HP EliteBook 850 G1 SSD M.2 chip...

I want to add a SSD chip as a second drive to my EliteBook. It has that SSD M.2 type 2242 .
Can anyone point out a chip model/manufacturer I could shop for?
There is not a lot of information in any of the HP documentation I found. There seem to be 2 design of those chips, one with 2 connectors, another with 3...
I found this one that kind of look loke it, but there is only 2 connector on my laptop board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How do I format new Samsung 850 Pro SSD in my 2012 Mac Mini

So my 12 year old is frustrated by the slower speed of his mac mini, and with some of his birthday money and my expertise (which I hope to borrow from you and pass off as my own), I've purchased a Samsung 850 Pro SSD (256 GB) and am going to install it for him. We've already increased the memory.   I've also purchased the OWC data doubler and am planning to install the Samsung with the original Mac hard drive.
Having watched the install videos several times I feel fairly competent to do that, but my question is what to do then to access and make the most use of the SSD so everything (1) works and (2) runs as fast as possible?    For example, first, do I need to copy the OS to the SSD and delete from the Mac hard drive, and then somehow set up the SSD as the main drive?   And do I do this before I install the SSD or can I do it after?   Finally, what do I need to do to ensure that the computer uses the two drives optimally thereafter for maximum speed/performance. You can see my level of expertise from my questions.
Other than the memory and the SSD install, we're not planning any other modifications, and his use of the mini is pretty vanilla (games, videos, etc.).    Any step-by-step help for a relative novice in this area (me) would be much appreciated.
My Mac's specs:
Mac mini (late 2012)
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB
OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

1. Partition and format the SSD.
2. Install OS X on the SSD.
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu. You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed. When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

How can I check which is the actual firmware revision in my Notebook? I do not want to try an update unnecessarily.

Thinkpad S430 Samsung 850 EVO SSD support

Hi I have replaced the original hard drive in my Thinkpad s430 with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and done a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit Once its booted up its works perfectly, but I have terrible trouble getting it to boot reliably. I will often end up with "Attempting Automatic Repair" bootloop followed by blue screen of death with Unexpected I/O Error Error code 0xc00000e9 Sometimes entering the BIOS and then exiting again will get it to boot up successfully. I've tried everything I can download from Lenovo website latest BIOS update 2.60, lates chipset update, lates SATA/AHCI storage controller update etc. Most likely cuplrit I think is the SATA/AHCI controller driver QuestionsDoes anyone have a Samsung 850 EVO SSD running successfully as the internal hard drive in an S430?Are there any drivers or firmware updates that need to be applied to the Samsung Drive or the S430 to get the two to work reliably together? When my S430 does boot up with the SSD it takes about 2-3 minutes. The old hard drive which is ten times slower boots up to login screen in about 30 seconds. Need help please?

Yes, you can.

Elitebook 850 g1 2013 ultra slim dock

I recently acquired an HP Elitebook 850 G1 and the 2013 Ultra Slim Dock. I have twi situations, both related that I cannot determine the cause and ultimately resolve. I've configured the power parameters (so I thought) not to allow the laptop in to sleep or hybernate mode when plugged in. While this works when laptop is not docked, when docked I end up having to hold the power button on the dock to completely shutdown the laptop. The second, which only happens when docked, the screen response is extremely sluggish. I've updated all the drivers I could locate. Not sure where to go from here.

Booting with Sata 3 SSD, use Intel chip or Marvell chip?

The is my first SSD (Plextor PX-M2 Series PX-128). I plan on using it as my boot drive. Does it make a difference if I use the Intel 6g/s Sata or the Marvell 6g/s connectors?
I'll be using the MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) board.
Thank you.

From what I've read it's better to use the Intel, you can try both though.

Half the speed on Samsung EVO 850 SSD

I just installed a Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD in my mid-2010 iMac with 27" monitor and 2.93GHz i7 processor. According to Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, I am only getting 255MB/s read and write speeds when the SSD is advertised as 2x this fast. Why am I only getting half the R/W speeds. Running the latest version of Yosemite.

I may have just discovered my own answer. My 2010 iMac I believe has a SATA II controller which operates at 3Gb/sec unlike SATA III which does 6Gb/sec. Is that the answer?

Elitebook 840

I cannot turn the touchpad off on my EliteBook 840. I tried the double-click motion on the touchpad but it does nothing. I really need to turn it off. Everytime I try to type my hand barely touches the touchpad and moves my position. Any help is appreciated!

I am doing an evaluation of HP for several enterprise customers
I have a HP Elitebook 850 G1 with me on my vacation, and it does not wake up. It has to be cold booted by pressing the power button until it power off. The PC does not respond to any other action.
(I post this here because is the same hardware in the 850 model.)
I have tried pulling out power, USB, Ethenet plugs. but no reaction
I have only plugged in a mouse, nothing else. It is plugged in to the power outlet all the time.
I also have two different 840 models, one with AMD graphic card and Broadcom communication chip (bluetooth and wireless), an I have one with all based on Intel (graphics, wireless). The last model i a 820. I dont know if these also have the same problem. I will test those are my vacation next week.
I have tried to deactivate hibernation in Windows Power options, but no good.
The power option not tried out is to set the harddrive "not to be turned off". I dont know if this will help with a SSD, but I'll find out later.
Hardware:
BIOS is v.1.04 (last)
Windows 7, Ultimate, x64
HP SCCM driverpackage is installed
WIreless is turned off by Wireless button. only using Ethernet
HP Connetion Manager is not started
diskdrive: SAMSUNG MZ7PD256HAFV-000 SCSI Disk Device
Intel SATA AHCI Controller v.12.9.0.1001
Intel Ethenet Connection I218-LM v.12.8.33.9427

INtel USB 3.0 drivers v. 2.5.1.28
HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor v.6.0.5.1
HP ESU package is installed (MS hotfixes)
Software installed
HP lt4112 Gobi software installed but not used
HP Connection Manager is installed but not started. Tried with HPCM started.
Dropbox and Google Drive installed. (Trouble started before DropBox was installed)
Cyberlink YouCam installed but not used.
Are any other out there with this problem and some answers?
I could not recommend a PC (or several others siblings) that does not wake up after a sleep!

How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?

Hey, I know there are other posts on what enclosure you can use and if it's a possibility, but I haven't seen any that tell me how I get OS X on the SSD without a disc? Can I download the installer on a flash drive somehow? Also, I am wondering if this really is a good idea, using my Macbook Pro's HDD for a backup HDD, instead of buying one? I have no use for it anyway, if and when I get a new SSD. BTW, the HDD is the upgraded factory 500gb 7200rpm. Also, do you think it's smarter to have a bigger backup drive than internal drive? In other words, I would like to get a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD, and my current HDD is only 500GB.... I am a musician and need a lot of storage for musical purposes. I use Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9, Office, and Photoshop.... My Macbook Pro is a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15.4' 2.2ghz quad core i7 8gb RAM. Oh yeah and a mother thing is, I think I should get an enclosure that has a thunderbolt port with usb, what are your thoughts?

How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?
Get an externel enclosure at the same time.
You can order from OWC
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Put the SSD in the externel enclosure and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner, to clone the internal drive and all it content to the SSD. Then swap them out.
Always good to have more than one backup.

I cannot install the latest update for itunes. After installing an ssd with a dual drive kit, and freshly installing osx lion.

After downloading the update and restarting to complete the installation, as the restart process begins it is interrupted by this message: Could not install some of the updates. Then it restarts, and i am stuck with itunes 10.6.3. What could the issue be? Mac Mini mid 2011, 500gb HDD, 128gb Samsung 850 pro SSD, 8gb ram. Running OS on SSD.

First open Disk Utility and try repairing the HD
Next, I would try installing the 10.7.5 combo update
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

Swapping A Hardrive For SSD?

Am looking to buy a Samsung 850 pro SSD.
What is the procedure for swapping all my data/drivers etc from the old drive to a new SSD?
Is there a sticky somewhere?...will there be any issue with the Windows 7 licence key?

> What is the procedure for swapping all my data/drivers etc from the old drive to a new SSD?
General overview:
0. Clean up and defrag HDD using e.g. the free versions of CCleaner and Defraggler.
1. Put existing HDD in USB-attached external enclosure.
2. Put SSD in ThinkPad where the HDD was.
3. Boot from HDD.
4. Run migration/clone software. Samsung offers free software here: Samsung Data Migration Software
5. Reboot from SSD.
> .will there be any issue with the Windows 7 licence key?
Not if you use migration/clone software.

Defragmentation on ssd in windows 7 yes or no

When i have installed a Samsung 850 evos ssd 500 gb, do i then have to make any changes in windows 7 home premium 64 bit, to ensure the best performance from the ssd? I have read a couple of different oppinions about the subject defragmentation, but what is your opinion about that, when using a installed ssd? Should it be on or off, and also are there any other changes that perhaps should be made?
Best regards to everyone

Defragging of an SSD should never take place. If im not mistaken samsung also delivers software suited to ensure that the SSD runs at optimal performance with user input. If defragging is schedualed on your win7 machine and the SSD is your main drive, namely where your OS resides you should turn it off. I do beleive win7 is smart enough to realise that an SSD is installed but im not sure, as for win8.1 this is done automatically.

Samsung 850 Pro into a MBP (early '11 15") issue

OK, so bear with me as I'm new to this and I hope I get all the information and terms right!
I have just completed a major upgrade on my MBP and am now having issues installing the operating system on my new Samsung 850 Pro SSD.
My system is as follows;
MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 model 8.2
2.2GHz i7 quad core
4GB RAM which I have upgraded to16GB with no issues (I hope?)
500GB HDD has been moved to the optical bay via OWC Data Doubler
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD installed into main bay
OS X 10.8.5, also a recent upgrade, was running 10.7.5 for years
I can boot the system from the HDD with no issues. I have formatted the SSD to Journal and both disk utility and finder both can see the drive. Now to instal the OS on the SSD.
Plan A; Clone the HDD to the SSD via Disk Utility. I got an error telling me to do this via the recovery disk (obviously) which I did, this resulted in an error stating that the disk didn't have enough space. Not sure how much it needs but the HDD states it is only using 56GB to go into 256GB.
Plan B; Tried to do an install onto the SSD via recovery. This resulted in an error stating that this was not available and to try again later. I have tried several times, at different times of the day, for 2 days now, both using Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections. No luck
Plan C; Tried restoring SSD from a disk image of HDD from an external drive. Same error as plan A.
Plan D; Erased HDD to test if i was doing either plan B or plan C incorrectly. When I attempted to do the install on the HDD via recovery I got the exact same message (frustrating as I have done this several times over the years). Then attempted to restore the HDD from the disk image on the external drive which was successful!
Therefore, after 2 days of back and forth I am back to the beginning, awesome!!!
So I basically need to know how to get OSX 10.8.x on to the SSD so I can use this as my start up disk. I am a Pro Tools user and therefore can only run 10.8.x (the x because it doesn't matter which version). One of my options is to go to my (not so) local Apple store and see if they can run one of their disk images onto the SSD, (this is how I upgraded to 10.8.5) but I can't get there for another week and was hoping to get the system up and running before then as I have some testing to be done.
So here's the big question, what am I doing wrong?
I really appreciate everyone's help on the matter.
Merry Christmas

Try going to the App Store Purchases tab on the HDD and download 10.8 to the HDD. When the installer starts, point it at the SSD. Before you install, make a copy of the installer so you won't have to download it again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.
