Update of small SSD at big SSHD or SSD?

I recently bought new x230T because of price special promo, however, I realized the disc somehow, the space is very small (128 GB), as I am a media professional I need more space.

I was wondering if it would be OK to replace the 128 SSD that was previously installed in the laptop which has install windows 7 with the largest capacity such as SSHD Seagate 500 GB? It would compromise the speed and performance if I switch to SSHD? I thought Samsung 840 250 GB SSD also, but I felt that 500 GB would be ideal to accommodate my needs of work (websites, videos, graphics, etc.).

If I use Acronis Migrate or software EZ move would be the new drive SSHD or SSD will work after replacement the same as the old SSD assuming everything goes normal including multi touch feature functionality, stylus and Tablet etc?

I look forward to your reply

Kind regards

Marty

Welcome to the forum!

Stay with SSD - SSHD will be definitelky most negatively affect your laptop paerformance - and get good deals around you...

Happy update.

  • Want DV6-7300ea problem of updating Bios with SSD

    Hello

    Recently, I swapped my HARD drive to the STRANGE Bay and put an SSD in the startup location.  Everything works fine until it was update the BIOS to the new version F.26.  After having downloaded the update and run the .exe, the computer restarts and the normal blinking screen comes up - everything seems as it should and checks the update. Then, the system reboots and what I see is a black screen with the fan turns. He accomplishes this task for 30 seconds, then stops and goes through the same routine. I left for an hour, but no progress so I removed the battery and swapped the HARD drive in the main Bay. Put running the laptop and it displays the screen "Boot Block update" and continued to work as usual.

    No idea why he won't not on-screen "update Boot Block" with the SSD in as peripheral to start?

    When you start the update of the BIOS ROM file performs a check of the configuration of the laptop. The coding of the met the STRANGE unexpected update and configuration SSD as your laptop went into a loop. When you have returned the laptop on its original config that apparently satisfied with the softpaq update BIOS and completed its task. Now, we know the results of the portable non-standard configurations on the BIOS updates.

    Thanks for posting this has happened and the final result.

  • How can I make a full copy of the C drive to a smaller SSD for one SSD more?

    My C drive is currently a 149 GB SSD.  I want to replace it with a new, unformatted 256 GB SSD.

    I would like to know 1) if there are specific things to be aware before you format the new drive.
    (2) how to copy all of my current C: drive on the new SSD, and
    (3) how to assign my new, bigger than my C: drive so that I can then format my old smaller SSD as a clean player.
    Rob

    I put the new drive as SATA port 0 (or 1, depending on where your begins).

    You can use Clonezilla to clone:
    Should work just fine. It will automatically affect the C: drive. Just make sure that it is configured to start first in the BIOS (won't matter on the drive letter, but you don't want a start - they look identical other than the disk space).

  • Update Bios of SSD PCIE optimized

    Hi, I would like to know if that optimized pcie x 4 NVMe SSD Bios Update will work on my VN7 - 791 G. It has listed for the VN7 - 792G as well as update the audio drivers Realtek that are not listed for mine (same Realtek audio though) so I see not why there is a conflict. Even with the Synaptics touchpad driver. I think maybe that the Acer update page is not up-to-date on my older Nitro.

    I don't see how the Chipset Intel driver would not work (I think) because I am running Haswell not Skylake.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    It will not work to be short. The checkum will see that the BIOS is not designed for the G 791 and it will not install it.

    Go where are you sure that 791G also has support of Nvme?

  • Convert a small SSD using PC Restore fuller?

    Can I use complete PC Backup/Restore to convert a disk hard solid state of my office?  The SSD is small (128 GB) than current hd (250GB).  Looks like this answer has been 'No', but I just wanted to confirm that I'm not missing something.  Seems that the problem is that complete PC Restore does not restore to a smaller disk that was backed up (although I use 30 GB of it).  As SSDS become more popular, seems like it might be a problem.  Am I missing something?  Can I do it?  What happens if I decrease my original 250 GB 1 partition down as much as possible and leave the rest not allocated?

    There is a restriction that the player restore you tomust be at least as large as the original. To quote:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx

    Because the backup of the computer includes a picture of all of the computer, some restrictions apply when restoring to different hardware. First of all, the backup image contains drivers that are used to start the machine after the restore is completed. In rare cases, the pilots needed to start on the new machine could not be present. This can happen when you restore an image backup taken on one type of disk controller (IDE, SATA, or SCSI) for another type of disk controller. Even in this case, it is still a good chance that you can complete the restore successfully, because the common Windows drivers included in the backup of the image would probably compatible.
    Second, the restoration cannot be carried out if the new computer has at least the same number of hard drives and each hard disk is at least as large as the original, it replaced. Don't forget these restrictions if you plan to use the backup of the computer for the migration to new hardware.

  • Updates for the SSD of 32 GB LITEON m2 on a special edition of Dell XPS-8900.

    Has anyone successfully upgraded Cache SSD m2 on their system XPS-8900?

    I have a Dell XPS-8900 that I bought a few months ago, and you want to update the cache of hard drive SSD m2.  The system has 2 to 7200 RPM hard drive + Cache SSD of 32 GB m2, 16 GB of memory (which I'm upgrading to 32 GB) and the processor i7 - 6700 k.

    I tried to replace it with either the Samsung 850 EVO m2 250 GB SSD or the Samsung 950 PRO NVMe 256 GB SSD.  I read in another post on the forum that the limit for XPS-8900 in the m2 slot was 256 GB.  Anyone know if this is correct?

    If anyone has any ideas on how I can change my system to tighten a bit more performance out of my system, I'd greatly appreciate your ideas.  It seems a little slow at startup and loading applications than I expected.

    It is not necessary to install a larger disk for use as a cache - it won't do much (if any) for performance.  There is a valid argument by replacing the disk cache with an SSD of larger m2 and then by installing the operating system on this drive (that is, running in native mode of SSD).  That WILL stimulate the acceptable performance.

    I doubt that there is a limit on the capacity of the drive - but there is no doubt about the physical size of the map itself.  Note that this system is NOT wired with an interface of PCIe 4 ways - then install a player is not worth the extra cost, because it will be limited by the design of the motherboard.

  • Uprgrading to a smaller SSD hard drive

    I just bought a touchsmart TX2-1370us Tablet and want to exchange it the drive with an SSD of 128gig 320gig. When I do that and try to restore the system with my recovery disk, it gives me an error that the drive is smaller than the original. How to make it work with to purchase a copy of Windows 7? I tried ghost my original disc to my new SSD, but it won't let me start when I talk about.

    It is VERY frustrating that I can't just Exchange my player and updgrage to something more fast.

    Any suggestions?

    Problem solved. Thanks for the tips on Acronis True Image.

    On my first attempt to mirror from my hard drive to my new SSD using this software, I chose not all partitions, so I wasn't able to get my tablet to boot from my new drive.

    On my second attempt, I created a backup of all partitions on the disk. I recorded this backup file on my desktop. Then I plugged my new SSD drive in an external USB enclosure and which connected to my laptop. Then, I got the backup file on my new SSD. When this was complete, I swapped drives was started for as small, but fast SSD drive.

    Thanks again for the tip on the software. He was free and worked perfectly.

    HP Notebook of 13 Stream with 4 G from T - Mobile + Win only 1.2 GB left on disc SSD of 32 GB after that I updated Win 8.0, 8.1.

    I installed the Norton Security Suite, MS Office 365, and Google Chrome Web browser. 1.2 GB seems OK. However, from time to time, he goes up to 250 MB. I have to restart the laptop.
    Is this normal? Are there solutions?

    I know that someone tried to remove the non-removable 7.1 GB recovery partition. It does not work. I know that someone used SD card to install additional programs. However, three program installed by do me not required enormous space.

    A I missed something? Any advice will be appreciated.

    Run Disk Cleanup, open windows Explorer and right click on the C drive, select Properties.

    On the general tab, click Disk Cleanup, it will work for a minute or two, when it is made to another window opens, click Clean Up system files now, he will run again, this time will give you more options to get more disk space.

    You can also go to the other tab in the disk cleanup window and click on the clean button in the System Restore section.

    Do not use the compress this drive to save disk space option!

  • New MBP and two raid 0 drives 4 GB 7200 rpm or replace a small SSD

    Hello

    I apologize if this in the forum somewhere.  I'm looking for 4 hours through the posts and cannot find an answer to this question.

    I ordered a new Macbook Pro products listed below.

    MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina display

    • 2.8 GHz Quad - core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0 GHz
    • 16 GB 1600 MHz SDRAM DDR3L
    • Storage 1 TB PCIe Flash
    • Graphics card Intel Iris Pro + AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory


    In my research, it seems that the best configuration will add two additional discs.


    I want to purchase the LaCie 9000601 robust Raid Thunderbolt.  Its configured as a RAID 0 4 GB (2x2gb configured raid 0) read and write speed is rated at 240 MB/sec.  For the third disc is there going to be any speed up if I did for one SSD drive with read and write speeds above 400 MB/s?  If I won't see any significant speed I would make the 3rd disc an additional LaCie.


    So the two configurations:

    #1

    C: 1 PCIe storage to Flash

    D: drive for raid 0 4 GB lightning

    E: drive for raid 0 4 GB lightning


    #2

    C: 1 PCIe storage to Flash

    D: drive for raid 0 4 GB lightning

    E: 500 MB SSD with reading and writing of at least 400 MB/s


    I will mainly be 4K video editing from a 3 ghost drone.  Most of the videos will need only some basic edition/transitions and possibly a color correction.  I would like to modify in real time or near it and have always render as low as possible. I will be editing in Premiere Pro CS6 and could switch to CC.


    I appreciate all the comments.  If it not is not much of a difference, I would #1 configuration where it provides an extra 3.5 GB or storage and is cheaper at the same time.


    Thanks for your comments and help.


    Gary

    It seems that the ghost 3 mp4/h264 files? These files will be slightly compact vs other formats, reducing the demand placed on the disc. LaCie rugged raid should operate correctly for the media to hold, and then you can set the project on the C: drive cache. If you work on small projects, you will be able to store everything on the flash disk and the backup to an external drive. If you want to keep on an external drive media, the DSS will provide faster response times to access the various elements when editing.

  • MacBookPro successfully updated for the SSD but old disk HARD not accessible as external drive

    OK people,

    Successfully, I upgraded my MBP late 2012 to 1 TB SSD with the help of the community here. Thank you.

    My old drive was an 8.1 El Capitan\Win Bootcamp and worked pretty well without fault.

    I used the disk utility to clone the OSX partition and did a fresh install of Win10 through BootCamp.

    So far so good.

    However, my plan was gradually transfer the files from the old partition Win 8.1 in the score of Win10 that I need them.

    That is the problem. Win10 OS or my OSX recognize the old Win8.1 HARD disk partition. However, they both recognize the old OSX partition.

    The two operating systems (OSX\Win10) was format\Initialise the old HDD when connected through a USB enclosure.

    As a test, I swapped the old disk to the MBP and it started actual Win8.1 therefore the partition is accessible. Actually I'm in it starts now as I type this message.

    Watch Windows Disk Manager partition as a RAW rather than NTFS where the desire to get in shape. I am reluctant to start playing with partitioning\recovery tools because I can access the drive while having to open the MBP, but it is accessible.

    Is there a reason why the original HARD drive is not accessible as a normal external drive?

    ATM my only option I'm looking at is a copy of right of ALL files in the Windows 8.1 on another disk partition so that I can easily access the files.

    Ideas or suggestions appreciated.

    Try ejecting the disc (use disk utility), reboot and reconnect the drive.
