Tecra R10 - hard drive upgrade for SSD

Can we say if it is possible to change the hard drive for an SSD?
It would be perfect!

Why is it not possible? As far as I know Toshiba proposes some models of the Portege with SSD and SATA drives.
For the time being SSDS are quite expensive and I don't think the best solution.
What is the reason for the exchange of HARD drive?
I still have no experience with SSDS, but I've read several articles ve noticed that Intel X25M should be good. According to the tests that has this HARD drive, comparing to other manufacturers, data transfer rate but it is quite expensive.

Anyway, when you replace the HARD drive please let us know how it works, and describe your experience with it. It can be very useful for other members of the forum.

Good luck!

    Hello

    I bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HARD drive. As a replacement, I bought the next SSD:

    Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB

    Unfortunately I don't have to work. On the BIOS, I see that the system recognizes the ssd. But the boots of system restore, or windows 8.1 detail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?

    Problems persist if the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.

    I have upgraded to the latest version of the bios to 3.7, but that did not change the result.

    If the BIOS recognizes the new SSD drive, the drive must be visible to the system.

  • Tecra M10 - HARD drive upgrade

    One sees no problem, replace the 160 GB HARD drive for a disk of 1 to I have already partitioned/formatted and installed XP PRO on the 1 TB HDD in my M-105 satellite and it works very well in there but he would prefer in the fastest latest TECRA laptop.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that this should not be a big problem since the SATA controller must handle the 1 TB HARD drive.

    You can test using the disk HARD of the M105 replacement is not difficult and the two units M105 and M10 supports the same SATA HDD.

    Hello

  • Lenovo x 240 HARD drive upgrade to SSD

    Hi all

    Need some advice. I recently bought a Lenovo x 240 1 TB HDD + 16 GB mSATA. I did some research and found that the 1 TB is a 5400 RPM one. I find that the Setup is a bit disappointing. When I up my laptop when watching videos, even gently, I noticed that the video crashes, stops or is interrupted then I think to replace the HDD with a SSD.

    A couple of questions, please.

    1. any suggestions for the SSD? who is compatible, what isn't? I understand that one SATA3?

    2. If I replace the HARD drive, I'll be able to restore everything? How can I migrate my Windows for the new SSD 8.1?

    Any suggestion is appreciated. I love the 240 x, if I could just improve performance a bit, so it'll be perfect.

    Thanks in advance guys / Lenovo team.

    It is useful in case you drop your laptop; It reduces the risk of the hard disk is damaged. Don't know about the details, but its power consumption is expected to be negligible.

  • Compaq CQ71-145EZ HARD drive upgrade to SSD

    Hi all.

    My drive hard Compaq CQ71-145EZ gives the death rattle, so I decided to replace it with an SSD (SATA II, 128 GB OCZ Octane).

    When I replace the existing with it, however, the BIOS does not recognize. I get an error 3F0 and a message saying that there is no disk drive.

    I have the installed Bios F.23 InsydeH20, but an unable to find a way to get the advanced features of the BIOS I've seen mentioned in other forums.

    Can someone tell me if this machine can take a SSD? What should I do to get the machine to recopgnize the drive?

    You need to head on over to the forums OCZTechnology.com. You can use the tutorials they have prepared for all types of OCZ SSD installed. You must prepare the SSD for installation.

    Here is a link to the Guide ABC 2013 OCZ SSD technology.

    You can download and use tit toolbox OCZ PC Bootable to install the SSD. Without a partition on the SSD it not to be recognized by the BIOS.

    Identify your SSD and follow the instructions. Your SSD Octane is not the SSD SATA2, SATA3. Octane SSD is a product of end of LIFE. Did you buy it second hand? It came with a three year warranty.

    Kind regards

  • Pavillion DV6215CA: HARD drive upgrade to SSD

    Hello

    I want to change my HDD for one SSD Kingston V300 120 G. I think that my SATA controller is ver 1.0 (1.5 Gb/s) but I'm not sure. The SSD is ver 3.0 (6 Gb/s) with backward compatibility with ver 2.0 (3 Gb/s).

    Does anyone know the NVA of the controller on the DV6215CA or if it is possible to put a SSD in this notebook?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Your laptop is a mobile intel 945 chipset series which only supports sata 1 (1.5 Gbps).

    For what it's worth, I recently installed and Intel 535 120 GB SATA III (6.0 Gbps) SSD in my notebook of professional HP nc6400 with the same chipset 945 like yours and it worked very well.

    The laptop is much more sensitive, even if the drive runs only 1/4 of its ability to transfer.

    Notepad starts a lot faster too.

  • HP 15-d005TU Notebook PC: upgrade HARD drive internal for laptop

    The internal HHD is short on free space and I need to replace it with a larger one. The existing one is 500 GB, SATA and 5400 RPM.

    What should I look for when you buy a new?

    Any internal HARD disk will be suitable and compatible or am I looking for something specific?

    Any internal hard drive 2 TB will be suitable and compatible?

    Since the existing one is using a 5400 RPM, one, can I use one with 7200 RPM? There will be compatibility and or overheating problems?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I don't think not laptop 2 TB drives are made with the rotation speed of 7200 RPM. They are all 5400. 7200 TPM is larger than 1 TB. But, to answer your question directly, you can use any 2.5 inch wide and 7mm or 9.5 mm thick hard drive SATA or SSD on the market. The physical dimensions of each of them are the same, that is the industry standard interchangeable. No compatibility or heating problems.

    See p. 81 of the manual here:

    Manual

    The access door on the bottom does not contain hard drive. Access to the hard drive takes a broad dismantling so be careful. It will jeopardise any warranty you have left.

  • The T60 SSD HARD drive upgrade

    I have a Lenovo T60 (2623-KFU) for about 3 years now, and it's always hard with no real problems. I was thinking some SSD solutions. Is it possible (and not void the warranty) to replace the hard drive with an SSD Fluxsol? I hope that the Motherboad/BIOS/others does not limit this anyway.

    Otherwise, I do not use my WWan device and was considering to replace care wireless with a SSD Mini PCI-e card. I know that blocking the BIOS a few components, but is the restriction to only wireless cards, or for all?

    Yes the SATA 2.5 inch SSD will work, but it is limited to SATA1 mode, you are able to change the hard disk without affecting the warranty because it is considered to be a customer replaceable unit or THOUGHT.

  • Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?

    If 'Yes'... what could be.

    I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum

    @Lord_Nikon

    In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

    He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

    One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

  • HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

    Thank you

    The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

    Data sheet

    6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

    Manual

    Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s5580t CTO Desktop PC Hard Drive Upgrade

    Hi all

    I was wondering if I could upgrade my hard drive to an SSD and leave the existing as a backup HARD disk drive? Is there in the machine? Thank you!

    In a Slimline desktop space is quite limited, even if an SSD is format 2.5 ".

    You can probably adapt Island SSD in the Bay which was taken over by the DVD player.   Set up as startup disk so that you can enjoy the performance gain. Buy the largest capacity SSD that is in the budget to upgrade.

  • Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
    I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    These are the specs on the site
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

    Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
    Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
    I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!
