the upgrade of T430s to with an SSD

I currently have a computer 14 "laptop T430s with a hard drive. I plan to upgrade to an SSD. My question is, in any 2.5 "SSD will be compatible with my laptop? Currently, I am planning to buy Samsung 840 EVO. I'm not sure if it is compatible (in terms of size and software) with my laptop. Thank you!

Edit: Don't think the link works (but you can google it). The dimensions of the SSD are 6.8 mm (height), 69,85 mm (width) and 100.08 mm (depth).

Moderator Note: link fixed.

The T430s will accommodate any 2.5 "wide of disk SATA thick 7mm, SSD or HARD drive, with a capacity of storage. The most common 9.5 mm discs are too thick to fit properly into the drive Bay and the rarest 12.7 mm thick fits any.

The T430s will be responsible for all speeds SATA SATA-III (6 Gb/s) Slower readers will still work but will not as fast. Fortunately, all current model drives are SATA-III it's probably not a problem.

    Hello! ProBook 6450 b. I want to upgrade my computer with mSATA SSD drive. I've got slot free mini-PCIE (what is expected for the WWAN card). The problem is that I don't know if this Probook (updated of course!) BIOS supports modyfications like this. Can anyone help?

    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.

  • Can not reinstall the upgrade of MS CS6 with CS4 MS series

    My organization purchased upgrade CS6 Master Suite in which we used a serial number CS4 Master Suite we had owned in December of 2012. The installation was very good. I'm now doing a clean install of a new SSD volume and it is is not letting me use the serial number CS4 MS, saying: this isn't a product calling. I thought maybe it was because I had always installed on another volume, so I disabled that settle, but I still got the same message.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    No, the CS4 was purchased in 12/2009, so it has nothing to do with the window of upgrade of last year. Or at least it shouldn't be!

    I was talking about buying CS6 not CS4 - and if the CS6 Installer got his calendar and upgrade windows mixed up. But forget this thought. A Kipper irrelevant.

    Simply contact Adobe since the user forums can help you with serial number problems.

  • The upgrade to Windows 7 with my Laserjet 3030 scanner

    I retired recently my PC and XP in exchange of new PC (HP) with Windows 7. Most of the time, everything went very well. Nice OS. However, I had to get a new driver for my HP Laserjet 3030 of HP to make it work with Windows 7. Their only choice was a universal driver for this printer. That worked well, except that I lost all my other features All in One printer scanner IE. The scanner is waiting for the PC, but it resets after 30 seconds without analyzing. I looked for additional drivers solve, but HP does not seem to offer to those who understand the scanner. Any suggestions?

    And Yes, I have a PDF reader and a printer. None of them has no menu to offer a solution. All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

    After more reflection and lack of comments on this issue, I decided to install XP virtual emulation to solve the problem. I use the scanner from time to time, is important to my home office, but can work with the obligation to switch to XP. I installed the feature on my computer from my wife when its software would not work in Windows 7 and it works fine. I think this solve my problems until HP gets with the program and supports drivers in order to cover all the features of the Laserjet 3030 All in one. Hope that this announcement will help others who have the same problem.

  • SSD Solid State drives: The upgrade of the Ultraportable X 40 and X 41

    Need some advice!

    I think the upgrade of my ultraportable Thinkpad X 40 of very slow 1.8 "HDD with one module SSD (a DRAM unit, not a flash). These modules are available but expensive and rare.

    There are obvious problems.

    Windows is optimized for disk SSD hard & uses a lot of disk streaming - possibly reducing the performance gains expected.

    Some technical documents I've seen indicates (at least on Linux) that a writing activity can be deferred from RAM instead, and there are also a few options on where the constantly updated files could be moved. Maybe Windows can be twisted (a little) but I'm not getting my hopes upward.

    Assuming that I could not even find a loan to do the upgrade - repair-depot

    1: DRAM SSDS do not need constant battery? If so - how does X 300 new Thinkpad not to lose your data when you pull out main battery - a local battery on the SSD unit maybe?

    2: If the SSD consumes power even in stop - the current-draw would be low enough to be met by the local SSDS without pulling on the main battery?

    3: some SSD upgrades fail to deliver the expected - performance gains because drivers cannot be updated level - and ur stuck with the original e/s speed without worrying.

    Since the 40 X 1.8 "HARD drive runs very slow though - could I stand a good chance of significant performance gains?

    4: has anyone found to the main battery life drop - instead of improve it-due to an SSD upgrade?

    5: Here's a link treated showing the whole 40 X SSD upgrade procedure in the life-color www.think4d.de/nbb/x41_ssd.htm

    Any comment is appreciated.

    Rob

    SSD requires no battery power to keep these data.   they work exactly like the removable flash high-speed media.

    SLC drives are faster than MLC drives.   If you can afford it, download a SLC drive.

    battery life will be better, but marginally.   I have an SSD in my X61s and she has added about 20 ~ 30 minutes more travel time when you use a battery 8 cells.

    Hi This is my first time asking something in the forums. (At least I think) Well anyway, I got the Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 "with the retina also runs the OS El captain. I do computer for school and sometimes animation video editing and ive noticed some performance as my projects get bigger and bigger issues. I want to improve my mac, but I'm not very tech savy and don't want to do something useless, so I had a few questions, I wanted to ask you.

    Do I need for my hard drive and my Ram?

    What effect will the upgrade of my Ram and what effect will be upgrading my hard drive with an SSD?

    I saw this SSD online and thought of novice opion that sounds get Id more bang for my buck (link) with her. Is this good? What more to kill? WiIll it still works? Could you suggest some other good affordable options?

    My next question if I decide to upgrade my Ram can provide you with some good affordable links to buy of new RAM sticks, is also 8 GB, the best he can do?

    My next question I watched a few videos online and by installing the updates level looks really easy and fast. But I use bootcamp (to play games sometimes), and I wanted to know if I save my files on my drive as ive seen people do videos, (something to wipe the drive and put it back in after installing updates) will be I lose my windows 7, I lost the disc to reinstall and he check so I really want to buy a new also do not want to lose the things I put in memory.

    From the retina MacBooks you is impossible to pass the ram as it is soldered to the logic board. As with the hard drive, it's just a card ssd and you can't get those anywhere because their hard to find.

  • After the upgrade to El Capitan, my iMac is very slow.

After the upgrade I have trouble with the speed of the m/c and the startup takes a lot of time. I can't use my Photos and export pictures to google reader. I tried to disable the antivirus change, not much. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Better to uninstall completely any anti-virus protection and all the apps 'cleaner '.

    most people here will agree that there is no need of these

    also make sure you have enough RAM 4 GB is really minimal.

  • I need to upgrade my Mac (MacBook white unibody mid 2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD

    I need to upgrade my Mac (white unibody MacBook mid-2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD: I look to buy upgrades site Crucial and OWC site and there is a little difference, in terms of money: it's better to buy the Crucial site or OWC site.

    MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    < re-titled by host >

    They have good tools to find compatible parts for your Mac models.  The OWC took is here

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

    OWC tends to have the most detailed information on the Mac.  If I look to the top of the part to OWC and review specifications.  OWC offers often information based on the Mac-specific tests.  If Crucial offer something similar for a substantially lower price, buy it from Crucial.  I'm sure they have a refund is not political, if a part they say is compatible.  I bought the RAM and SSD both Crucial and OWC.  From my experience, be it high quality.

    For the 2010 iMac, OWC also offers a "kit" (with the tools and support) to replace the hard drive of 3.5 inches with a 2.5-inch SSD.  Eventually, if it's a 27-inch iMac, I think that you can Add the SSD instead of replace the hard drive.  And they have self-produced how-to videos on the process, related to many of their lists of products.  OWC provides a lot of information with added value and service for Mac users.

    OWC also offers kits to replace the optical drive on some Macs (including MacBooks) with an SSD (as a secondary internal drive).

  • The upgrade with an SSD

    I plan on migration to an SSD soon. After the upgrade SSD will appear as drive E:? If so, how can I change the C: drive SSD? I use a computer house built, based on the motherboard ASUS P5K - E. The processor is Intel E8400 3.0 GHz. I have 2 GB of RAM. Please ask me for more details if you need it. Thank you!

    If I understand you correctly, you want to change your system so that the first disc (the one where Windows is installed, as well as all your programs) is a new SSD.

    Assuming that the new SSD is at least as large as your current system (c) partition and assuming that there are no other partitions on your current hard drive more (I assume that your current D: is a CD or DVD drive) the right way to achieve your goal would be to do the following:

    • Clone the current C: drive on the SSD drive (preferably, but not necessarily, in an external USB enclosure)
    • Turn off computer
    • Remove the existing computer C: drive
    • Physically install the SSD to the computer (for example, out of the outer shell)
    • Turn on the computer and restart
    • At this point, you can stop (a) or (b) install the old hard drive as a second internal drive or (c) put the old hard drive in the external box.  For one of the last two options, you can use the old hard drive for backup.  I would hold off the coast on the restructuring of the old hard drive for at least a few weeks until you are sure that all cloned correctly.

    If you are not using an external enclosure during the cloning operation (for example, you install the SSD as a secondary internal drive), you MUST shut down the computer WITHOUT REBOOTING and remove the original hard disk before rebooting.  (See, however, notes Anna me at the end of this response.)

    If you want to have the two former players and new internally, be sure to log in using the appropriate connector and set the jumpers to ensure that the SSD is considered to be the main or the "master" drive

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

    What follows is a very old post of 'Anna' in the Microsoft support newsgroups (the predecessor of "Microsoft Answers", which, in turn, was the predecessor of the current "Microsoft Community."  I edited the message refer only to cloning, rather than "Disc imaging" as well (another method of backup not useful in your situation). Although some details have changed with the new versions of the software, it is always interesting to read:

    Detailed instructions for the use of Acronis True Image leprogramme to clone a hard drive

    Within the framework either of these two backup & recovery process, you are
    dealing with two hard drives - source & destination records say.
    the source is the HARD disk drive you want to save and the destination disk
    is the HARD disk that will be the recipient of the cloned content of the
    source disc or the recipient of the disk image that you create.

    When you use both methods, it is usually best for most users to use a
    drive external HARD as the disk of destination, i.e. the recipient of the cloned
    content of the source diskette or the recipient of the disk image created. This


    can be either a USB or Firewire cable or external SATA HARD drive. While the other internal
    HARD drive can also serve as the destination disk, that there is an additional element
    safety in the use of an external HARD drive because this player will normally be
    disconnected the system except for the cloning disk or recovery
    process.

    Here are the step by step instructions for
    by using the Acronis True Image 9 program to clone the content of a HARD disk to
    external HARD disk. (The steps are essentially the same using the latest ATI 10)
    (version):

    1. with two hard drives (source & destination disks) connected, start.
    Ensure that no other storage device, for example, flash drives, ZIP drives, etc.,.
    are connected. It is also probably a good idea to close all programs, you
    may have to work in the shadow - including any antivirus antispyware
    programs - before this disk-to-disk cloning operation.

    2. access to the Acronis True Image 9 program, under "Pick a task", click
    on 'Clone disk '. (In version 10 of ATI, click "manage hard disks" in the)
    "Choose a tool" box, and on the next screen click 'Clone disk').

    3. in the next window "Welcome to the Disk Clone Wizard!", click Next.

    4. in the next window of the "Clone" Mode to select the automatic option (it should
    be the default option selected) and click Next.

    5. on the next window of 'hard drive' Source, ensure that good source
    HDD (disk you duplicate of) was selected (highlight).
    Click Next.

    6. on the next window of 'hard disk of Destination', ensure that good
    destination of HDD (disk you duplicate to) has been selected (even once, click
    to highlight). Click Next.

    7. in the next window, select the option "delete partitions on the.
    destination hard disk. Understand that all data currently on the disk which
    will be that the recipient of the clone will be removed before the disk cloning
    operation. Click Next.

    8. the next window will reflect the disc source and destination. Once again
    confirm that the correct commands have been selected. Click Next.

    9. on the next window, click on the button continue. A message box appears
    which indicates that a restart will be required to undertake the drive cloning
    operation. Click on restart.

    10. the cloning operation will pronounce on reboot. With modern
    components and a medium to high power processor, data transfer rate will
    be in the range of approximately 450 MB/min at 800 MB/min during cloning to
    an external USB HARD disk. much faster when cloning to another internal
    HARD DRIVE.

    11. when the cloning operation has been completed, a message
    indicating the disk cloning process was a success, and ask you to
    Shut down the computer by pressing any key. Do it and unplug your USB
    external HARD disk.

    If, however, the destination drive was another * internal * HARD drive, see the
    NOTE below.

    12 note that cloned content now residing on the external USB HARD drive take
    on the file system of the source drive. For example, if before the
    disk cloning operation your USB external HDD was formatted FAT32 and
    your XP operating system has been formatted to NTFS, the cloned content will be formatted in NTFS.
    There is no need to format the USB external HARD disk before the disk cloning
    operation. Similarly, it is not necessary before the operation of disk cloning
    to format a drive HARD internal if use you a drive HARD internal as the
    destination drive.

    13. the system restore can be performed by cloning the content of the
    data from the external DRIVE for a normal HARD internal disk drive
    process of cloning such drive as described above.

    NOTE: Just another point which should be emphasized with regard the
    the recipient of the clone disk cloning operation would be an another intern
    HARD drive and not a USB cable or Firewire external HARD disk. Immediately after the disk
    cloning of the machine must be decommissioned and the source that HARD drive should
    be disconnected. Boot ONLY on newly cloned drive. CAN I NOT BOOT
    IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION OF CLONING WITH TWO CONNECTED DRIVES.
    It is quite possible that in doing so, it is likely to cause future
    starting with the cloned disk problems. Of course there is no problem in this
    area should be a port USB or Firewire EHD be the beneficiary of the clone since
    device is not usually bootable in an XP environment.

    **************************************************************************************************

    LEM:

    As you may know not my previous posts about this issue of cloning/disk-image disk, I am rather partisan passionate about Casper 6 - disk cloning program and highly recommend this comprehensive program for most PC users as a backup tool. (I recognize that this is probably of little interest to the OP because I guess it is concerned primarily or exclusively with cloning just the content of its failure (apparently) HARD drive to a newer HARD disk. And it seems that it may have other problems as well!)

    The reason for this post is in my "NOTE" (quoted above) caveat regarding the sea program. I wanted to mention that one of the main reasons we prefer program Casper to other disk cloning programs (for example, the Acronis one) is that, unlike these other programs Casper completely avoids this potential problem I did reference.

    During the two years since we started working with the Casper drive cloning program we had done (or were involved with) hundreds of disk cloning operations, involving a wide variety of PC brands/models, hard disks (both PATA & SATA), etc. During this time, we have never met a * single * instance of the problem raised. IE a user could clone the contents of his HARD 'source' to another disc * internal * HARD drive and would not (possible) later problem affecting the ability to start the (cloned) destination HARD disk even when the system was booted to the HARD drive with the cloned HARD disk connected source * immediately * after the disk cloning operation.

    Under this scenario the cloned HDD would be obviously treated as a HARD secondary, a drive letter assignment drive of (obviously) other than C:. However, the source disk HARD later disconnect so that would imply the boot * only * the newly cloned HARD drive, this drive would start without incident and be granted the 'normal' C: drive letter assignment.

    In addition, two hard drives must be connected in the system and the user changes the BIOS boot priority setting to accommodate a first start at the cloned disk as HDD will start without incident. And, of course, the ancient source THAT HDD would be then treated by the system as a secondary as HDD should in these circumstances.

    And if the user decides to start at the disk of origin at a later time (for some reason any), the boot of this player would normally occur.

    I thought that the information above might be interesting for you & others.
