What size an ssd do I need?

I propose to use a ssd as my first drive with windows 7/8 pro, Adobe cc and MS office on a PC. I thought I'd then use disk HARD standard for the storage of files, etc.

What size SSD is necessary to be safe?

I personally thing 128 GB would be enough if you use an external drive for data. Estimate the 2 GB for each application.

However if you can afford 256Go, it doesn't hurt to 'future proof '.

  • What size an SSD and the amount of memory can add to my Pavilion x 2?

    I have a Pavilion x 2 with 4 GB of SDRAM DDR3L memory and a 64 GB SSD (mSATA).  Because the HP partition takes a bit of the SSD, I end up with only about 40 GB and 4 GB memory is barely enough (for example, to download updates to Windows, the laptop must have 3 GB free).  Thus, we can load much much about x 2 flag.  I am constantly copying data to an external drive and must carefully monitor its use to ensure that I get Windows security updates.

    My warranty is faster and although I like this laptop very well (it is well built and solid and a good size and weight), I want it to be usable in the context of Windows 10 and as a more practical machine (i.e.: not just to watch videos and play games of the app).  Then I'll add some memory and want to increase the SSD.

    I know that I can only increase the memory up to 8 GB (single location).  Which is absolute?  I can't go 16Gb?  I also know that it is possible to get a 128 GB SSD (LITEONIT) HP, but that, once - again has the HP partition on it which swallows about 20 GB or more.  Is the motherboard or BIOS limit how large an mSATA SSD drie I might add?  That would mean no partition HP and a clan 10 Windows Installer (using the license of the Pavilion x 2).  I realize that's NOT what HP wants.  But given that the guarantee will be more, I don't see what difference it makes.  It's cheaper for me to upgrade this ntebook me that in order to pay for a new laptop, which frankly, doesn't have the features that are so new as to make itworth my time to change machine.

    If anyone with technical knowledge can answer these questions for me, I would be grateful.  I want to kow how I can add a disk mSATA SSD memory and what size I will add to my Pavilion x 2?

    Thank you.

    I can see how one might think I would say that. However, change of RAM and SSD do not negate your warranty. I must however advise you (which seems you already know, but it must be said) that damage as a direct result of this is not covered by HP.

    Also, for future reference you can find all the information upgrade, especially if it uses the memory of the UMA in the service guide to laptops that can easily lie on your devices support page. The best way to find it is with a simple Google search of "Pavilion 11-h110ca x 2 Service Guide". I went ahead and find it for you: PC HP Pavilion 11 x 2 - Maintenance and Service of Guide.

    You will see also on your support page of products that it says clearly it uses the built-in memory and therefor cannot be upgraded.

    However, the DSS is a SATA m2. The service guide will be one listing of player list for readers used in this series of portable include a 64 GB and 128 GB SSD SATA m2. (Yes, it seems to be a typo in the service guide indicating 64 MB and 128 MB, I have already taken the lead and reported.) There is no 'maximum size' like any other computer. Special circumstances are that a drive over 2 TB must be initialized using the GUID partition table (GPT) partitioning schΘma. He must also use UEFI and BIOS not.

    In addition, if you intend to use the HP drive recovery media must be the same size or larger. A smaller drive won't be partitioned correctly and may fail. Considering that you are trying to upgrade it's irrelevant information, but it can be very handy in the future if replace a SSD HARD drive. If you have your own version of Windows and that you plan to do a clean install this caveat does not apply.

    I hope that answers your questions and cancels all preconceived assumptions about how HP to manage the upgrade of PC.

    Thank you!

  • What size a SSD need me for media Cache in Premiere Pro

    Hi all

    I wonder how great an ssd, I need for my cache of media in first pro. I'll just use the ssd for media cache and nothing else. What is usually a good size?

    All the best

    Interesting question.

    It depends on how many times you clean.

    If you are before an a whole project to a person of time as I am, and your projects are not two hours long feature films and you restore ove and above, then you should be OK with 256G.

    I just looked and the file cache and preview my Premiere Pro are only taking up to 50 GB for now. (Half a dozen projects worth of cache)

    My After Effects cache is only 35 GB. That said, I don't have to make my Premiere Pro projects very often because I try to stick to hardware accelerated effects.

  • can someone help me understand what size lens covers I need?

    I know that sounds stupid, but how big lense cover doI need to:

    STM 18-55mm IS Zoom and:

    EF 75-300mm lenses?  I start over.   Thanks to ANYONE who can help, thank you

    (it seems so obvious, hiding a 55 mm and 75 mm cover, however, they do not look right...)

    You probably need 58mm lens covers, the same size as the filters they use.  Look at the front of the lens.  You can usually find some identifying marking that tells you what size filter for use with lenses.  A cover page would be the same size as the lens filter.  The back cover is fairly standard across all the mount EF lenses.

  • Envy DV7: What size/form factor hard drive is in my laptop?

    Good evening.

    Well, my desire for two year, died the other day care of overheating the chronic problems that seem struck Envys at this time. My block of cooling died beforehand, that was probably the cause of the rise in temperature. Yep, that burning smell of rubber from the exhaust vents was kind of present that something was wrong, as well as the characters of ding strange wing that the display has been put in place and the intense heat of the keyboard who suddenly developed. Unfortunately, it was out of warranty. I really liked this PC, too.

    In any case, I would remove the hard disk that is inside to retrieve the data using an external hard drive enclosure but I need to know what size or form factor of the hard drive is to buy the appropriate forum. I guess it's a 2.5-inch form factor. Is this correct?

    Thank you very much

    Yes, it is 2.5 inches. You can just buy SATA TO USB adapter:

  • What size of HARD drive is compatible with my Satellite A100-771

    Hey guys,.

    is there a size limit of HDD for my A100-771?
    And what type of HARD drive I need? IDE or SATA?

    Thank you very much.
    Eathen.

    Hi dude

    From my experience, the Satellite A100 series was equipped with SATA drives.

    There should be a SATA HDD controller and you can use SATA 2.5 hard drives.

    I think that there isn t disc HARD size limit since the SATA controller is not limited to all special HARD drive sizes

    I think that most SATA HDD must be compatible

  • Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

    Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
    I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

    So what size I can up to?
    I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
    I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

    I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
    a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

    Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi mate

    First he must know that this question have been posted a lot of time in the forum.
    If you want to use the search option, then you will find this thread for example:

    Is the M40X series supports the IDE controller and I think that you need a 2.5 IDE HDD.
    The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
    However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

    You will probably need a car big enough to fit this size for the recovery disc.

  • Pagefile on 2 discs - what size on each disc?

    Hello

    I have four cache 11/SATA disks 7200 tr/min/64 MB in my XP Pro 32 bit system and intend to put the pagefile at the beginning of both of them. What size the two must - there are 4 GB of DDR3 RAM installed?

    Kind regards

    you only need a swap file, that is, the virtual memory of the system.

    Since you have multiple hard disks, you can place it on one disk other than the system partition.

    regarding its size, you have lots of RAM installed.   Therefore, it is unlikely that your swap file will be widely used.

    my suggestion is to make a custom 2 (min) and 1152 (max) size.   If in the future, you get a memory low message, then increase the max of an increment of 500 MB.

    also, look at the recommended sizes your windows posted at the bottom half of the virtual memory Control Panel.  Make sure not to exceed the maximum size.

    Finally, if you plan to use a graphic software that will create a "scratch disk", then don't forget to configure the drives to work to use one drive other than that is where the system files and swap file are found on.

    thx for any help...

    Hello

    As far as I know that your unit has standard 2.5 "hard drive. Unfortunately there is no public record of such information. Accurate information, you can get that from accredited service partner or even some HARD drive supplier.
    In my opinion, your device must be able to manage with maximum up to 8 or 10 GB HARD drive. For me, we know that some offering it can manipulate the BIOS with special tools and after that BIOS recognize a much larger capacity HARD drive.

    Try to pick up some information on the net service partner or call your country. I believe that consultation service is free.
