the vaio l series upgrade to ssd

I have a Vaio L series two year while a (VPCL229FG).

I want to improve the internal HD 1 TB for an SSD or a hybrid SSD hard drive.

Is someone doing a swap on the hard drive of a vaio L series all-in-one? all the instructions of opening and the size of a HARD drive? I guess a 2.5 "HDD will work?

rumnyc,

I can't exactly comment on your model (VPCL229FG, support of Asia), but all series of VPCL2xxx should be the same. «The hard disk isn't a 2.5 ", this is a size HDD Desktop 3.5» If you use a 2.5 SSD "then you will need to need a 'conversion' support so he can adapt. The hard drive we located just under the bar in the back. You will need for the 4 screws and then with a holding/press unit and the other lifting stand. The hard drive under have 4 support screws, you will need to remove...

  • X100e upgrade to SSD - Apricorn EZ Gig II Fail

    X100e, W7 Pro 32. I'm upgrading to a concert of 80 X 25-M Intel SSD. I tried to Apricorn EZ Gig II cloning software and USB cable. (Original in the computer drive and the new drive connected to the USB.) When I installed the SSD, it wouldn't start. I don't know if it's due to problems of partition. (I does not change any of the original scores.)

    What is the easiest or best upgrade to SSD? I couldn't find step by step instructions. TIA.

    Hello

    Good point, Yangorang.  While the SSD is seen by the operating system as having "leads" and "sectors", information on SSDS are available as if it applied to DRAM in 4KiB pages (4 096 bytes).  If the SSD is partitioned so that departure of the disk volumes do not correct align, the SSD controller ends up having to perform several queries IO to access value of a sector of data because the information is stored on two pages of DRAM on the SSD.  At least, I think that this is how it works.

    Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 handle automatically alignment of the handle for SSD (like new ' format Advanced' hard drives that use 4KiB sectors instead of 512 bytes) doing a clean install of the operating system should do cela a non-issue.

    However, you can perform a manual realignment operation to move the limits of the information stored on an SSD so that sectors and the pages correctly line up between them.

    There is an excellent analysis of the question, as well as instructions on how to solve it here on the support forum for the supplier, OCZ, RAM and an SSD.

    You can upgrade to an SSD.

    The simplest method is to use an SSD as the Corsair Force 3 and don't forget that you buy the kit of migration.

    The migration kit comes with cloning software and a usb to SATA power cable that connects again SSD.

    It is recommended that you purchase and SSD that is approximately 256 GB in quality if you can find one that is affordable.

    Hello

    SVE11135CXW comes with Windows 8. Drivers for Windows 7 are not available for download. If you wish you can downgrade to Windows 7, but many features may not work in the absence of compatible drivers. The generic drivers of the operating system are installed automatically.

  • Updated the MacBook pro 13 mid-2014 SSD?

    I have a macbook pro 13 mid-2014. Apple would upgrade my 128 GB to 512 GB SSD? If Yes, for how long?

    There are aftermarket solutions such as http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq macbook-pro-retina-display-13-how-to-up...

    I don't think that Apple upgrades an SSD, once the computer has been purchased and is beyond the date of return of 2 weeks.

    Note: I do not know how to do it yourself can affect your warranty. I see some posts where people say that to replace your original drive if you need to take Apple computer for other services.  For some things that apple might consider a guarantee like no or even flat our refuses to do something with a computer, even if beyond warranty if they have an indication any anyone, but Apple did something inside a computer, but nor will they upgrade a SSD - it is intended (unrealistic) buy you a SSD which will be to always meet your needs.

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

    n-on-a-3-TB-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/Winclone/support/installing-Windows-on-a-Boot-Camp-partitio

    Thank you.

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

    1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Cs diskutil list

    6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

    / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

    5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

    8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

    diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

    diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

    10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    HII!

    IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

    The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
    They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

    Also...
    What's the deal with BIOS? : S
    I don't understand!
    If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

    Thank you!

    The restore CD will of course work.
    The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

    > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
    > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

    Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

  • End of 2015 21.5 "iMac16, 2 hard drive can be upgraded to SSD?

    I have reports that the iMac 16.2 (end 2015, 21.5 ", Core i5 2.8 GHz) is purchased with a normal hard drive and not a disc Fusion that it lacks the necessary connector for a basic SSD PCle.

    If anyone can check this? Is it possible to upgrade the original hard drive in this model? And what reading/writing speeds power you get with the original hard drive?

    The 'normal' (non-fusion) 1 TB HARD drive in your iMac is bound to a Sata connector inside, so I assume that the HARD drive is a 2.5 HDD drive '' standard'.

    So, it should be possible to replace it with a "standard" Sata SSD 2.5 ".

    There are many 256-, 500 or 1 TB 2.5 "SSD available and cheap. The speed is about 1/3-1/4 of the PCLe flash, but still a lot faster than HARD disk drives. However, the new iMacs are very difficult to open. And even if I changed a lot of SSD HARD drives I have no experience with the end iMac.

    You can search on the site of OWC, what your options are.
