I HAVE A LAPTOP NOTEBOOK
HP PAVILLON DV6Z-7000 CTO
AMD APU A10-4600m + 7660G TRINITY
8GB RAM DDR3 1600MHZ
DEDICATED GRAPHICS AMD Radeon 7730M 2GB DDR3 (Dual Graphics, not Crossfire)
HDD Seagate 750GB 7200rpm
15.6" Screen 1920x1080
Before I start, I have to say, that in HP i couldn't find ANYTHING that says what SSD i can Install... No documentation, and If i "found" that, it wouldn't make sense, because those lists are more "selling, marketing" lists of "friends" who sell... or Brands that payed to be there...
So, reading this Specs, anyone shoud think that should be no problem in buying a SSD ... It's a AMD A68m Chipset, has SATA3, USB3.0 so the technology is New...
So I bougnt the Crucial MX100 512GB...
The BIOS doesn't recognized it! I tried lots of options...
Updated the Bios to last version, back to defaults... Disconnect, connect again.
The drive WORKS I tested it on a Desktop pc, with Trinity APU as well... So it's not Chipset Limitation. I formated it, tried clonning (maybe sometimes HP searchs for their "partition labels" to accept a HDD...) No luck...
I'm out of options... Where i bought it, as the SSD works fine, so won't be able to change it!
Here is the page with "full" information .... The SSD section only talks about maintain recommendations, and how to change the drive....
SOLUTION?
I want to use THIS Drive, since a lot of research i did, this one is the one I WANT. I will HATE HP if the solution is "Try other brand, model" like "intel or samsung"... If that is the solution, I will try to sell this laptop and buy other BRAND, and Bye HP forever!
