The hard drive is accessible to the customer on your model. The upgrade or replacement of the disc will not void the warranty. You also have access to an mSATA/WSSD slot in car. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Replace HDD SSD Touchsmart HP Envy 15-j151nr advice needed

    I will replace the 1 TB HARD disk provided with this computer using Samsung 840 256 GB HARD drive. I looked through these forums and elsewhere and am still confused with the best procedure to make sure a bootable stick with installed Windows 8.1.

    I have a scanner I'll make a copy of the recovery by using the PC software disc is supplied by HP. I also ordered disk backup of OEM windows 8.1 for the installation of the operating system if necessary.

    The SSD will have the USB adapter to prepare with the latest firmware updates and if necessary formatting before installation.

    I got the product key MS using 3rd party software from the bios if necessary

    My question is for the installation of the new SSD more is it recommended to use the HP recovery disk I have done and start on the optical drive for installation as described in the manual of HP or use Microsoft's OEM disk I will receive? I understand there are a 4 partitions on the original disc with one of them the key to unlock the product key installed in the bios. I'm willing to use a 3rd party software to copy files and partitions, but prefers not to do so.

    Any input on this is appreciated

    The HP recovery disk will not work. Only, it can be used on a disk that is at least as large as the original, which is causing many problems for people who want to install the SSD drives. The OEM disc works perfectly. If the laptop comes with Windows 8.1 then the key Code is actually printed in the BIOS and the installation disk will automatically find it. If the laptop comes with Windows 8 and you ugraded to 8.1 at any given time, it's actually a little more complex. In this case the only simple thing to do is to get a drive OEM Windows 8. The key in the BIOS Code is only for the original operating system. Yes, assuming you have the right OEM disk just boot from it and follow the prompts to install Windows 8 or 8.1. You will be pleasantly surprised, how fast it goes with an SSD. The original drive will have all drivers and apps installed at the factory, and programs in C:\swsetup folder so it is a good idea to have a way to get out of the original 1 TB drive, and you can install them on the new drive once the operating system is loaded.

  • Portege R500 - how to replace the SSD?

    5. I believe that the solid state SSD laptop drive has failed.

    I opened my laptop to check what I need to buy the brand SSD. However, is the first time that I change a SSD drive and I don't know where he is and how to replace. So, if someone can answer with the steps of how to do to replace the SSD I will appreciate it.

    Thank you
    Nils.

    Hello!

    In my opinion, it could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. I mean you have tried another drive and the computer laptop doesn t read this disc too.
    So for me it sounds like this drive is also defective.

    But as Akuma said you should also check the SATA Mode in the BIOS.

    I think the best way would be to contact you nearest ASP. They can check a defective hardware for laptop parts and Exchange. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.

  • Replace the SSD 2015 MBP retina

    Purchased the base early 2015 retina MBP (was on a real budget) and I'm looking to replace the SSD with a larger SSD.  I read on various forums that this can be done, but that nobody makes compatible SSD yet... However, these positions have been since around about a year ago.  Has this changed?  Is it possible to buy an SSD and replace my existing and if so, where?  Can't seem to find anything on ifixit.com, I saw mentioned OWC.

    Thank you!

    Now, there is no replacement for the SSD for Macbook Pro retina 13 or 15 (2015) as Apple use a non-standard interface of its SSD.

    The most economical way to clean large SSDS such as 512 GB or 1 TB on the last Macbook pro is to customize your rMBP when you bought from Apple so far.

  • printhead warranty-replaced; now can't use my cartridges

    Just got a new print head (warranty replacement) for my HP Officejet Pro 8600.

    Reinstalled my old cartridges, got an error message saying not not to use cartridges Setup (I'm still on the original cartridges, which judging by the liquid I hear still have plenty of life left).

    Tried the game cartridges that were included with the replacement printhead, but they are also installing cartridges if I get the same message.

    Obviously, the failure of the printer accepts the cartridges is related to the failure or replacement of the print head.

    "Ron" in the shipping of India tech support dept said that the only solution is for me to go buy new cartridges.

    In addition, he tried to make me believe that the original configuration cartridges supplied with the printer are not supposed to be used for a long time, but rather just to get the printer initialized - this is of course total BS.

    I'm a little annoyed that "Ron" think, because of a problem with the printhead warranty, it's OK that I'm on the cost of a new set of cartridges.

    I'm going basic here?  Seems reasonable to me to expect HP to send me cartridges that work with the new print head, so I'm done together again and I have a functional printer.

    I ask HP admins here to expand it.  I suspect that there is a sequence to reset that support should be able to provide that would put the printer in a mode where it should be as the startup cartridges.

  • Can I replace the SSD HARD drive in my sve15123cv

    Hello

    I use sve15123cv, I want to replace the SSD HARD drive. Is this possible?

    Which SSD is good?

    Hi zunnun,.

    Thank you for visiting the Sony community!

    It is possible, but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any problem. You need to consider certain things such as the specification of the HARD drive, thickness or dimension of the SSD that you plan to install first. Your Vaio SVE15123CV is a non American model. Unfortunately, we do not have full details and specifications of your machine. However, you can coordinate with the Sony support based on your location or where you bought the device.

    For further assistance about your concern, please contact the representative offices of offices/Sony Sony nearest your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific.

  • HP ENVY 15-k009ne: replacement of SSD for ENVY 15-k009ne

    Hey there everyone.

    I would like to know if it is possible to replace the hard drive installed SSD (8 GB) on my Hp envy 15-k009ne. The problem is that he is very much in quality and appear to be limited to the default files of hp. I have a few questions:

    1. is it possible to replace? If not, is it possible to replace the other hard drive (1 TB, 5400 RPM)?

    2. What size (actual size and capacity, I mean) or number/model should I buy?

    Thank you.

    PS sorry if this is a recurring question. I must be sure before that I could buy another SSD drive which is quite expensive!

    The specifications of your laptop do not indicate that you have an SSD. You may have a hybrid drive that has a cache of flash 8 GB built-in player for faster access, but this isn't a separate volume that holds its own files, just a different part of the reader. HP sold never, to my knowledge, laptops with an 8 GB SSD. You probably also a HP recovery partition on your hard drive. According to the specifications, the hard drive only your machine is a 1 to 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive standard.

    See p. 66 of the manual here:

    Manual

    Unfortunately, access to the hard drive Bay is very difficult and forbidden to an end user. In other words, it will jeopardize the warranty. If you are past the warranty and want to remedy let us know. You can replace the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and your laptop will be much faster if you do. There is also a slot of the WSSD m2 on the laptop, to complicate things more, but use it to add a SSD and boot of it is even more difficult. Have any kind of SSD in laptop computer that is not the boot drive make not much sense. However, if you want to explore the option of WSSD m2 we are here to help.

  • ADD/REPLACE SSD ON HP ENVY 15-j059nr

    Hello

    I have a HP ENVY 15-j059nr Quad Edition Notebook PC

    I want to upgrade the hard drive because I do a lot of video editing.

    with the 15-j059nr as I bought it I have a 750 GB drive at 5200 rpm and small 24 GB SSD for acceleration

    I want to replace either the 5200 disk 750 GB pm or 24 GB msata with an SSD or a msata SSD ssd

    If I remove the msata 24 GB ssd that is installed now what will happen? I understand it is used for acceleration and it also has the image of windows 8 on it for recovery purposes. Preferably, I would like to leave the 750 GB drive in place and put a 250 GB SSD msata in place of the stock 24 GB that came with my laptop.

    What do you recommend?

    Thank you

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Page 44 shows how to access the drive of the WSSD. It is not too difficult. However, replace it with a bigger WSSD and using this drive as boot drive are a bit complex. In wholesale, if a regular reader is installed the system starts the mssd. You will need to load a bootstrapper on the main drive, pointing to the WSSD drive where the operating system.

    Now the MSSD and the primary drive are set up in a sort of RAID array where the WSSD holds files frequently consulted for quick access. In fact, she does not have the recovery partition; It is on the main drive. Usually this works quite well for faster boot times and lance program and gives the "feel" of a faster system. For you, doing video editing, it is not ideal at all. You access videos from the slow drive 5400 RPM and the WSSD help at all since you only go once image files, and they are too big to pass on the WSSD. You'd still have this problem of access slow disk as long as you try to work on large video files that are found on the disk 5400 RPM for the WSSD boot drive is also not an ideal solution.

    Your best solution is a full size 2.5-inch SSD. You can remove the MSSD completely and just replace the disk of concert by the glaciers slow 5400 RPM 750 with more great one SSD as the budget allows. Post back if you need any help to find one or any other form of assistance.

  • HP ENVY 17-j101ex - replace the SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I have HP ENVY 17-j101ex, with the standard configuration: 2 x 1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM SATA. I want to buy 1 SSD drive and replace the first (boot) hard disk drive. I don't know if it works or not.

    I want to buy a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SATA III (MZ-7TE250BW), 2.5 ", dimensions: 100 x 69 x 7 mm

    I have to: 1 x 1 TB HARD drive (as a secondary drive) + 1 x 250 GB SSD SATA3 (as your startup with system disk)

    Is this ok?

    I found some info, that:

    Supports a 6.35 cm (2.5 in) 300 GB or 160 GB SSD (SSD) drive in 7, 0 - mm (. 28 - in.) thick

    Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks to 12.7 mm (. 50-in) and a height of 9.5 mm (. 37 - in)

    Is it not this Samsung SSD too big?

    I also found information on envy 17 series, which:

    Supports the following single hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations:
    ● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 12.7-mm hard drive × 1 + 300-GB solid-state drive
    

    and also:

    NOTE: Supports RAID-0 as default for all dual hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations.
    

    So, first of all should I disable RAID-0?

    Thank you for your help and sorry for my English

    In fact, I have the same model laptop PC series. You will have no problem replacing the mechanical main hard drive with an SSD. The Evo to Samsung 250 Gig is a very good choice. I suggest you get cloning software, put the SSD in the second slot, start from cloning software and copy (clone) the startup disk for the SSD. You'll slim down the contenst of the diskette of starting less than 250 concerts to achieve, but you can store files off to the second disk of 1 TB in the process. There are other ways to do this post if you have any questions.

    Here is a video showing how to install the hard drive.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wx3dMGXrGCc

    RAID-0 is supported, but you wouldn't want as a second hard drive with an SSD. If your readers are appearing as volumes of letters separated in 'the PC' or 'Computer' then RAID-0 does not exist and you shouldn't have to do any disorder in the BIOS.

  • Replacement of the SSD for HP Envy 15-J160!

    Hello! I want to change my hard drive in my HP Envy 15-J160, a new SSD. It will work with any SSD? Anything else I should be thinking? There are no guide for this on my specific model?

    Thank you in advance!

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 45. Yes, you can replace the hard drive with an SSD. Don't know what your budget may be, but here is a page showing all sizes of Samsung 850 Evo:

    You should get at least one concert 250 and preferably a 500 gig. The old disk can be copied (duplicated) in the new SSD, or you can use the HP recovery discs.

    Simply connect the SSD drive exactly like a hard drive. There is nothing you need to do for the BIOS or anything else unusual. Just plug in, install the software and go.

    The best consumer SSD there is a Samsung 850 Evo. It will have the same physical dimensions as a hard drive. 2.5 inches wide and 7 mm thick. A 7mm form factor fits anywhere the will of 9.5 mm. The connectors and mounting holes are in the same places so that they are interchangeable.

  • HP Envy 14 A9P67UA spectrum #ABA: Add (or replace) mSATA SSD to the HP Envy 14 spectrum w/windows 10... possible? Worth the risk?

    Hi all!

    So, I read in this forum on this subject and have seen mixed results.  I bought this computer a few years ago, generally pretty happy with it but I ran out of space and the battery is dying.  I am trying to decide whether to revise it or buy new.   That's what I want to do:

    Add 2nd mSATA SSD in the second slot.  I saw a post like this HD is compatible but that's a post.  Around, I've read that others have had problems by adding a second SSD.  Some people can not access, some people, it shows only a 128 GB extra, in fact, some have a BSOD.   The post I saw replaced the original disc to help one of them and adding a second drive so the two HDs were of the same brand.  Is it a better idea?  Also, all the posts I've seen on this topic were two years old and dealt with Windows 7.  Windows 10 it will make it harder to do?

    http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-850-mSATA-2-inch-MZ-M5E1T0BW/DP/B00TGIVRYU?ie=UTF8&PSC=1&redirect=true...

    If not I can try and use the same car with the model came in the second slot to help in possible compatibility issues, but I would be limited to a 128 GB extra (or possibly 256?).

    I have also upgraded the memory of 8 GB and add a new battery.

  • HP 700-330qe: how to disable or replace the SSD on HP 700-330qe

    Help for my HP 5 months! It kills Me!

    I bought a HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon and just started getting SMART of Windows hard disk errors whenever my computer restarts, telling me that the hard drive failure is imminent. He also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, save it, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never seen it in any PC I owned before. Naturally, I freaked out and did some internet research, discover that it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new hard drive Western Digital 3 TB of Amazon, a docking station for disc brand cable hard of Amazonia and downloaded the Macrium Reflect free disk management software.

    Items from Amazon arrived in a few days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, it opens and replaced the old hard disk with a new one. Start the computer to the top and got the same message on imminent hard drive failure! So I paid more attention to it this time and looked up the model number in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM - 016 G-1006. I Googled that and found it was the disk solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh.

    I stuck my old hard drive in the hard drive docking station and was ready to be cloned partition SSD and all partitions on the hard drive to the hard drive and the removal or at least unplug the SSD drive to get rid of this problem. The software told me that the SSD is shaped as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive, formatting, so you cannot copy these different types of partitions on a hard drive.

    So here's my options as I see them:

    (1) I have to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will always start the same. Windows is partially installed on SSD? I do not know.

    (2) to clone and replace the DSS about the same way I did with the main hard drive. I can get the SSD according to Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60 GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (height of 7mm) with adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A / 60G.

    For the option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM SSD of ScanDisk is currently installed in my computer! It is in the hard drive cage? I don't see anything else installed there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think that what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I don't have on CD Player installed and I can see where it is. Help!

    PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and it allows to analyze the SSD drive. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (on tens of thousands of blocks), but when he finished the analysis it says there is a lot of blocks. For this to happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than hard disks of small, to make this so much more aggravating situation. At least, I upgraded my hard drive 2 TB to 3 TB and know now that I can do. Sigh.

    Yes, I had a frusrtrating very experience with HP customer support, even after it was raised to a case manager based in the United States, who called me home. She found no part at all in its computer system and wanted to send me in my whole PC to a service center customer (it was still under warranty) which would take at least 3 weeks. I said no and went forward and the DSS out of my computer. I stopped receiveing the error messages and did not notice a slow down in performance, but went ahead and bought and installed this one, just in case it actually provides an advantage: My Digital 32 GB SSD Bullet Proof (on Amazon for $25).

    As a note to end funny to this drama, about 6 months after my discussion with HP support I describe above, I have randomly mailed an envelope of HP with the exact 16 GB SSD, they said that they didn't in their system. It also included an envelope to return my faulty SSD and a stern note saying if they do not receive the defective item within 3 days my credit card (that I never gave them) would be charged. I threw a long time ago the defective item and just throw it back into a drawer... or maybe that I returned it in the envelope for return of defective product? I don't remember really.

    In any case, it was a horrible customer service experience, and since then I have another HP Envy (my PC 3 year to my son) have a hard drive and video card fail at the same time. I replaced the two after a few problems, but no matter what I do, it can get its setup dual monitor want to work more. I tried several video cards and nothing.

    All of these factors combined caused me write off HP for the future PC purchases. The guys in my company IT say it's the reason why we only buy Dell computers at work (we have hundreds of maintain). They do not use strange pieces like these small SSD cache records, and their parts are standard and easy to replace because of the case. I'll either get a Dell or ASUS as my next PC.
