Adding FDE drives to T410/T510

• The T410 & T510 Turbo Memory support?

  I think that's what it's called.  You know, where you use an SD card or a USB memory cache extra RAM?  The T410/T510 he takes?

  If so, has anyone tried it?  I have a normal HARD drive not SSD.  I can pick up a 16 GB Class 6 SDHC on sale today for $40 Canadian (about $42 or USD) and I think I might do it if it can help my system.

  Thoughts?  Thank you!

  Thanks for the responses, guys.  I think that peace on the Notebook Review forums (where I also posted this question) it sums up:

  I think that you are thinking about two different things:
  Turbo memory is a memory module flash installed inside the laptop which is anywhere from 1 GB to 4 GB. It can be used for the cache boot files and program files, theoretically improve load time as it can be read fsater than the HARD drive.
  ReadyBoost is a feature of Vista and Win7 where you can plug in a USB stick or a memory card that is sufficient speed, that the operating system uses as an alternative to the swap file on the HARD drive.

  Both technologies, however, don't provide you with many benefits. ReadyBoost is pretty useless if you have more than ~ 1 GB of RAM. Turbo memory offers minimal benefits that are offset by costs - money would be better spent to save for one SSD.

  I think you are talking about ReadyBoost in your case: but with 8 GB of memory, it will not significantly increase your performance (although the SDHC 16 GB would be useful in case you get an SSD with a relatively small storage capacity - I use one to store my music collection).

  In other words - I'm not bothering.

• Mounting NFS in a VM vs adding a drive in a NFS data store

  Let's say I have an NFS server to provide storage to a VMware Server

  farm.

  And I just need to put a file on the NFS to a VM server available.

  How can I better performnace.. ?

  (1) Just directly editing this file NFS in the Virtual Machine (using the NFS OS client)

  or

  (2) adding a drive in the Virtual Machine (using a NFS store - mapped on this dossier in the NFS server)

  M.A.

  If you want to use the functionality of VMware snapshot, certainly NFS datastore is your best bet but I think that performance wise, by storing files directly by the NFS client without needing more TCP or i/o load for the virtual disk can give you better performance.

  Management & recovery wise, live sharing the NFS server can make your life very easy for other machines can read or access the files inside without problem but don't forget, sometimes it also can give you headache. While for vmdk, you need tool to access the files inside.

  Just my 2 cents

• Adding hard drive to HP 6340f desktop

  I have a HP 6340f desktop to which I would add another hard drive.  The Office now has a 1 TB drive / Windows 7.  I added a model of HD Western Digital 1 TB WD10EZEX.  The new drive came with a "sata data cable' so I'll have to buy one.   If anyone knows what sata data cable I need to buy?  A number of real part would be great, but I'll be grateful for any help I can get.  A part number that I can trace Newegg or Best Buy would help.

  Thanks, Denny

• Adding a drive internal Blu ray to a Satellite C650D-126

  Hello

  has anyone added a blu - ray player to a C650D-126?

  I have, but I can't get the blu - ray to work. It works as a DVD and CD, but not like the blu - ray.
  Can anyone help?
  The details of my blu - ray are HL-DT-ST BD-RE_BT10N ATA device

  Help drivers say that it works correctly

  Thank you

  I think that you are the first person with this issue. According to the specifications of the laptop this laptop model comes with DVD Super Multi Drive (Double Layer) only.

  If I understand you right, you already have the STRANGE new inside. When you say you can't he work as blu ray what does that mean exactly? Have you installed the blu - ray player and tried to watch movies?

• What hard drive for t410s SSD?

  Hi guys

  I want to install a SSD HDD in my T410s: someone has done this before?

  (1) it will make faster?

  (2) what SSD will fit without problem?

  Tom

  Yes, it will be faster, but you need to look for 1.8-inch SSD, they are now quite rare and not cheap.

  Look for something like Intel X - 18 m.

  Also, you can remove the drive optical and put in an SSD to 2.5 inches in this box if you want to. This can be a cheaper and you will get no speed penalty, as the main hard drive and optical drive Bay use SATAII connection.

• Installation driver SATA T410s

  I have a stable of machines T410s supplied with XP Pro loaded. I need to install Exterprise XP Pro. Unfurtunately, once the version Enterprise edition is installed, the SATA driver not install and we're stuck in the Compatibility Mode.

  I have the driver (from the machine NIB and Web site) and try the gorging method (update driver / do not search / must drive/point iaStor.inf IMSM folder [taken from web download and installation of WinXP Factory]). The blue machine during the installation screens. Anybody get a load this driver?

  Hi bhnelson,

  I don't know exactly what steps you have taken, but I think what might be the problem is that you have never run the install.cmd.

  Try to download this driver, run to extract and it should be under 'C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IRST ':

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74431

  (optionally you can download a more recent version of this driver directly from Intel)

  Then follow these steps (since you already have Windows XP running and set of compatibility mode I guess you could start with step 9):

  1. turn off the computer.
  2. turn on the computer.
  3. press the F1 key to enter the BIOS Setup utility when the ThinkPad logo is visible on the screen. The BIOS configuration utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the password.
  4. Select Configuration.
  5 Select Serial ATA (SATA).
  6. Select compatibility.
  7. press the F10 key to save the new configuration, click Yes.
  8 restart the computer.
  9. go on C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IRST\PREPARE, and then double-click install.cmd.
  10. power on the computer.
  11. press the F1 key to enter the BIOS Setup utility when the ThinkPad logo is visible on the screen. The BIOS configuration utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the password.
  12. Select Configuration.
  13. Select Serial ATA (SATA).
  14 select AHCI.
  15. press the F10 key to save the new configuration, click Yes. The computer will restart and Windows XP will start.
  16. the "Welcome to the new hardware detected" appears. Click on no, not this time and then click Next.
  17. Select install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and then click Next.
  18. Select search for the best driver in these locations. Select include this location in the search:, specify the path, C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IRST, and then click Next. The "completing the new hardware found" appears.
  19. click on finish.
  20. when the "System settings change" window appears, click Yes. The computer restarts.

• Pavilion 500 adding hard drive

  Bought a desktop Pavilion 500 computer last week.  Kind of disappointed with the documentation that comes with it, also disappointed with the documentaion on this site, just seems to have two manuals supplied with the computer, PDF files (but, maybe I'm not looking in the right place).  Nothing in the documentation provided with your computer that shows what the computer looks like inside, no info at all on the update of the computer (adding another hard drive - what memory?).  I open the computer and take a look to see what is inside, but the manual says that if I open the computer and break the security seal I certify that the computer was working properly until I tried to upgrade the computer, and if the security seal is broken it could screw up my warranty.  I think there must be space for another hard drive, but who knows.  I would like to install the IDE of my old computer hard disk, do not know if this is possible.  I know I can get a disk enclosure and connect it to a USB port, but prefer to install the drive in the computer (may be screwing up the warranty...).  If an IDE drive may not be installed on the computer, as it is, maybe some sort of a SATA to IDE adapter or card would work.  Anyone have any ideas?

  According to respondents, this adapter converts IDE drives to Sata port.

• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

  Hi Mike,.

• Explain "Single disk Mode" + added new drive?

  I already read all other potentially relevant posts on this site * (at least, I think I have)

  I have a NMH300 existing with a single WD 1 TB drive installed and configured for RAID Linear1.

  My apologies for asking a question that may be an answer, but after a search on the forums for discussion and review all of the materials user guide I have a few basic questions.

  Is it possible to operate in mode 'disk' with two drives installed? Seems like a stupid question, based on the evidence of the "single drive mode", but it was not clear to me. I would avoid Linear2 RAID b/c I don't want a single drive failure to the ruin of all data in both drives and I want the ability, so I don't want RAID1.

  I think I understand that if I return to linear1 single drive mode and then all of the data are deleted. Fix?

  It would really just be easier to add the 2nd drive and do run in linear2 and avoid all the hassle of a migration and re - build?

  One last question. If I add the 2nd drive and configure it in linear2, the NMH is supposed to keep my existing data on the existing drive and just "add" ability. Fix? (I know that I should come back first, but just ask to make 100%, I understand the specific details)

  Thank you.

  Hi ctizzle,

  So that all of these modes don't you will not confuse I recommend that you check this link. Since I have my music and videos backed up to another drive and I use my nmh primarily as a media server, I put mine up like linear2. If you decide to increase your total disk space by adding another hard drive and set up the linear nmh 2 mode as well then I suggest you take a look at this guide.

  Also, choose your hard drives in the tested hardware list.

  I hope this helps!

• How to stop my printer from adding a drive on my computer

  I have a C4780 who has the unfortunate habit of adding a Z: drive on my computer to himself. It is especially annoying because I the Z: drive mapped to another folder on my computer to make things easy for me.

  How can I stop this car since supported by the printer?

  Hi AbSoiLoki,

  Thank you for your response. I could locate some different options here for you to try. There is a previous post for a different printer that is having the same problem with the printer mapping a Z:folder.

  Here, the link will take you to a post on the HP Forums with a few steps for you to try in case of problems.  Click here.

  I have also included another document on how to stop printers of grabbing the drive letters, click here.

  Please let me know if this was able to help you solve the problem.

• Adding second drive of DVD to H8-1234.

  The H8-1234 has an open slot and a power connector of alternatives for adding a second DVD player.  However, the existing SATA cable has only one connector. HP offers a cable two connector? Can I use a SATA cable two connectors "generic"?  Finally, the H8-1234 will work with a second DVD disc?  Thank you.

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234. According to specifications, your system has six (6) SATA connectors on the motherboard. Unlike the IDE/PATA, SATA supports only one device per cable. Install another CD/DVD/BluRay drive will require you to buy another SATA data cable to make it work. And YES, the computer will function normally with a second optical drive installed.

• Adding 2nd drive to my E520

  Hello

  I have a Dimension E520 with a Windows Vista Home Premium & a 250 GB HARD drive. I just added a Seagate Barracuda 7200 1 TB drive.

  When I added the disk there are 2 connections. 1 is the power connection, 2 is the SATA connection. I have an extension for power from the current HARD disk to the new, but I obviously need a SATA cable. Which one should I buy?

  Once I have that & connect the HARD drive what are my next steps?

  Can you help me?
