• Unrecognized internal SSD

  Hello, I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012. About 2 years, I've updated the hard drive for an SSD crucial. A few days earlier, I tried to boot my macbook, and he gave a flashing folder with a question mark symbol which I understand means the disc is not recognized hard. I have given my old hard drive and that worked well and the macbook could even start using the attached SSD external via USB, but whenever I put it into the Macbook internally, it seems not to be recognized, so I'm not sure. The cable seems to work because my original hard drive works of him, the SSDS works when used outdoors.

  I think that the last thing that happened before it stopped working was a time machine backup that worked as I have restored my original of the hard drive, but I can't have ejected my drive external hard time machine correctly so I don't know if that caused an error with my SSD that was backing for it. Suggestions for my SSD to work internally again would be appreciated.

  Install a new internal SATA cable.  A search of these forums will grow many users with the same problem: HARD + SSD drive working outside when it is connected through the USB port.  HARD drive works internally, but the SSD does not internally.

• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal

  My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.

  I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.

  The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.

  I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
  Could you give me a link for such adapter?

  The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).

  There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
  The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.

  In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
  This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profile

  I'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available

• Resize the internal SSD flash drive

After installation, I realized there was an amount unallocated free space (209,91 GB) I have involuntary partitioned. I tried to resize the disk several times through various tutorials and searches on google with no luck. Can anyone help?

• can I move my directory of my flash drive SSD internal to my internal hard drive using OSZ 10.11

  Start getting tight on space and just noticed that my directory where to put the word, excel docs, pdf files, e-mail, etc. is actually on my SSD. I would like to move into my internal hard drive because it is bigger... I can do this without causing havoc on my Mac. I use an iMac 27 "mid-2011 running OS X 10.11.

  Thanks for the help.

  Yes, it's what I do with a dual SSD/HDD disk configuration.

  

  I keep my iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie libraries on HARD drive.

  I also pushed some non-essential app and the files on the HARD drive.

  Last but most important, you have a good backup of SSD and HDD...?

• I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. From LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38 K stored on my SSD to form

  I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

  I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

  You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

  Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

• Time for a new internal SSD transfer machine

  My old hard drive my mid 2009 MacBook Pro finally got and no longer works. I have a time Machine back to the top and a new internal SSD.

  How can I start the computer and load my backup to the new drive? I don't know that there are a few steps between the two. Oh and I don't have an OS X startup disk if that would help?

  The simplest way will set up an installer of the USB flash drive to use as a boot drive. You may need to use Mac a friend or go to an Apple store for it.

• Run Windows 10 from an external SSD drive? Yes, it works!

  That's what I did to make it work. The whole process takes about 45 minutes, but I think that it really is worth it if you want to run quick and clean Windows 10 on your iMac.

  What you need:

  • An SSD external - data is deleted
  • An iMac 27 "(end of 2013 in my case)

  Temporarily, for the installation, you will also need:

  • A computer with Windows 7, 8 or 10 to copy the correct files on the SSD drive and make it bootable
  • A computer running with OS X download BootCamp
  • A USB - data is erased

  First, in Windows, you get a file ISO for Windows 10. You can use the media to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 authoring tool and choose to save it as ISO file (do not create a USB bootable media).

  1. Double-click on the. ISO file. This will mount the disk to install on a disk (in my case, the letter E).
  2. Connect the SSD drive to a free USB port
  3. Open an administrator command prompt and type:
     1. DiskPart
     2. list disk (to identify your external SSD drive number)
     3. select disk 2 (or another number to your external SSD drive, make sure you do not erase your internal drive, usually on 0).
     4. clean - be careful, if you have selected the wrong disc, erase all the data on it
     5. create part pri
     6. Quick format
     7. assign letter = O (or another letter if already used)
     8. assets
     9. output
     10. DISM/apply-image /imagefile:"E:\sources\install.esd" / index: 1 /ApplyDir:Y:------(change E to another letter for the ISO file mounted)
     11. BCDBOOT. EXE Y:\WINDOWS/s Y:/f BIOS (so that the boot in the BIOS only drive (not EFI))
     12. output
     13. Eject all disks properly or simply shut down your PC.

  Then on your Mac, open the wizard BootCamp (click on Launchpad and type "bootcamp" to find) and check ONLY "download the latest software of Apple's Windows support. Save it on your USB thumb drive. Stop your iMac. Remove the USB key and keep it in your hand.

  Turn on your iMac by pressing the option (alt) key. You will see an orange icon with Windows. Select this option and wait until you see 'Getting ready devices', wait a little longer until you hear the startup chime and press the option (alt) key to make sure that start you on the external hard drive. That's all!

  Now you have a copy of Windows from your external USB drive. You just need to install the BootCamp drivers on your USB (\Bootcamp\Setup.exe). Reset.

  Oh, you have 10 Windows running natively on your beautiful iMac.

  Enjoy!

  The answer is in the response. I don't know how to post a tip!

• How to replace the internal hard drive and continue with existing Time Machine backups

  I have a time Machine airport TB 3 attached to the Ethernet port on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 7.1. It has a 1 TB internal SSD I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to a 2 TB OWC drive. The last time I did it, I had to start my Time Machine backups.

  
  

  Is it possible to find 1 the UUID the new SSD, and 2-implementation to date, some sort of Time Machine (perhaps with TMUTIL) 3 information - should allow continuity with the existing backups?

  What should I do to the hardware and software level?
  Can I take any SSD?

  Thanks for the help?

  Best regards, Florence

  The HDD or SSD drive update requires no special modifications in the software or hardware.
  You need a compatible player SATA SSD 2.5.

  Here is a nice and very useful document how to upgrade / replace the Portege R830 & Satellite R830 series SSD or HARD disk drive.

• Add hp Zbook G3 studio additional ssd - drive surgestions

  Dear community,

  I would add an additional SSD to my Hp Zbook g3 studio. I found that the following SSD is compatible with my laptop but unfortunately it was sold for the last 2 months.

  Essential MX200 m2 Type 2280 (Single Sided) 500 GB internal SSD

  Therefore, I have a few questions about an additional SSD:

  -Is it better to add an SSD of 500 GB and the use of external storage or a 1 terabyte SSD?

  -Each SSD 2280 m2 (single Sided) is compatible with my laptop?

  - And what is someone knows an SSD alternative to the above which is compatible with my laptop?

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Greetings,

  Rick,

  The complexity of all this is the way out of hand. What you are, it is a SATA m2. I just put a disc of NVME m2 (aka PCI-e) of 512 gigabytes in my G3 Zbook (no studio). I know that your laptop is a little different, but I'm pretty sure that it's the same kind of m2 of housing and I don't know that a SATA would work. I know that it doesn't work the other way around. If the laptop is made for the m2 SATA drives only, you cannot use a PCI-e. In fact, I installed an official part of HP. The ordering process is another question, but let's say I got it, and it turns out to be a Samsung SM951:

  https://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-SM951-512GB-NVMe-MZVPV512HDGL-00000/DP/B015CWR4M2/ref=pd_lpo_147_tr_t_3?ie=UTF8 & PSC = 1 & refRID = YA2TAQZPDE3NNQCWCNSH

  I used it to replace a Samsung PM951 256 concert which is like the PCI-e m2 budget model, so I know that two of them are working.

  Look at the pictures and you can see a difference. The SATA drive has 3 pins that plug in and the PCI-e has only 2.

  The manual on page 2:

  Manual

  Specifies EITHER a SATA m2 or a PCI-e, so you can be OK, but I'll tell you a PCI - e has double or triple the speed of read/write.

  Mine supports 2 x m2 and a 2.5 inch SATA. Your accepts 2 x m2 I read the manual and what appears to be a 2.5 inch non-standard SD

  I actually still the 256 PM951 concert. We can help you find something compatible and I can tell you that the HP part was estimated at a very favourable point (about the same as the Crucial which is out of stock) If you can't stand waiting rather difficult and slow checkout process.
