compatible with my MBP (Oct. 2009, 8 GB of RAM, running HDD SATA 250 GB Hitachi)

Thank you.

P

It will be compatible with your MBP but you will not achieve its full potential due to the SSD as your willing MBP of connectivity SATA2 (SSD is SATA3).  However there will be an improvement in performance still very visible difference.

Ciao.

    Hello

    This notebook is without a doubt SATA III. The size is more or less in your pocket. I prefer Corsair or readers Intel but Samsung and Kingston were also a few good products. I generally recommend buying any SSD with SandForce SATA controllers that readers have faster speed writing and in my opinion even better reliability.

  • SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

    We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

    Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

    htc2010
    is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

    You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

    In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

  • Early 2009 MacBook SSD compatibility

    Hello. My MacBook is early 2009 with 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, 120 GB hard drive. Now OS x 10.6.8 but intend to upgrade to El Capitan.

    I want to spend my hard drive to a Solid State Drive. Transcend SSD370S series is available in my place.

    Can I use the SSD of 256 GB of this series on my MacBook with no problems?

    Here is the link for the site of Transcend. Compatibility list on their Web site does not include Apple laptops.

    http://www.transcend-info.com/products/no-631

    Thank you.

    I have a Macbook in early 2009 and put a Samsung (pre Evo) 840 SSD inside and the speed is incredible, it feels like a brand new computer. Your Macbook has a Nvidia MCP79 SATA 3 Gb/s controller and there is a conflict between the controllers on some SSD only allowing them to operate to SATA 1.5 Gb/s, so you must be careful 6 Gbps. The conflict I know with certainty is with SSD using a Sandforce controller, but recently posted one here in their car with a controller Marvell only running at half speed so there may be others. TranSend uses what they call a TS6500, which is actually a renamed SiliconMotion SM2246EN controller and I can't find the evedience either way if it will work with the SATA 3 Gb speed with the Nvidia controller. Confused yet? I think that the essential is that we put 2015 (2016 ok) technology in 2009 computers and computer terms this year 6 scale is enormous, there may be incompatibilities. Probably the BEST way to avoid is to find a 3Gb SSD or a 6 GB SSD that is guaranteed to work in your Macbook. OWC has a line of 3 GB disks, which are more expensive but guaranteed to work http://eshop.macsales.com/

    If you have to pay a little more to get a compatible drive, it is well worth. Add SSD to my Macbook and my iMac end of 2009 were the best computer improvements I've ever done.

  • T400 Rams and ssd compatibility

    Hi all

    I'm planing to upgrade the ram and the hard drive of my computer laptop lenovo t400.

    Could u pls help me to know what is the only compatible with lenovo t400 ram and ssd?

    Note: I tried to upgrade the ram for lenovo t400 with bus 1333 pc-10600 but that does not .

    Kindly advice.

    Concerning

    RAM = 1066 mhz 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 (although faster ram is also possible, so 1333 mhz and 1666 mhz DDR3 is also correct). But don't use Corsair ram to avoid problems of incompatibility.

    SSD = SATAII (although SATAIII is also backward compatible), 2.5-inch, 9.5/7 mm thick discs.

  • G62-B05SD: SSD compatibility

    My computer laptop ssd is compatible? I want to get an evo to samsung 850. I think that my laptop has sat 1, but I don't know if the BIOS is compatible.

    Hello @Coollin,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post on the SSD and wanted to help you!

    As long as your motherboard support the size of the SSD you want to install, you shouldn't have any problems.  Based on the guide below, your motherboard supports the following:

    HP G62 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide (Chapter 1, Page 2).

    Takes care of 9.5 mm, 6.35 cm (2.5) SATA hard drive

    Accessible customer

    Supports the following readers:

    ● 750 GB, 5400 rpm

    ● 640 GB, 5400 rpm

    ● 500 GB, 5400 rpm

    ● 500 GB, 7200 RPM

    ● 320 GB, 5400 rpm

    ● 250 GB, 5400 rpm

    ● 250 GB, 7200 RPM

    ● 160 GB, 7200 RPM

    Already, the BIOS must be compatible with the SSD, as the motherboard supports SATA.  However, there are options in the BIOS that you may be able to adjust in order to get the best performance from your SSD.  You can view the following for more information, if necessary resources: Solid State Drive (SSD) update - 5 things you need to know

    Could you please send a list of compatible SSD, including who would recommend HP.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    HP has not tested it for your model except 24GO & 32 GB mSATA hiding SSD, which cannot be placed in the system up to 8GB of RAM & I guess that yours has of 16 GB.

    Go through this manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03922401.pdf

    But this does not mean, you can't replace it, there is no problem in the upgrade in the SSD HARD drive.

  • Pavilion DV4-1413TX: SSD compatibility

    Hi, the HARD drive inside my laptop is quite old and slow. I want to replace it with an SSD. Is there a brand or model which is of course compatible with my laptop HP (HP Pavilion DV4-1413TX)? Can you recommend some? Thanks a lot for your help!

    It's the dv4 repair:

    Manual

    For installation instructions, see p. 59.

    You can use any large 2.5-inch SATA SSD. Those who are going to be 7 mm thick, but will always be the bolt in the caddy in place and place a thich 9.5 mm hard drive. Get at least a 240 gig. Something more kid is simply too small to work with and the prices are more reasonable now for larger sizes. On an older machine like yours, you can shop on price because the performance differences aren't really going to be too sensitive. Your laptop's SATA-II, but you should get a SSD SATA-III and will downclock to SATA-II operation will always be incredibly fast compared to a hard disk.

    This is a "negotiation" player available on Amazon with first delivery for less than $60 and would work fine:

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: SSD compatibility

    Hallow, I want to put in place an ssd.

    It can be done, but not easy. Here is the Manual:

    See p. 94. You must remove the top cover, but not the motherboard. You can replace the 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 mm thickness standard hard drive with a 2.5 inches wide 7 mm thick SATA SSD. You can install a 1 TB SSD, if your budget allows.

  • HP Pavilion-G7-1310US: SSD compatibility

    Hello informed people!

    I have a HP Pavilion-G7-1310US of . Intel Core i3 - 2350M to 2.3 GHz. My hard drive makes noise and I fear that it is on it is the last step. The machine is also very slow. I am thinking of wiping clean and go with an SSD. Can someone tell me if there is a compatible SSD? I looked online and can't find discs HP (imagine that) which are very expensive. I think it has a SATA interface but I see in the research, there are many variations of "SATA". Can someone tell me if there is a compatible SSD for this other than the readers of HP machine?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • HP ENVY 15 notebook PC TS: mSATA SSD compatibility

    Hello!  I was wondering if my laptop is mSATA compatible III for my mSATA SSD slot

    I am installing a new mSATA and the manual says (page5) laptop computer supports up to 24 G only, so does this mean I can't add more than 24 G?

    is there any recommendation for what mSATA module which can I buy?

    My product name: laptop HP ENVY 15 TS

    My product number: J1Y24EA #ABU

    Any help will be very appreciated!  Thank you!

    Hello! Well here's how it goes

    The mSATA Slot is only used for as acceleration for A HDD Cache for better system Performance for anything else however you could reformat it for storage if you want, but 24GO is not that much

    If you want to upgrade to an SSD to replace your HARD drive you buy a SSD SATA 2.5 inch

    Who will go in place of your HARD drive in the Bay to start the computer and plug in the SATA cable

    Now to start until the new drive, you must reformat so you have to make or buy a HP recovery for your computer media

    Here is a link on how to do recovery HP Media
