  I have a Pavilion a6010n.  It has two hard disks, but I would add a SSD drive.  Can I do this?  The system has also two CD/DVD drives.

  Hello

  Please first check the spare SATA ports (bottom right: blue, yellow,...). If

  You can add SSD to your machine. SSD being much smaller and thinner, you need a set of media and to connect SATA cable. Please see the following guide:

• Satellite A100 - compatibility SSD drive and recommendations?

  Hello.
  I want to replace the original HARD drive in my Satellite A100-811 with an SSD.
  What are the parameters for search? I can just about any 2.5 "SATA II SSD on the market?
  Intel X 25 - M Mainstream SATA SSD 160 GB G2 is compatible?
  Are there recommendations for Toshiba?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  A100 controller SATA HDD support.
  Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop as part of a SATA SSD drive.
  But I also read that not all laptops can properly manage the SSD drive.
  In some cases the SSD update the firmware of the player might help.
  So I can't say with certainty that the new SSD will work properly and that the BIOS would properly recognize the SSD.
  I think you'll need to test the SSD drive
  You could order it on Amazon and could test, in the worst case you could send again
  I did it too with some RAM modules that didn t work in my notebook.

  Please post some details if these updates succeeded or not, it would be interesting to know if you can use it in your A100 because I would use a SSD drive too

• Satellite R830 - support Sata III for SSD drives

  Hello

  Why Toshiba Satellite R830 does not support Sata III, although the plug to motherboard. indicate that it is possible?

  So you can not significantly increase the performance of your laptop by replacing the HARD drive with disk SSD Sata III. Is it possible to activate the Sata III (6 Mbps) on R830?

  All the system settings? It's also kind of bios update request necessary support SSD and SATA III...

  Any help is appreciated! :)

  > It shows that SATA III is supported, but when you install the SSD SATA III disc it does not work with higher speeds to ~ 250 MB/s (cases Crucial M4).

  From my own experience many SSD readers need a updated firmware that is provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

  But readers in the R830 SSD seems to support these specifications:
  Host interface: Max 300 MB/s
  Reading data supported: Max 250 MB/s
  Writing data supported: Max 160 MB/s

  By the way: the R830 supports a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset and the chipset supports the storage interface high speed supports up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to 6 SATA ports, 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports support 6 Gb/s transfer rate.

• Envy 17 t n100: help adding 2nd drive 256 GB SATA SSD (TLC) m2

  Hi all

  I'm a noob advanced and need some advice and assistance, I just bought an n-100 Envy 17 t. Lack of resources, I don't have the 2nd drive 256Go M.2 SATA SSD (TLC) or pull the memory up to 16 GB max. Memory should be 1 stick of 8 Go DDR3L-1600 to max the16GB?

  Here are my specs.

  murrayotl

  Put simply, assuming you want to migrate to Windows from the HARD drive of 1 TB to a 256 GB SSD, there is no simple way to do it.

  The best way to do it, as I've done several times, is to use a third party called Macrium Reflect application.  It's free and will lets you clone (1) a drive - make an exact copy of a disc on another and (2) image/restore disks - a copy of a disc and then copy on a second disc.

  If you can climb both drives at the same time, then (1) is the way to go.  Otherwise, to do (2), you must clone the drive to an external drive, plug the new external drive and then 'restore' from the hard drive to the new drive.

  When the first doping, select the option "Backup--> Image disks selected" to clone the current drive to the new drive.

  When you do the second, select "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key

  The PROBLEM you have is that a partition of 1 TB is wrong simply to fit on a disk of 250 GB - if you have work to do.  You should run Disk Manager to narrow down the OS partition to be used in total less than 250 GB of disk space.

  You can run the Windows disk management by following the steps below:

  (1) Control Panel to type in the search box

  2) click on Control Panel

  3) click on Administrative Tools

  4) click on disk management

  Once there, you will see the list of partitions.  Select the one which contains the OS (or great) and see how you can reduce it.  On the 1 TB drive, you will have to drop below 200 GB - to be sure.

  The PC will then probably need to reboot to make the changes.

  Once you have restarted in Win10, install Macrium Reflect - and follow the instructions I left above.

  Once the migration is completed, stop your PC, replace the SSD HARD drive and reboot.

  If all goes well, you should start in Win10 without any problem.

  Good luck

• Adding 2nd drive SATA SSD touch 23 "Pavilion

  I haven't looked inside again, but is it possible to ADD internal or external items a SATA SSD?  I see 500 gb for $180!

  Hello

  No, due to its space it's why we call it all-in-One. If you want an external SSD, you can buy a USB 3.0 enclosure and put the SSD inside. It will just act like an external HARD drive but more fast.

  Kind regards.

• D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD

  Hi all

  I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.

  I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.

  Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?

  Best regards, Chrischmi

  Hi all

  I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!

  On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

• Parameters to win 8 and SSD drive

  Just bought a h9 - 1440t with windows 8 pro and an SSD.

  Can you tell me:

  1 - is the motherboard SATA 2 or SATA 3?

  2. are there additional parameters I should do to ensure the best performance of the SSD drive?

  I was led to believe that I had to disable indexing and to put all temporary files on the secondary drive which I use for data.

  Thank you

  eddiel66

  Hey eddiel,.

  The majority of our units produced since Feb 12 will use SATA3

  And Yes, to disable indexing and assigning temporary files (and other files from storage) to your secondary drive would be wise.

  Hacker life also has a great article on SSD found HERE.

  Feel free to respond if you need any additional information

• Can I mix SAS and SSD drives? PE2900

  Please forgive my ignorance; I've looked through the documentation but can't find the info I'm after.

  I have a PE2900; When we look at the config online I see comes with:

  GT281 1 Assembly, map, PERC5I, Serial Attached SCSI, 2900
   
  and SAS 15 k of the 4x146Gb discs.
   
  I want to mirror 2 drives SSD for the OS. I have the 1 x 8 SAS backplane with two cables between the 5 / I at the bottom of basket... I guess I have to buy a spare sata cable sas to replace the 2nd cable and to find carriers that contains the ssd?
   
  Is it possible on this machine?  All the world does? If so, how can I find the correct carrier? I can not chat w/dell as this system is way out of warranty and the store "parts & updates" is a joke.
   
  Thank you!

  Hello wilddoktor

  The PERC 5 / I do not officially SSD support, but it will probably work. PERC 6 is the first controller to SATA SSD support and the H700 supports SATA and SAS SSD.

  I would recommend that you try SATA SSD. In addition, none of our controllers support mix of technologies of discs in the same container/table, then you will probably not be able to put the SSD in the same table as non - SSD.

  Create a RAID 1 with SSD 2xSATA would probably work, and you should be able to keep your another Bay of SAS drives on the same controller. I only am not able to give a definite answer since SSD was not taken in charge with this controller, but maybe there is someone who has tested that sounds in.

  Thank you

• Tecra S4 does not detect the SSD drive

  Hello together,

  I try to install a Samsung SSD 840 Pro to install in my Tecra S4. But when I try to install Windows 7, there is no detected SSD.

  What can I do that Windows detects the SSD drive?

  With greetings

  Hello

  You must add the SATA/RAID driver.
  Download from here:
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/RAID-drv-20070719134547.zip

  Now, go to the BIOS and on the 3rd page of the BIOS, you can change the RAID settings to * 1RAID-0. *.
  Eventually, you will need to enter the password 1234 + and then press on + ENTER +.
  Now boot from the Windows 7 installation disc.
  Select "Custom Installation.
  Connect the USB where the RAID driver files

  Regarding the selection of the target (SSD drive isn't visible yet) disk, select "Load Driver" and navigate to the USB key, where is the folder with the drivers. Setup for Win 7 now allows you to select a memory stick USB attached.

  Confirm and after that we should include a list of available devices (SOLID-STATE drive)

• Qosmio G30 - SSD drives are not recognized

• HP Pavilion s5570t desktop computer: single SATA hard drive configured as RAID in BIOS

  Our small computer lab has two offices of Pavilion Slimline s5570t that we have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I noticed that in the configuration of the BIOS for the SATA hard drive, it is defined as RAID. I don't know why. The thing that brought this to my attention, is that the software Intel Rapid storage technology constantly shows about 25% CPU use and there high usage of the disk when computers start first which makes them unusable until the software installs.

  My question is can I change the setting of the BIOS SATA AHCI with no problems and that will solve the problem? The Intel rapid storage technology software version is v9.5.7.1002. It is obviously old and I could update, but I wonder if the real issue is the BIOS setting.

  Thank you

  JohnD

  Thank you for the additional information.

  I'm not sure it tells you, but I changed these settings without having to reinstall the operating system.  I suppose it could be correct.

• Portege Z830-10N - SSD drive formatting / wiping

  Hello

  What is the best way to wipe the SSD in this laptop.
  Religiously I used always erase HARD drive to factory reset/wipe SSD drives.
  The reason is that it becomes the player running "like new".

  I was always told never to format these disks using a windows disc.
  Erasing the HARD drive does not work in AHCI mode and you cannot change the SATA mode in the BIOS version :(

  Is there a tool I can use to secure erase this player in this laptop?
  If so what and where can I find it please?

  Otherwise any1 know of any clever way of getting this deleted drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I always told me never to format these disks using a windows disc.
  Why?
  I put t see why the SSD doesn't have to be formatted before you start the installation of the OS.
  I did it several times on my laptop where the HARD drive has been replaced with SSD drive.

  During the installation of the system, you will be asked if you want to format the HDD/SSD to erase / format or create new partitions. You can do it if you want
