Hello

I was wondering if I can switch to ssd in my computer laptop dv7 - 3188cl? If I can't do I need to get? Any help is greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance...

Sure. In fact, you can keep the original hard drive and add an SSD as your laptop can take 2 hard drives. See this video:

It's the second kit of hard disk, you will need:

  • Attach the SSD for Pavilion p6 2371ea desktop PC

    I replaced the HDD Seagate pre-installed with a Crucial SSD (Seagate be used elsewhere).

    I have attached the support provided by Crucial 2.5 SSD ", but was surprised to find there is no any size available spare disk Bay, unless I had to remove the DVD drive, I do not want to make.

    Does HP, or nobody knows, an adapter that attach the SSD to the HP chassis where was the old HDD?

    Basically HARD drive is just screwed to the Bay with no real disk mechanism metal frame at all.

    Thank you

    This is a gap in your Crucial 2.5 "to 3.5" support

    (what you have will not work without those who back of tapped holes).

    IF you are a DIY manufacturer, you could remove the SSD and drill / put on the missing holes of the support!

    Several 2.5 "to 3.5" media adapters have background discussions - for this type of vertical mounting.

    Your case used the background threads of 3.5 "hard drives - just need an adapter that reflects that.

  • How can I change the player assigned to the SSD for a SATA instead of the SCSI drive?

    Original title: SCSI instead of SATA

    I built a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  My C: drive is a Samsung 840 Pro SSD.  The system never worked properly and I discovered that the SSD which is a SATA 3 drive in Device Manager is configured as a SCSI disk.  Someone knows how to change the driver assigned to the SSD for a SATA instead of the SCSI driver?

    Hello Uriel,

    Thank you for your response.

    SATA controllers will normally appear as "SCSI" controllers in windows. It's normal and nothing to worry about. Often the SATA controllers will also be able to run in IDE mode and then they present themselves as IDE controllers, but it is unlikely that they will be able to operate optimally, as the IDE interface is missing some features of SATA. So even if you do not have the ability to set the cache in the Device Manager, a SATA controller is running in mode SATA should work just fine.

    The IDE bus is managed by the controller SATA3, and if this control is set in the BIOS to "IDE" somehow it seems related to the operating system as a SCSI device.  By setting this entry in the BIOS to "RAID/IDE" IDE devices get properly detected.

    This can also occur if you change the BIOS settings for the SATA ports of 'IDE' to 'AHCI' after installing Windows 7.

    I hope this information helps.

    Thank you

  • Add the SSD for HP Pavilion desktop computer

    Hello

    I would like to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office). I do not want to replace the existing drive, I would add a second drive.

    I have already noticed a free sata connection and a free power cable, but I didn't notice a physical position for the support and the screws etc...

    Does anyone know if there is a manual that describes the physical position for a 2nd drive in HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office)?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Upgrade SSD for Pavilion 15-n097 (F4T60EA #ABU)

    I have a newly purchased 15-n097 Pavilion and an M500 Crucial 480 GB SSD, I would like to install.

    Can someone direct me to the proper maintenance and manual advice on any bios updates that may be required please?

    I understand that the HARD drive on this machine is a bit of a pig to get to but as long as I have clone HARD drive (I have Acronis True Image) and are not reluctant to do open heart surgery on a new laptop (OB) then I'm good to go...?

    Well, here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Page 65. Get the means of hard disk, remove the top cover. Yes use Acronis and disk clone with proportional resizing with an external SATA USB adapter then swap the SSD to the original hard disk, and you'll be good to go. You must not touch the BIOS or really to make changes to the operating system. Windows 8 is quite good at recognizing the SSD and established itself in order to optimize their. Don't resist it.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    According to the specifications, you have a regular hard drive 1 TB 5400 RPM.

    See p. 38. Your laptop has been offered with drives and hybrid drives (SSHD) but you can install a 2.5-inch SATA SSD instead of hard drive. It is technically only to be done by an authorized technician, but for the more adventurous, it is not really hard to do it yourself.
