SDD Harddisk Suggestion please

[Ridvan06]

Hello there,

My product is an older model and I continue to use it healthy with ram upgrade. The product reacts too late during startup and shutdown. So I want to make one SDD supplement but what SDD model is suitable for my product, what features? I also want to mount my HDD hard disk to the DVD-Rom drive, which apartment will I buy and how high is it? My guess is I have to buy a 9.5mm DVD-Rom slot. I'd love it if you could help. My e-mail address; "[Personal Information Removed]" is

Yours truly...

The HP Pavilion g6-1290et Notebook supports only only SATA Hard drives

You can refer to page 50 & 93 in the Service Guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02968997 for a list of supported Hard drives

Thank you 😊

Yes, HP only sold this model series with SATA type mechanical hard drives BUT any computer that will run a SATA hard drive in native SATA (AHCI) mode (including this one) can benefit from a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. So to say the laptop only supports SATA hard drive is not exactly correct. Also you do not want to put the SSD in an optical caddy. Optical caddy connections on the motherboard provide a slower interface than a hard drive connector and you cannot boot from a storage disk in such an adapter. In your case the optical (DVD) drive is a 12.7 mm variety. For optimal performance on that older model you want to put a 2.5 inch SATA SSD inside the laptop in the 2.5 inch bay and then if you need more storage put the original mechanical drive in the optical adapter where it can just store files for you. 

Post back if you need more specific help.
