• Upgrade SSD for Dell XPS 15 9550

  Hello

  I have Dell XPS 9550 with configuration 32 GB SSD + 500 GB HARD disk. I want to upgrade SSD for more space avaliablity.

  But I don't know what type of SSD, I'll need to buy. Also, I read XPS 15 to repair. There are two chapter for the removal and replacement of the SSD in the maintenance manual. First chapter of half-length SSD, second chapter SSD full length.

  What type of SSD is mounted in my laptop? Half or full length?

  How can I identify necessary SSD for me in stores (dimensions, label, etc.)?

  What interface for SSD do I need?  PCIE or SATA?

  What is the map? M2.2280 or PCI-E AIC (-expansion card)?

  Thanks in advance!

  These are all numbers of Dell and descriptions.

  The system uses a PCIe (or is if you want a faster player), 2280 m2 or small size.  UNLESS you buy directly from Dell, it is best NOT to buy versions OEM of SSD (Samsung end pieces in a '1' vs '0' for details).

  OEM spare parts are usually not compatible to end-users by the manufacturer.

  Because you will probably install the operating system for the new SSD, don't forget to make a recovery media set, you need to load the operating system on the larger capacity disk - what you have now is just a cache for the main hard drive.

• Upgrade SSD or hybrid to my T510

  Hi all

  I am considering upgrading my hard drive to my old T510 to 2 years since my original 300 GB drive fills

  I am considering getting an ssd or a Seagate hybrid drive, but I'm not sure.

  I want a faster startup time and improved performance. Right now it takes more than a minute to boot the system and sometimes seconds to load a large multimedia site. However, I also need big storage because I need a windows and linux dual system and a little store a few movies and a lot of music in the laptop. Because I don't want to replace my DVD with a second hdd, I hesitate between the SSD and hybrid.

  I was wondering if any of you have tried the hybrid drive on Thinkpad. How does perform? And anyone who tries it with a dual system? I'm a little worried the dual-boot will mess up with the ssd 6 GB limited is part of the hybrid drive, since it is so little space for both systems and management becomes much more complicated with two totally different file system.

  Also if I would go with an ssd, any recommendations? I looked at Samsung 830, Intel 520 and Crucial m4, all are good, but the problems that they are all SATA III, while my T510 support only SATA II. A bit of waste. But all the SATA II ssd seems just outdated and with older technology.

  Thanks a lot guys!

  Thanks for your message and advice. You need a very good point about the controller improved on the new version of ssd and an option of DVD - RW replaceable hot to install a secondary hard drive. Can you explain more about the replaceable option hot? I know that the DVD player, but do you need to buy something like a ultra-baie adapter for the hard disk?

  Yes... need you the ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay adapter III.

  The reference is 43N3412 detailed here. More information about the adapter here (PS: photo shows one IDE connector that is false.) Someone needs to update this image).

  The Bay adapter is hot in that you can safely remove the material at any time & eject your T510 adapter using the physical button under the chassis. I like the provision of better eject buttons on the first series of T.

• Pavilion 15-bc018nl: upgrade SSD m2 in Pavilion 15-bc018nl

  Hi, recently I bought a Pavilion 15-bc018nl (X7H34EA #ABZ).
  I want to upgrade with a secondary hard drive using the port m2 (empty), but I was unable to find the right type of device (Sata or Pcie) m2.

  According to the "HP Pavilion Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide", these are the possible configurations:

  

  but I have no idea what kind of M.2 ssd should I buy...
  M.2 internal SATA port or the PCIe is?
  I also heard that in some cases the port of m2 is not enabled.

  So my question is: How can I know if the port of m2 is activated and M.2 SSD is compatible with it?

  Thank you much for the help!

  I finally got an answer from HP support, my port of m2 is successfully activated and works very well. It is sata and pcie compatible.

• Upgrade SSD on Satellite Pro U200

  Hello!

  I have a laptop (Satellite Pro U200-PLUA1E-00X007HU of the v3.70 win7 32-bit bios), I want to upgrade with a series of Samsung 830 64 GB SSD. I read that the SSD need AHCI mode. My laptop supports AHCI mode? What can I change in the bios before installing the new storage?

  Thanks for the help!

  Robert

  Hello

  I see you're confused
  First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

  Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

  If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

  However, to SSD drive question:
  I put t really no problem using an SSD.
  It must function as the SATA controller support

• Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

  Hello
  I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
  Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

• Portege Z30-A-10w: Win 7 BSOD after upgrade SSD

  Hello

  I am wanting to upgrade a laptop Toshiba-Portege-z30-a-10w of company SSD 128 to 512 SSD
  However when loading windows 7, it crashes when connecting with a blue screen error 0x00000001

  The SSD 512 that I use is
  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/storage-SSD-M550

  and according to the
  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/compat...Tege-Z30-a-10W

  It is compatible with the Toshiba portege-z30-a-10w
  I've updated the BIOS of the laptop to V4 30/04/2015 (which to my knowledge is the most recent)
  http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/innovation/...jsp?service=UK
  Moreover I have updated the firmware on the SSD 512 to what, in my view, is the last
  MU02 version
  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/support-SSD
  However I still get the same problem with Windows 7 to break with a blue screen just before the opening of the session.

  All ideas

  Thank you
  David

  I've never managed to install Windows 7... but I installed Windows 8 and goes on well...

  I have no why, but install Windows 8 seems to allow the 512 SSD to use

  Hope it will be useful.

• Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

  Hello world

  This is my first post here!
  I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
  The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

  I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

  My questions:

  1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
  2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
  3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

  Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

  Kind regards
  Paulo

  > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

  I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
  You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

  > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

  It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
  Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:
  Tecra R840 & Satellite R840 HARD drive replacement procedure

  > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

  You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
  You can use an option included in Windows 7:
  Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
  Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
  Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
  When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

• HP Envy 13-d001no: upgrade SSD on a new HP Envy 13 m2

  Hello!

  I just got my HP Envy 13-d001no. As I expected I really enjoy them until now, but I am interested the upgrade to a faster SSD with more storage on this subject. I'm looking at two different drives, namely the Samsung 850 EVO m2 and the Samsung PRO 950 m2. Both drives are m2 (2280) form factor, but they differ in that the EVO 850 uses a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s-interface while the PRO 950 has a PCIe interface.

  I am not fully aware of the differences between these interfaces. I know that PCIe allows faster speeds, but they are both compatible with the new HP Envy 13? I find anywhere which interface is the exact shape of the SSD factor currently installed and I don't want to take the risk of buying a new drive only for him is not to adapt or not to work on the laptop.

  According to the HP ENVY laptop (model numbers used: 13-d000 through 13-d099)-Maintenance and Service Guide of, this model supports the following:

  SSD drive
  Serial ATA M2 storage
  Support for the following SSD drive configurations:
  512 MB M2, SATA-3, support triple cell level (TLC)
  256 MB M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
  128 MB, M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
  128 MB, M2.2280, SATA-3

  On this basis, it would seem that the Samsung 850 EVO m2 is the correct upgrade for your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Upgrade SSD in Satellite L50 - has

  IM intend to put an SSD in my L50 - A - 1 7 but I don't know if my laptop supports SATAIII.

  IM also not to use my ODD will be a work of caddy hard drive to put my hard drive in there to store data?

  Unfortunately I can't offer you a precise answer to your question on SATA but any standard SATA laptop is such upgrade increase you mobile computer s performance quickly.

  Fact is that SSDS offer substantial benefits over traditional hard drives. It is interesting to note that SATA II SSD will still be faster than virtually any rotation HDD

  To find out what standard SATA laptop I recommend to install one of the two hardware diagnostic tools that are:
  -Everest Home Edition
  -Sisoft Sandra.

  Problem is that your laptop does not have coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner so these updates must be performed by the authorized service provider.

  As far as I know that Toshiba does not HDD caddy so you can try to use some third party caddy but if it will not work correctly is another issue.

• Qosmio X 500-10T: what setting should I change after upgrade SSD?

  Hello community,

  I'll upgrade my Qosmio X 500-10T (currently with two 512 GB drive HARD, although only has data on it) with a Samsung 840 series 256 GB 2.5 in SATA SSD Pro and then perform a new installation of Windows 8.

  My question: what settings should I change once the switching plate?

  I think there may be some settings in the BIOS that may need to be changed.

  Also, it is recommended to remove the second HDD due to possible performance issues along the SSD?

  Are the drivers on the windows-compatible laptop computer support page 8?

  P.S. I read on UEFI, is there a way to update/upgrade existing in UEFI BIOS?

  I know it's a lot of questions, but any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  > My question: what settings should I change once the switching plate?
  > I think there may be some settings in the BIOS that may need to be changed.

  Usually, you do not need to change anything in the BIOS.

  > Also, it is recommended to remove the second HDD due to possible performance issues along the SSD?

  You may notice poor performance while moving or copying data from the SSD hard drive or SSD HARD drive.
  but to think that you can keep the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay for other files.

  > Are the drivers on the windows-compatible laptop computer support page 8?
  Do you think that some drivers Win 8 there?
  If so, they are...
  otherwise, you can try some Win 7 drivers in the frame to win 8

  > . I read on UEFI, is there a way to update/upgrade existing in UEFI BIOS?
  If you're going to see an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio X 500 with a serial number 6. XX or later version, then it would be a version of BIOS released to win 8 too

• Re: upgrade SSD on Qosmio X 300-112 does not work

  I currently own a Qosmio X 300-112 with two HD 200 GB at the moment, I would like to upgrade my Qosmio by replacing a HD 200 GB with a 64 GB SSD from OCZ (Vertex Turbo (OCZSSD2-1VTXT60G)), which has also a Serial ATA/300 interface. When I restart my Qosmio, the laptop does not pass the Qosmio welcome screen where you can choose F2/F12.

  When I pres F2 for the bios menu, nothing happens. When I press F12 for the boot menu, nothing happens. If I replace the SSD for the old HD, the system boots normally.

  Question: why I can't spend my Qosmio X 300 with a SSD?

  I m not a technician but there must be a compatibility problem.
  Why do you think you can use any HARD or SSD drive, you can find on the market?

  Best example is the upgrade of RAM. There is the same situation. Some brands and some Rams will work properly and some will not even recognized at startup upward.

  Have you tried to remove both hard drives and check if your laptop starts only with SSD?
