Hi guys
I want to replace my already present TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 1TB 2.5" 9.5mm SATA-II (3.0Gbps) Internal HDD with Samsung 840 EVO 250GB/500GB 2.5" 7mm SATA-III 6Gbps (Compatible with SATA 3Gb/s & SATA 1.5Gb/s) Internal SSD (MZ-7TE250BW/MZ-7TE500BW).
Is it possible for me to do that? :huh:
When I asked about this with service center they asked to bring the laptop to the shop as they have to check if there is slot for that & whether the connectors are suitable for the new SSD. I don't know what they meant by that.
Here are some links that could help:
My laptop model: HP Pavilion 15-n209tx Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
Product number: F6C49PA
Toshiba HDD already present in my lap:
MQ01ABD Series
Toshiba Storage - MQ01ABDxxx (MQ01ABD025, MQ01ABD032, MQ01ABD050, MQ01ABD064, MQ01ABD075, MQ01ABD100) - Product Detail
Samsung 840 EVO SSD for upgrade:
500GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD Internal Laptop Sata Solid State Drive 2 5" HDD 500 GB | eBay
250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO Solid State Drive Sata Internal Drive 2 5'' HDD 250 GB | eBay
Amazon.in: Buy Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE500BW Online at Low Prices in India | Samsung Reviews & Ratings
SSD 840 EVO - 500GB 2.5-inch MZ-7TE500BW | Samsung SSD
I could find that the connector is Serial-ATA 7-pin for both of them, not sure - just googled it.
How will I know if SSD can be replaced for the HDD, is it necessary for me to go to the service center and check it out if there is slot & drive can be upgraded?
HP product manual doesn't say anything about SSD compatibility for my laptop, they have listed only HDDs (both 7mm & 9mm are compatible it seems),
There is a 24GB mSATA SSD that is listed in the manual , but it could only act as cache memory right?
I'm planning for migration from HDD to SSD & boot from SSD, would I be able to do that with the softwares available in the Samsung site?
Please advise..
Thanks in advance
