Alienware 15r2: SSD Plextor M8pe

Greetings,

I plan to buy the r2 Alienware 15 and in my current spec, I have 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 gb/s. I intend to buy and load a pcie SSD, so it's my choice Plextor 256Go 2280 m2 M8PE (G) Solid State Drive NVME

My questions are,

(a) corresponds to the foregoing a PCIe SSD?

(b) if the answer is Yes to the above question, then I chose the right type of ssd pcie compatible for my AW 15r2?

(c) if there are other SSD pcie brand please give me your entries (cheaper)

FYI, I'm currently located in Thailand.

Peace!

  • Location of the Alienware 17 SSD drive?

    I own an Alienware 17 that I bought in January this year.  It came with an SSD of 256 MB.  That I found woefully inadequate for my purposes.  I'm at the clean temporary files every day so that I do not fill the drive.  I bought a new 1 TB Samsung SATA III SSD, but I can't find where the current SSD is installed.  There are two ports for HDD1 and HDD2 which are easily accessible.  I've added two 1 TB drives to these two, but I have no idea where the SSD is without tearing the laptop all out to find.  I watched the reference owners manual and there IS NO remove OR replace the SSD drive?

  • Satellite A200 - upgarde to SSD (Solid State Drive)

    Hi all

    I have an A200-PSAFCT-01P00N, and I bought an SSD (Plextor M3 128 GB sata3) yestarday.

    When I change my drive to SSD (Hitach 120 GB at 5400 RPM) HDD, BIOS cannot detect the SSD of anyway, even if I update the version of the BIOS.

    Could someone give me a hand?
    Thank you very much.

    In my opinion, you can't do anything on this subject and you can not force the BIOS to recognize the new SSD.
    There is certainly a problem of compatibility.

    Build the standard SATA HDD and all will be OK again.

    Your SSD have lost files due to the power failure system sudden. I suggest you run CHKDSK to fix this error. Also remember, if the data stored in your SSD are important to you, then first the software of raw data as WDR pro of stellar phoenix recovery and then apply diagnoses to repair.

  • W530 Quadro K2000m and Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi all

    I have a W530 with i7, interal Q K2000m, 32 GB of ram and 3 disks (ssd, 2 hgst 1msata 7 k 1000 1 TB in the other two bays). I don't know if I have a problem or not, but:

    (1) the CUDA acceleration is enabled. So we are OK in the present.

    (2) when I put together a few clips together, although the rendering is yellow, after a few seconds, the videos start to get restless. So, I wondered how this because I'm only editing a 720 p timeline and I have not filed anything yet. Just deforms stabilizer on some clips and some of them (given that I photographed at 60 p) are slowed to 24 p.

    (3) when I run GPU - Z, I see only a GPU from 8 to 15% charge rate.

    (4) because I can't reverse time and stabilize at the same time, I've stabilized a clip on another sequence and then nested this sequence in my main sequence. Now, when I reverse this nested sequence... I get a blank screen UNLESS I have kill hardware acceleration and switch to CPU only (this seems to be a problem of Premiere Pro)

    (5) I did everything possible to make sure that the Quadro card worked. I turned all "(Performance NVIDIA graphics) in the NVIDIA Control Panel." I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers before yesterday. I even flashed my BIOS to the latest downloadable from Lenovo's System Update.

    Am I missing something? Or is the card just underclocked and underfed on purpose? Why can he not run more than 15% of the load when the clips are jerky during playback?

    You may have noticed I'm a little frustrated... but hey... I love the machine, so I hope I'm missing something I can put in place for any good conduct again.

    Thanks a lot for all ideas, advice.

    PS: All the captured elements are in the 1st HDD on the main Bay and the scratch/preview disc is the 2nd HARD disk on the CD player. First runs from mSATA SSD (Plextor M5M 256 GB)

    Ok...

    So, I went to 'the' extreme and uninstalled first, re-installed and reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers (latest of the NVIDIA site) with the 'clean install' checked box and now everything works as it should.

    That being said, still have a bug and it has to do with Premiere Pro:

    Sometimes, the first 'game' of a sequence may not be smooth. If you have one of these situations, the first clip on your sequence can be a bit choppy, the second get choppier and when you hit the third or the fourth, continuous playback sound but stop visuals.

    All you have to do is drag the needle at the beginning, or anywhere where you want to start playback and play again. Fluid reading happens.

    So my card made no effort (~ 15-20%) on the yellow line clips (those who do not need to be "rendered") and it can ALSO play smoothly on excerpts from the red line (those who, ideally, should be made for smooth playback) that being said, I managed to get the card work until 65% by putting more effects in the clamps. It would seem that the card can be slightly under-utilized (perhaps... and maybe it's a first thing) because the thing 'first play choppy playback'.

    I saw a video comparison between the first and Sony Vegas... Vegas seems to be better optimized, then maybe I'd be looking to move to in the future. With Lightroom as another experience that I have, it would seem that some software Adobe isn't taking advantage of all the resources available to it. Capture One, on the other hand, really good.

    ALSO, as a final note, my BIOS is on Optimus, and I see no difference between it ON and OFF...? ...

    As a final note, I really appreciate the 530... not least because of the possibility to have the 3 internal drives but also the screen that I have installed in it (B156HW01 v7) which, like the V4, generoud AdobeRGB coverage and can match almost my NEC monitor. Until some new jobs come with screens with this color gamut coverage, I can't feel very tempted to spend.

  • Computer performance are slow and unresponsive in the middle of the running applications

    Original title: Volsnap error, VSS, registry handle leaks, the drivers won't load is not etc.

    Little by little over the last few months, my computer has been slowing down, suddenly "not responding" in the middle of a program and a few other oddities.  I can't identify when this started because he was progressive.  I had to replace an old drive SSD C and when I did, I also bought a new copy of Windows 7 Prof 64 bit SP1.  Drive C is now SATA 6.

    Specs are adequate, CPU i7 930, 16 GB ram, 2 7200 1 TB WD drives each, 1 WD 'green' 2.5 SATA 6 GB, an Intel SSD SATA2 M225 and a Corsair Force SATA 6, which is the 'new' drive C.

    Hello
    The three files that does not loaded at startup proved a Paragon backup facility that I had deleted.  I found in the registry and is more had this error.

    Slow and sudden episodes of "not responding" continues in safe mode, safe mode with network and boot.

    Mr. Fixit noted that I had too many programs loaded on startup that I already knew and will work hard to stop.  It has been useful in this gave me a list of the programs that did not need to start.  Some of this list was a distant base such that suggests my AV does not need to start, but some of it was useful.

    I then started to keep track of programs that seemed more likely to slow down or freeze the machine.  I reduced to one of my drives 3 1/2 inch WD 7200 and my 25 M Intel SSD.

    I ran Intel SSD toolbox and it showed no errors and no updates.  Estimated of life was about 95% and I had the car for 2 years.  There is an option to click that says "SSD Optimizer", and I suspect it is similar to a manual pad because it is one of their first records.  I "optimized" and it was immediately faster.  Intel said to do once a week or two and I never did.

    I ran HD Tune Pro on the WD and it showed a bad CRC so that a warning on the drive, which is less than a year. HD air said the drive is bad OR a cable is bad.  I had a backup, Acronis Disk which took most of the data and I also had the cloud with versioning backup.

    Knowing that the food had been replaced by a technician who had twisted power cables, because most of the readers had been asked in reverse, I attacked this first.  I turned every drive so that the connection of the power supply has been on the same side and reconnect the cable after doing my best to straighten out and flatten the wire.  I then installed a new SATA cable on the WD drive in question.

    Then, wanting to be done with it once and for all and ensuring that I could save between Acronis and my backup of cloud, I used the command line in Administrator, then to Drive E tools mode, error checking.  I ticked the boxes: analyze and attempt to recover bad sectors and automatically fix file system errors.  A reboot and the process had started.

    When you are finished, I seemed to have a catchy machine and some of the programs which often hung, is done in two days.  Programs were pretty much intact, but most of the files had been erased from the disk.  I have restored all wiped files and files of Acronis and the cloud and everything seems to work perfectly.

    Unable to help me, I ran HD Tune Pro and made a mistake (not fast) full scan on the E drive.  She came back without error.

    I know that this drive can fail again, and above all, I couldn't have been this aggressive if I had not had 2 backups.

    Do you think it will fail again?  I decided that, if so, I'll get another SSD (or two) to replace.  Although it will cost you much, I fear that hard drives are not very well made and I don't want to go through this again - and maybe not be so lucky.

    Thanks for your help and I'll post again if it fails in the near future.  Someone knows something about the new SSD Plextor?  Or would you go with Samsung?

    Thanks again.

    We try to do the Plextor P6e working with S30 as boot drive. For now - no luck. Playing with different settings of BIOS S30 - not made no difference. This PCI Express SSD drive is bootable, without driver, with a clean ROM with AHCI implemented. Logo of ROM shows same at startup. However, it seems that S30 does not know what to do with it. SSD itself supports UEFI boot and legacy.

    If the Windows installation (7) is started from DVD, he sees SSDS as 'disc', but it cannot be partiitioned and there is a message, windows cannot be installed on it, since it cannot be boot drive. We have cloned the SSD HARD drive Windows installation; S30 doesn't recognize it, then will not start.

    Can anyone help?

    P.S., Plextor itself is not a problem, works well with many other computers, even with Lenovo M91p...

    Edit - Update: option Legacy - no go, UEFI - install windows on a SSD OK (GPT partition), but freezes or bluescreens when WIndows loads...

    Quick update:

  • Alienware 15 R3 2016 m2 2280 SSD

    Hello

    I am considering buying an Alienware 15 R3 (new version of 2016), with pre-installed Windows 10 Pro. The version I'm looking at has a 256 GB SSD more 1 TB HARD drive. I know that the 2015 R2 version supports replacing the internal SSD by a new m2 2280 SSD, but I don't know about the version R3 2016. I have a few questions:

    (1) can I get the 256 GB SSD and replace it with an another m2 SSD NVMe based SSD (most likely the Samsung 960 Pro 2 to).

    (2) as the SSD that comes with the laptop will be the BONES and other drivers, what is the best way to reinstall it on the replacement of 2 TB SSD whenever I swap discs on?

    (3) 2016 R3 supports is?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    (1) Yes, you can.

    (2) you can clone the drive or just do a manual installation.

    (3) it does.

    The R3 has 2 slots for readers of m2 in height, you could take advantage of that for the cloning process.
