• Question about installing an SSD in my optical drive

  I'm looking for pulling on my optical drive and put in an SSD, because I was told it can do my slow Mac run very fast. My thought was that rather than spend on my existing hard drive, I would take the optical disc and install my SSD it (I've seen a lot of videos shows how to do this)

  My original hard drive offers 500 GB and also have a Windows partition, so I'm a little afraid to play with it, too... Adding an SSD will give me a feature from the application of some of the work for the SSD (such a start and some slower applications) to work only with a specific hard drive? And if I did start Mac on the SSD, should I uninstall and reinstall OS X on this new SSD?

  Sorry, I'm really new to all this. Any help is appreciated!

  My first step would certainly be in lieu of the HD with an SSD. Then assess where you are and what you think of your 'new' machine.

  Windows experience Index graphics and graphics of games lowered after the addition of extra msata SSD on 13 of Yoga. Before the update I added RAM and which increased my experience of them I added msata SSD 256 GB for my Yoga 13 and then my graphics lowered from 5.1 to 4.7 and memory Index and graphics of games reduced from 6.3 to 6.2 and disc main hard went from 7.8 to 7.7.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me: adding an SSD (SATA III) for HP Elite desktop computer. Is this possible?

  Dear Experts...

  I want to upgrade my computer by adding an SSD as a master drive and move the original 2 TB drive to be a slave.

  I found several coices of SSDS, but almost all of them are SATA III interface.

  Is my office supports this interface? as it is just written that it has a SATA interface without specifying what version of SATA!

  How many hard drives could this office holds? I already have two (the original 2 TB and my old drive 256 GB) and I wand to add a SSD for Windows and the progs.

  Can I purchase this SSD for example? Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5 inch SATA III single-unit Version internal Solid State...

  It is the official my desktop HP specifications page .

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  It has 2 bays free HARD disk as on its specifications:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02781215

  You can trade SSDS on your machine and make the old HDD as a secondary drive ("slave"). SATA III is backwards compatible so you can use it. Since then have been smaller SSD (normally 2.5 "), something that is similar to one of the following media:

• Adding an SSD on my PC without having to replace the HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 180 t desktop PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do a good amount of games on my PC and a year ago I upgraded my card to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 graphics and my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W unit.  I also have a card mother mATX (9.6 "x 9.6") of PEGATRON.

  Recently, I tried adding an SSD for my machine in order to improve the performance and organisation for some PC games that I love.  I did some research on the subject and am found a bit confused on whether or not, my motherboard will be able to handle the addition of an SSD in my machine.  I have read that I need you sure that my motherboard supports natively AHCI?  How can I check to be sure that if I buy an SSD that I'll be able to integrate it into my system?

  To be clear, I want to continue to use my disk regularly to run my operating system and all the other goodies on my PC and install an SSD for store and load my music/movies/games etc.  I was watching some affordable 'mushkin' SSD that seem to do the trick.  I can give the link for more later if necessary.  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  F10 to the HP splash screen you will get in the bios.

  AHCI is recommended for use with an SSD, but it is not necessary. Most modern SSDS are supported operation garbage collection which does almost the same thing to maintain the SSD.  Check with the manufacturer of your SSD.

  Even if the SATA controller is set to RAID and the SSD doesn't not part of an active array, topping should always work.

• Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start

  To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.

  Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool.  When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.

  Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start?  Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?

  Thank you

  Here is where I am/measures taken.  HP of course makes this difficult process:

  (1) used the CD Creator to make a backup.  (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software.  Do only DVD-R).  (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image.  He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)

  (2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs.  System starts beautifully with SSD.  Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...

  (3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.

  (4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector.  It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it.  Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.

  Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive?  The backup system image is still on the old hard drive.  Could that be throwing?

  The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do.  It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.

  Thank you

  millergd

  You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS.  Restoring image shouldn't be a factor.  If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.

  Good luck

• Pavilion dv7t-3300: weird behavior after adding the SSD and RAM upgrade

  Has just added a new HD SSD to my note as "disk 1"(the former one is 'disk 0', he has a Win. " 8.1 works). Installed Win. 10 in the new drive and everything has worked well so far. I tried to upgrade the memory, so I bought two Crucial DDR3 1333 with 8 GB memory each, the previos configuration were two 2 GB memory (4 GB total).

  The question is: If you use a single memory (8 GB) everything looks Ok. If I add the other (16 GB total), the new SSD is not recognized, but the old man works as usual. The new drive is not yet recognized after botting from the former (not even from the Disk Manager). Already tried to drag the disks with no luck. There seems to be something with the memory, since everything works with a memory of 8 GB or with two 2 GB memory, but with two memoirs of 8Gb the new SSD seems to be dead

  Advice or similar experiences? Is there something that I am missing?

  So much worse... the SSD seems to be broken or something similar. Does not work on the other PC, then... I guess that this has nothing to do with the memory

  BTW, the 16 GB are works fine

• Desktop Pavilion Elite 137c: SATA Interface for adding an SSD

  How will I know what SATA (1, 2 or 3) that supports my Pavilion Elite 137c. I want to add an SSD that says he uses a SATA-3 interface.

  You are the very welcome.

  I think it'll do the trick.

  I added a 330 Intel SSD SATA III in my HP Elitebook 6930p business book, which has the Mobile Intel 4 series chipset, also SATA II controllers, and subjectively, it makes a very nice improvement upon startup and access time.

  I subjectively, because I have not run before and after calibration of performance tests.

  The mechanical hard drive was a high-end drive for laptop Western Digital 7 200 rpm, not a reader laptop slow poke 5 400 rpm.   I had no problem saying that the high-performance SSD.

  If you put any credibility in the Windows experience index scores, the mechanical hard drive had the score 5.9 max, that you can get with a mechanical hard drive and SSD hostage up to 7.6.

  (A.) mounted horizontally, with support of the adapter in the box below the DVD/CD drive.

  (B) vertically, mounted on the Panel lower front of the computer case.
  A 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter support can facilitate this fixation or the player first itself (using the 4 holes tapped on bottom of SSD) IF the perforations (ventilation, fan, hard drive carrier) line up properly.

  (C.) mounted horizontally on the botton (floor) of the case. Location does not fit all applications.
  The San disk Extreme Pro SSD, I bought in 2014, has been mounting spacer/vibration rubber that could allow this type of editing with a contact adhesive. This montage approach is not appropriate in all cases.

  Selling manufacturers SSD Kits and readers Raw (desktop, laptop)- so working with your store of the local computer for sale retail (££ or €) for a proper selection.

  4. REVIEW the available power cables (SATA style) for their ability to reach these 3 mounting locations.

• Adding an SSD to a new XPS 8900 - the games begin

  I recently bought a new 8900 XPS of Costco. I bought an Intel SSD 240 GB 535 and wanted to use it as a boot drive and I was going to format and use the 1 TB came with the PC as a storage device. Initially, I cloned the drive OEM to the new SSD. This worked not so great - slow time - about 35 seconds of startup.

  I did a clean install of Windows 10 and tweaked the settings of the UEFI. Computer started without the OEM disc hung at this stage. Current start time is about 26 seconds. A little more than 18 seconds of playing with BIOS/UEFI. None of the changes to the BIOS seemed to make any changes. I was going to live with that, but I have 2 laptops to win 10 that are to start in 11 seconds and 8 seconds. I had just about everything responsible for appropriate programs.

  Then, I started with the hanging OEM drive and the boot SSD drive. I went to the OEM drive format and startup I'm met with screen ePSA error error Code 2000 - 0723 - hard disk - drive detected... (which apparently is not a code that recognizes Dell?) Continue to hit, I'm on the desktop. I already had the installed Intel SSD Toolbox and optimized the SSD drive. I did a quick diagnostic analysis on the SSD and it reported no problem.

  Restarted the PC and press F12 to run the tests in the Dell Diagnostics. I now see an error code 2000-0142. It indicates there is a hard drive with the new SSD failure. I have restart beyond the error message and make the Intel Full diagnostic Scan. Intel shows no problem. Hmm? I turn off the computer and unplug the SSD and starting on the OEM disk. I get the same screen ePSA that already displayed, press to continue and I'm at the office level. Reboot, then run tests, the hard drive now and it passes all other tests. I turned off the computer, removed the power cord, the CMOS battery and the power button. Back together and clear the log files. I'm met with the same screen ePSA error code 2000-0723.

  I have an another SSD - 240 GB of SanDisk. I unplug the drive OEM and plug Intel and SanDisk. I cloned the Intel on the SanDisk and only to the SanDisk card. Same screen ePSA opens, but now the diagnostics Dell passes all the tests. I run the Intel driver update utility, which displays no update. Device Manager displays all operational systems.

  If you have done so far, I appreciate it. :-)

  Questions-

  Reference Dell sees something he does not like with the Intel SSD, but Intel said it works fine. I could return it, but I think that there is nothing wrong with the hard drive. I don't know what to do next.

  How can I get rid of the warning of the ePSA? It appears little matter what hard drive boots.

  Is there an other BIOS/UEFI which is available? I've pretty much exhausted the changes and 18 seconds a looong time appears.

  Thank you!

  SSSANTI - good news! error code 2000-0723 has gone through an update of the bios dell version 2.1.3. Check the support page for the download file.

  A word of warning - update not gotten too smooth I would have thought. I ran the exe of the BIOS and let it do its thing - when he finished update, the computer is for restarts itself, and it seemed as he took in a loop - it would be marketing and then shout down before the splash screen. He made several times - I almost unplugged the machine. Finally, it starts at the start-up screen and then end the initialization up to windows - everything was fine. I rebooted a couple of times and even made a cold start to ensure there are no problems and everything seems OK.

  Disconnected a hard drive test, rebooted and no mistake - FINALLY comes

  FYI - it seems that it starts a little faster.

  Hope this bios update resolves your problem as well.

• Aurora R4 - adding an SSD with RAID 0 HHDs

  I have a R4 Aurora with stock HHDs in a RAID 0 configuration.  I'm not ready to replace the HHDs as MBR disks, but I want to add the SSD in an empty Bay.  After reading the forum several messages a BIOS setting must be in for the SSD AHCI mode to be recognized (?)  What about my existing disks RAID?

  Andrew

  Hey morkunas,.

  If you changed the BIOS to AHCI, you would effectively disable the RAID of the two hard drives. Once completed, you could then install Windows for the SSD, where Windows pourrait see the file system of the DESCENT, but you would not be able to start it until you changed the BIOS to RAID. But in doing so, you will not start your SSD.

  Having never tried it I can't swear that it wouldn't work - but you could in theory, depending on your RAID controller, install the SSD as a storage drive. In this way, that the RAID would not try to link the SSD to what either which means that you can use it as a blank storage device. Which could be beneficial to you, you can create symbolic links to any games that you move to get the advantage of fast SSD ultra charge time.

  But there is no guarantee on this. And, if by chance, your RAID is set to 0 + 1 without your knowledge, it strives to transform your SSD in a parity drive. In other words, a backup drive for if & when the RAID had to be reconstructed. You can look in your BIOS to see what level of RAID.

  Most of the people don't generally mess around with this kind of thing until they are ready to start their system or do a significant hardware upgrade.

• Questions about adding a NAS to the existing environment

  Hello

  We have an existing deployment of VI with an EMC SAN and three ESX host.  We would like to add additional storage to NAS and storage ISO tests.  To do this, we were going to set up a RHEL 5 server, as others on the forum have done and use NFS to provide a data store for ESX.  However, I have some questions that I found only partial answers on the forum.

  (1) is there a performance by adding NAS on the network of IP storage for the existing deployment of VI?  Our EMC SAN uses iSCSI to provide a storage boxes currently.  Mix iSCSI and NFS on the IP storage networking a bad idea to turn performance and stability?  Anyone done this?  Looks like a logical thing to do that many small deployments may not afford to buy company for test/development equipment and storage ISO.

  (2) what are the security implications of placing an NFS server on Red Hat-based IP storage network?  How to do this safely?  All posts of forum and documentation of security seem to focus on the need to separate the traffic of IP storage (which is clear text) to run virtual machines or physical servers.  In order to add the NAS on the network of storage, we allow access to the Red Hat server for IP storage network.

  (3) is there a way to limit the traffic on the network interface facing the storage over IP to NFS network only?  We would be two interfaces on the server Red Hat to fight against it, as our network of IP storage is not returned to the other networks in some way.  It is an isolated network by design, for security reasons.  Thus, we would need an interface connected to the stroage and one IP network that is connected to one of our management systems.

  Thank you.  I appreciate your help.

  James

  Hello

  I can understand a problem of pure load.  What I meant is there at - it a greater load on the servers simply having to use two different storage (NFS and iSCSI) protocols?  Or is it better to use iSCSI on the storage of test/development device so that we only configuring and using a storage Protocol?

  There is some overhead in the vmkernel, but it is also to be expected.

  I think that it is at the heart of the case.  I don't use a full OS is the way to go for me.  I'm really a Windows administrator and my knowledge of Red Hat is somewhat lacking.  On this basis, it may be preferable to use a storage OS like Openfiler or NexentaStor.  Do you have an opinion on which one is more stable or efficient?

  Openfiler is Linux or FreeBSD. I still have to examine in detail, but in both cases, they are both complete BONES. Openfiler is much easier to use, however, and will be iSCSI or NFS. If it were me, and I didn't know anything about Linux, I'd use Openfiler.

  VMs allows access to the storage indirectly however ESX.

  Great, so he can participate in your existing IP storage network.  Configure web access (management) to Openfiler being on the same network as for existing SAN management application. Then have your data on the IP storage network.

• Documentation about adding column with the DEFAULT value.

  Hello
  
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3001.htm#i2198241
  
  < quote >
  If you add a column, then the initial value of each row in the new column is NULL unless you specify the DEFAULT clause. In this case, Oracle database updates each row in the new column with the value specified for the DEFAULT value. This update operation, in turn, triggers AFTER UPDATE triggers defined on the table.
  < quote >
  
  I am not able to understand the emphasis on the part AFTER UPDATE while the column with DEFAULT values addition triggers both BEFORE and AFTER triggers defined on UPDATE.
  
  According to the documents of 11 g
  
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_3001.htm#i2133105
  
  n.m. (u) r only changes with the NON NULL columns, but focus on AFTER UPDATE is still there. No trigger defined on the fire of the update in this case.
  
  This insistence is intended? If not, IMO, it should be changed.
  
  Kind regards

  Hi Sissi. After further discussion, we have added some information about a change in behavior. Here is what says the next version of the doc:

  When you add a column, the initial value of each row in the new column is null.

  * If you specify the DEFAULT clause for a column NOT NULL, then the default value is stored as metadata, but the column itself is not populated with data. However, the following queries that specify the new column are rewritten so that the default value is returned in the result set.

  This optimized behavior differs from earlier versions, when as part of operation ALTER TABLE Oracle database updated every line in the newly created with the default column and then fired defined update triggers on the table. In this release, no trigger is triggered because the default value is stored only in the form of metadata.

  * If you specify the DEFAULT for a nullable column clause, then the default value is added to existing lines under this ALTER TABLE statement, and any update triggers defined on the table are activated. This behavior also means if you change a NOT NULL column with a default value to be nullable.

  Hope that helps to clarify the matter further.

  Kind regards
