SSD update for HP nx9420

I am very satisfied of my computer laptop htough even there a few years. I would like either to increase the capacity of the HARD disk, real is only 40 GB or replace it with a SSD HARD drive kind. Can you help me with suggestions for both options? Also if I replace HARD drive it is necessary to reinstall the operating system or it can be done in a way esier? Thank you!

I also think that these classic HP business notebooks are some of the best laptops ever made. The hard drive is a SATA type (most recent) which means that you can replace it with one of the SSD commonly sold on the market. If you've been do with a disc of 40 gigabytes that you will think that you have died and ascended to heaven, even with a 128 GB SSD and the price of those who now is well under $ 100.

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

Pages 5-6 to 5-9.

If you are satisfied with the way in which the laptop is running (any malware or such) so the best thing to do is just to clone the old disk on the new content using a "proportional resize. I use Acronis True Image Home combined with an external SATA to USB connector. Acronis is a disc of starting the program after it is installed on the computer. Use this bootable CD to start the computer and simply run the disk clone with sizing with the SSD connected externally via usb adapter, then swap the drives and enjoy the speed. With Windows 7 there are very little if anything you need to do to ensure that the optimized SSD.

Here's a SSD I recommend:

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820721107

It is an incredibly sweet deal at $71 with shipping for an order of 120 gig.

At this price, you can add the kit to upgrade $ 33 and still come in a little more than $100, which is where you want to be on an older laptop. The kit is all the hardware and software you need to clone the old drive to the new. The software isn't Acronis but does the same thing. Enjoy and good luck.

  • SanDisk ultra II 480 GB ssd update for macbook pro 2009 (5.4)

    Hi, this is not a question but just some information that I wanted to let down as I was cultural for this search but could not find any info anywhere here or elsewhere online...

    My 6 year old, 250GB internal hard drive died and I decided to replace it with an ssd, after looking at all the options and additional information about compatibility issues, problems of crash/stand etc. I decided (without a clue and fingers crossed) with the sandisk ultra II ssd 480 GB

    So far so good, the mac works amazingly fast, no el capitan osx installation problems and no problems with SATA speed negotiation, turns the 3gps. It is like having a brand new computer!

    Conclusion: upgrade 100% recommended

    I recently took a similar decision for my Mac Pro Tower silver server, install two 960GB SSD of this manufacturer (Sandisk).

    The SATA 3 G bps Bus SATA Mac's limits you to a maximum of about 375 M bytes/second. Although this is a little slower than maximum speed than the SSD applications (on the order of about 500 cases of best M bytes/s), it is still fast enough.

    Improving the speed on a rotating disk is so great, it is certainly useful.

    Make sure that you activate the TRIM on your SSD. If ongoing 10.10.4 or later, you can use the Terminal command:

    sudo trimforce enable

    (your password is not included, you will be notified that it is serious, and a reboot will be once the TRIM is activated).

  • Laptop HP 15-ay013nr: M.2 SSD update for HP Notebook 15-ay013nr

    What type of M.2 SSD is supported in the HP 15-ay013nr laptop?  This unit supports the Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB SSD is like an upgrade?

    This model can have a hard drive or a WSSD m2, but not both. There is a sign of Solid State Drive that fits the WSSD for the same space in the laptop as a hard drive or SSD of full size. From a SATA hard drive and the m2 plug into the connector as well, I would say that you should use a SATA M.2 WSSD and not a PCI-e version you ask. It is a new model with a processor of Skylake so not easy to find information, but here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 56.

    So if you want the WSSD and you order the laptop with a HDD or 2.5-inch SSD, you also somehow locate the SSD card. Just, I would setup an SSD 2.5 inch because I think that the Council will be difficult to locate.

  • HP Pavilion a6519f: SSD update for HP Pavilion a6519f

    I would like to install an ssd in this pc along side hard drive, but when I went to Best Buy and told the seller that I wanted to do and was asked what brand and how old my pc had I said that it was old and not worth it I'd be better off with a new pc. I want to know if this is true or not, since I did some research and saw the old pc with an installed ssd works like new.

    You are the very welcome.

    Which is great news, your PC has a setting to AHCI controller.

    Make sure that it is set to that before installing the SSD.

    If you get an SSD that is large enough, you may be able to clone the hard disk, but if the speed control is set for what else the AHCI on your current drive, the cloned SSD does not start.

    I clean all the operating systems installed on my SSD.

    With 10 windows that it was easy to install from scratch because you don't need a key product once you had installed W10 previously and it has been activated.  Just click on the option "I don't have a product key" at the beginning of the script install W10.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    By some reasons, HP stopped publishing Service and Maintenance Guide for this series (the portable HP spectrum x 360 13-4nnnaa).  Probably because of this:

    IMPORTANT! This document is for only authorized HP service provider.

    My account, on page 28, we can remove the SSD M.2 and swap to a different example 512 GB, M2, disk SSD SATA3 supporting TLC part number 801504-001. There is only a single screw.

  • SSD update for HP Pavilion dv8338ea.

    Hi HP'ers!

    Searched around with no luck. My father upgraded his laptop with an SSD, but I'm not sure if it's a PATA or SATA.

    Although I can't find any information about the specs on the machine, the section of the driver revealed he want to "Intel Matrix Storage Manager", which, according to the text, is «...» Intel Serial ATA (SATA)... »

    Also (assuming that its SATA) it would work with a 250SSD? Or the size will give problems with the bios etc.?

    Thanks guys = D

    The dv8000 series began to have PATA drives, but at one point in the production, they began to install SATA drives. This can actually take 2 hard drives, like the dv9000 series later. The way to know if it's PATA or SATA is to open drive Bay. This is the original SATA (SATA I) but the most recent disks SATA-III will be downclock. There is also a BIOS upgrade that allows him to take Core2 Duo processor and I think also improves some other hardware features and may allow 4 GB of RAM.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-54801-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=228&product=1832444&sw_lang=

    You must install this update of the BIOS in Windows XP or Vista... it does not work well if you have installed Windows 7.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    This manual presents the PATA drives. Look on Page 5-8. PATA drives have two rows of pins in brass, as shown in the manual. SATA drives have two black plastic L shaped plugs.

    There is such a thing as a PATA SSD, but they cost a bit more per concert. HP never sold a lot of the dv8000 the information available here is a little sparse. They are very strong and robust machines however, and I still sometimes run through a service. With the GeForce Go 7600 graphics, it can easily run Windows 7 or 8 with active Aero.

    I recently bought my 15z with minimum and planned on the modernization of the RAM and hard drive upgrades myself.  I found a post for RAM compatibility, but I'm always looking for good practice on the upgrade of the SDS.  I bought the unit with the base 500 GB 5400 RPM hard drive.  According to me, that means I have to go with a SSD 1.8 "?  I can't go mSATA?  No problem with SATAIII?  I guess this will be voide my warranty?  Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    1. No, it uses standard 2.5 "HDD and you can use 2.5" SSD standard,.

    2. No, no mSATA

    3. Yes, you can go for SATA III, it is backward compatible,

    4. Yes, this will void the warranty (you'll see how hard to get on the HARD drive).

    Good luck.

    Hello!

    I use PC HP Pavilion 15 Notebok (F6C42PA #ACJ). It came with Win 8.1 pre-installed on a 1 TB HARD drive. I updated the OS to win 10 and now upgrade my HDD to SSD. I was wondering if TS256GSSD370S Transcend and Samsung Evo 850 is compatible with my laptop. Also how to enable AHCI mode? I don't see such an option in the BIOS.

    Thank you.

    15 - n203tx is the model. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    The compartment access hard drive appears on p. 59. As you can see, it's a bit more involved.

    Don't fall into the trap of overthink. The laptop is in ahci mode and you can not set otherwise. With Windows 10 an SSD will be automatically recognized as such and optimized. Your question only real tech is to get the software on the new SSD. After the back if you need some help with that.

    The Samsung Evo 850 is my choice, but the Transcend would work too.

  • Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

    I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

    1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

    2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

    3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

    Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

    Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

    To follow...

    Hey Buddy,

    With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
    -Run update as an administrator only
    -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
    -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
    -Make sure the battery is fully charged

    With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

    All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

    SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

    Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

    Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

    The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

    As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

  • Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

    HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

    I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

    The bios on the PC has never been updated.

    The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

    The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

     

    SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

    Hello

    The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

    If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

    But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

    I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

    Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.
