Can you use official Intel firmware on HP SSD?

Abut to pick up a used HP EliteBook 2530p.
It has an 80GB SSD:  SSDSA1MH080G2HP
HP support has a firmware dated Feb 2011, which isn't the latest Intel released firmware with the 8mb fix.
My question is, can you simply take the official/latest firmware for this X-18M drive FROM the Intel site and flash the HP SSD?
Thanks for any confirmation.

Scat, welcome to the forum.
If it were me, I wouldn't use any firmware updates but those provided by HP.  HP does on occasion make proprietary changes to their products.  If this happens to be the case, the Intel update may render your SSD useless.
Please let us know if this solves your problem or not.

    Can you use windows auto cad on a Mac?

    I've got Windows XP installed in Parallels with Acad versions 2004 and 2008. Works fine. I wonder though how large a file it will work with.  Most of my stuff is relatively small.

  • Can you use sage on a mac?

    Can you use sage accounting software on a MAC?

    You didn't indicate which iMac (processor type) you have, even though this Forum is designated for the older PowerPC processor models.  From this Q&A on the Sage web site, the only option is for Intel processor-based Macs and it requires running the Windows OS via Boot Camp.  Older PowerPC processor-based Macs cannot natively run the Windows environment, except through virtualization software - which Sage doesn't recommend because of possible corruption and/or loss of data.

    Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

    You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

  • Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion? I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard but is not compatible with Mountain Lion.

    The requirements for Lion are
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    If your Mac complies with that you can buy it by ringing the Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page.
    If it doesn' and you are stuck with 10.6.8 this page explains the situation with Snow Leopard and an existing iCloud account (you can't open one on Snow Leopard):

  • Can you use protools 8 on lion and on mountain lion

    can you use protools 8 on lion and on mountain lion

    You will need to run System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) then click Applications in the left column and check to in the Type column to see if the app is an Intel or Universal app. If it is either one then you're on the right track, if it says PPC or Power PC then the answer is a simple no.
    However to really find out you should contact the developer.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

  • Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

    Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
    I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
    Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
    And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

    If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

  • Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

    Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
    I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

    I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
    I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
    Thanks,
