Is it possible to install an SSD on dv9000 / DV9831CA Notebook?

I would like to know if there is an SSD drive avaialble on the market that will suport the dv9000 or the DV9831CA? My HDD is broken and I would like to install a new SSD on it. If it is possible, with one would you recommend?

Hi,
I have a HP DV9700t with a SSD as the primary hard drive.
I have tried two different SSDs and they both work without issues.
OCZ Vertex III 120 GB
Crucial C300  128 GB ---- probably out of production
Some of the newer SATA III SSDs may not be backward compatible so a SATA II SSD should be OK.  Be sure to install the lastest Intel SATA drivers.  The prices are really dropping so you might want to consider a 256 GB SSD. That size should allow you to use the HP Recovery Disks to load the SSD.
The SATA controller in a laptop is not going to perform as well compared to a SATA controller in a desktop PC.  However, you will notice a considerable performance improvement.
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD
HP Photosmart Premium C309G, HP Photosmart 6520

    They're available now, although it's going to be a hefty price premium compared to mechanical hard drives. Right now SanDisk is only selling to OEMs (probably without a manufacturer's warranty). I'm not sure about Samsung, although I have heard of them being available for single-piece sale and warrantied by the seller. Crucial.com is supposed to be releasing them. The only ones I'm sure is being sold and warrantied by the manufacturer are from a company called Super Talent.

    It should be as easy to install as any other 2.5" SATA drive in a MacBook. I've replaced my drive myself, and it's about as easy a job as I think they could have made it. You would need a #00 Phillips screwdriver (3 captive screws on the RAM shield), a T-8 Torx screwdriver (four Torx screws holding the mounting bracket to the drive), and a coin (to remove the battery). Everything I understand about these SSDs is that it's pretty much transparent to the drive controller. It communicates with the drive like any other SATA drive and can do pretty much anything that could be done with a mechanical hard drive.

  • No bluetooth in my G500 and is it possible to install a SSD in place of existing HDD?

    Started a new Thread as per your suggestions
    This laptop is bought on Thanks giving day from best buy and I'm not sure if there is bluetooth, from beginning, I'm using Wifi. As per the website and maintenance manual there exists a bluetooth. This is no good for a brand new laptop. My friends already cautioned me from buying items listed in thanks giving sale as they are either faulty or rejected items. But this laptop is not listed in the sale and hence I bought it. But I'm not happy, as the lenovo website lists bluetooth but I'm not sure if the laptop has bluetooth. The customer support too insists me to send laptop to lenovo for a refit or replacement. But I'm not interested as I need to move on and I can't wait till I get a replacement.
    Now I will try based on your suggestions!
    1) I will check in Drivers folder for anything that says bluetooth - NO. But the maintenance manual says bluetooth is integrated with Wif-fi. Today I'm trying with Ethernet card.
    2) I will make sure I will download the drivers for bluetooth and model from below link
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS035531
    I will  Hook up my ethernet cable. Now should I directly start installing the drivers to detect bluetooth or should I reboot my laptop
    3) Can I install a SSD in addition to my existing HDD (somewhere in web it says to enable TRIM functionality too)?
    or is it possible to install a SSD by removing the existing HDD?
    Solved!

    hi  beswaminathan,
    Usually, if a machine comes with a bluetooth device, you can check it under Device Manager > Bluetooth (a generic Windows driver will used if there's no OEM driver installed- see image below).
    Looking at the spare parts, the one below is the Wi-Fi card that has a built-in bluetooth for this model. If you have a different Wi-Fi adapter, it's possible that it's Wi-Fi only. Try to search the specs in google and observe.
    WLAN LITEON WB225 1X1 BGN+BT4.0 HMC
    For the SSD, there appears to be no slot for an mSATA or M.2 (NGFF) SSD at the back side. You will need to remove the stock 2.5" HDD and replace it with a 2.5" SSD.
    Link to picture
    For TRIM to be enabled on an SSD, you will need to re-install Windows in AHCI mode and follow these tips and tricks..

  • Is it possible to install a SSD on a 2009 iMac

    I'm trying to find out for my dad if it's possible to install a SSD for a 2009 iMac.  He lives in a small city where there aren't any authorized Apple Service Providers, but there is a Best Buy.  However, the people at Best Buy don't even know how to open an iMac.

    It can be done but it should be done by a professional. If your Dad doesn't have an AASP locally then he may be able to have a company such as OWC (www.macsales.com) do the work for him. Doing this type of installation is not for the faint of heart and should be done by someone intimately familiar with the internals of an iMac.
    BTW why is an SSD necessary in the first place?

  • Is it possible to install a SSD without SATA to USB cable?

    I am in the middle of installing a SSD into my Mac 2012. Unfortunately, the SSD did not come with a SATA to USB cable. I looked and couldn't find this cable in any nearby stores. Is there a work around? If not, I'll order one but thought I would ask you smart cookies first.
    FYI, I have already did a back up on my time machine.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Can I install a SSD in a Mac Pro 1,1?

    Is it possible to install a SSD in a Mac Pro 1,1 2 x 3GHz Dual core?
    On reading this:
    http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-InstallingSSD.html#Installing_MacPro
    it seems it is, but when I contacted Crucial memory they didn't seem to think it was.
    I was hoping to install in my second optical drive.
    Have you tried it?
    Any advice gratefully received.
    May thanks

    The bays in the Mac Pro 1,1 [and 2,1 and 3,1] are directly wired for ATA/IDE Optical drives.
    But there are two connectors nearby on the motherboard labeled "ODD" (for Optical Disk Drive) SATA connectors (no power).
    This kit:
    Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable Adapter for Mac Pro - Add 2 eSATA ports!
    provides the required data cables (slightly different  from each other at the motherboard end). Then you need only adapt the existing 4-pin Molex power to your SSD and you are in business.
    A 30GB SSD is very tight for Mac OS X alone (no User files) 60GB is okay, 120GB is fine, as long as you are not attempting to use Windows on the same drive and have your User files on another drive.

  • Is is possible to install a second (SSD) drive in a DV6

    Hi folks,
    I was wondering if it is possible to install a second SSD hard drive in my HP DV6 i7? The current hard drive is 500GB but if there was space I was wondering about the possibility of installing a small SSD that would contain the OS to speed up boot time or one that contained my programs so they opened faster. I don't like the price of a 500GB SSD!! 
    My laptop spec is:
    DV6 with a Intel Core i7 720QM @ 1.60Ghz
    8GB DDR3 ram
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
    Thanks
    Stevie

    well you have two options you can use a hybrid hdd like the seagate drive
    http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/​laptop-hdd/
    or if the cdrom is not that improtant to you you can replace it with an extra hdd using this caddy

  • Is it possible to install a 250GB SSD in a DV7-3160us?

    Hello,
    After struggling to install a Samsung 840 250GB SSD in my DV7-3160us, it has dawned on me that this may not be possible. Is there a known issue with SSD's as the primary drive in this model? Is the 250GB size a problem?
    If this size SSD is allowable as a primary drive, perhaps someone could suggest a straightforward procedure to replace the original HDD with this SSD. I tried using the secondary drive bay to migrate the contents, but that didn't work because the SSD wasn't recognized by the BIOS or Windows. This may be due to the peculiar nature of the second bay on this model. Then I tried cloning the HDD onto the SSD in a desktop machine. The cloned SSD wouldn't boot when installed in the notebook's primary bay.
    So what's the best approach to installing an SSD in this model? Thanks for your help.

    Hello torgy,
    If you look at your Hard Drive & SSD manual (it is at the very bottom of the list), it should help answer your questions.
    Please let me know if this helps.
    Good luck!

  • Possible to install a new SSD to a 13-inch macbook pro with retina display

    I just bought a 13-inch macbook pro with retina display last week from apple. I want to make this macbook a protable workstation, so I upgraded the RAM to 16G. I also purchased an Samsung 1T SSD 840 EVO, which is suggested from most of the web, but when I took my laptop apart, the macbook is using a different SSD call PICe SSD, which is much smaller than a normal SSD.
    Not sure if anyone has encountered the same issue? Is it possible to upgraded the SSD in this case or have to stuck with it?
    Thanks

    stevenwang480,
    your 840 EVO can’t be installed in place of your PCIe SSD. In theory, you could upgrade your MacBook Pro’s PCIe SSD with another PCIe SSD, but the availability of third-party PCIe SSDs is nearly (if not actually) zero at this time. In the interim, you could put your 840 EVO into an external enclosure.

  • Is it possible to have an ssd installed by an authorized technician in Turkey?

    I have an imac 2011 27 that i want a ssd to be installed.
    while i can do it my self , i would prefer that is to be installed by an authorized technitian.
    I've talked to them and the response i got was it is not possible to add an ssd to imac as a second drive.
    He is not aware of that it is possible, so it is normal for him to think that i can't be done.
    He also told me that only apple ssd can be installed which is not true either.
    I've read in several places where people took their imacs to certified technitians and have their ssd's installed by them for an installation price.
    I need some kind of approval from apple that it can be done, but don't know how can i acquire it.
    Since i don't have apple care yet, and i don't want pay 50 dollars just to ask a question, i would really appreciate if someone can show me a way.
    thanks in advance.
    btw i'm in turkey if anyone needs to know.

    It is possible to add an extra hard drive. I don't know if they can do it for somewhere in Turkey however.
    I have no idea how/if it is possible to get official confirmation from Apple that it is possible.

  • How do I install an SSD into my 2007 Macbook?

    Hi All,
    I did some searching online, but couldn't conclusively find a step-by-step procedure to installing an SSD into my 2007 Santa Rosa Blackbook.
    My mac has been running slow, and I've upped the memory to 2gb (I will be upping it to 4 shortly), but also wanted to consider an SSD as well. I know how to physically install the SSD, but my questions are:
    Will it work with my specific macbook?
    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, will that have this "TRIM" update for SSDs?
    Do I have to contact Apple for a Snow Leopard boot disk?
    With my mobo, is my speed limited to SATA I? I heard about a possibly way to up it to SATA II but not sure about this...(is it true?)
    I heard we have to format SSDs before we can use them. If I manage to get a boot disk from Apple, can it handle the formating after turning it on with the new hard drive (through BIOS)
    Lastly, any make and model you guys suggest? There's no point for me to get at SATA III, so I don't want to spend a lot of money. Let's assume 80 - 120 gb for now.
    Any help or step-by-step instruction would be terrific!
    Thanks a bunch!!

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for the link! Though, I actually know how to physically install the SSD. It was my other questions that I'm getting puzzled by. Any ideas on those?
    EDIT: Actually, it answered one of the questions about transferring my data, so cool!
    Thanks!

  • Can I install an SSD into my MSI GE620DX laptop?

    Can I install an SSD into my MSI GE620DX laptop?
    Couldnt find any information on the site or the manual about that, Im thinking of ordering an SSD but I dunno if I can put whatever type of SSD in there.
    The 128gb SSDs in sweden are just in my price-range right now and it would be reeeally nice to check out how fast this thing can run... :D.
    My laptop is the i5-2410m-version.
    Reason I wanna upgrade to SSD is obviously because of improved performance but also that I can probably turn the current built-in HDD into an external device maybe? I am setting up my laptop for music production and I just want a fast SSD for windows,software. Other HDDs for recording audio, having projects on them and so forth.
    The HDD in mine is the 500gb/7200RPM one, I hope I can turn it into an external somehow(read that you can somewhere and I assume most drives can be turned into external HDDs???)

    Shouldn't be any problem. You can replace the 2.5" HDD of your notebook with any 2.5" SSD. Be aware that you need to reinstall Windows unless you have a software to clone the current on the SSD.
    With an external USB hdd case you can use the HDD as an external drive. However if you erase the current partitions you will loose the possibility of using the F3 recovery with the HDD reinstalled if the Windows on the SSD gets destroyed by a virus or similar problems.
