I have a vaio p that runs with a regular hdd and im tired of waiting for 5 mins. boot up time... Im planning to upgrade it to a SEAGATE 2.5`` SATA to make it run more faster but I don`t know if that is compatible with my laptop… does anybody know if that is compatible with my laptop??
Hi, From what I see on the specs for your computer it has a SSD drive. Because of that I don’t believe a SATA would fit and it certainly would not be faster. Here is the URL. Scan down to specs. Ralph http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews…
according to this page http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=666 , i would dare to say, yes, drives are interchangeble. theyre both SATA connectors. anyways, if your specifications match those stated in post above, i would say, you have software problem. SSD drives are freaking fast. much faster then any old fashioned HDD’s. try to do scandisk, defrag, or whatever your OS offers you to speed up booting time.
argh - seen this to late. the drive won’t fit!! the vaio p uses 1,8 drives - so the 2,5 is way to large to fit in this tiny beauty. not all vaio p’s have ssd’s - there are more with hd’s than with ssd’s the main problem for the sloooow boot problem is the standard OS - it’s vista and that makes it slow. my vaio p is a dual boot with snow leopard and windows 7 - snow leopard boots in around 55 seconds and booting 7 will took 5 seconds more to get up. (my vaio p dual booting) here you will find a teardown of the vaio p
I dont know Markus, if you google type of the disk present in Vaio P (250GB Samsung MLC SSD), it will come up as 2.5" SATA SSD drive. i know, it looks too small to carry drive that big. that means, someone have made mistake, writing wrong infos down…
