Can I install an SSD into my MSI GE620DX laptop?

Can I install an SSD into my MSI GE620DX laptop?
Couldnt find any information on the site or the manual about that, Im thinking of ordering an SSD but I dunno if I can put whatever type of SSD in there.
The 128gb SSDs in sweden are just in my price-range right now and it would be reeeally nice to check out how fast this thing can run... :D.
My laptop is the i5-2410m-version.
Reason I wanna upgrade to SSD is obviously because of improved performance but also that I can probably turn the current built-in HDD into an external device maybe? I am setting up my laptop for music production and I just want a fast SSD for windows,software. Other HDDs for recording audio, having projects on them and so forth.
The HDD in mine is the 500gb/7200RPM one, I hope I can turn it into an external somehow(read that you can somewhere and I assume most drives can be turned into external HDDs???)

Shouldn't be any problem. You can replace the 2.5" HDD of your notebook with any 2.5" SSD. Be aware that you need to reinstall Windows unless you have a software to clone the current on the SSD.
With an external USB hdd case you can use the HDD as an external drive. However if you erase the current partitions you will loose the possibility of using the F3 recovery with the HDD reinstalled if the Windows on the SSD gets destroyed by a virus or similar problems.

1. can i install a SSD? 2. can i upgrade (install new) usb 3 hardware to replace current USB2.0?

Currently running macbook pro 2.4Ghz intel core i7 15'' Late 2011. Wanted to know if and how so (if so), 1. can i install a SSD? 2. can i upgrade (install new) usb 3 hardware to replace current USB2.0?

To installing a SSD, yes, it is possible. See this link to read more.
There are also quite a few YouTube videos on the process.
To the second, no, it's not possible to replace USB 2 with 3 without replacing the system.

Can I install a SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

I just purchased a customized HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 configuration (3 x 2 TB), but I noticed and researched that it seems that is better to have a SSD installed to have your computer access data faster, of course, I want to use it for the OS installed on it. So I have two questions?
1.) Can I change the configuration so I can add an SSD on a optical drive? (This will be the 4th drive). Since I am already using 3 HDD on a Raid 5 configuration and there wouldn't be any more space left, I am assuming that I can only use an empty optical drive space and install an SSD?
2.) Is there a limitation of how many drives and capacity HDD can be installed on the motherboard?
My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HDD and install a 4th drive (SSD) on the optical drive and use it for the OS (Windows 8.1).
Any suggestions and/or recommendations is highly appreciated it.
Thank you.

Hi,
Your PC is already using a Windows 8 boot loader and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode then you will add another Windows 8 boot loader to the eligible boot device menu. This will lead to confusion. I would suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media
Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
Disable secure boot in the BIOS and switch to legacy mode
Boot into the Intel OPROM and rebuild the RAID 5 array
Boot back into the BIOS and enable UEFI mode
Boot the external HP recover media and load the SSD (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or larger)
Once you are up and running then go into Disk Management and format the RAID array as GPT
The above procedure may or may not work but it's what I would first try.

HP dv6-6117dx, can I install an SSD in this? SATA 2-3.0 or SATA 3-6.0?

Hi all, I read the manual for the dv6-6117dx laptop, and it stated only Intel based versions of this laptop were able to use SATA based SSD drives, but I think it was referring to SATA 6. Can I install a SATA 3.0 SSD in this laptop as I have a SATA 3.0 SSD 64GB in my desktop that I thought maybe I'd move over to the laptop, but not sure if this is doable due to the manuals reference to Intel only? I would think that an SSD at SATA 2.0 standards would work, but Thanks for any replies.
AMD 3500M, 500GB SATA drive, 4GB ram, etc.

Hi Pepe, a lot of confusion going on with the new sata designations. I think for everyone's information, I'll try to set the record straight as far as what I have read on the subject, and what the SATA committee, commission, or what-have-you, stated they would like people to refer to SATA standards as. Not sure these are set in stone, but I think they are. Please correct me if I am mistaken. I won't go into anything below sata 2.0 as I either didn't read that part or don't remember. lol
     SATA II or 2.0 refers to SATA 3Gbps not SATA 3.0 - Sata III or 3 does refer to SATA 3.0 which is the current top standard at 6Gbps, hence SATA 6. This is the way it was, but I think now, they have simplified it to either SATA 3 or SATA 6 so there is no confusion, 3 is 3Gbps - 6 is 6Gbps. This is what I read they would like drive makers to label their drives as, and skip the 2.0, and 3.0 monikers. There is also going to be, soon, if not already, SATA Express which will boost performance to 6Gbps, 8Gbps, or 16Gbps using the pci express slot. SSD manufacturers are making them faster, and faster which is good for us as prices on lesser drives will drop, hopefully, and we can use the express slot included in just about all computers, and not have to purchase a SATA 6 controller card.
     And thanks Pepe for reminding me I already knew the answer. The SATA standards are compatible across all speeds, and connections so an SSD should be no problem, but at SATA 3 or less speed, depending on what's in this laptop. I do know it has a SATA HD, and SATA DVD, but don't get why HP would not implement the 6Gbps standard which you, and the AMD specs say, is embedded in the chipset? I'm hoping maybe it's a bios thing or some other update that will fix it because if my current drives are running off an AMD chipset, and the computer has a SATA HD & DVD, then it stands to reason the hardware is there as SATA standards for the 3500m CPU chipset include it. Unless there is a different AMD chipset in here? Hmm, very thought provoking. Maybe I'll call tech support, and try to get an answer because it doesn't make sense at all.
     Anyhoo Pepe, thanks for taking the time to respond to this. Just trying to think why there would be no SSD drive availability on this particular laptop as opposed to one that is exactly the same except has an Intel chipset? I'm wondering whether HP cut some corners here as AMD's chipset, specification-wise, is superior to Intel's at this point in the game. Thanks again, and please, anybody, if you know the answers to these questions, assumptions, please cough up some info so I don't have to call Tech, and beg for tier 2-3 support. lol
P.S.. I love this laptop, and doubt any answer is going to make me return it, but I am curious as to why no SATA 6, and maybe not even SATA 3 when the chipset supposedly supports it, and there are 2 SATA drives already integral to the laptop. I am assuming on a laptop, the CPU's corresponding chipset would have to be installed. Given this has SATA drives in it, and a chipset supporting SATA connections, SATA 2.0 should work.
=====================================================================================
Also, found this on Wikipedia
SATA Terminology
The name SATA II has become synonymous with the 3 Gbit/s standard. In order to provide the industry with consistent terminology, the SATA-IO has compiled a set of marketing guidelines for the third revision of the specification.
The SATA 6 Gbit/s specification should be called Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.0.
The technology itself is to be referred to as SATA 6 Gb/s.
A product using this standard should be called the SATA 6 Gb/s [product name].
Using the terms SATA III or SATA 3.0 to refer to a SATA 6 Gbit/s product is unclear and not preferred. SATA-IO has provided a guideline to foster consistent marketing terminology across the industry.
What I origianlly read was the designations SATA 3 Standing For SATA II, 2.0 & 3Gbps, and Sata 6 referencing Sata III, 3.0 & 6.0Gbps, so Sata 3 & Sata 6 sound great, no confusion, no need for Gbps or Gb/s as seen above, SATA 3 & 6, and soon to be SATA Express 8 Gb/s & 16 Gb/s All Sata designations should be geared to actual throughput of the specification to simplify the juggernaut of unneeded information, and resulting complictaions. They should all be simplified as SATA 3, SATA 6, SATA E8, and SATA E16. Why complicate matters with revisions, etc, we all know what they mean when stated as I have layed out, at least IMO! lol Take care all This is off topic, but hope it helps some users understand SATA terminology, and sorry Pepe for misleading you, and otherswith incorrect information provided in the topic of this thread.
Forgot, this has USB 3.0 ports so I know it has the coresponding chipset for the AMD A8 3500M CPU which supports SATA 6. HP, please answer why this laptop will not allow install of an SSD rated at SATA 6, and possibly not an SSD rated at SATA 3?

Can I install a SSD in a Mac Pro 1,1?

Is it possible to install a SSD in a Mac Pro 1,1 2 x 3GHz Dual core?
On reading this:
http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-InstallingSSD.html#Installing_MacPro
it seems it is, but when I contacted Crucial memory they didn't seem to think it was.
I was hoping to install in my second optical drive.
Have you tried it?
Any advice gratefully received.
May thanks

The bays in the Mac Pro 1,1 [and 2,1 and 3,1] are directly wired for ATA/IDE Optical drives.
But there are two connectors nearby on the motherboard labeled "ODD" (for Optical Disk Drive) SATA connectors (no power).
This kit:
Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable Adapter for Mac Pro - Add 2 eSATA ports!
provides the required data cables (slightly different from each other at the motherboard end). Then you need only adapt the existing 4-pin Molex power to your SSD and you are in business.
A 30GB SSD is very tight for Mac OS X alone (no User files) 60GB is okay, 120GB is fine, as long as you are not attempting to use Windows on the same drive and have your User files on another drive.

Can I install a SSD in my mid 2010 iMac

Wondering if this can be done
Also I have 4 ram slots with 2gb in two of them can I install two sticks of 4gb in the empty ones without impacting performance

Yes.

Also I have 4 ram slots with 2gb in two of them can I install two sticks of 4gb in the empty ones without impacting performance
Yes. Recommended in pairs. So 2x2GB + 2x4GB SO DIMMS for a total of 12 would be fine.

Can you install a second mSATA SSD in Yoga 13?

Hey all,
I just got my Yoga 13 a few days back. It seems they have updated from the 2013 version and in this you can access the internals by simply unscrewing the back cover. Here is my question, my original configuration is with a 256gb SSD. I was wondering if it will be possible to add an extra ssd in my Yoga 13. I am a newbie in all this, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Jay

I followed this video and it worked OK for me. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At-Br20OAvg>
Not sure if this was the same size SSD.
Google around; there have been others published on this topic. Be careful prying the machine open and also with the cable. I had to repeat the process because the cable pulled loose. Also, if your keybooard is mushy pay careful attention to getting all the tabs and screws back in place. Everything else worked out well. Good luck.

Can I install a SSD in a ENVY 14t-1100

Can i install a SSD in my Macbook Late 2009

I have a late 2009 macbook, MC207LL/A, and I am considering putting a SSD in place to replace the HDD that is in it now.
Is there anything i need to look out for, such as size of the SSD or specs?
thanks

So i installed one, went with a Kingston SSDNow 200 V+, only 120GB but i got it for 69.99.
Could not beat that. I did a fresh install of snow leopard and boot time now is under 20 seconds.
What an improvement. Now I will be on the lookout for a second SSD but bigger capacity for media storage to
replace the optical.
This will add some more years to this Macbook.
PS. There is deffinetly an improvement of the battery. About an hour or so better.

No bluetooth in my G500 and is it possible to install a SSD in place of existing HDD?

Started a new Thread as per your suggestions
This laptop is bought on Thanks giving day from best buy and I'm not sure if there is bluetooth, from beginning, I'm using Wifi. As per the website and maintenance manual there exists a bluetooth. This is no good for a brand new laptop. My friends already cautioned me from buying items listed in thanks giving sale as they are either faulty or rejected items. But this laptop is not listed in the sale and hence I bought it. But I'm not happy, as the lenovo website lists bluetooth but I'm not sure if the laptop has bluetooth. The customer support too insists me to send laptop to lenovo for a refit or replacement. But I'm not interested as I need to move on and I can't wait till I get a replacement.
Now I will try based on your suggestions!
1) I will check in Drivers folder for anything that says bluetooth - NO. But the maintenance manual says bluetooth is integrated with Wif-fi. Today I'm trying with Ethernet card.
2) I will make sure I will download the drivers for bluetooth and model from below link
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS035531
I will Hook up my ethernet cable. Now should I directly start installing the drivers to detect bluetooth or should I reboot my laptop
3) Can I install a SSD in addition to my existing HDD (somewhere in web it says to enable TRIM functionality too)?
or is it possible to install a SSD by removing the existing HDD?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi beswaminathan,
Usually, if a machine comes with a bluetooth device, you can check it under Device Manager > Bluetooth (a generic Windows driver will used if there's no OEM driver installed- see image below).
Looking at the spare parts, the one below is the Wi-Fi card that has a built-in bluetooth for this model. If you have a different Wi-Fi adapter, it's possible that it's Wi-Fi only. Try to search the specs in google and observe.
WLAN LITEON WB225 1X1 BGN+BT4.0 HMC
For the SSD, there appears to be no slot for an mSATA or M.2 (NGFF) SSD at the back side. You will need to remove the stock 2.5" HDD and replace it with a 2.5" SSD.
Link to picture
For TRIM to be enabled on an SSD, you will need to re-install Windows in AHCI mode and follow these tips and tricks..

Can I install a mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17t-k000 CTO Notebook PC? Added a 250 gb SATA sdd and 8 gb memory chip today but could not find any way to also add a 250 gb mSATA sdd. I looked on the front and back side of the system board.

View Solution.

The Service Manual is no help whatsoever. It says an M.2 mSSD is supported on "select models" but there is no picture of it in the Manual or indication where it is on the "Select Models". Those that do have it use an M.2 version (three connector prongs not 2) so your 840 Evo would not work even if you had one of the "Select Models". I believe on those that have it the M.2 port is right on the motherboard so if you do not see it there you are not among the select.
