• Tecra R950-104 - can I replace ODD with SSD?

  Hello

  Is it possible to replace my DVD drive with an SSD with a HARD Drive Caddy?

  My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra R950-104.

  Kind regards

  Luis

  Hello

  I found on the internet some UltraSlim SATA HDD/SSD mounting frame that allow the use of 2nd 2.5 HDD/SSD drive instead of ODD in Notepad Tecra R950 but to be honest I m not 100% sure if the BIOS recognize such additional device.

  I know that computers Toshiba laptop (Portege and Tecra) series different takes in charge these updates in the past but this replacement was not supported by each laptop model.

  It depends on the BIOS and in the event that the BIOS recognize the 2nd HDD/SSD drive, the system should be able to recognize 2nd HARD drive

• Replacing the CD/DVD with SSD

  Hi, I have a mid-2009 13 "Macbook, and I plan to replace the CD/DVD drive (which it doesn't) with an SSD, instead of replacing it with a new CD player.

  I would move so that OSX and software on the new SSD, leaving other data on my main hard drive. I read that the best solution is to install OSX on the SSD from scratch, since migration it seems impossible, but how then I could remove the 'duplicate' old of my HDD main OSX?
  The entire migration process is not quite clear to me, I wouldn't mind some step by step instructions.

  Thank you in advance!

  1st, I did it on an iMac, so I went through it.

  You can use a utility cloning as Carbon Copy clone (demo fully active 1 month) or SuperDuper free (free for a full clone) to move your boot disk for SSD and it will be fully functional.  In my case, I used Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is even technically possible to use the Applications-> utilities-> disk utility-> restoration as a means to clone the drive, but I find it cumbersome.

  <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html>

  <https://www.bombich.com/>

  I think you could also just restore a backup Time Machine for the SSD as well (although I did not do that, so I don't know the details).

  You can do a clean install and get rid of any cruft you've accumulated over the years and then install only the stuff that you are currently using.

  Or you could do a clean install and then use the Applications-> utilities-> Migration Wizard move above specific categories of files of initial startup disk.

  After you have the SSD running with your software on it, consider allowing TRIM

  I used OWC <http://MacSales.com> kit data-Doubler to replace my iMac DVD by an SSD.  They provided everything I needed.  I chose a kit including the tools I needed.  I also watched the OWC installation videos, as well as on YouTube to become familiar with the installation.  And I had a copy of the instructions to disassembly <http://iFixIt.com> and images to print for reference, while doing the installation.  I would have recorded any screws that I removed the instructions that told me to remove that screw then I would make sure I would put the correct screws into the appropriate holes.

• HP 15-AC143WM: replace the DVD with SSD drive

  Hello

  After looking through the maintenance and Service of Guide for your PC, I have to say Yes... but...

  Here is the link so you can read it for yourself: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04653884

  As I see it, there are three issues: space, connector, fixed support.

  It seems that a hard drive from a laptop computer could insert in the space left by the optical drive, it is so probably not a problem.

  It there is no second set of connectors of SATA HDD, but since the DVD player doesn't use the same connectors as a hard drive, you can use those-, given that those who are not designed to be used for a hard drive, they will fit, but they may not work.

  The biggest problem is the lack of a fixed support for the hard disk.  The optical drive is designed to exactly fit the space and is held firmly in place with a screw in the case of the laptop.  There is no support for the holding of a hard drive in this space and most likely, no way to attach it to the case.  You don't want a hard drive slide in the optical drive bay, then for me, it would be a show-stopper.  If you were willing to consider a SSD instead, this wouldn't be a problem.

  And finally, and above all, it is my view of your personal situation. I does NOT represent or speak for-HP, so if you want to do this as an experiment, you're on your own - any damage resulting will void any warranty you have and you'll be on the hook to fix at your own expense.

  Good luck

• Satellite M30: Replace DVD with additional HARD disk?

  Hello!

  As my Satellite M30-642 does not offer a modular Bay for the installed switches and I have a DVD burner for USB that I can use I think try an experiment: withdrawal of the DVD drive and replace it with an extra HDD/SSD.

  As SSDS are very light, have no moving parts and does not necessarily need screws to be installed and the slot DVD brings the IDE and this could work to power connector. The DSS must be placed inside an old and updated the slimline cd-rom so that the change is not visible and the laptop is safe from dust etc.

  Has anyone tried something like this before? Are there solutions to buy for Sat M30 (2004 vintage)?

  Cheers, obreitfelder

  Hello

  As far as I know the Sat M30 doesn t support the slim select Bay and, therefore you cannot use this adapter instead of the CD/DVD drive.

  Sorry, it is not possible

  Good bye

• becomes 4:3 16:9 cases coded on DVD with still

  Hello

  I have the three sequences in a project.  Two HD 16:9 and one is a slide show of 4:3, which comes from a presentation power point.  When I burned to Blu - ray again using all came out in the correct proportions.  However, when I burned the same project 3 sequence to mpg 2 slide show 4:3 DVD is released the 16:9 and, of course, the geometry of the peak is incorrect.

  First of all, are there any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

  Secondly, I can't understand why this happened with the DVD and not Blu - ray?  BTW, when I have a reading on the monitor still the 3rd sequence shows the good aspect 4:3 ratio.

• HP ENVY - m7-k211dx: replaced HD with SSD again, impossible to install network drivers

  Hello

  HD on HP ENVY m7-k211dx not dead, no recoverable data. Figured why not install an SSD so replaced by a new Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB.

  Note: I have built many computers to office since the Pentium 4 days, consider myself as an amateur

  Installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit without any problems (after activating the suport inherited in BIOS)

  Downloaded all the drivers from the HP site and copied on DVD

  Record fell with drivers on the desktop

  installed the chipset driver sp73543.exe, restarted everything is fine

  Installed USB driver sp70645.exe, restarted everything is fine

  Then tried to install two network drivers downloaded for this laptop specific to HP for LAN and Wireless support Web site:

  RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE Realtek 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Drivers -sp69888.exe

  Realtek LAN (LAN) driver -sp68120.exe

  First tried to LAN, Ran exe, checked the license agreements, etc. and it started to install, after a few seconds and error message pops up:

  "FindFile failed.

  After the closure of this pop-up a new error message:

  "Realtek network controller is not found. If deep sleep Mode is activated Please cable.

  Then tried wireless installation, after that starting exe command winow popped up a few seconds showing:

  "Please wait for the installation.

  close the window after a few seconds, nothing after that

  After trying several times to install drivers with the same exact results I went by the process of reinstalling Windows and go thru the pilot again installation process with the exact same reslts. Downlaoed new drivers with same accurate results

  Clues as to what may happen?

  Thank you and my apologies for the wall of text

  Hello:

  Normally the ethernet driver will install if you do not first install the chipset driver.  Since you've done, it's a good question, why you notification of deep sleep.

  Try the driver ethernet directly from Realtek and see if it works... 3rd driver on the list.

  http://www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?langid=1 & PNid = 13 & PFid = 5 & Level = 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & getdown = false

  Wireless should be easier to correct... parts list indicates that your laptop comes with an Intel 7260 AC wireless network adapter.

  I see no W7 wireless or bluetooth drivers listed for this card on the HP website for your laptop, so use the latest Intel.

• Can I replace HHD with SSD in G570 4334 laptop computer 43344JU

  I have a laptop of Lenovo G570 4334 43344JU. It has a Pentium Intel B940 2.0 GHz processor,

  Conditioning LGA1155, Chipset ID 1 49. And the HARD drive is a HITACHI 320 GB SATA II 2.5 INCH HTS543232A7A384.

  Windows 7 Ultimate is installed on this computer.

  I want to replace the HARD drive by an Intel SSD 240 GB. Is it possible to replace only the current with HARD drive

  for example, an Intel 530 240 GB internal 2.5 inch Solid State Drive without changing the other hardware components such as the drive controller?

  Hi lor1cal,

  Welcome to the Forums.

  Yes, it is possible to replace the stock 2.5 "SATA HDD to a 2.5" SATA SSD.

  To put you on the SSD, you can:

  1 clone stock HDD to the SSD with Paragon Backup & Recovery Home 12 (free trial) or:

  

  2. perform a clean installation on the SSD using a Windows 7 bootable disc. If you do not have a bootable media and you only have a license key, you can get a Windows 7 ISO on this Web site. To create a bootable USB key, see this guide.

  Hope this helps

• Replace merge with ssd drive, cannot be done?

  My hard drive of my iMac 27 ", end 2012, is running out. It has a fusion of 1 TB drive.

  I asked the service guy how much it would cost to replace the 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD drive.

  He said that one cannot do. He claims that the only thing that can be installed is a 'disk original Apple', given that she is a fusion player, he has several sensors that a regular disk or an ssd, does not.

  Is this true? I thought drive merger was only a software technology "pair" a small disc with an older hard drive ssd.

  Of course, it is possible, but understand that the HARD drive in the computer has a special sensor used for the detection of the temperature and the fan control. In addition, what you ask is probably not an Apple authorized the change. A Fusion drive uses the features of Mac OS X CoreStorage to create the Fusion drive and manage. However, in itself a Fusion drive does not require any special equipment unless one you have used flash PCI-e instead of a real SSD memory.

  If your computer is no longer under warranty and complete loss of any future Apple support doesn't bother you, then you can make the change yourself.

• Replacing HDD with ssd.

  Hello

  my laptop is Acer E5 - 573G, with 10 Windows in dual-boot with Kubuntu 14.04

  I think to replace the hard disk ssd, because Windows startup is very slow.

  I would like to know if this operation is very difficult, I've never used with laptops, but I set up my desktop pc.

  There is a guide on the internet for this operation?

  Thank you.

  It is not that hard, take your time and prepare yourself well, there is a video in German but easy to follow the procedure, be careful at 02:27 for the elimination of the seal of motherboard.

• Replacement of with SSD HD improves the battery life?

  MacBook Pro 13 "mid-2010.  My MBP is faking a bit slow compared with my Mac Pro 5.1 running an SSD as drive.  I have reviewed a SSD in the optical Bay Assembly or Assembly may be two SSD...

  How this may affect the life of the battery, is the original battery, I rarely use the MBP otherwise that plugged into the power, the count charge cycle is ~ 240.  If left for a week running but not connected, the MBP is run flat battery.

  Having two SSDS put more pressure on my battery or reduce his load? Whereas a Crutial 250 GB or two.

  A MBP will always run slower than a MacPro.

  SSD will affect the life of the battery for the better - less parts to be driven by the mobile battery

• Pavilion 15 - an058: replace hd with ssd on star wars Pavilion 15?

  I have a pavilion hp 15 - an058ca (the star wars one). I don't like that it has a drive in sata hard and want to put in an SSD. the thing is, I can't for the life of me understand how I would get it if I did. is this possible? everything else does? is there a technical documentation on how to get it? the manuals I can find via google are not quite the right model and seem to have a way somewhat different from getting in.

  I can see where I take the screws, I can see how to get the optical drive out and how to get live them their which set the top on the cd tray. I can even see how down the hind legs. but I don't see how to get the 'high' rest off. and it is apparently the only access?  Thanks for any advice you can give.

  On this one actually access you the base. See page 49 of this manual:
