Hp dv7 6001 Sata support?

Hi,
I have hp dv7 6001st(or 6000st) laptop. I have 2 drives. I would like to upgrade my primary drive to ssd but don't know which ssd to buy.
I also don't know if my laptop supports sata 3 or 2 ssd speeds. So, I called HP today and asked some questions and this was one of them. They said me to look my laptop's manual but I couldn't see anything like that and there is no information on internet. Could you please tell me if my laptop supports SATA 3 or SATA 2 ssd's ?

Generally if SATA disk is listed in the Service manual or the specification then SATA 300 is a safe choice for best compatibility. I asked that question of my HP contacts a short while ago and that was the response that I was gven.
Your notebook's specs dv7.
I suggest purchasin an SSD that comes with the hardware and software tyo make the migration simple. I chose a Crucial Force series upgrade kit for my latest primary hard disk conversion to SSD .
Best regards,
erico

External SATA support?

I know some PC motherboards include extra SATA connectors on them that aren't always pre-connected for you. Does the Mac Pro have any extra SATA connectors on its motherboard?
I just saw this deal at Shop4Tech (http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=5849&siteID=Es5Ekr9eEBk-Gqhcdo kOkqNlKYq4SwHL1w) which is only $24 for an external SATA enclosure. But I'm wondering if there's any way I'd be able to connect it to my upcoming Mac Pro.

There is external SATA support for the Mac Pro using PCIe host adapters. I tried cabling the two SATA ports on the board to the rear of the Mac Pro but they do not support hot swap - so you have to restart each time you change hard drives on them. Not an ideal solution.
I found a better options.
1. Get a 2-port WiebeTech Tera Card TCES0-2e for $99.99
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/tces0/
2. Get a FirmTek SeriTek/2SE2-E and use the FirmTek 2SM2-E driver with it until the new Mac Pro EFI firmware comes out that will allow this card to be bootable.
3. Call Addonics at 408-433-3898 and ask them to sell you a ADSA3GPX1-2E
flashed with the BASE BIOS b7.3.13 for $39.99 for the Mac Pro. Tell them AMUG sent you. Then use the SiI-3132 Mac driver version 1.1.6 found here:
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=32&cid=3&ctid= 2&osid=3&
I have three of the Addonics cards in a Mac Pro which provides 6 external hot swap SATA ports. You can use them for RAID or individual hard drives. So when someone tells you that no external SATA ports are available for the Mac Pro they just don't know
Have fun!

Help needed - boot disk - SATA support?

I've been trying to flash my bios with the latest patch for the 865PE Neo2 FISR
However when i boot from the floppy into dos i don't have access to my hard drive to run the flash program. I'm assuming that this is due to the fact that i'm running 2 SATA HDD's in RAID 0 format. If this is correct are there specific boot disk images that have support for RAID?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

With NTFS file system, you need to make a Win98 boot disk. Go to
http://www.bootdisk.com/
and get a Win98 or WinME OEM boot disk.
Copy your flash program and bios image to a second disk.
Boot from the Win98 floppy. This will create a ram drive c:
Change to that drive by typing
C:
Then put in your bios floppy and copy all the files to the c drive:
copy a:*.*
Then flash

I doubt that this will work, but try ir5 and go to forge.novell.com
zfdimgdrv to see if you can get support there..
otherwise you would need to get a hacked version of the zdm 7 stuff or even
higher..
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on

SATA-supported by ICH10R vs. SATA-supported by JMicron 363

As the title suggests...is there one that should be used over another?
I do not plan on using a raid array.
Does it matter which ports I use for the HDD or an optical drive?

The primary Intel ICH10R Controller can support a maximum of 6 SATA-Ports/drives and does not support old-school IDE-Ports/drives anymore. In order to have additional SATA ports (more than 6) and an IDE Interface, there has to be a different/additional chipset that controls them. And voila, there you have a reason why there is an additional controller which controls additional ports. The point is not to provide you with a choice but to provide you with more connectors in case 6 SATA ports are not enough and a legacy IDE Port is needed. The fact that you have a choice is more of a side effect.
Which one of the two sets of ports you decide to use, is totally up to you. There may be differences in performance, but they are rather insignigicant. Just test and see what suits your needs better.

P6N SLI Platinum SATA Support

Hi all,
I have a P6N SLI Platinum and I was just wondering if the SATA ports on this board will support 2 terabyte hard drives. Looking to get some new drives and will most likely pick up 3 drives at 2 TB each.
Thanks,
- Sam

Yup, checked with MSI and their official response is:
"The board could support any HDD in principle, due to this board has been phase out so long, so please test the combination before purchasing."
Not what I wanted to hear, lol. Guess all I can do is order the drives and hope for the best. I'm not expecting problems, but it would've been reassuring to have a useful response from MSI.
Thanks guys,

Dv7-2030ev Cpu support

Hi,
I have the HP Dv7-2030ev Laptop.
I am planning to upgrade the cpu with q9100 or qx9300.
The DV7 manual states that q9100 is supported but the qx9300 cpu is my first choice if possible.
I found on the internet that other brand Laptops with PM45 chipset worked with qx9300.
What's the case with Dv7-2000?
Has anyone tried the qx9300 with a Dv7-2000 laptop?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please check page #1 of the 13th document on the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=3949671
It will give you some ideas which CPU you can upgrade to.
Happy New Year and Good luck.

A7vbx-la sata support

I have a asustek a7vbx-la mother board installed in a persario sr1265cl
would like to run a sata drive from the sata 1 port , but it is not being recognized
do i need a bios update or driver update?
maybe this is not compatible

Thank You VJ_R,
I have seen this guide, but it does not highlight the SATA version.
I see only SATA (3 GB/sec), at the Hard drive section, so maybe its SATA II then.
I have not spotted the 160GB SSD limit before,
so thanks very much for highlighting for me.
Cheers

Intel IHC5 SATA Support

Hi -- Just downloaded Solaris 5.10 for X86_64 and again the install
does not see the Intel ICH5 SATA Controller.
What can I do to circumvent this issue --- I've search Sunsolve and I found nothing ---
Is this a known/resolvable issue?
I look forward to all of your responses.

SATA drives on Intel ICH chipsets should work in P-ATA compatibilty mode,
if you enable that mode in the system's bios.

Dv7-3010so BIOS support for large 2nd HDD

I'm planning on installing a second hdd in my W7 Entertainment PC (1st HDD 320 GB SATA) and I've found a caddy, the drive I have is 9.5 mm thick and there is a 750GB unit with the same thickness.
My question is: will the BIOS recognize a 750 GB disk?
Previous notebooks I've had have been throttled so that it wasn't possible to install much larger disks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes the BIOS will have no problem. The 750 gig drive will work like a treat. SATA hard drives are not BIOS size limited like we used to see with IDE drives. Your last laptop must have been in the Windows 2000 era because since XP Service Pack 2 and Pentium 4 processors (2002-3 or so) even IDE drives have used Large Block (48 bit) addressing, and there has not really been a hard drive size limit, but I am old enough to recall when 512 megs, then 8.4 gigs, then 32 gigs then 123 gigs was the insurmountable barrier.

Native SATA hard drive support for hp pavilion notebooks DV2000 , DV9000

Hello,
decided to post a question on this hp forum instead of the hundreds of other tech forums out there in the hopes of recieving a valid knowledgeble response. (Also since the question relates to Hp products lets give it a try on here>>)
So here is the question I'm trying to get answer for. Can a SATA hard drive from DV 2000 series notebook be used in a DV 9000 notebook series? I have done some forum reading and apparently there is compatibility issues depending on chipset (Intel or Amd or ATI?)
My Dv2000 series had a fujitsu 250gb hard drive which ran Vista 64bit on an AMD/nvdia motherboard,
I want to use this in my DV 9233cl notebook which has an Intel/nvidia chipset motherboard.
When I insert the fujitsu 250gb into the dv9233cl the notebook powers on, does a read of hard drive for 10 mins or so (hdd LED lights up, goes dim while reading) then says : No OS found.
I tried to do a fresh install using Vista CD; its doesn't recognize the drive. I click option to load drivers for hard drive (yes I also got intel drivers for Intel SATA controllers from hp web site) the drivers load but still do not pick up the hard drive;
I want to know two things really..if at post the motherboard reads the drive or trys to does this means the hard drive itself is good/healthy? If so , why does it not recognize by Vista Install disk or by the intel SATA drivers?
If anyone can accurately say what the problem is would be great.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for responding and opening up the discussion with more information.
I refered to it as new in my post in reference to obtaining it recently after my older dv2913cl.
The dv9233cl is in fact old, however I installed a brand new intel/nvidia motherboard into it.
The system boots, bios has native sata support set to 'enabled'. During post it recognises hdd device as it starts to click and spin and read. After it will say ' no OS found'. This to me seems normal as the hdd is not 'configured' to boot on the dv9233cl?
Also the systm boots and runs fine into mini Xp for diagnostics. So overall I know the dv9233cl is functioning.
However mini Xp does not recognise there is a hdd device.
Wanting to reformat or do a fresh install of Vista I boot from the Vista Install disk. It does not pick up or recognise a hdd is present. I install Intel SATA controller drivers which I obtained from Hp website (as suggested by expert forum members to those who have similar SATA hdd not being recognised with intel motherboard)
Link for intel SATA drivers for XP and Vista
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&swItem=ob-542...
I used the SATA controllers which came up on the screen and even try going through each one ; however the SATA hdd device is not picked up. So this is the main question and issue. Neither any DOS hdd utility , mini XP or Vista install disk recognise there is a hdd present.
Why is it not recognised and how to resolve.?

HP Pavilion dv7-6b21sm Entertainment Notebook PC Motherboard - disc info

Hello guys
I have pavilion dv7 series laptop like it's stated up in the subject
I bought cable with conector for 2nd disk.
Now the question is what speed is possible through this cable or what my motherboard supports?
I want to install SSD disk inside but if there is only sata support there's no meaning for me to buy an SSD disc.
I tried msinfo32, dxdiag, info in support but can't find the product number or motherboard number to check what it supports
I'm attaching a picture of cable just in case somebody doesn't know how it looks
my product number is A6J05EA#BED

Dv7 2185dx ssd

I have an dv7 2185dx computer on windows 8 and I added a ssd to the empty memory bay. It is not reconized by the computer. What do i need to do to change that?

I use linux, and did the following command to get the SATAcontroller:

I found the link to the (INTEL) that ICH9 SATA Supports up to 3GB, so it works with SATA revision 2.0 (SATA 3 Gbit / s) . Someone with more knowledge could help me?
