Your HDD is failing most probably (or failed). If its in warranty take it to service centre ASAP.

Hi,

I am thinking of changing the HDD to a SSD. Could anybody please suggest which SSD to get? I am looking for a 120GB Drive. Thanks.

Can you suggest some online store where I can buy the M4?

(Now wondering if I could really buy M4 (Maverick) online. :p)

Crucial.com > Amazon.com


Crucial prefers customers to buy from their site only. M4 has got 3 yrs warranty, but don't know about international warranty. Nothing explicitly mentioned on their site. Check out.

About m4 (CS ;) ), it will cost you more than 5TB of SSDs :twisted:

If you don't want all the hassle, get Vertex 3 from flipkart.. Do ask d3p, S_V, & Skud, as they own SSDs, so they can share their experience with you.

IMO create a separate thread to get more help.

I will be getting the OCZ Vertex 3. However, I am thinking of replacing the DVD Drive with an HDD caddy, which will hold my secondary hard disk, while I use the SSD as the primary drive. Can anyone suggest a link where I can buy the caddy? Thanks.

^Caddy = HDD casing?

It replaces the DVD drive of the laptop, and you can plug in an HDD in that so that you can use 2 internal HDDs in a laptop. Link:

SATA 2nd HDD Hard Drive Caddy for 12.7mm Universal CD / DVD-ROM Optical Bay | eBay

However, is there any store which sells them in India locally? The price quoted here is too high, as this specific models sells for only 10$ in US. :-x

Oh but why do you need so much of space? Instead get momentus 1TB, it will have as fast boot times as an SSD.

Also, I opened up my lappi yest just to check how can we replace HDD with an SSD, and its damn easy! :D

^ I think I saw the specs say that the 15.6 inch will be available in both 630 and 650 variants.
Click to expand...

well, HP's site says a different story.
HP DV6-7xxx

Acc. to it, the choice will only be provided on the processor, it'll come with 630m only.

btw, i am going to buy laptop in coming 2 months, mainly for gaming.
Should i stick with 6770m or 630m will deliver the juice... (though it has a poor 96 cores).

Hey guys,
I want to buy a 6165tx but I've seen this other model dv6-6c11tx that has a better AMD 7690 GPU than the 6165tx but this doesnt seem to be available in india.

Does anybody know whether it will come and when?

Well like I said in the next post. My statement was based on this article ==> " HP Lists New Ivy Bridge 2012 Mosaic Design Laptops, Available April 8th "
