How to Configure RAID on my Solid State Hybrid Drive

Hi
i have an HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1024tx. And was wondering how to configure RAID and use the SSD on my Hybrid Hard drive as chaching. Currently im using the SSD as normal storage space.

What model hard drive do you have? One of those that are actually two drives like the WD Dual:

Or a regular hybrid drive where only one hard drive appears to My Computer?

Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014

Hello again, is the Macbook Pro 13-inch early 2011 compatiable with the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014 and if so, how much faster would it be than a regular HDD?

If it's no higher than 12.5 mm, then it should work (and fit) in your model.
It will work fine where the optical drive is should you decide to replace the HDD with an SSD and put the hybrid in the space occupied by the optical drive. The optical drive provides 6.0 Gb/s support.

Solid State hybrid drive

Hello i have the hp pavilion g6-1do8dx with a intel core i5 2430m processor and i was wondering if i could get this solid state hybrid drive, link below!

Hi,
Yes you can. It's a good choice when we can't pay for a big SSD. Still slower than SSD but better the normal HDD.
Have fun and good luck.

Solid State Hybrid Drive upgrade?

I need more storage on my internal drive (original 500 GB, 5400 RPM, HDD) and I would like to speed up R/W performance as well. Based on what I have researched, I am considering the Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB (7500 RPM) SSHD to upgrade my MBP from OWC, but I am not committed to it. I am open to 1 TB capacity SSHD as well. Which is the most reputable/best performing SSHD currently on the market at these capacities? What do you recommend?
Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
This is what I am currently considering:

Don't buy the Hybrid drive, those guys don't know what they are doing.
Build yourself a Fusion drive.
Available in Mac OS X 10.8.3 and later, all software, created with a little fiddling with Terminal.
It is a combination of a small fast SSD and a BIG slow Rotating Drive. It becomes a moderately fast BIG combination drive.You CAN set one up "by hand" if you are adventurous and do not have a panic attack when faced with Terminal.

Solid State Drive or Solid State Hybrid Drive?

I have a Mac Mini late 2012, with 1TB running Yosemite and 16GB of ram and I'm thinking of getting either a SSD or SSHD. Looking for some opinions about either one. The research I've done so far doesn't seem to find much of a difference in terms of speed between the two. Of course the price is a big factor and I also write and record a lot of music so that would be a factor too.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

The Hybrid drive is much faster than a standard hard rive
That will depend on the definiton of "standard." If standard is the typical 5400 rpm drive that ships with a MacMini, Yes. If it's a 5400 rpm Fusion drive setup, then, No.
I replaced a 7200RPM Seagate Momentus (7200.4 version) drive with a 7200RPM Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid, the drives are mechanically identical other than the 8GB of SSD fitted to the XT. and it is a lot faster than the non hybrid version. I have not had the time to test against a fusion drive but would expect that with 128GB of SSD rather than 8GB the fusion drive would be faster.

Solid State Hybrid Drive in 15" MBP?

I'm considering a 15" MBP...I was looking at the 500GB SSD option from the Apple Store, but $1300 is a bit too much. I was browsing around on OWC, looking for a cheaper deal, when I came across the Seagate Momentus XT, which is apparently a hybrid SSD/HDD. Has anyone had any experience with this device?
In general are SSDs worth the extra money over a 7200 RPM HDD in an MBP (taking into account battery life, seek times, spin-up or equivalent times, overall performance, etc)?
Edit: I do intend to get a system with a low-end HDD, and swap it out for the Seagate...or have it done by OWC or something. Then again, I don't use optical media much, at all, so maybe I'll use that drive...is the SuperDrive in the MBPs an ATA or SATA drive?

Hi musicwind95,
I've been using the the smallest one since they were available - 250GB @ 7200 RPM. They all have a 4GB SSD component so I figured I'd get the cheapest one, for fear that the drive concept was junk. The 500GB model is actually $20 less at NewEgg (by the way).
Was there any difficulty in installing the drive?
It's a nice drive, the 4GB and "active" memory controller it uses to manage the SSD works pretty well. I've definitely notice some improvements in application loading. But I must say that the seek times have been pretty negligible, especially because I routinely work with larger files that vary every day. I suppose if I worked with the same set of files on a daily basis and they were all pretty tiny (less than a couple of MBs), I'd probably notice a difference.
What's the effect on boot time? My main speed concerns are boot time and app loading times...I've never really complained about opening documents, and for the most part the documents that programs work with behind the scenes (plists, config files, etc.) are pretty small anyway.
The optical drives in the newer machines are SATA. I believe the Late 2008 17" MacBook Pro was the last to use Ultra ATA/100 for the optical drive.
Thanks. Any info on the effect on battery life with two hard drives inside?

INSTALLING SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE ON EXISTING MAC

How difficult is it to install solid state hard drive on an existing mac, you can buy the solid state hard drive from crucisl and someon will put it in, anyone ever done this?

Yes I have. It is very easy to do yourself. If you can turn a screw driver and unplug then replug one cable you can do it yourself.
The hardest part is having a current backup or clone of your original drive, that is if you don't want to do a clean install of OS X and programs, and then restoring either to the SSD. Although that is fairly easy also.

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I just put a solid state hard drive in my mac book pro and used super duper to copy the hard drive and move the data over to thew new ssd, but most of my music isn't in iTunes when I turned it on? How do I get my music to show up in my new drive?

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

I want to change screenshot location from my Solid State hard drive with OSX on it, to my 2nd storage hard drive, how do I do this?

I want to change screenshot location from my Solid State hard drive with OSX on it, to my 2nd storage hard drive, how do I do this?
I am aware of "defaults write com.apple.screencapture *location*" but I want to change the location to my 2nd drive which doesn't have OSX on it... everytime I've tried to insert MacintoshHD2 in there it just doesn't work... any tips?

I'm having the same problem. I've entered the following path in terminal:
"defaults write.com.apple.screencapture location /Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/[my username]/Downloads"
But it's not working. It keeps going to the SSD Downloads folder.
What am I doing wrong?

Solid state hybrid

Hi all.
I am configuring an Alienware M18x laptop (http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dkcwkr1&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&model_ id=alienware-m18x), noting that Alienware recommends a 3Gb SSD while alternatively offering a disk that's 1TB Raid 0 (2x500) 7200 RPM Solid State Hybrid.
So, my question - does anyone know anything about Solid State Hybrid hard drives for editing video? as opposed to either Solid State or just a large (raid-ed or not-raided) 750 Gb 7200RPM drive?
And, considering that the question is NOT - which is better, laptop or desktop, for ediiting video, because it is clear from many of the discussions that desktops are better, what is it like editing on an Alienware laptop? Any suggestions welcomed.
best.

dont waste your money on either of the 2 options.
raiding the OS is not wise unless you have imaging software and intend to use it daily or weekly.
a standard 750G as the OS is fine and a 2nd 750 for your everything else drive.
an idea of what a newer sandy bridge laptop can do.

Solid State Hard Drive Replacement For HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j053cl?

Hello there,
I want to swap out my current 1TB harddrive from my year-and-a-half old HP ENVY with a 500 GB solid state harddrive that I just purchased from Amazon.
Two questions:
1) Is this solid state harddrive compatiable with my computer (specs below)?
2) I want to reinstall windows onto the solid state harddrive after I install it (assuming its compatable). How can I go about putting Windows 8 on a bootable usb drive to do this? The computer does not have an optical drive and I don't have an external optical drive, so installing Windows via bootable usb is my only option.
I'm aware I can "clone" my PC onto the external harddrive if I wish, but I'd rather do a clean install if I can.
Computer Specs:
HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j053cl
Product: E0K05UA#ABA
Solid State Hard Drive Specs:
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OBRE5UE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Please let me know any advice you may have. Also, please feel free to ask any questions - hopefully I provided enough details.

Windows 8.1 has a built-in tool to make a recovery usb drive:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive
The HP Backup and Recovery app can also do it. This is a factory clean install image and any data and programs you have added will be lost. If you have an external hard drive you can also do a backup with Windows File History. Then, add the backed up files to the factory install. You can also use File History to make a system image type backup and restore it to the new drive using a repair disk but this is virtually the same as a clone, which you said you do not want.

The Evo 850 is the best SSD on the market in my humble opinion and will work just fine for you.

2011 MACBOOK PRO WITH SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE.

Hello everyone. I would like to know is it worth going with the 512 solid state hard drive or the 750 at 5400 rpm or 500 at 7200 rpm. My use is for Audio programs such as Serato, Logic and Protools. I would like to know if anyone has the solid state and how you like speed of the computer. Basically is it worth the 1100.00 extra.

No one probably wants to touch this because it really is about how high end a user you can afford to be. I suspect your audio programs will work fine with a 7200 rpm hard drive, depending perhaps on file sizes. I did buy a 512gb ssd and put it in my 2010 mbp. It has read and write speeds comparable to what Mac promises with the in-house drives (maybe a little faster). If you can afford an ssd you would never go back to a hard-drive. It removes a performance bottleneck that will always be there to some degree with a regular hard-drive. 512gb ssd's are a luxury at this point. Your call.

Mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

There wouldn't be enough room in the Mac Mini enclosure for 2 Fusion Drives since they are really just a SSD and a Platter HD working in conjunction. Could really be smoking in a 4 Drive RAID box though. I am speculating here but there is only 1 additional partition allowed in the Fusion Drive. My thought is that the current Management Software would get thoroughly confused with multiple partitions probably due to mount points not being able to register in a normal manner. IMHO the Fusion Drive is another crutch for the normal/average user that doesn't want to be bothered with file management protocols.

Putting in new solid state hard drive

I'm trying to instal a new solid state hard drive into my Pavilion p-6. I ordered the re-installation disks from HP. The new solid state hard drive is smaller than the original drive. When I put in disk#1 the disk promt tells me the new hard drive is smaller than the original and it will not continue the process. HOW CAN I OVER RIDE THIS? And make this work?

Hi,
The information that I had last received from HP internal indicates that a 160 GB SSD would be the minimum size required before the HP external recovery media will work.
