Solid State Hard Drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9040n

I seriously considering replacing my "C" drive with a SSD. I've upgraded to 8 G memory, replaced the video card to a Galaxy GT 610. I'm still running MS Vista Home Premium. i'm looking to upgrade to MS 8.1 and office 365. I want a faster boot time and current OS. I DONOT play "Games".
Can anyone recommend a Solid State Hard Drive?
Thank You

What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)?

What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)? I imagine they're still expensive, but I'm curious which would be good picks if I were to go for it.

I am using the Corsair P256 (256 GB) SSD. It is actually a Samsung drive. It works well, but will only give you part of the speed advantage due to the fact that the MBP from 2007 only has a 1.5 GB/s interface, while newer MBPs have a 3.0 GB/s interface.
Impact on battery run time seems to only be an increase of 15-20%.
Boot time on my MBP is 40 seconds to login prompt. System seems very responsive.

Solid state hard drive for X100e

Can one replace the hard drive that comes with the x100e with a solid state drive? If so how would one go about doing it?
Is there a Thinkpad with a solid state hard drive about the same size as the x100e? My only complaint about the x100e is the relatively short battery life and it seems to me that a solid state drive would correct that(?)

Hello,
I have two X100e's that I installed the Kingston 64GB SSD in for family members. The process was not terribly complicated:
• turn the X100e over
• remove the battery
• unscrew the access panel on the bottom
• remove the HDD caddy (I don't recall if it has a screw holding it in)
• remove the HDD from the caddy
• install the SSD to the caddy
• reinsert the HDD caddy
• replace the access panel on the bottom
• reinstall the battery
At this point I plugged the AC adapter back in, connected a DVD±RW disc drive via USB and installed Microsoft Windows 7 to the SSD from the recovery discs I purchased from Lenovo.
The Hardware Maintenance Manual for the X100e, which explains how to replace parts on the unit, has excellent diagrams explaining how to swap out the disk drive. It can be found online here. There are also videos here on the Lenovo Service and Training web site which might be of use.

Best Solid State Hard Drive for ThinkPad T430s

Hi all,
I was thinking of replacing the 500gb in my 2 year old t430s with a solid state. Prices have come down.
I was thinking of buy this new one from Samsung, which has about the best reviews of any SSD.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-2-5-Inch-Warranty-SDSSDXPS-240G-G25/dp/B00KHRYRNM
Doesn't seem very hard to install SSDs and I'd do a fresh install of Windows. But I'm curious if I'd run into any bottlenecks on the t430s with such a high end SSD. I have 8 gigs of ram.
I was also considering this best seller:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-7TE250BW/dp/B00E3W1726/ref=sr_1_1?s=p...
But I'd prefer to shell out 30 bucks more for the top of the line one with better lifespan etc.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks.

SSDs provide the most improvement when reading lots of small files, where you need to move the heads and wait for the disk to spin to the right sector. For most people, booting and shutdown are the tasks most helped. If you don't need a WWAN card, I suggest you consider using a smaller mSATA card as the boot drive (I use a 256GB) and keeping your 500GB drive for data. mSATA drives are available up to 1TB

Putting in new solid state hard drive

I'm trying to instal a new solid state hard drive into my Pavilion p-6. I ordered the re-installation disks from HP. The new solid state hard drive is smaller than the original drive. When I put in disk#1 the disk promt tells me the new hard drive is smaller than the original and it will not continue the process. HOW CAN I OVER RIDE THIS? And make this work?

Hi,
The information that I had last received from HP internal indicates that a 160 GB SSD would be the minimum size required before the HP external recovery media will work.

Solid state hard drives

Aloha,
Getting ready to dump my old MacBook Pro G4 and planning to pick up a new one -- came across the question of solid state hard drives for the first time. Any layman advice on these? I produce television -- not a computer whiz and I don't want to get caught (again) spending too much on stuff I don't need. I do use FCP Studio, Adobe CS4, and other pro apps with HD footage and high res stills so I'm looking for the most storage, fastest processing, most reliable, etc.
I have had a number of external drives fail on me losing years of work that I thought was "backed up" on the drives -- then the drives take a crap. I have a 2.5TB raid connected to my desktop that held all my archived video data for a time -- then when I wanted to use the material -- the raid crapped out on me too and I had to re-digitize hundreds of tapes.
I'm really tired of having to back up stuff to dvds -- getting the material back in order to use it is tedious and I have questions about quality after all the compression which takes place getting to the disk. Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Any new model with Core i7 for processing power.
SSD = YES. Buy as big as budget allows. Get enough to do your primary work on SSD. Store on external RAID disks when done.
RAID != BACKUP. Make multiple copies even when using a RAID. Look into a DROBO or QNAP. Buy a bigger chassis and add disks as needed. QNAP with occasionally attached eSata drives for backup is what I recommend.

Will my Pavilion dv5224nr notebook support a solid state hard drive?

I am currently running Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2005 (Reporting Version 2002); I have 1 GB RAM installed on my Pavilion dv5000; Model dv5224nr.
I am considering the followin upgrades to my system:
I would like to install a 120 GB Solid State Hard Drive,
Upgrade my Memory to 4 GB
Upgrade my Operating System to Vista Ultimate, 64-bit
Will my system support these upgrades?
Dave

Your laptop will only support a SSD drive through a 1.8" or 2.5" USB external hard drive enclosure. You cannot put one inside the laptop itself so your setup would be intresting if planning on putting a OS on a SSD. They are great for extra storage and you could still run windows off of a external but I do not suggest it as it's not worth the problems windows will most likely give you.
First thing is to get that 1GB upgraded to at least 4GB for any version of windows - these days all apps are memory hogs and 1GB is making your machine push it's limits while not being fast or burning hot. Vista is a good choice for OS and I wouldn't attempt Windows 7 on the dv5000 series due to the specs.
Hope this helps, good luck...

Take care,

Solid State Hard Drive Replacement For HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j053cl?

Hello there,
I want to swap out my current 1TB harddrive from my year-and-a-half old HP ENVY with a 500 GB solid state harddrive that I just purchased from Amazon.
Two questions:
1) Is this solid state harddrive compatiable with my computer (specs below)?
2) I want to reinstall windows onto the solid state harddrive after I install it (assuming its compatable). How can I go about putting Windows 8 on a bootable usb drive to do this? The computer does not have an optical drive and I don't have an external optical drive, so installing Windows via bootable usb is my only option.
I'm aware I can "clone" my PC onto the external harddrive if I wish, but I'd rather do a clean install if I can.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j053cl

Please let me know any advice you may have. Also, please feel free to ask any questions - hopefully I provided enough details.

Windows 8.1 has a built-in tool to make a recovery usb drive:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive
The HP Backup and Recovery app can also do it. This is a factory clean install image and any data and programs you have added will be lost. If you have an external hard drive you can also do a backup with Windows File History. Then, add the backed up files to the factory install. You can also use File History to make a system image type backup and restore it to the new drive using a repair disk but this is virtually the same as a clone, which you said you do not want.

The Evo 850 is the best SSD on the market in my humble opinion and will work just fine for you.

hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR sees every other drive. My computer sees it fine, so i was able to create a catalogue there. Im running windows 8.1. Any ideas ? I will also add that this drive became corrupt and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they didn't do a very good job.. ..

Yes pretty much that, but to clarify sorry
Opened Lightroom.
Create new catalogue.
This opened the Windows 8 file explorer window and Windows recognises the drive. So I was able to create a catalogue there and save.
I then inserted my memory card into my card reader which LR recognised. I selected it, chose all the photos within and then navigated to the right side of the Lr import dialogue window to locate this problem drive as on this occasion i want the RAW files on the same drive as the lrcat. However all my other drives are listed but not this Samsung SSD.
In addition this Samsung SSD is not listed a drive to import from in the same dialogue window.

I am replacing my existing SATA hard drive to a Solid State hard drive and want to image the drive, is this possible?

I am replacing my existing 320 GB SATA hard drive that clicks and makes weird noises to a Solid State hard drive and want to image the drive, is this possible? I then want to replace the DVD with a secondary large drive for storage.
So I am looking for any "gotchas" that I may be unaware of.
Thanks!

Put the Old drive in an external notebook drive enclosure. Install the SSD in your computer. Boot from your Old drive's Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the New SSD. Source means the external Old hard drive.
Set the new Startup Disk to the SSD and restart the computer.
This process clones both your old OS X volume and the Recovery HD volume to the SSD. You can use a similar process to clone the SSD to the new hard drive you will install.

Can I put a solid state hard drive in my older MacBook Pro?

Can this Macbook pro 2.2GHz MacBook Pro (MC723LL/A) be upgraded to a solid state hard drive?

Yes. Visit OWC for suitable SSDs from their 3G collection. Also, you may look into their DataDoubler that lets you remove the optical drive and install the HDD in that space. They also will have some installation tutorials.

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I just put a solid state hard drive in my mac book pro and used super duper to copy the hard drive and move the data over to thew new ssd, but most of my music isn't in iTunes when I turned it on? How do I get my music to show up in my new drive?

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

2011 MACBOOK PRO WITH SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE.

Hello everyone. I would like to know is it worth going with the 512 solid state hard drive or the 750 at 5400 rpm or 500 at 7200 rpm. My use is for Audio programs such as Serato, Logic and Protools. I would like to know if anyone has the solid state and how you like speed of the computer. Basically is it worth the 1100.00 extra.

No one probably wants to touch this because it really is about how high end a user you can afford to be. I suspect your audio programs will work fine with a 7200 rpm hard drive, depending perhaps on file sizes. I did buy a 512gb ssd and put it in my 2010 mbp. It has read and write speeds comparable to what Mac promises with the in-house drives (maybe a little faster). If you can afford an ssd you would never go back to a hard-drive. It removes a performance bottleneck that will always be there to some degree with a regular hard-drive. 512gb ssd's are a luxury at this point. Your call.

Mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

There wouldn't be enough room in the Mac Mini enclosure for 2 Fusion Drives since they are really just a SSD and a Platter HD working in conjunction. Could really be smoking in a 4 Drive RAID box though. I am speculating here but there is only 1 additional partition allowed in the Fusion Drive. My thought is that the current Management Software would get thoroughly confused with multiple partitions probably due to mount points not being able to register in a normal manner. IMHO the Fusion Drive is another crutch for the normal/average user that doesn't want to be bothered with file management protocols.
