Mini Notebook NB305-N600 Upgrade to SSD

I have the Toshiba Netbook NB305-N600 and would like to upgrade into SSD. I have an OCZ Vertex 3 that requires an SATA-3 interface. Is the N305-N600 SATA3 compatible?

Hi, RudyA.
Thanks for the information. However, I thought you wanted a SATA III compatible interface for your SSD. Nevertheless, I am glad to know you are satisfied with the situation and that you will download the backup to a CD/DVD. Even so, you can buy a Toshiba recovery flashdrive for Windows 7 for your NB305. I have used it and it works well. I contracted a virus around Christmas time last year that required me to reinstall the system. I experienced all the common symptoms others have because the netbook did not recognize the flashdrive. I had to change the BIOS bootup setting then use the Toshiba Hardware Assist Manager to add the bootup from a flashdrive feature. It took several times before it recognized it and this puzzled the Toshiba technician too. Anyway, thanks for keeping me in your loop.
Regards,
Bi-Ill
Good luck!

Since I overlooked upgrading the i7-4700MQ Processor to i7-4900MQ Processor when I ordered.
Will adding a small SSD to boot from in the second bay add any benefits to the current configuration to help get the CPU speed I overlooked or add the i7-4900MQ Processor later when the cost comes down?

Mini Notebook - NB305

My Toshiba NB305-N442BL downloaded and installed new ACPI flash bios v1.70. At the end of the install the program froze up at the verifying step 11. Would not shut down or do anything. Removed power and now it will not even turn on. Any ideas on how to get this unit up and running again? Is there a bios clear jumper on the motherboard somewhere?
Thanks

Mini 210-2007sl memory upgrade

Hello Sirs,
I wanted to upgrade my Mini 210-2007sl to 2Gb. The original memory was marked:
ELPIDA 1Gb 1Rx8 PC3-10600S-9-10-B1
I supposed some "flexibility" of the hardware so I bought a Kingston KVR1333D3S9/2G, but it doesn't work (screen stays black forever)
Is this related to number of memory chips installed in the module (8 for the original module, 16 for the Kingston part) ?
Could you suggest a compatible memory from Kingston ?
Thanks a lot,
Mario

Hi, Mario:
Here is the Kingston memory module you need for your notebook:

You can upgrade to an SSD.
The simplest method is to use an SSD like the Corsair Force 3 and be sure that you purchase the migration kit.
The migration kit comes with cloning software and a usb to SATA/power cable that connects to the new SSD.
It is recommended that you purchase and SSD that is about 256 GB in capacity if you can find one that is affordable.
SSD with migration kit options in a search that I did.

Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

Take a look at this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/five-tips-to-speed-up-your-mac/
Try these steps:
- Shut down your Mac
- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button
- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign
- Once you see Desktop, start a Disc Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)
- Click on Verify Disc and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk
- After this, click on Verify Disc Permissions and then on Repair Disc Permissions
- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds
Hope this helps!

Mac Mini Fusion Drive or self built SSD / Fusion drive

Hi,
I am contemplating to buy a Mac Mini i7 2.6GHz but don't really know what I want to do with the Harddrive. One option would of course be to add a Fusion Drive for 200 bucks. However, apple doesn't say anything about the brand or model that they use for the SSD's which is a bit upsetting. Another option would be to go with the basic 1TB hard drive and replace it with a really good SSD (also around 200), or the third option would be to perhaps create your own Fusion Drive by going with the basic 1TB hard drive and simply add a SSD.
Any suggestions, recommendations, potential problems of eacht etc?
Thanks very much in advance

I have used a Fusion drive (120GB Intel SSD + 500GB HDD) which worked really well, handled all the file movement between the SSD and HDD and made a Mini fast. I added the SSD myself using a dual drive kit (with tools) from iFixit.com.
I would go with the idea of purchasing a 3rd party SSD (Samsung, Crucial, OWC), a dual drive kit from either iFixit.com or OWC (Macsales.com) then install it yourself. Both iFixit.com and Macsales.com have excellent guides on how to do this. With OS X Mavericks you'll be able to have the OS create a Fusion drive or you can manage the drives independently.

Adding programs to mini notebook NB505-N508?

This is a novice question, but I was hoping someone could confirm.
Can this mini notebook run Quicken? I have an external CD-ROM drive for installation, and the specifications for this computer seem to match what is required from Quicken.
My concern is that this computer seems to be for web surfing and such. I just wanted to confirm it could also run software programs. Quicken is the only program I need to run, and the only thing I will use this computer for.
Thanks in advance!

Can this mini notebook run Quicken?
Sure, Michelle. You'll find it can use most any programs that are compatible with Windows 7.
If it's a little slow, you can double the memory (from 1 to 2 GB).

Upgrading to SSD system drive

Have run windows 7 (64bit) for 2 years with no problems.
HDD running out of space and decided to upgrade to SSD drive with larger volume.
Backed up drive using ghost 15, formatted SSD with required partitions (Including hidden drive with boot-manager), shut down system. Disconnected HDD and started computer with Ghost 15 recovery disc then reinstalled system
discs to SSD.
On setting SSD to active boot drive removed recovery disc and booted to SSD, windows starts, goes into log on page, type in log on data, system says "setting up desktop", runs for 90 seconds and comes up with blue screen with "This copy
of Windows is illegal" in bottom corner. Dosn't matter what I try to do cannot progress from here.
My windows 7 IS legal can't understand why this message.
Any suggestion how to rectify the problem without having to reload windows from original with all problems of reinstalling 2 years of large programs.
HELP ! ! !

This may happen. If you google this problem, there is a lot of examples
