Can I replace DVD with SSD drive on Satellite P?

Hi everyone !
I would like to know if I can replace DVD by caddy's SSD ?
If I do it about that, Do I loose my warranty ?
Thanks.

I dont know what notebook model you have but in most cases such replacement (ODD ? SSD) would work in case the notebook would support the slim-select bay.
This was the case in older Tecra and Portege notebooks
I guess Satellite notebooks dont support such upgrade but this is just an assumption..
Warranty?
Well, if you would disasemble the notebook, the warranty will be canceled

  • I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life.  I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata.  Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

    I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life.  I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata.  Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

    I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's.  By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already.  Go to the Floodgap website (they author it)  download it for free.  The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported.  It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test.  That's now my default on my G5's.  Firefox and Safari are no longer supported.  As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me.  The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie.  The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to.  They 'dumbed it down' for the masses.  Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion.  So Leopard should be fine for you.  It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine.  As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site.  As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps.  See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM).  You might find you don't need eight.  A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will.  I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC.  Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro.  The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it.  You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available.  As far as backup on your resurrected machine:  look for a firewire enabled backup if can.  Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup.  Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes.  You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all.  The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00.  It runs nice and fast through the 800 port.  I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures.  They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

  • T530 Replacing DVD with HDD drive

    Hello, Lenovo community!
    I decided to upgrade my new T530 with SSD OCZ Vertex4 drive.
    Put it instead of preinstalled 1TB WD hdd drive. Remove DVD and put 1TB WD via ESPADA SS12: http://www.nix.ru/autocatalog/notebook_accessory/Espada_SS12_SATA_HDD_SATA_118550.html
    Laptop can`t see 1TB WD: in bios and in windows too. BIOS revision 2.53, latest
    Hard-drive and Hdd-bay 100% working (checked it by connecting these stuff to desktop computer)
    I am completly confused by this situation. Please advice!
    Sorry for my English, this language is not my native one.

    Installing hdd in original Lenovo bay (tenfold difference in price - in Russia) solved this problem. I think that lenovo specifically use non standard pins for powering hdd. They don't want to lose money on accessories... pretty lame. Anyway, everything in this case works fine now.

  • My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no error

    My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no errors.
    I tried to reinstall driver.
    I downloaded new codec
    I tried Microsoft FIX IT
     Nothing worked.
    Need some help.
    Thank you!!

    Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
    Hope this helps you.

  • Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100?

    Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100 ?
    The Hard disc in this model is same size as SSD 2.5" drive?

    Hi
    As mentioned above: the SATA controller is supported so you will need to use a SATA SSD drive usually it should not be a big problem to upgrade the notebook with an SSD drive in some cases it could be possible that the SSD firmware needs to be updated but this depends on the SSD drive manufacturer
    However, the SSD drive is much faster than a common HDD. Therefore you should notice a faster performance

  • Should i use "HDD protection utility" in connection with SSD drive?

    I've replaced HDD with SSD and reinstalled my Windows. Accidentally I've installed "HDD protection utility"? Is it absolutely useless in system with SSD? Should I uninstall this utility?
    Thank you.

    Since one month I use SSD with my Satellite Notebook. I have installed original recovery image that includes HDD protection utility. I can start it but it is inactive.
    Strange thing is that with HDD it was inactive too. To be honest I dont care about that. It is preinstalled but I have disabled it from automatic start-up.
    In my opinion you can remove it from the system.

  • How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

    How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

    Move your iPhoto Library and/or your iTunes library to and external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run them from there. Be sure to try the libraries on the EHD before you delete them from the boot drive.
    This should easily free up the 25 GB minimum needed for iDVD to create and burn video DVD efficiently.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

    I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

    A few places online may still offer the i7 2.3GHz quad-core Late 2012 MINI (Oct 2012 to Oct 2014)
    that allows the user-upgrade of RAM to 16GB, and this one I've seen is a Server model and has
    two 1-TB Hard Disk Drives. The B&H store in NY online has this listed, if in stock now, price &
    shipping in continental US is good until tomorrow.
    Your i5 dual-core is still desirable to many, & you may be able to resell it if not needed.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can we replace OracleSytemUser with a custom user in ldap?

    HI,
    We have installed soa 11g and configured Microsoft AD as ldap provider.
    I have couple of questions around this.
    1. Can we remove the default embedded authenticator totally? If yes what are the things we should keep in mind?
    2. We don't want hard coded users like "OracleSystemUser". Can we replace OracleSystemUser with our custom user, maybe assinging our user to OracleSystemGroup in our ldap.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Manish

    There are Office-type apps available for iPad.
    Skype is also available for iPad.
    Whether you, specifically, can completely replace a laptop with an iPad depends on what you use your laptop for. The iPad is not designed to completely replace a laptop. There are many things a laptop can do that an iPad cannot. Whether those limitations are an issue for you, depends on your laptop usage.

    Did you try to search for some online dealers who provide such part?
    Additionally you could contact an Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to order such part.

  • Can I replace CUA with CUP. If not why or what will be the risks

    Hi,
    The client does not want to have two provisioning systems CUP & CUA. The sole purpose they are using CUA is the proper accounting for SAP licenses such that the user ID remains the same across the landscape. No other purpose of using CUA. In this case can I replace CUA with CUP 5.3 SP12.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sanjeev

    There are limitations to doing that.
    CUA has a technology focus and does not take access risk into consideration at all. The long-term successor of this would be Netweaver Identity Management. If you want to consistently manage user master data and license information, that's probably the solution to look at.
    You can perfectly use CUP on top of that to manage authorizations. You can also force CUP to only allow user IDs from a central system like CUA or ActiveDirectory in order to enforce user ID consistency.
    What CUP will not do is give you an overview of where a user is maintained with which kind of information/license data. That is something that either CUA (for ABAP only) or Netweaver Identity Management will give you.

  • MDT and computer with SSD drives causes warnings

    Has anyone noticed that computers with SSD drives are causing task sequence errors with MDT. I think that some machines boot too fast and the network is not ready yet. Deployments dont fail, but they end with error message.

    With all due respect, I would not blame the SSD drives, as much as I would question your network.
    Is your DHCP server just slow and/or overwhelmed? What about PortFast?
    Get your network guys to document the latency of DHCP request for your location. If necessary, have them do a trace.
