• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• Satellite A100 - compatibility SSD drive and recommendations?

  Hello.
  I want to replace the original HARD drive in my Satellite A100-811 with an SSD.
  What are the parameters for search? I can just about any 2.5 "SATA II SSD on the market?
  Intel X 25 - M Mainstream SATA SSD 160 GB G2 is compatible?
  Are there recommendations for Toshiba?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  A100 controller SATA HDD support.
  Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop as part of a SATA SSD drive.
  But I also read that not all laptops can properly manage the SSD drive.
  In some cases the SSD update the firmware of the player might help.
  So I can't say with certainty that the new SSD will work properly and that the BIOS would properly recognize the SSD.
  I think you'll need to test the SSD drive
  You could order it on Amazon and could test, in the worst case you could send again
  I did it too with some RAM modules that didn t work in my notebook.

  Please post some details if these updates succeeded or not, it would be interesting to know if you can use it in your A100 because I would use a SSD drive too

• Installation of SSD drive and the noise of the fan to the MacBook Pro?

  Hello

  Just replaced the stock 5400 RPM HARD drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2012 with an SSD 480 GB Sandisk and now the fan makes a loud noise. Sounds like it's revving at full speed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Thank you.

  You can try Macs with Intel processors: System management controller (SMC) reset and see if that fixes the problem. Unless you make a mistake in the reassembly, the two should be independent. On the other hand, it could be something in the design of the SSD. Personally, I would like to replace it with an OWC or OCZ.

  To check if the two are somehow connected try to replace the old HDD to see if the fan slows down. If it then reinstalls the SSD, making attention to do correctly and re - test. See how to install the ribbon cable short connecting the drive to the motherboard. It's easy to get the pins on the misaligned ribbon cable.

• HP 15 Notebook PC: HARD SSD drive, and can my laptops support more ram

  Product name: HP 15 laptop

  Product number: K6C60EA #ABU

  8.1 Windows 64-bit

  I have a 1 TB 5400 rpm HDD Samsung and 8 DDR3L RAM.

  I want to change this (HDD) for a

  Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5 "SSD

  Is that a good choice, my budget is less than £80.

  Also can I have an upgrade of RAM, my processor States the max is 8 GB, but I saw some processor be able to handle more than its limit.

  Here is a link to the service manual for your model, the 15-r160sa:

  Manual

  Study this carefully. See p. 59. In order to access the hard drive, you must remove the entire cover. There is no easy access panel. You want to endanger the guarantee, but yes, the hard drive can be replaced with an SSD and that you have chosen is in my opinion, the best on the market.

  With respect to memory, your laptop uses the Intel® Pentium® N3540, which is a "Bay Trail" processor. This means a few things. First of all, see page 2 of the Manual:

  1 or 2 customer accessible/upgradable memory module slots (depending on model) 2 slots: DDR3L - 1600 MHz Dual Channel Support (Core processors) 1 location: DDR3 1333 MHz Dual Channel Support (DDR3L 1600 retrograde to the DDR3-1333) (Trail Bay processors)

  So there is a slot of memory in your laptop and most it can take is 8 GB. Also, the memory is still harder to get than the hard drive. demanding the withdrawal of the motherboard.

  Please post back with any additional questions.

• Can I add a third hard drive to h9 Pavilion HPE currently have an SSD drive and a SATA drive?

  HP Pavilion HPE h9 (Phoenix), win 7 64

  Can I add a third SATA drive to my system?  The specs say three bays are available, but when I ordered it I could not add a third (or greater than 1 TB drives).  Is there something on the SSD that changes the spacing of the drive Bay?  I prefer not to take the walk outside if there is no way to add another drive.

  Hello

  Please report the number of HP for your PC product.

  You review this article and video?  You will need to remove the cage hard disk to install the third hard disk. In general, the SSD is in the middle of each side mounting with HDDs of 3.5 ".  Hard drive cage is made for three hard disks.

  The specifications indicate theProvisioning for three hard drives on this particular model. The firm seems to be the same as the other two models HPE H9.

• Run Windows 10 from an external SSD drive? Yes, it works!

  That's what I did to make it work. The whole process takes about 45 minutes, but I think that it really is worth it if you want to run quick and clean Windows 10 on your iMac.

  What you need:

  • An SSD external - data is deleted
  • An iMac 27 "(end of 2013 in my case)

  Temporarily, for the installation, you will also need:

  • A computer with Windows 7, 8 or 10 to copy the correct files on the SSD drive and make it bootable
  • A computer running with OS X download BootCamp
  • A USB - data is erased

  First, in Windows, you get a file ISO for Windows 10. You can use the media to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 authoring tool and choose to save it as ISO file (do not create a USB bootable media).

  1. Double-click on the. ISO file. This will mount the disk to install on a disk (in my case, the letter E).
  2. Connect the SSD drive to a free USB port
  3. Open an administrator command prompt and type:
     1. DiskPart
     2. list disk (to identify your external SSD drive number)
     3. select disk 2 (or another number to your external SSD drive, make sure you do not erase your internal drive, usually on 0).
     4. clean - be careful, if you have selected the wrong disc, erase all the data on it
     5. create part pri
     6. Quick format
     7. assign letter = O (or another letter if already used)
     8. assets
     9. output
     10. DISM/apply-image /imagefile:"E:\sources\install.esd" / index: 1 /ApplyDir:Y:------(change E to another letter for the ISO file mounted)
     11. BCDBOOT. EXE Y:\WINDOWS/s Y:/f BIOS (so that the boot in the BIOS only drive (not EFI))
     12. output
     13. Eject all disks properly or simply shut down your PC.

  Then on your Mac, open the wizard BootCamp (click on Launchpad and type "bootcamp" to find) and check ONLY "download the latest software of Apple's Windows support. Save it on your USB thumb drive. Stop your iMac. Remove the USB key and keep it in your hand.

  Turn on your iMac by pressing the option (alt) key. You will see an orange icon with Windows. Select this option and wait until you see 'Getting ready devices', wait a little longer until you hear the startup chime and press the option (alt) key to make sure that start you on the external hard drive. That's all!

  Now you have a copy of Windows from your external USB drive. You just need to install the BootCamp drivers on your USB (\Bootcamp\Setup.exe). Reset.

  Oh, you have 10 Windows running natively on your beautiful iMac.

  Enjoy!

  The answer is in the response. I don't know how to post a tip!

• Satellite R630 - 11L - sometimes did not recognize the SSD drive

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite R630 - 11L and I just bought a Corsair F120 SSD for her, but my laptop a few times did not recognize the SSD drive and fails to start occurs. I searched on the Internet concerning the issue, but there are any topic related to my problem. in recent days, I have updated my bios but the problem remains. for example if I put the computer to sleep and he never wake ups as it should be. the blue windows screen 7 failure comes and an error message 'could not access the windows volume. If portable succesful started without problem occurs until I reeboot the computer. so most of the time I have to restart computer about 5 - 6 times to work normal. At the same time, I opened a topic on the corsair website. They told me to test my drive on another computer, so I test it on laptops, dell and hp to my friends, but there is no any problem don't like this.

  So I test my ssd on an another toshiba laptop R630 which has a different hardware configurations, the problem remains that laptop too...

  So I think toshiba may provide a bios update to fix this problem. This laptop really great, so I don't want to buy another.

  y at - it advice to solve this problem?

  concerning

  Hi machka,.

  > I think that here is the toshiba support forum. is not here?
  Here he s a Toshiba forum, that of right, but you can only chat with normal users like you and me. You will not find someone from Toshiba here.
  The forum is provided Toshiba but for Toshiba users to exchange experience on different products.

  So I think that the Quad is just. No one can say that every SSD is compatible with all computers. You need to understand this!
  There are hundreds of different players and computers on the market and I m sure that no one can test a new computer with all SSD on the market. This is not possible, because it takes a lot of time and more expensive laptops that I think.

  So if the SSD doesn't work, there is nothing that you can wait for the BIOS update.
  Otherwise, you must purchase another SSD. Alternatively, you can ask a service provider allowed in your country, maybe that technicians have already experience with some SSD in Satellite R630. Just ask for that, they are the first contact for you! :)

• Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

  Hello

  I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
  The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

  We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

  Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
  Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
  Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

  There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

  > Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

  I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
  You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

• In Predator 710-G3 SSD drive

  Can Helle when and where I find the disc SSD 237 GB preinstalled in my G3-710 Predator. Newly installed another 237 GB SSD drive and could not find it. Where is the devil. Of course, the additional SSD drive would not be good without accurate right holders in the quick slot so I installed in the box instead.

  Thanks, will check this place.

• C drive and D drive reverse

  I just bought an Acer Aspire V Nitro, but I was already low on disk after installation of space a few apps. Looking at my readers, it seems that the C and the D are flopped - I have a set of TB of data on the D: drive and virtually nothing on the C: drive.

  Because they seem to be different physical drives, I can't just shrink D: and extend C: instead of him - when I reduce D:, it won't let me extend C: instead. Is it possible to return the readers so that all the stuff drive 'C' including the start-up is going on in what is now my drive "D"? It's something I want to difficulty while my computer is still less than 24 hours.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  

  they are not reversed, they are correct.

  C: is a SSD drive and this will speed up your operating system and you can install some programs that require quick access to data.

  D: is a HARD disk and it is planned as a storage drive, so that you can install the programs who need big storages (like games) or save your personal data

  so if you need to install a lot of things, just say the program installer to install data on D: (you can just change C: to the installation path of D :)

• How can I move my XP OS to a new drive and make the boot drive

  My PC is a desktop PC DELL which is about 6 - 7 years.  It runs XP Pro SP3, Windows 2010 and contains 4 GB of RAM.  I recently bought a SLC of X 25 - E Intel 32 GB SSD drive and the new drive installed in my PC.  My PC recognizes it as drive "F:".  My "C:" drive is SATA 2 75 GB HDD usng RAID 0. My goal is to move the operating system and other relevant files for the SSD drive and make the startup disk so that I can enjoy the pick-up speed to have an SSD intalled.  I tried looking on the internet but couldn't find information about cloning a whole disk.

  Can anyone provide assistance?  Or is my PC so old that it is more feasible for a novice?

• Try to migrate from the hard disk for ssd drive

  Hello, 4 days ago I bought dell inspiron with windows 8.1 5748 and a 1 TB hard drive.

  I also bought samsung 250 GB of ssd drive 840EVO to replace the disk of 1 TB of the laptop. I cloned the HARD disk drive and restored the image in the ssd drive and when I mounted the SDS disc and shot to the top of the laptop I got an error that it cannot detect a drive... Press F2 to enter setup F5 for diagnostics and F1 to reboot.

  First I made sure to rise properly. After I checked I entered the bios where I noticed that the drive is recognized in the details of the system. The model was correct, the capasity as well. Fashion was ahci.

  I ran the diagnostics and they couldn't locate a drive.

  So, is this an incompatibility? I checked for updates to the bios and I see I m to date on that. The player is surelly ok as I have tested on another pc...

  What can I do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Add1ctiv3,

  We recommend that you use the recovery disks that are you ready when you got your system to restore the image of the original on the SSD hard drive. Since they have the same size, it should work without problem.

• PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT: Replacement of the SSD HARD drive and Recovery Options

  I have a PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT I went recently to drive HARD original for one SSD of 850 Evo from Samsung using Samsungs cloning/copying software. Everything went well and the PC is in use today. I do not see the partition D: Recovery on this machine more well, so I think this has not copied or was lost. I still have the disk that was replaced.

  I was wondering if there is a way to replace HARD drive like this with an SSD and everything by keeping the system recovery feature that was on the HARD disk, and if a set of system recovery disks of before installing SSD would continue to operate, or if I need to create new ones, and if I CAN create new ones.

  rgoodrich

  I did what you want to do (for example, to replace a disk with a DDI) and was able to retain the function of HP recovery - but it's because of two important facts.

  First of all, I used a DDI with the same capacity as the original HARD disk.  This is important because if you use a smaller SDS, the HP recovery feature will no more work as a reset begins with reformatting the drive and recreate the original scores - which will fail if the disc is too small.

  Second, I use Macrium Reflect product to 'clone' the HDD to the DDI, which means, he made an exact copy of the partitions on disk on the SDS.  So, when I swapped drives, the PC restarted without any problem.

  People have posted here on the use of the software from Samsung, and they seem to have problems restarting after use and (apparently) with successful copy from disk HARD original in the new SDS.
