Update disk hard iMac 7.1 to SSD

Hi guys,.

Here, simple and fast. Because I have 1 million of Apple products, I would not hesitate to upgrade to the new iMac and would in a heartbeat. That being said, this thing WON'T DIE OR EVEN slow DOWN! This is the most amazing piece of technology I've ever owned!

I upgraded the iMac from its original 1 GB to 4 GB, now to run El Capitan. Take it from me, for an iMac 2007 7.1, it works very well. We are talking here 9 years.

Recently I got to know that I can also boost performance by changing to an SSD. Considering it's still practically the State up, don't want to DIY it. Where should I go? Help me keep this miracle machine will please [not that there is anything wrong with the current hard drive].

Thank you

Shah

Probably not at an Apple Store. They take over the material that is 5 years or less.

Are - you sure you want to an SSD?  I assume that you do not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a large SSD, but can a weight loss in drive to work for you?

Yes, a performance boost, but if it was me I would not that worth, taking into account the cost.  Is a 9 year old computer and a reasonable size disk + labor will cost you a few hundred to save a few seconds start time of application.

  • Lightroom cannot import photos from disk hard iMac and extern library

    Using the trial version I can't import pictures from the library drive hard iMac and extern. Libraries are gray and do not react. Why? And what to do?

    At present there are no plug-in to import the new photo App. If you want your photos to display any edition already made in iPhoto/Aperture/Photos, it is better for export versions to the desktop or create new folders in the Finder. Then import duplicates in Lightroom. You can also include IPTC metadata during the creation of new versions.

  • Satellite L15-S104: update disk HARD 120 GB stock 40 GB

    I have a Satellite L15-s104 laptop I want to improve the stock 40 Gig drive to a 120 GB 5400 RPM 8 Meg Cache hard disk my question is how can I delete the old harddrive. I need step by step instructions. Also is my portable drive an ATA-6 or ATA - 100

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    Your laptop HARD drive is IDE (ATA-6). I don't really know what is the maximum capacity of the disc HARD can be used on your laptop, but I assume that 80 or even 100 GB should not be a problem.

    Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. Hardware upgrade is not directly supported by Toshiba and this will be done by authorized service partners. Try to contact them. They should know for sure if you can use 120 GB HARD drive.

    In the lower corner, you will find the HARD drive cover fixed with two screws. Remove this cover. You will see him removing the drive is pretty easy. Disconnect the connector HARD drive mounting (out).

    After having done that, you should remove 6 screws that attach the HARD drive bracket and remove the HARD drive bracket.

  • Re: Update disk hard Equium A200-196 - hidden partition

    Having bought just my A200-196, I realize the original 80 GB hard drive will not be soon enough. I want to update before I add too much software. Question is what I do on the hidden partition "EISA Configuration". I guess if it is not present I won't be able to do a system restore. I don't know if I need to copy (clone) for the new 160 GB drive and if so what utility used to copy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Richard

    You are right. Vista operating system creates two partitions; one for the operating system and the other (hidden partition) for the restoration of the system.
    If you delete this partition, then you will not be able to use Vista's system restore feature

  • Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

    Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

    Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
    The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

    I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
    In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

    Very unhappy that it was not used much yet failed prematurely! Computers these days come with kill switches after a certain period of time after the purchase?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who might help.

  • Updated encrypted hard drive with Casper and lost my Office Activations

    My crypt company our hard drives with encryption of Symantec and bought Casper drive safe to copy the old hard drive to the new SSD. Everything installs without problem accept I lost my Office Activations. I am running Windows 7 and have the whole Office Suite including Visio and access. We run to Office 365. We changed support to my company and the new company doesn't seem to know how to give me activation which were loaded on my old hard drive information.

  • I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

    I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

    The disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state.  Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again.

    I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

    Any idea what's going on?
