SSD in the G41

All updated a series of 2886 G41 laptop with a SSD hard drive.  I consider it as my personal favorite machine is still smoking with 3.06Gig.  It is even possible the Kingston States model that the system should be at less than 4 years or less and my system is about 6-7 years of age.

You need a PATA SSD and it will work fine. SLC is generally preferred to the MLC for the loading of the operating system, so you are looking at some serious dollars here, but you will really feel the difference.

Keep one thing in mind, however: the rate on G41 (all all pre - T61 ThinkPad) speed will probably be the bottleneck and the chances of getting the SSD to perform 100% are slim to none.

Good luck.

  • Implications of the small size of SSD in the Fusion drive

    I saw the comment of the press and opinion, but not much in the way of concrete facts relating to the reduction of Apple to the size of the SSD in its efforts to merge to 24 GB. for example, 9to5Mac made the comment, "apparently somehow, Apple thinks it's acceptable."

    My opinion is that Apple is two things: one, a technology company filled some very smart people. And two, very profitable.

    I would have a hard time to believe that the bean counters would extend full on a decision like this, however, so I think that for 90% of users, the 24 GB SSD offers the same overall performance did the 128 GB SSD (in the context of the previous configuration of the merger by car). Is anyone able to confirm or deny this? It would affect a short-term purchase decision.

    (I'll have to this post in the community of Mac Mini because Apple doesn't have a 'Hardware Mac' community).

    Thank you.

    I can't confirm that it's the size using the Apple, but what it means is that at some point, the files must be moved from the SSD to HD more ofter with a size of 24 GB.  In theory, this would mean a slower system.  If it would be noticeable or not I can't comment.

  • Upgrading HP HPE H8-1070uk to SSD using the mirror or new installation?

    I bought my H8-1070uk this time last year (Oct 2011) and decided to upgrade with an SSD.

    SSD of choice is Samsung 803, 2.5 inches Sata III 6 GB/s, 128 Gb. including the kit of accessories and Norton Ghost.

    Can we see problems with this choice for my office?

    Important information to take into account for the following questions, it's that I did a restore of complete system only 1 months ago. Recovery system was conducted using disks system recovery DVD created via HP Support Assistant at the time of purchase. I also upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB of RAM only 1 week ago.

    I want the SSD as a boot drive for my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, as well to run my applications of 3D animation; Autodesk Softimage, Autodesk Mudbox and master of Adobe Creative Suite 6 thus than some other apps from day to day. Then use my HARD drive existing as a second car for the media and personal files, etc.

    Copy all my personal files (videos, photos, documents, etc.) on a drive external hard, my HARD C: drive partition is currently at 92 GB used space (I imagine that I might be able to find that a bit smaller) and Partition D: 10 GB 11 GB used.

    My basic question is what would be the best for my system and for the future, to create a mirror using the Norton Ghost software or do a clean install?

    Own Samsung promo videos of the 830 Norton Ghost seems very honest and will create a complete copy of my HDD to the SSD, fair enough.

    However do a few minor readings, there seems to be a fair few who suggest that in order to get the best of the SSD is to do a clean install. I don't really know how I would go to this topic but, would it not as simple as the insertion of the SSD, remove the HARD drive temporarily and then start using the system recovery DVD discs to create the clean install?

    What would be the recommendation of HP?

    Tips, tricks or general recommendations on this process would be greatly appreciated.

    Oh, also is there a slot specific SATA, that I should connect the SSD or are they the same?

    Thanks for your time,

    Steve

    Many before you have tried mirror/clone the OS for the SSD and ran into problems. A search on this forum or the internet should indicate what has been tried and failed. There seems to be no direct way to do what you want. The method below doesn't require activation and reactivation if you change most of your hardware as would be normally will not happen if you are using Windows with a standard COA key.

    It is a completely clean install and will require the installation of the drivers and software HP, if you chose for her, she.

    (1) download and unzip ABR beta for Windows 7. This is the homepage of ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the section "How to use" for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps also apply to Windows 7. The 'activation' on your original with factory HP OEM Windows installation hard disk backup, backup the backup files in several locations (USB stick, SD card, external hard drive, etc.).

    (2) download your version (the version that has been preinstalled on your HP computer) Windows 7 from Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River. Using the built-in Windows 7 CD/DVD burning software, burn the ISO image of Windows 7 downloaded onto a DVD.

    (3) install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7 disk" to your SSD, following all prompts as needed. Do not enter a product key Windows and do not allow Windows try to scoped. After the windows installation is complete, run ABR 'restoration of activation' to 'install' the previously saved until the product key and the certificate. Verify that Windows is activated, if not activated... repeat "restoration of activation" until Windows 7 is activated.

    Good luck.

  • Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

  • HP 300-030na: you can add a ssd to the HP 300-030na

    Hello

    I want to know is you can add a ssd M2 to the HP 300-030na as a second hard drive?

    I would like to have the essential motivation of the ssd for the speed of startup and disk of 1 TB for storage.

    Is - this somthink is that you can do on this machine?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    mSata differs from SATA, and there SSD that are msata and SATA SSD. You will need to decide how you want yourself. If you want an msata player then it will go into the ports of m you have shown, but if you want a SATA SSD then you connect just like disk main HARD that is there now is also a SATA type.

  • Pavilion 500-281: where to install a SSD and the best way to get the operating system on it

    I have a Pavilion nine 500-281 with Win 7. I bouight a SSD 128 GB to load the operating system on it.  Where can I get inside the chassis? It seem not to be berries of classical records. It came with an adapter with the screw plate, but it's not obvious where I was able to ride the thing!

    In addition, can I just run a restore to get the OS on the SSD drive, once I have installed?  I received instructions with the SSD for ADATA software copy an image of the disk, but all I want is the operating system.  I'm dying to start using my new computer, but I think I want to get the reader installed first before you make any changes that he.

    Hello

    Review the #8 message in this thread.  Not all models of the 500 - 2xx Pavilion are provisioned for the SSD in the location as shown.  In the indicated installation, an adapter plate was not necessary.

    Most SSD manufacturers have free software migration.  I suggest that you image the entire HD, all partitions even hidden partitions.  Some of the more recent migration software will allow you to exclude your data records.

    I installed and cloned the C: drive on the new SSD using the data migration software provided with the SSD drive. I use Windows 8.

    • How can I now boot from the SSD?  I tried to set it as the startup disk.
    • What I first need to erase the original HD? or is it possible to keep windows on both drives?
    • Can I migrate the original HD recovery partition to SSD?

    I moved the SATA cable for the SSD drive to post the original HD was in.  I also tried to disconnect the original HD and just boot from the SSD drive, but Windows doesn't load.

    This is a brand new computer and I'm moving all on the SSD before starting to install anything.  The SSD is 120 GB and has plenty of room for the operating system.

    I'm not familiar with the system bios UEFI (spelling?).  Why not just select to boot from the SSD drive? What is 'Bootable Windows disc'

  • Pavilion dv6t-7000 QE: upgrade factory ssd for the four edition dv6t-7000

    I have a laptop DV6T - 7000 CTO Quad Edition, 64-bit Windows 7, I had configured with a 160 GB SSD from the factory.  It works great, very fast, but I want to move to a larger ssd. In looking at a crucial or sandisk pro now, 480 GB or more.

    My question: if I use the cloning software that will copy everything to the new ssd, included windows operating system?

    I really want to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system that I don't see the need for it. Most likely I will modernize in any case next year to win 10, or whatever they called.

    Somehow this update seems easy enough to do, but I want to anticipate any potential isses before we start.

    What do you think? This who should I look for? If there is a problem, can I pop just my current ssd right in?

    Thank you

    Yes he clones above. Choose a proportional resizing of partitions. And Yes, if the clone does not work, you can always pop concert the 160 original. I use Acronis True Image Home 2014 for cloning and it works fine. Some versions of the Samsung 840 and 850 equipped with a migration kit which has the SATA Adapter USB and a CD containing software for disk cloning.

    You can also buy a separate kit:

  • HP Envy 14 A9P67UA spectrum #ABA: Add (or replace) mSATA SSD to the HP Envy 14 spectrum w/windows 10... possible? Worth the risk?

    Hi all!

    So, I read in this forum on this subject and have seen mixed results.  I bought this computer a few years ago, generally pretty happy with it but I ran out of space and the battery is dying.  I am trying to decide whether to revise it or buy new.   That's what I want to do:

    Add 2nd mSATA SSD in the second slot.  I saw a post like this HD is compatible but that's a post.  Around, I've read that others have had problems by adding a second SSD.  Some people can not access, some people, it shows only a 128 GB extra, in fact, some have a BSOD.   The post I saw replaced the original disc to help one of them and adding a second drive so the two HDs were of the same brand.  Is it a better idea?  Also, all the posts I've seen on this topic were two years old and dealt with Windows 7.  Windows 10 it will make it harder to do?

    http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-850-mSATA-2-inch-MZ-M5E1T0BW/DP/B00TGIVRYU?ie=UTF8&PSC=1&redirect=true...

    If not I can try and use the same car with the model came in the second slot to help in possible compatibility issues, but I would be limited to a 128 GB extra (or possibly 256?).

    I have also upgraded the memory of 8 GB and add a new battery.

    Hi @cdmdds,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand from your posts that you are having a problem with your Notebook SPECTRUM HP ENVY 14 - 3010NR and needing some updates. This system supports 8 GB (8192 × 1) of the maximum of memory RAM and 256 GB (128 GB × 2) Page 34 of the repair. The battery information on page 32.

    This would be due to the limit with the processor.

  • I want my user to my main hard drive i.e. hard drive by default but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd

    * O.T. > default player

    So I set up my Pc with an SSD and unplugged my of my motherboard main HARD drive, so that Windows would automatically install on the SSD. It installed and now I connected the main HARD disk but the SSD is always default. I want to have my my main hddd user but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd, because it would take too much space. So basically I was my OS to run from the SSD but my user, download, App Data etc... to come from my main SSD, but I don't know how to do it. Help please?

    My recommendation would be to open the C:\Users folder, then go to your user folder (probably 'Will' or a good thing?)

    Now take the record office and HOLD DOWN SHIFT while drag you it to another player.  When you drop, Windows automatically updates the registry of this folder paths so that all you ever put on your "office" (office of real desktop wallpaper) is actually stored on the other drive.

    Do the same for your Documents, downloads, photos, videos and other "Shell folders".

    You can indicate that a folder is a special folder redirection-able by clicking Properties.  If you see the 'Location' tab, then this folder can be redirected to another drive.  Almost everything in your user account folder is like this (by dragging while now shift is the quick way to update this tab 'Location' to redirect the folder to another drive).

    It is technically possible to literally redirect the entire folder 'Will' for example, but I do not recommend it for a typical user account unless you have some super specific needs, and redirect folders shell as this will get the huge majority of data written in your user folder.
