What SSD is compatible with my PC?
Hi, Someone told me upgrading my HDD To A SSDrive will boost my computer performance. I'm thinking of buying a SSD for my computer, I have an all in one HP IQ 504 computer, its has gone slow but still working and can run normal when optimzied. My question is, Am not really sure what SSD is compatible with my computer and i only have a budget of $300, Are there any good SSDrive i could buy for $100-$300? How do i know if its compatible with my PC? This is the Computer i am using right now: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-Desktop-PC-series/3733137/model/3752238 is an all ine one pc, i bought 6-7 years ago and at this moment i have Window 10 Operating System installed on it... Thanks you for any helpful answer!
See pages 12-22 of the Manual here: Service Manual Your computer uses full size 3.5 inch wide hard drive as for a desktop. SSDs are 2.5 inches wide and thinner. You would have to get a 3.5 inch to 2.5 inch adapter and an SSD. But any current model SSD will work fine and your budget is plenty to get a good one. A 500 or 512 gig SSD is under $200 now. I remommend the Samsung 850 Evo line of SSDs. adapter SSD Not sure whatever other questions you may have. If you need help moving or reinstalling software let us know. This is a good time to do this with Windows 10 just coming out. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

Replacing my HD- what SSD is compatible with my macbook pro?
Hello- I'm looking for some advice on replacing a faulty hard drive on my Macbook Pro with an SSD.
I'm not sure which unit might best for my needs, if there are any installation issues not covered by ifixit's teardown, and if there are any form factor/power requirements that would preclude certain SSD models. Basically, I've never installed an SSD before and I'm wondering which units are compatible with my machine. Thanks for the help! If there's any other information I need to post so I can figure out which drive to buy, just let me know.
I was planning on upgrading the drive to something around 180 gigs (or larger).
Here's a link to the original post which details the problem that caused the hard drive issue:

Mount Point: / <Edited by Host>It all depends on what you mean by 'compatible'... many will work just fine, until it's time for a firware update. I really don't know that many folks with OWC SSD's - it seems as if BGreg got a lemon having to downgrade the drive to a 3.0 Gbps drive.
Take a look at my SSD user tip - it has several links that you might find useful - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741.
Good luck - call back with any questions...

What SSD is compatible with my laptop?
Hi, I'm looking at some SSD's to upgrade my laptop (pavilion g6- 2205ep). Before i buy one, i would like to know if they are compatible with my laptop. I searched around, but i didn't find a definite answer. option 1: Crucial MX100 CT512MX100SSD1 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) option 2: SAMSUNG 850 PRO MZ-7KE512BW 2.5" 512GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) option 3: OCZ-VERTEX4 2.5'' 512GB (SSD) Does anyone know if any of these SSD's will work? Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the answer! So the samsung 850 and the OCZ should work. Nice. I actually have the OCZ on my macbook pro, so i was thinking that in case the HP doesnt recognize the 850, ill just swap them.

What SSDs are compatible with my mac

I'm trying to understand if there's a known compatible 512GB SSD and if there's a transfer kit.
Thanks!Visit OWC both for drives, tools, tutorials, etc.

I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?
Because of the price I'm not interested in solid state drives, unless of course you want to send me $1,000.
I've already got external drives but I take my mini back and forth to work and don't want to carry those drives with me.
I'm not interested in buying a laptop. My mini works great so why waste $1,000 or more when I can buy a 1 to 3 TB hdd for under $300 and have exactly what I want. My late 2009 Mac Mini with a large hdd.
I went to Crucial's website and they can't tell me what drives fit my Mac Mini. That's where I got my ram (8GB). I'm ONLY interested in name brand quality HDDs.The limiting factor in your 2009 mini is the max 9.5mm drive thickness.
One of the largest capacity 2.5" drives that meets this criteria is the HGST (formerly Hitachi) at 1.5GB
Any reputable SATA HDD you can find that is not thicker then this 9.5mm will work. -

What hardware is compatible with the MAC OS
Other than the MAC hardware available from Apple, what hardware is compatible with the Mac OS? Is there any AMD compatible hardware or other Intel 64 bit hardware that is compatible with the OS?
Like the Mac Pro but ... Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hi Boing;
If you feel that way, you are out of luck. Besides not working well at all, it is illegal.

What cameras are compatible with the ipad ?
What cameras are compatible with the I pad?
With the camera connection kit you're able to plug in regular SD cards with one adapter, while the second adapter does include a USB port to plug your camera in. I just remember reading that "most cameras" are compatible.

What printers are compatible with the airport extreme?
What printers are compatible with the airport extreme?
Virtually any wireless printer will work just fine as well as a printer that connects using Ethernet. If you are looking at an All-in-One type of device....all functions like print, scan, copy, maintenance, etc will be supported.
If you are looking at USB devices, Apple does not provide a list of compatible models, so It is difficult to say with certainly what will work and what will not. In general, most USB printers will work.
But....very important....if you are looking at an All-in-One USB device, you need to keep in mind that only the print function will work when the device is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Scan, copy, fax, maintenance, etc. will not be supported.
Bottom line...if you are looking at an All-in-One device and you need all of the functions, you need to choose a device that connects using wireless only or Ethernet, not USB. -
What cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit
what cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit and ipad2
I also recently bought the camera kit and found that it worked fine as long as you don't format the SD card using PC. Once I re-formatted using my camera I could once again upload my photos. that was until I switched formats to Adobe RAW, it seemed unable to upload again. So I switched to S RAW and that worked fine. Sometimes my kit won't upload photos but I find that by just re-inserting the card it works fine.
Haven't tried video yet, but I recently learned that the devices are quit sensitive to the "Format"(that needs to be FAT32, or exFAT- but in this instance it needs to be formatted by a Mac).
Good luck -
What joysticks are compatible with the MacPro please?

average typical games on the Mac.
Well, That narrows it......
Many games simply rely on mouse control via alternate USB device.
In OS X, joystick to mouse control may be of interest:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/391977?start=0&tstart=0
The mentioned USB Overdrive will enable that which many devices can't do in OS X and have separate drivers for in Windows.

What monitors are compatible with MacBook Pro 13"?
Apart from Apple Cinema, what monitors are compatible with my new MacBook Pro 13"? I need something less expensive than an Apple Cinema monitor, but large enough to reduce my neck/eye strain.
I understand that it has something to do with Thunderbolt.
I am looking at a Benq 27 " LED monitor.Any monitor that you can adapt a mini-displayport to (for these applications mini-displayport is compatible with thunderbolt). For example HDMI, VGA, single link DVI and dual link DVI. With DVI you need the dual link if the monitor resolution is greater than 1920 x 1200.

This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Compatible processors for your notebook ( and the replacement procedure ) is detailed on Page 81 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Considering the speed of your current processor, it would look like the first Four are Ok - I would always recommend checking this with HP first before purchasing.
Regards,
