W520 - Replacing Broken HDD w/SSD?

Tech Support said HDD needs to be replaced & since I am out of warranty and lost all my files... I would like to just upgrade to an SSD.
I need some help - The Samsung Evo 840 500GB & Crucial MX100 512GB have been suggested.

Would you recommend any RAM to go with that? In the pictures attached I was told I was lacking some.
Not knowing how much RAM you have installed at the moment, I'd hesitate making a "blind" recommendation.
With that said, I always advise buying a known brand name such as Crucial/Micron, Samsung, Hynix, Elpida. Mushkin...and staying away from "no name" brands as well as from "Value RAM" offerings from manufacturers such as Corsair and Kingston.

  • Replace existing HDD with SSD on a T530 - noob question

    Hi all,
    I have a T530 with conventional hard disk. I want to replace it with an SSD (probably Samsung 840 Pro). When I look at the replacement instructions on the website, they refer to the use of spacers when installing an SSD (as opposed to the rubber rails which apparently bracket my current HDD).
    Do I need these spacers in order to install an SSD? If so, do I have to buy them from Lenovo?
    Many thanks
    Jason
    Solved!

    If its the same outside dimensions you transfer the rubber rails onto the replacement drive. They add shock protection to the drive although an SSD is pretty shock proof. It must not float around though!! If you don't use the rails you'd lose them and probably never find them again when needed.

  • Replacing the HDD with SSD and reinstalling Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook (Mid 2010) since August 2010. Since then, I have been using Time Machine and every time Apple releases a new OS, I download it from the Mac App Store and put it on a USB so that I can boot from it, whether to reinstall the OS or in case I faced Hard Drive problems.
    My HDD is dying slowly, so I planning to get an SSD. The version of Mountain Lion that I have on the USB is 10.8.
    The question is, do I have to download a newer version of Mountain Lion (say 10.8.3) from the Mac App Store knowing that I will be restoring from Time Machine?
    Thank you..

    Since you want to restore what's on TM to the SSD, the SSD needs to be booted from to receive the restored files and to do that, the SSD has to have an OS on it. And since you'd want to have the SSD's OS updated to the latest ML version eventually, you might as well do that first, since, to some degree, it's also a test  of the SSD's functioning. Since you already have the Combo updater, you could just run that, and since it's only a bit over 800 MB, it might even fit on the flash drive. I don't believe that migrating from a TM file made by and containing 10.8.3 data would be problematic when initiated from a 10.8.0 installation (which is I think what you're asking), but there may be some subtle software changes we don't know about that could come back and bite. So starting the migration after updating to 10.8.3 would be the safest bet. At the same time, Setup Assistant brings your existing account stuff over to just reestablish your existence on the SSD, while Migration Assistant is run after a new account has been set up on first boot, so I'd think Setup Assistant is the better way to go.
    In which case, how about this: when you run the Combo updater, you are given a choice of which drive you want to install it on. If I remember the sequence correctly (it's been a while since a fresh install), you run the installer, which transfers files to the target disk, and then reboot. The installation takes place on the target disk which then reboots again to begin the setup process. When the startup chime sounds the second time, use the option key to run Startup Manager and pick your flash drive to boot from again. If you already have the Combo updater on the flash drive, run it from there and pick the SSD as the target. When it's finished, if it doesn't start from the SSD, choose that as the Startup Disk (check to see that it says 10.8.3 in Preferences) and when it boots, start the Setup Assistant process using TM.
    Or is the flash drive only an installer, meaning it doesn't actually have ML installed on it so you can't use it like an actual boot disk from which you can do normal boot disk things?

  • W540 Replace HDD to SSD

    Hi ...
    To replace the HDD with SSD, we just need the SSD.. right ?
    No need for any special connector or adaptor.
    cheers, Sumit

    Hi Sumit_tayal,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are looking for HDD to replace with SSD for your ThinkPad W540.
    Yes it is same has HDD connector you don’t have to use any type of connector or a converter.

  • Lessons learned replacing ThinkPad HDD with an SSD

    Installing a Samsung SSD on my 3 year old ThinkPad W510 was easy. Getting Windows 7 set up took me days.
    Here are some lessons learned so you can do it faster.
    Backup
    Lenovo Rescue & Recovery will back up files to a USB 3.0 disk but it took 10+ hours and it put several files and folders at the top level. Can it back up multiple disks (HDD and SSD)? Probably not.
    Backup
    Windows 7 Backup & Restore doesn’t have those problems backing up data files but when trying to save a disk image to an external drive that’s > 2 TB (with 4K blocks), it runs for a while then fails. The generic error message and event log are not helpful, costing hours of debugging.
    SSD “frozen”
    Some web sites say that an SSD will perform better if you fully erase it before installing the OS, but when I tried to do this, the Samsung Magician software said the SSD was “frozen.” Apparently this is a confusing way to say it’s locked from erasure. Magician’s workaround recommendations didn’t help. Magician’s PDF guide has alternate workaround recommendations (like turning of AHCI mode in BIOS) but I didn’t find them soon enough.
    Clone the HDD or install fresh?
    Restoring Lenovo’s factory disk image onto the SSD (instead of cloning the HDD) fixed accumulated problems but it took several days of work and problem solving. (The HDD’s hidden SYSTEM_DRV partition was full. Did that cause some of the problems?)
    How to over-provision the SSD
    “Over-provisioning” boosts an SSD’s sustained write performance by allocating temporary space. The Samsung Magician program will set this up -- but not on a drive with the Lenovo_Recovery “Q:” partition. Moving and resizing C: and Q: with GParted Live didn’t solve this. Instead it made me start all over restoring the factory disk image and the Windows Updates and Lenovo Updates. The solution (thanks, Samsung’s phone tech support!) is to use GParted or Windows Disk Management to shrink the C: partition. All it needs is some unallocated space between partitions anywhere on the SSD. (Samsung recommends 10%.) You don’t have to do anything to allocate that space to the purpose.
    Partition alignment
    For speed, you want the partitions aligned on a 4096 byte boundary. GParted will align them on a MiB boundary, which is more than adequate.
    Windows restore points
    The Windows installer is supposed to make system restore points but I found it started out with a broken configuration. So open System Properties, the System Protection tab, and check the “available drives” for any drives labelled “... (Missing)”. Turn off “system protection” (restore points) for the “missing” drives, then turn it on for the real C:.
    Faster updates
    After restoring Lenovo’s factory disk image, you must iterate installing Windows Updates and Lenovo Updates over and over until there aren’t any more to install. Fortunately this is faster on an SSD than an HDD. Save more time by having only one user account and no password so Windows reboot won’t stop for login. Also watch the taskbar for license dialogs that open up behind other windows but require your clicks to proceed.
    Watch for stuck updates
    Lenovo Update quietly gets stuck updating Intel WiFi & WiMax software. The fix is to download those installers from lenovo.com, run them, get an error message that it can’t install over the existing software, uninstall the WiFi & WiMax software, then run the installers again.
    Restore from backup, or not?
    At key points, I made system disk image backups of the SSD to the old HDD and tried restoring from a backup after the failed repartitioning experiment. But Windows Backup and Restore won’t restore a system image after booting from the destination drive’s recovery partition nor from the source drive’s recovery partition. Since my backup was on the HDD in the Ultradrive bay, I couldn’t boot from the Rescue & Recovery CD. The workaround was to make a bootable System Repair disk on a 512 MB USB key. Windows Backup and Restore then failed with another meaningless error, “The parameter is incorrect. Code: 0x80070057.” Apparently you have to remove the USB key right before starting the system restore operation but that yielded the error, "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found." I’m not sure if that’s a symptom of removing the USB key or yet another problem with Windows Backup and Restore. Maybe it can’t restore to resized partitions? Windows Backup and Restore failed and burned hours of my time.
    Fix the annoying request on bootup?
    After you install Windows, all its updates, and Samsung Magician, you can use Magician to adjust system settings for SSD performance. Then you’ll find that Magician needs permission to “make changes to this computer” on every boot. Samsung tech support explained that you can then remove Magician from the startup list via msconfig.
    Optimizations
    Recomputing the “Windows Experience Index” might make the OS recognize the boot drive as an SSD and disable defrag for it. This didn’t work for me, so be sure to unschedule defrag. Also use msconfig to remove Digital Line Detect from the startup list and turn on “No GUI boot” (no Windows splash screen). Also use power plans Advanced Settings to never turn off the “hard disk.”
    ThinkPad
    Thumbs up. Easy to replace the HDD with an SSD and move the HDD into an Ultradrive caddy. Sturdy. Easy to work on. Well documented. Hardware that I didn't want to replace.
    Microsoft Windows 7
    Thumbs down. Buggy, fragile, over complicated, inadequate error messages, painstaking to install, difficult and time consuming to administer, poorly documented, accumulates gunk over time that causes problems, failed backup software, even a fresh install has scary event log errors.
    Lenovo forums & support pages
    Very helpful. Sometimes it's good to use Use Google to search them e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alenovo.com+"over+provision"

    I may have confused you: Lenovo provides two tools, 1) one makes DVDs that restore the original out-of-the-box factory image of the entire disk (i.e. System partition, C: + Q: partitions) and 2) Backup and Restore, which is the Lenovo user backup tool that does conventional full disk backups, i.e. with all user customizations, added programs and files. Since my system-generation-to-SSD saga hadn't created the the Q: partition correctly, my only alternative was to create a full up-t-date disk backup with the second Backup and Restore tool that include all the Windows + Lenovo updates, but didn't include extra programs and my user files. This fitted on 5 DVDs, which I will use if ever I reinstall the entire operating system.
    Once you get above 100-150 GB of backup volume (I'm at 450 GB right now), the Lenovo Backup and Restore is very slow, so I use the much quicker Windows built-in Backup and Restore program to backup incrementally a system image and all files.

  • I took my iMac 2010 to a "Third Party" company to replace my hdd, they did, but now it will not boot. if i took this to the Apple store, how much would it cost to fix? if i buy my own SSD (£70) Thanks a LOT!

    Well, this "third party" is going to put my old hdd back and not charge me any money (as he did not fix it) but i think its better off taking it to an AASP because i have a feeling Apple store will charge way too much.
    The way I read that comment – you seem to suggest the Mac was broken before the third party replaced the disk - is that the case or was it working before the HD was replaced?
    Since the Mac is out of warranty you will have to pay for any repairs wherever you take it. Authorised Apple service centres will be able to get parts whereas any non certified technicians will have to use 'grey market' parts since Apple will not sell parts to the public. These may be reconditioned or not official parts - it's a risk to use them. Visit the Apple store & ask them - there is no point in lying about it being handled by a third party. An Apple tech may be able to tell when they open the case, depending on how meticulous your third party was. 
    If you are handy with a screwdriver & have tools and a lot of patience you could use a guide on iFixit.com, but there is no indication of why this Mac not booting up.
    It could be that the disk is not formatted correctly.
    Are you sure the tech copied an OS onto the disk? Did they install the OS for you or did they clone the old disk?
    Can you boot from a backup disk or from an install disk? Does the disk appear in Disk Utility when booted from another OS (either the installer or a backup).
    'Not booting' can mean so many things, what does booting do exactly? Grey screen, black screen, any noises or tones, any signs of life at all…?
    If you look at the iFixit guides you will see many fiddly connectors, if the tech failed to hook them all back up it could explain the failure, or perhaps you just have a disk that is 'dead on arrival' - sometimes that happens. A properly trained technician should be able to figure that one out.

  • Do I have all the parts to replace my HDD with a new SSD on my Macbook (late 2008)?

    Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out if have all the parts to replace my hdd with a new ssd on my macbook (late 2008 aluminum).
    I just bought a crucial mx100 SSD and plan on replacing my mac HDD. I have the appropriate screwdrivers, and a bootable OSX on a usb drive. I also purchased a sabrent usb 2.0 to sata/ide hard drive adapter.
    How do I replace and install OSX on my new SSD?
    From what I read here are the steps I'm planning on taking.
    1) Detach the old HDD
    2) Attach new SSD.
    3) Turn on computer and use the bootable usb drive to install OS X.
    Does that work, I think I read somewhere about maybe formatting the SSD before I can use the bootable usb. Any input or help would be awesome. Thanks.
    I'd prefer to do a clean install of yosemite and not carbon copy my old HDD

  • Want to replace stock HDD with a 256GB SSD, have questions.

    Hi All,
    I am sure this has been asked a bunch of times, so forgive me if I ask again...
    I have a late 2010 MBP (Model A1278).  Currently the machine has 4gb of memory and a 256gb hard drive on it.  The machine is starting to show its age and is slowing down considerably, so I was thinking of upgrading the memory to the max allowable 8gb, and swapping out the HDD with a nice 256gb SSD.  What I am looking to find out is if I have daily time machine backups, can I just swap out the drives, reboot the machine into recovery mode and then select a TM backup to restore to this new drive?
    My main concern with all of this is that I have been reading stories of people having to first create a partition on the SSD, then transferring over the TM backup, but I am not sure how I would set a partition when the drive itself is internal... Do I need to get an enclosure?  Is there some other easy way to accomplish this?  Is it even necessary?
    My ultimate goal is this:
    1. Open laptop
    2. Replace memory
    3. Replace hard drive with SSD
    4. close laptop
    5. Boot Laptop into recovery mode (Command + R)
    6. Restore from Time Machine Backup
    7. Select backup date
    8. Restore finished.
    9. Reboot Laptop into normal boot mode
    10. Enjoy a slightly faster laptop 
    Thank all!!!

    Unless you purchase your SSD from OWC your drive will have to be partitioned first. The OWC SSDs I've bought have already been partitioned and formatted for the Mac. Either way, unless you have another boot drive, you'll have to boot your computer with Internet recovery since you won't have a recovery partition until you've install the operating system. Here's how I've swapped out my hard drives for SSDs
    place the SSD in an enclosure
    I've always had an enclosure or bought one when I got the SSD so I could make the old internal drive into an external drive.
    I typically use this new external drive as a clone backup for my computer
    run Disk Utility to partition the drive
    The trick is to delete the current single partition
    Then click on the + symbol to make a new partition (GUID)
    Format the drive
    Download and install OS XThis will create the recovery partition
    Swap out the SSD for the old HHD and reboot
    While the computer boots put the old HHD in the external enclosure and plug it into the computer
    Go thru the new owner setup and when asked if you want to setup the new computer say yes and choose the external as the sourceYou could also use the TimeMachine backup as your source but I find this is a bit slower than using the external drive
    Depending on what software you have you may need to enter some serial numbers.

    But anyway you can use that drive. Yes it will be much faster than the current drive installed.

  • A600 Replacing SATA HDD with SATA SSD

    I have reviewed the current knowledge base materials, but don't see one directly tied to my problem.  Appreciate any help received.
    My current HDD has been making a lot of noise lately, at least much more than I have heard in the past.  It's a little over 5 years old.  I bought an Intel 730 series 240G SSD, and have tried to use that drive as my primary drive, replacing the current one.  I used Intel's cloning software, which took a while, but appeared to be successful.  My problem is that the BIOS does not recognize the new drive.  Looking in the BIOS, my SATA drive 0 now shows "None", and the screen at power-up fails with "No Boot Filename received".  Is there an issue with the BIOS not recognizing newer SSD's?  I've read other inputs saying that people have been successful in powering up via new SSDs, so I thought it could be done.  Anyone have any thoughts?  Appreciate it.

    Thanks Caveman31 for your thoughts. I checked the BIOS, and this model has very limited BIOS options, which don't include any options for SATA control. There are probably 1/2 of the options in my Lenovo A600 BIOS, then in my generic PC (ASUS motherboard) I put together a couple years ago. It has a menu option for SATA control, located in the "Main" tab of the BIOS screen.
    Unless there are some other options, or a way to get more control with this BIOS, I won't be able to select between AHCI or IDE regarding the SATA control. Do you know if that's the only way for me to replace my HDD with a SSD for this computer?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your time!

    Hi @sherifmadkour
    I understand you are looking at replacing your HDDs in your notebook with SSDs. I can help you with your question.
    Please see the following for your notebook family which shows the supported components.
    HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC Maintenan...
    You can find the drive list in the product description section,  and also under the Hard Drive list, in Component replacement procedures.
    Anything outside of that list would not have been tested with the other hardware, and so is unexplored territory. It is one of those things where if a device has different current requirements, it can put strain on the other hardware or an issue of driver compatibility.

  • [MBP - 2008, 4,1] Best way to replace HDD with SSD

    Looking to upgrade my 2008 Macbook pro with a new SDD.
    What is the best way to install a SDD while still saving the data from my HDD?  I've heard it's possible to clone the hard drive, place the info on the SDD, and then boot with it.  I've tried my best googling it, but I can't seem to figure out how I would connect my SSD to my computer while the HDD is still installed?  I don't have an external drive with SATA connections. 
    If I do have to do a clean boot with the SDD (After saving important documents on an external drive), would I need my OSX disks?  It's been a long 4 years with this computer and don't think there is any chance of recovering the OSX boot disks.  Is there a way to download these necessary to do a clean boot?
    Thanks for helping a misguided student trying to speed up his laptop!

    You have two basic options. First is simply replace the HDD with the SSD. Second is to remove the optical drive, move the HDD to the space where the optical drive was (you need a mounting kit for this) and install the SSD where the HDD was installed.
    Visit OWC to see the various options they have that includes the special mounting kit, SSD, and installation tutorials.
    If you go with the first option then you will need an external notebook drive enclosure in which to put the HDD when you replace it with the SSD.
    As for cloning that is done as follows:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Be sure you prep the SSD properly:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your old HDD. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    I would also recommend upgrading your OS to Snow Leopard. You will need at least 1 GB of installed RAM for Snow Leopard.
