Hello All,
I will start by saying; I know nothing concerning Solid State Drives, I only purchased this one because my buddy was selling it for $75 with the transfer kit and once I searched the going price I knew it was a deal I could not refuse. With that being said, I've done some research on this drive and many are stating different procedures of how to configure your laptop before installing.
Such as; disabling disk defragmenter in Windows 7, booting in RAID, setting ACHI in BIOS ect......... and there's a whole lot more. So know I'm confused and cautious even to install this Solid State Drive. I don't want to damage my laptop in any kind of way.
So here's my device;
HP Compaq 8510p - Business Notebook
2.0 GHz Intel Duo Core CPU
4GB Ram
Currently installed; Samsung 160 GB Hard Drive
Windows 7 Ultimate
So here's my question?
Can I clone my Hard Drive to the Solid State Drive and simply install the Solid State Drive into my HP laptop and boot it up and surf the web?
Do I have to configure anything in Win 7 or in my BIOS?
I also read something concerning NAND and TRIM and want to know if I have to tamper with and of those settings within the Solid State Drive?
Someone please help.......................!
