• Adding additional SSD for dell xps 15 with 256 GB SSD

  Hi, I just bought a dell xps 15 9550 with 6th gen i7, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB ssd. Is it possible to add an additional SSD for the location of hard disk 2.5 inches remaining. If possible do I need to buy the cable for SSD too or is that what cable already included here?

  Thanks in advance,

  There is a support and a set of rubber bumper needed to connect a disk 2.5 "hard.  In general, these are not delivered with the system unless it is controlled with a hard drive - you must remove the base of the cover to check if - some reports are that some versions can be delivered with the necessary equipment.  If not, they are likely available from spare parts from Dell and from other sources such as EBay and third Dell parts suppliers such as share - People.com.

• How to configure the virtual disk as SSD for the customer?

  Hi all:

  I have a virtual machine in an SSD, the guest operating system is Windows 8, but the guest OS, the virtual disk as 'hard drive '.

  No, IDE or SCSI are your only choice.

• SSD for the Scratch, Cache and swap file?

  Certainly, startup disk and RAID3 9-drive (7K 3000) the map of Areca-16. HDDs but... I was wondering, as I refine my construction, on the use of SSDS Strath, Cache and the pagefile.

  It seems to me that constant random access to these files (small for most), could be somewhat competing for overall throughput (they have been configured on the RAID3 alongside media and project). In an ideal configuration, it would be a practical or advantageous to have 2 x SATA3 SSDs RAID0 for Cache, the Scratch and the pagefile? (and whatever else reconstructible temporary structures). In addition, in order to move the traffic far form the Areaca PCIe lanes, would it be more effective to RAID0 on SATA3s to the mobo? What would be the ideal size for these disks (min and max)?  2 x 60GB would do? Or 2x120GB? More?

  I have also heard that, because of the nature of the scratch and cache, it would be better to have them on two separate drives? Or is it just an urban legend?

  Frederic,

  Bays of drive and the system configuration questions are good, but if I or someone had to answer us would be influenced by our own test files, projects, we have worked on, controller CPU, RAM, the card (or the lack of) and much more.

  Given that what you're building has several similarities to mine, I'll share some of my own conclusions. To the topic specific answers like "how many disks in a RAID before it's inconsequential", it depends on so many things you should probably stop asking questions like this, because it may depend on certain things - CODEC, number of layers, transitions, filters, etc..

  Things I'll comment based on similarities between the system you are creating and mine (X 58, 6-core CPU, 24 GB of RAM, controller Areca w / large cache (2 GB or more)):

  1 move the pagefile seems really make a big difference on my system. So therefore, I keep in my table of OS/programs.

  2. faster I ran used two large paintings with the projects, the media and all the files "scratch" on a table and "hide media" and released on the second. While the difference was not huge, the fastest result for PPBM5 comparative analysis was achieved but put 'media cache DB' on my OS/programs, which use SSDS.

  So, how do proceed you?

  1. load your operating system and programs on your disk boot or start table.

  2. set up your Areca and drives in RAID 0, load some concrete projects similar to what you'll be using this system for, and test. Run PPBM5 too, it's a very useful common denominator that can be used to modify your own system and do it before / after comparison of the changes you are trying. IMO, a drive of 9 or 10 RAID 3 or 5 (or 6 besides) works well enough for everything. [Readers here who have a big RAID 0 out of their motherboard, I don't know if this is true for you or not, my test was done with all the great paintings hanging on a controller from Areca]

  3. for answering your question about "Hard drives how much you" on your own system and with your own projects, simply repeat step #2 using a small RAID 0 array. Latest Areca SAS RAID controllers so fast, that I would say that you can count on very similar performance with a RAID 0 array with one less than road when you build the dos system to desired PARITY RAID; with the exception of RAID 6, of course, who would actually perform '2 disks' more small.

  4 configure your final bar selected with parity, load your projects and you're done!

  Another way, you can go forward? (Less time, less optimized, version case potentially filled with several discs, heat and energy than the 'optimal' generation) Note that I tested with a few large RAID 0 arrays that will be in my final build, and I use these disks for the storage of off-site backup.

  1 build your big array with PARITY from the outset.

  2. start to use the system and if it works well for you, you are finished.

  As for RAID 3, 5, 30 and more, I use my table of data for editing more video, so go with RAID 5 was a simple choice for me. That being said, it seems to me that in my system (using a large cache ARECA controller and drives of 1 TB 7200 32 MB cache) a player "a less" RAID 0 seems to work only about the same as a RAID 5, so I don't think that the ineffectiveness of the RAID 5 or RAID 3 for large files (aka video editing) may be noticeable.

• HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

  I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

  When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

  When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

  would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

  Hmmm.
  Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.
  
  Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
  If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.
  
  There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.
  
  Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.
  
  On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
  Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.
  
  Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.
  
  Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

• Hide SSD SSD for the system

  I replaced my hard drive with a 500 GB ssd. My question is can I remove the old 16 GB of cache to my pc, I think that I should, but was informed to keep connected this will always help start time.that does not because for me, anyone know the answer to this.thanks

  Hello

  Review this alert HP.  In this post notes that you can only speed up the main hard drive. Don't forget to disable the cache before setting up the new SSD 500 as the primary device.

  The cage of your PC hard drive should be able to manage three devices according to service information that I just reviewed. If this information is correct and then use a for the new SSD 500 sata power splitter if an available sata power connector is not available in the region of hard drive cage.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  You should be able to use the Intel SATA controller technology cache speed up a secondary device. The procedure to do so is rather complicated.

  If you want to use the cache acceleration technology Intel then you must go into the bios and set the SATA RAID storage mode.

  I would then use the external HP recovery media to reload the new SSD and then return copies the data from the disk hard drive to wish to have on the main unit. Once this process is complete, then I suggest to use the original hard drive and 16 GB SSD together as a data storage device "back shop". Go to TSRI (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) in the control panel and Setup and match acceleration cache SSD with HDD.

  I suggest that the download and install the latest driver TSRI.

  Depending on the level of your PC bios, additional steps may be required.  Review HP recovery procedures.

• Adding an SSD for my H50-50?

  I just buy the desktop: 50-50 and that you want to add a 250GB 2.5 SSD ".

  I want to configure so that the SSD 2.5 "has the OS on it and all the rest will be on the regular reader of 3.5".

  I noticed that there is no additional cables within the computer to allow me to add a second drive.

  (1) what cable does and where they need to connect on?

  (2) what plate mount adapter do I need to install the SSD 2.5 "because I noticed that the drive fits through the screw holes in the basic training? -(à un coup de pouce, je pourrais juste utiliser un trou de montage et utilisation dele de ruban double face pour maintenir en place étant donné qu'il n'est aucune vibration avec un SSD)

  Thanks for any advice you might be able to give.

  Moreover, I am a little irritated that the computer only has a VGA port for my monitor as my DVI monitor cable. even my laptop 7 year old had two connections, VGA and DVI.

  Finally (and I'm sorry to ask so many things) my computer has two VGA jacks, which is one of my monitor, the top that comes directly from the motherboard or the other that comes off (what seems like) a graphics card?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Dear Richard,

  We just did. You will just need a SATA cable to connect the SSD that left free SATA connector on the main Board and a way to fix the SSD in the 3.5-inch Bay available (better not done by an adapter plate, but you can also use a method improvised for difficulty as the SSD because it is light and there is no mechanical stress during operation). There is only a single power connector free available on the cable running on the hard drive, and I used this. I saw no other connector of the power supply. With these two connections the installation worked fine.

  Regarding the graphics cable: more VGA there is also a graphics card HDMI port. You can use a (available at a great price) adapter to connect your DVI cable into the HDMI Jack.

  The harbour VGA and HDMI on the main Board come the Intel HD 4600 Graphics that are part of the core i7 processor, but they are probably off by the graphics card so that you should not use them when you have a graphics card in place.

  Hope this ionformation.

  The first two will work but not the third. See the pins in three connection instead of 2? Only a third is a newer interface called mSATA M.2. Like the one on the right here. You need the type on the left.

  

• Adding an SSD for Acer Aspire VN7 - 591G - 70RT (need help)

  Hello

  I have an addition an Acer Aspire VN7-591 G-70RT with a slow 5400 RPM 1 TB WD Blue that creates a bottleneck in my laptop.

  I checked on Crucial to see if there are compatible SSD for my laptop which recommended:

  MX200 crucial m2 Type 2280 (Single Sided) 250 GB internal SSD

  I was wondering, do anyone know if this information is correct? I was having mixed information online, 250 GB wouldn't cut my storage needs, if I could only get a 2.5 SSD "so my intention is to have an SSD 250 installed and my 1 TB HARD drive.

  Also, if the SSD was not the main drive would I still see the benefits of installing games who him? As in would be the existing WD blue always be causing a bottleneck?

  Any help with this would be appreciated!

  I have the device works now, I installed the MX200 Crucial m2 250G without any problem. Here's how.

  WEAR AN ANTI STATIC BAND:

  Step 1) remove all the screws on the underside of the laptop

  Step 2) use spudger or credit GENTLY lift a gap between the keyboard and the base, then use the credit card to slide slowly into the space to jump open clips, NOT FORCE.

  Step 3) (OPTIONAL) remove the keyboard connectors by moving clip and gently remove the cable from the Jack. However the HARD drive slipped in for me without necessary to detach.

  Step 4) unplug original WD HDD blue reversing the clip and disconnect the cable

  Step 5) close laptop together and boot with Windows 10 USB install

  Step 6) install windows on new SSD (for me windows automatically activated via the BIOS/UEFI) if it doesn't happen for you, simply re-attatch the original HARD disk.

  Step 7) if the activation is successful, again set HARD drive and original format. I have kept all the original ACER RECOVERY and Partitions (Healthy) in case I need to restore factory default, but formatted primary partition.

• Pavilion dv6t-7000 QE: upgrade factory ssd for the four edition dv6t-7000

  I have a laptop DV6T - 7000 CTO Quad Edition, 64-bit Windows 7, I had configured with a 160 GB SSD from the factory.  It works great, very fast, but I want to move to a larger ssd. In looking at a crucial or sandisk pro now, 480 GB or more.

  My question: if I use the cloning software that will copy everything to the new ssd, included windows operating system?

  I really want to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system that I don't see the need for it. Most likely I will modernize in any case next year to win 10, or whatever they called.

  Somehow this update seems easy enough to do, but I want to anticipate any potential isses before we start.

  What do you think? This who should I look for? If there is a problem, can I pop just my current ssd right in?

  Thank you

  Yes he clones above. Choose a proportional resizing of partitions. And Yes, if the clone does not work, you can always pop concert the 160 original. I use Acronis True Image Home 2014 for cloning and it works fine. Some versions of the Samsung 840 and 850 equipped with a migration kit which has the SATA Adapter USB and a CD containing software for disk cloning.

  You can also buy a separate kit:

• SSD for the boot, SSD, reformatting of the files needed for a normal startup of Windows 7

  I just have to use the SSD Sandisk more for the startup of Windows 7 and MSOffice programs.
  I made a mistake of a new copy on Windows 7 top loading.
  What I wanted, it was just part of Windows 7 with all current configurations and keep the data on the other hard drive.

  So what I did is to clone the old HD (which was almost full) to a larger HD, so I have a full copy, which is bootable.
  I took the old HD and removed/uninstalled all data & programs except: all files in Windows, the files MS Ofc, video card, keyboard & mouse records, Internet browsers, contact lists, etc.

  My plans were to take stripped this old HD, after defragmentation and clone through for the Sandisk SSD, so it will start quickly.

  My first concern is to clean the SSD drive that has the Windows 7 barebones.
  Can I just reformat?

  Any other considerations that I missed?

  You can re - format the disk and run clone on it, if you don't want to keep of course.

  The situation you describe seems feasible for me

• How to connect a scanner of network including the Windows 7 firewall is blocking and adding an exception for the associated program to access the scanned files has no effect?

  Hello

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and the process for adding some of my old material has been an interesting question. Who made me stuck is to be able to access my network scanners "mailboxes shared" in order to recover my scans.

  The product in question is a large format Xerox 6204 printer/scanner. The installation process for the basic print server run the 6204 as a network printer went relatively smoothly and seems to work as expected. However, the problem arises when I want to use the functionality of scan of the 6204. Scans are stored in mailbox store ' ' on the 6204 and must be retrieved by a piece of software Xerox called "wide Format Scan Service. This program essentially connects to mailboxes mailbox via the IP address of the 6204 on the network and from there should allow me to download the scans on my Windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, in order to connect to the mailbox store I am currently disable the firewall of Windows 7 altogether.

  I tried to add the Service to Scan large Format to the list of allowed programs, which gives an "impossible to connect to 6204' error. I tried to add the program to inbound and outbound rules manually, even though my experience with this is limited, with the same error. So leave the default settings in the wizard, I also tried to use the technical netstat to find out what are the ports, the software used and adding them to specific ports in the properties of the rules - all without success.

  For now, I'm stuck the point of having to run my installation of Windows 7 without a firewall to use my scanner large format, which is obviously an undesirable situation. If anyone can offer help or advice on how I can solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

  Try this... This solves the problem

• Partitions on SSD for the hypervisor host of vSphere5 (Free Edition)

  Hello

  This will be my first installation of a system of 5 hypervisor vSphere (Free Edition). My new PC will contain an SSD (120GB) for the vSphere host and VMs. in addition, it will contain a RAID controller with multiple SATA drives for data. My questions are:

  Do I have to create partitions on the SSD drive for installing vSphere 5?

  I read on http://vmetc.com/2009/07/22/best-practices-for-vsphere-esx-4-service-console-partitions/

  There is several necessary partiotions. Is the installation program automatically creates those partitions?

  Is it possible to store the computer virtual (System of each operating system partition) on this SSD also?

  I will store VMs for 2 x Windows7 (approximately 2x30GB), 1 x FreeNAS, 1 x Linux for Zarafa, 1 x Linux for many other services.

  Kind regards

  Oliver

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Do I have to create partitions on the SSD drive for installing vSphere 5?

  No, the installation program will take care of everything for you.

  Is it possible to store the computer virtual (System of each operating system partition) on this SSD also?

  Yes, the installer will create a VMFS on the SSD volume where you can place these files.

  Good luck!

• Adding an SSD on the 2nd Bay in a HP Envy 17-j021nr

  Hello world

  I know there are already a few questions similar to this one, but I just wanted to ask to be completely safe.

  From what I understand, I'm suppose to use the spare part kit 605415-001, but after watching carefully the kit I don't think it comes with the appropriate cable.

  My current HARD drive is connected via an AWM 20624 80 60V tablecloth, just like this picture:

  

  On the circuit where the cable is connected, there are two marked hubs HDD1 and HDD2, the former is used by the current HARD drive.

  Cable 605415-001 kit spare parts looks nothing like the cable that uses the current HARD drive.

  Do I need a different Kit for the HP Envy 17-j021nr? Or I do something wrong?

  Thank you all for your time!

  Christopher

  First of all, let me say very nice post with photos and everything. Very clear question. I am also a model of Envy 17-j0xx with a second empty Bay. I did an image search on google with the part number of the kit that you have published and there indeed a cable that comes out of the SATA adapter and goes to the motherboard which is different from a cable layer right like in your photo, but if you look at the end of this I think that the trick is inserted into HDD2 little marked zif connector. I intend actually get the second kit car here:
