Swapping Rom for Ssd drive in a g50-45.

Simple as in the title.

Is it possible to Exchange my rom hunt for one ssd using a CD-ROM drive adapter?

So I take the rom is also sata drive?

If you are talking about using a HDD dock instead of the optical drive, I would like to warn against it. There was very little success stories involving this type of Exchange, usually because the controller for the optical drive is not able to work with hard drives or SSDS, IE... He expects to see a CD or DVD - ROM drive only.

  • Satellite R830 - support Sata III for SSD drives

    Hello

    Why Toshiba Satellite R830 does not support Sata III, although the plug to motherboard. indicate that it is possible?

    So you can not significantly increase the performance of your laptop by replacing the HARD drive with disk SSD Sata III. Is it possible to activate the Sata III (6 Mbps) on R830?

    All the system settings? It's also kind of bios update request necessary support SSD and SATA III...

    Any help is appreciated! :)

    > It shows that SATA III is supported, but when you install the SSD SATA III disc it does not work with higher speeds to ~ 250 MB/s (cases Crucial M4).

    From my own experience many SSD readers need a updated firmware that is provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

    But readers in the R830 SSD seems to support these specifications:
    Host interface: Max 300 MB/s
    Reading data supported: Max 250 MB/s
    Writing data supported: Max 160 MB/s

    By the way: the R830 supports a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset and the chipset supports the storage interface high speed supports up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to 6 SATA ports, 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports support 6 Gb/s transfer rate.

  • Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal

    My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.

    I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.

    The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.

    I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
    Could you give me a link for such adapter?

    The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).

    There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
    The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.

    In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
    This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profile

    I'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available

  • 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.

  • How can I protect he'S catalogs when installing software for SSD drive & 2nd data disc

    I know that this has been answered a thousand times... but when I search, I find that a 1 000 answers and none relate exactly to my question...

    I have a laptop

    I have a technician install a 1 TB Solid State Drive adjacent to the existing "spin drive" provided with the laptop (1 TB)

    I'm having the existing drive spin "wiped clean" and reformatted

    I him have to put all THE SOFTWARE, including 10 Windows on the SSD drive

    CC - Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop will operate the SSD

    My 'current' workflow about 6 weeks of photography is retained on the SSD for faster treatment

    These last about 6 to 8 months of photography will be kept on the existing "spin drive" came with the computer.

    Previous work will be kept on a 3 TB external storage drive

    I'm dragging 633 GB of photos of my 'drive spin' on my drive external hard to ensure the guard with the upgrade is performed.

    ...........................

    And here is my fight...  I don't know enough about Adobe CC to make sure that I have all my files protect.       I know that I have several catalogs, but the drop-down list on the menu (at the signing in LR) shows about 8-10 choice and I'm only using 4 or 5!

    How Lightroom find my Photos after I drag them back to the newly - reformatted "spin drive?   I know how to find a lost file manually... So should I do hundreds of records, I have?

    Where my LR catalog folder will be stored?   Right now it is in my pictures folder.   It will be there if the Adobe program resides in the SSD?

    I have more questions... but that's enough for now...

    Thank you

    John

    First of all, your CPU is old and slow by today's standards, and clearly a faster CPU would do a faster job of making these backups.

    In the second place, it is a very large catalog file, 9.2 GB. (Are you sure that you watched the .lrcat file and not the amount of space occupied by the photos?) Yes, you are supposed to use Windows Explorer to find the size of the. LRCAT file. For comparison, my catalog with almost 30 000 images is only 1.75 GB. All the brushing, you did apparently exploded the size of your catalog.

    You can reduce the size of the catalog file by clearing the history on each photo (this leaves the changes in place but you will be able to go back in history and see the sequence of steps that you used). I'm not aware of a way to do bulk on each photo, but in the back of my mind, I think that this has been discussed in this forum and you might want to search for.

    The last thing you might consider of doing backups until you go to sleep. Just leave Lightroom open until you go to bed, then close and let the process of backup with happiness.

    So, that's all that I can think of to make this faster process right now (other that to split the catalog file, which has many disadvantages). Faster processor, remove the story and let Lightroom its backups when you sleep.

  • HP 3D DriveGuard necessary or recommended for SSD drive?

    Recently, I replaced the standard reader on my HP 2730p with an Intel SSD X-18. I did a clean install and the driver for the HP 3D DriveGuard indicates missingof course so my question is - should I or should I install this driver if I have an SSD in my laptop now?

    Thank you very much.

    It is not necessary.

    There is no platters and read/wrire heads worry in the Solid State hard drive. Are not move some parts so no heads for jogging or shocks that could result in a loss of data. With an SSD, it is also recommended to avoid defragmentation. Your new drive is cutting-edge technology.

  • Hiding HP ENVY 15 t-j000 Quad Edition w/SSD and hybrid propulsion system. Swap disk for one SSD Question.

    Hi all!

    I bought the HP ENVY 15 t-j000 Quad Edition and opted for the WSSD 24Go cache as well as the hybrid drive 1 TB. Do I have a problem just buy a kit of cloning and spend the hybrid propulsion system to a full on SSD in the future if I choose to?

    I did some research but I can't isolate an answer if yes or no I might encounter problems on account of the Intel RST be "associated" with the traditional HARD drive caching.

    So I wonder if I can't just simply disable acceleration of RST, clone HARD drive for an SSD via a cloning kit, remove the HARD and the SSD drive and call it a day?

    Any help with this is appreciated!

    Thanks for the info but I was even more so, I was wondering if I would have a problem Exchange with a new SSD hybrid drive later by cloning.

    I thought that I would stick with the 8 GB of RAM and WSSD combo of cache/HDD for now and sometimes down the line (as in a year or two) to get rid of the HARD drive for a full on SSD, disable caching and at the same time move to 16 GB of RAM.

    But I don't know if yes or no the WSSD cache/HDD combo makes it difficult to clone and swap the HARD drive and then just leave the disc of "cache" of 24 gigas (which is more a cache drive) there to be upgraded later.

    -Rob

    Well, I think a pure 2.5 "SSD should work on the system but make sure the cache is removed. For the purposes of cloning, I suggest using the DD command:

  • Conversion of SSD drive for the reader to boot on m7 with Win8

    I just bought a new m7-j020dx (product code E4S19UA #ABA) with Windows 8 from Best Buy.  Unfortunately, it came with a standard hard disc (HDD), and I would like to install a Solid State Drive (SSD).  I have an Intel 320 and 530 series-reader.  But I was not able to get a bootable from that disc.

    The first thing I tried was cloning the drive to plant on a new disk of 530 series using AOMEI Backupper.  I got an error writing on the partition of the third.  I thought that maybe the drive was bad, so I tried again with an Intel 320 series SSD drive.  Same mistake.

    The next attempt was to clone the disk to another disk of 1 TB (connected via USB), reduce the main partition with MiniTool and clone of the 320 series SSD.  The cloning went well.  However, with the new installed SSD, the computer will not start, and I get "Error0x0000225", something about a file not found.  Disable "secure starting" in the BIOS setup has not helped (I did after the clone).

    So I thought I would do a clean install of win 8.  I generated a recovery on a 32 GB USB SanDisk player disc using Win8 recovery disk generator (as indicated on the site of HP).  I then ran the program of recovery out of the USB drive and after a few hours of software installation driver and several reboots, I get a message from HP, indicating that the installation was not complete.  Reinstall did not help.

    I don't know what the problem is.

    What the recovery disk USB one made from the original bad HARD drive (we get only a single shot at it)?  Do I need media of the order of HP on disks?  Are there problems with the use of SSDS on those computers?  Should I not a BIOS settig correctly (UEFI)?  Is there some Intel storage drivers clutter it?

    I think my next step will be to create a disc Image and place it on the SSD drive.  But I doubt that this solves the problem with the start to it.

    Another option might be to build fresh using Win8 media, then download and install each driver from the HP website.

    Any ideas out there in the land of the experts?

    Thank you, erico, for advice.

    I tried this with 320 (160 GB) series and SSD 530 series (120 GB and 240 GB).  Actually, I have not tried on the 240GB again, just two other. . The 240 GB SSD is the best candidate. During cloning, using a larger SSD is the best for worms down the road when other programs are installed.

    So far, I've done everything suggested this that caramel:

    -Updated the BIOS for later: F.43. 03/01/2014 (HP support site).

    -Installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology v. 12.9.0.1001 (taken from the Intel site).

    -Updated the firmware of the 530 series 120 GB using Intel SSD Toolbox v2.0.10 of 06/20/2013 (from Intel).

    -The series 160 GB 320 firmware was up to date.

    -Installed the Data Migration Software Intel v. 2.0, dated 29/04/2013 (taken from the Intel site).

    -Updated environmental Support UEFI v5.3.3.0 dated 26/09/2013 (on the HP support site)

    -Enabled secure boot.

    Even using Data Migration tool Intel did not work.  Before Support UEFI environment, data migration tool would go to the step to reset but does not start what whether manually or to another.  Support UEFI environment, the software says simply "Operation failed." Following the manual data migration softwarecan be a bit tricky. There are a few things about the bootind of the Acronis loader * which must be carefully designed for the operation to succeed.  Intel also has a forum which can help as well.


    When I hit F10 and in the Configuration of the system, the Intel RST is not available.  So I suspect there is something not right here. The suggestion of updating the BIOS of caramel didn't across before it was made. It was not necessary and therefore not a good plan. I suggest that you use the Diagnostics UEFI and rollback to the previous BIOS. If you need advice with those just let me know. I have a few images that should show you what you should see. 

    A number of things, I noticed I did upgrades:

    -The site of HP support for my computer has Intel Rapid Storage Technology 12.0.7.1002 v, dated 30/06/2013 is earlier than on the Intel site.  Maybe I should roll back. That must be rolled back to the version shipped by HP. I see you introduced makes as stated in a previous post.

    -The HP support site has two distinct "RST", storage technology products a quick and a quick start technology.

    Intel has "RST" next to their rapid storage technology, so I might be confused.  I have installed the driver of the technology of quick start on the HP support site so if it is not already on the computer, perhaps it is not running and is the "RST" which is the missing piece.  In fact, same caramel said I need fast boot technology driver and then linked to download Rapid Storage Technology driver. Do not pay attention to what it says caramel.

    Here are two of the same?  Support site of HP with two drivers and version numbers, I suspect not.   Any ideas would be useful.  They are indeed different.

    The Intel Rapid Storage Technology softpaq sp61600.exe driver provides NCQ (native command qeueing) features for the SATA controller.

    The Intel Rapid storage Technology driver softpaq sp61325.exe is supposed to improve the SSD or mSATA consumption of hibernation and also imrove the resume from hibernation.

    You can't even consider installing either softpaq to clone the drive. It is always better to keep things simple.

    The SATA cable USB you use has two connectors usb at one end?  It is necessary to provide enough power for the SSD for data migration is not. Connect each usb connector to a different usb port.

I don't like about backing up files, I'll use as an external HARD drive. Also I have the apu a4 4300 m and would like to get 10 4600 m cpu is this hard to replace or should I pay someone? Thanks for the support

    That's what you have:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03551667

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    From the outset I see that you only have 2 GB of RAM. Very easy and inexpensive to spend at least 4 GB. See page 46.

    The motherboard is the motherboard. There is no upgrade available. However, you have the CPU AMD A4 and you might fall into a 10 - 4600M. See page 83. It would be a major update and only would no treatment faster, but would provide a slightly better video chip since it is a "APU" with processor and video on the same chip.

    Finally, you can exchange the mechanical drive to a SSD drive. The upgrade of the speed would be very noticeable.

    That @banhien meant, however, the cost of this can equal or exceed a new laptop. and almost certainly will if you need to pay a technician to do it. The first update I is the RAM, then the SSD and then the last would be the CPU. If you need any help post more come back.
