I would like to speed up my notebook by replacing the HD with a traditional SSD. The notebook is an HP Pavilion dv6-2153el: dv6-2153el I7 processor Intel Core i7-720QM 1.6GHz 4 GB DDR3 (2 x 2048 MB) NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M Hard Drive SATA 7200 rpm 500GB SATA optical drive: LightScribe SuperMulti DVD ± RW with Double Layer Support Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Wireless 802.11 b / g / n I would like your advice to make a choice right for me. CAPACITY SSD Since I do video editing, given the amount of files to manage thought of taking the cut 512GB instead of 256. With 512GB can hold both programs and data into a single new SSD without the need for external HD to be connected via USB2 (slower). Backwards compatibility 'SSD-NOTEBOOK On the webpage of my HP Pavilion dv6-2153el I can not find evidence of the type of controller that is on the edge of my notebook. How do you determine exactly which controller is sata nle my notebook? I imagine it's a SATA II 3Gb / s, since the original hard drive is a Hitachi SATA II 3Gb / s Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 (HTS725050A9A364). According to you my notebook HP Pavilion dv6-2153el has a SATA II or SATA III controller? CHOICE SSD If the controller of the notebook is SATA II 3Gb / s, I would find a bottleneck in the notebook than the SATA III 6Gb / s SSD. This makes me think that it is useless to spend more money for a super-fast SSD type Samsung MZ-850 pro 7KE 512GB to 260 €. Assuming you have the controller in the notebook sata II 3 Gb / s I had thought of: KINGSTONE HiperX SHSS37A 480GB (195 € best price online shipping included) OCZ ARC100 25SAT3 480 GB (177 € best price online shipping included) Furthermore we would also SAMSUNG 850 512GB MZ-75E (185 € best price online shipping included) What do you think?
I'm using a Samsung 840 EVO (250GB) since the beginning of 2014. No problem whatsoever and the accompanying software is nice.
thanks for your information. For accompanying software you mean that supplied SSD that serves to transfer windows 7 from old HDD to SSD?
I'd go for the Samsung. I'm using an 830 and it still runs well. Eventually, I'll upgrade to a 1TB 850 pro. :MJ
I decided and I took Samsung MZ-75E500B/EU SSD 850 EVO to 181,8 €. Samsung pro cost € 250 (too) and then my laptop has only the controller SATA II 3 Gb / s. With SATA II in the notebook it does not make sense to spend € 250 for Samsung pro. I am satisfied with the package and Samsung SSD performance. In the box I found a great software for: 1-clone the traditional HDD in SSD (60GB in 70 minutes) 2-Optimize / set windows 7 operating SSD (no defrag, etc) as Performance - Windows 7 comes on in 35 seconds (before about 3 minutes) - The test I see that reads / writes to 250/260 Mb / s (SATA II because of the restriction of the notebook)
