Pavilion DV6541ev SATA2 SSD support

Hi all,
I have a Pavilion DV6541ev laptop that has a Quanta 30D2 motherboard. I am struggling to find out if the mothroboard has support of SATA2 or not but without any luck. I am thinking about getting a Corsair X128 Extreme SSD drive which is a SATA2 drive, but I don;t know if my laptop supports it. If anyone knows something, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

How can I be sure that this laptop support SSD physically? Thanks.
Let me know as soon as possible.

Hi,
You can be sure only by trying it yourself. Buy one, try it and in case it works keep the ssd. If not, return it as unused. Make sure that the BIOS is the latest one. The lappy is quite new so I guess that solid drives will work on it.

    Hi,
    Yes it does. You can use Samsung, SanDisk, Crucial. I have not had any luck with Intel, Kingston, OCz therefore I can't tell.

  • Does Pavilion G6-1d71nr laptop supports solid state drive?

    I have a Pavilion G6(g6-1d71nr) laptop.  Currently it has the factory installed 500GB HD and 8GB memory.  The laptop had been running sluggish lately, I won't be able to increase memory as it maxes out at 8GB per user manual.  I am wondering
    if the laptop supports solid state drive(or even hybrid one), I couldn't seem to find in the user manual that the SSD is supported.  If not, will it support a hybrid?
    Thanks!

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo SSD upgrade

    Hi
    I have the HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo and I made a post here:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-Pavilion-dv7-6b76eo-upgrade-HDD-SDD/td-p/3913164
    but since no one replies I had to make a new post.
    I have 2 slots on my motherboard, currently only the 1 being used of my HDD, which is slow and sux! I want to slot in an SSD next to my HDD and have my operating systems on the SSD and the HDD as storage... pretty straightforward, eh? It is!
    Just wanna know now if it matter about the SSD's producer. The Service manual PDF from HP for my PC (found here - http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03043778.pdf ) tells me only that my pc supports the HP 160 GB (665985-001) solid-state drive found here - http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=665985-001 and it does not look too promising, in my opinion.
    What if I want something else? How do I know if it will be compatible or not? Are they all compatible? Would you recommend me any producer. Anything to stay away from or any specific producer of SSD that I should use for upgrading my HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo?
    PS
    On my HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo the processor and chipset are from Intel, not AMD, in case that is important to be mention in this context.

    Hi,
    My suggestion:
    Clone existing HDD to new SSD (try Samsung, Crucial ...) then install new SSD on the primary slot, this will save a lot of hassles.
    Format the old HDD, buy caddy & cable then install it on the second slot.
    1. There are many clone software around, you can buy one or try the following free:
      http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-and-reliable-cloning-tools/
      http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-drive-cloning-software.htm
      Some SSD vendors supply conling software for you too, normally you have to pay $10 to $15 more.
    2. Caddy and cable:

  • Does this HP Pavilion Touchsmart 15-n210dx support 1600MHz?

    I just upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB. Can this model support the speed 1600MHz? I can't see details from the box since this laptop was just brought to me. And if this model can handle the speed, can someone please tell me how?? Thanks. My current RAM specs can be seen here http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR16LS11_8.pdf My laptop is quad-core (1.6GHz) AMD A8. Again, Thanks to whoever will answer.

    Hi @VonL ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp you would like to install an SSD and would like to know if it will void your warranty.
    Here is a link to the  HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide.
    Page 39 has a list of recommended replacement hard drives.  There is not a SSD in the list.
    I am unsure of how installing a unrecommended drive would affect the warranty.   I think the warranty would be OK, but to get support you may need to reinstall a supported drive.  To be sure I would give phone support a call to determine if this is correct or how it truly affects the warranty.

    Dear HP Support Team,
    I am using HP Pavilion M6 1019TX for few months long. It is a very good laptop. It is not only an entertainment laptopn, but also very good for professionals. It has Core i5 3rd Gen and 8GB RAM.
    Now a days, I am thinking to change its Optical Hard Drive and to replace it by SSD (256GB or 340GB+). But here in local computer sales centers are telling me that it is not possible to replace optical HDD by SSD. SSD will not be supported.
    Could you please let me know the following:
    1) Is it possible to replace my internal HDD by SDD?
    2) Which SSD - Brand & Models will be supported?
    3) If any special suggestion to select SSD.
    I love HP and I want to be with it. I will be waiting for your reply.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This laptop has an mSATA slot. Means you can keep the optical drive and use mSATA SSD (I have used Intel 525 series on the series laptop) with the hard drive as a storage. It's a bit complicated to make it work because the mSATA is not designed to be a boot drive so the OS bootloader must be installed on the hard drive. 
    You can always use a proper 2.5" solid drive. Samsung, Intel, Corsair, Crucial and other top brand drives should work fine on the laptop. I have a Samsung Pro but Evo is well recommended.

  • HP Probook 4320S Windows XP SSD Support?

    Hi Guys
    I've got a HP Probook 4320S running Windows XP Pro SP3, and I'm considering upgrading the hard drive from a traditional HDD to a SSD.  I was wondering my HP Probook 4320S would support a SSD drive and would Windows XP even recognise it?
    Any advice or help would be most appreciated.

    You're very welcome.
    You should be fine then.
    If you have a HP XP recovery disk, that indeed should have the applicable sata ahci drivers included.

  • T420s SSD support - it's urgent!

    hey guys,
    i'm about to aqcuire a new SSD for my T420s...
    It looks like the only two options are Intel 320 (that isn't in stock atm) and Samsung 830/840 SSD - that is.
    There's also the Intel 520 SSD, but from what i have understood - it's not supported. right?
    Should I go with the Samsung 840? What about it's compatibility with my laptop? - MAIN QUESTION
    Thanks!
    Edit for future readers:
    I went with the Samsung 840 PRO 128GB SSD (7mm) - great choice, highly recommended.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi guyhimmel,
    The specs match up so the Samsung 840, 2.5" wide - 7mm high, will work out in your system.
    The read and write speeds are best on the Intel 520 and it looks like its supported too.
    The only thing is that the 520 is a SATA 3 and the T420s maxes out at SATA 2.
    So it would never run at full SATA 3 performance.
    But you do get multiple and larger capacity drives.
    Intel 320 - slowest read/write but largest capacity is 600gig
    Intel 520 - fastest read/write and largest capacity is 480gig
    Samsung 840 - read/write like Intel 520 and largest capacity is 512gig
    All will work with your T420s.
    Hope this helps.

  • Tecra R850 - SSD support for SATA III 6.0GB

    Hi.
    I bought R850 with SSD.
    The bad thing is that SSD 256gb installed is limited to SATA II with transfer up to 300/mb. I read that Sandy Bridge Supports SATA III which covers 600/mb.
    Is somebody successfuly installed better SSD disk capable with SATA3?
    I tried Sisoft Sandra and it reported that SSD SATA is II, the same for Motherboard. The HwINFO reported that chipset is capable with SATA 3. The Everest shows only SSD data with SATA 2.
    Is the bios blocked for higher transfers ? I got 180mb/s read, 150 mb/write - which is 3x worse than normal SATA 3 256gb SSD harddisks.
    Can anybody help me and tell - if it is matter of R850 bios ? or just only the old Toshiba SSD firmware ? if I buy better SSD with SATA3 - will it fully support higher speed ?
    Best Regards
    Tomi2012

    HI. this is Tecra R850-1D8 with Toshiba's SSD 256gb. I know that laptop has Sandy bridge and should support 6.0gb SATA III, but in strange way Toshiba limited it and Sandra and other programs sees that it its SATA II only compatible. I think the problem is hidden in the bios.
    I think there is no hardware limits - only slow old SSD and limited bios.
    Maybe this could be unblocked ? or Toshiba upgrade the bios - to allow user to use newer SSD drives ?
    May they would like to sell new R850 with newer SSDs so they will need unblock it.
    Let me please know what You think

  • B570 1068 mSata SSD support

    Hi,
    I want to install an SSD into a Lenovo B570 Laptop. According to the data sheet it has "Two PCIe Mini Card slots".
    Do these support mSata SSDs like the CT120M500SSD3 (only source saying it would is this) or do I have to get a special PCIe Mini card like the FPN064C2RM?
    I am not sure what would work, optically the slot looks like a msata slot, but I found no reliable source saying it will work?!
    I just found this post saying it supports msata SSDs but they werent sure if booting off an msata SSD was supported. Can anyone provide clarification on this matter?
    Thanks,
    volucris

    Yes, due to BIOS limitations, booting off the Msata SSD might not be possible, you can use that ssd as a cache drive to help boost system performance or use it as a data drive, but you will not be able to boot windows from it

  • SSD Support

    Will the macbook from 2007 support Intel's 520 series SSD's?

    Isnt SATA all backward and foreard compatible though?
    If Cosmosis puts a 520 SSD thats capable of SATAIII speeds into a machine that can only do SATAI speeds, he will still use the device, but he will only get 1.5g link speed over SATA?
    Or is it the case that this drive simply wont work with SATAI kit?

  • SSD Support for W530

    I was going for a purchase of W530 and had a clarification regarding the compatability of SSD drives.
    The W530 data sheet provided by lenovo suggests the following SSD drives as available options.
    16GB SSD mSATA5
    128GB SSD SATA3
    Intel® 180GB SSD SATA3
    256GB TCG OPAL SSD SATA3
    But I wanted to go for 512 GB SSD.
    Can anyone confirm whether I can go for the 512 GB SSD option even though its not listed in the data shhet provided by lenovo.
    Thanks.

    I bought a Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB for 220 EUR. Works like a charm here. Definately worth upgrading. Made a lot of difference compared to its original hard drive.

  • 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.

  • Pavilion M7 with SSD

    Hello folks,
    I am having some grief with a getting my new Pavillion m7 (1015dx) to work with my OCZ Agility 4.
    BIOS does not seem to believe there is a disk available when it is plugged in. 
    Now, I also have a new Pavillion m6 (1045dx) , and the very same drive works like a charm in the m6 with 15 second boot times. It is my understanding that both these machines shares essentially the same Ivy Bridge chipsets, and the BIOS looks identical from a configuraiton point of view.
    Anybody knows what would be different between the m6 and the m7?
    -T

    The plot thickens.
    I ran a bios upgrade to Version:F.0A (2012-05-11).
    I now get "A disk read error occurred".
    When I reinstall the OS on the SSD, the Windows 7 installation executable detects the drive just fine, copies the W7 software to the disk and attempts restart. "A disk read error occurred".
    Would be easier to diagnose if I had a way to get into an EFI shell, but can find no such beast on the m7...
    I am currently conducting normal BIOS based installs.
