B580 mSATA

Hello community, simply subscribe to the Forum.

A week ago, I bought a laptop B580 with i-5, 1 TB, 4 GB and added 4 GB and a 60 GB mSATA.

It has been configured with Windows 8 and only a large partition to use. The other hidden parttitions belongs to Win8 and LENOVO.

First of all, I had to repartition the disk: using a SW to Win8 installation on an external backup drive (size was approx. 20 GB), with the same tool, I deleted the installation and set up the new partitions as my standards of House (4). Then I restored the Win 8 installation and did an upgrade for Win8 Prof. those were simpler tasks.

I had a lot of problems that I tried to install SW using the mSATA drive for acceleration, I spent almost two days to search for the appropriate drivers on the drivers LENOVO B580 and Win8 site, but none of the available drivers working not (h4iv07ww.exe).

Even the BIOS did not show the mSATA drive.

The function of the mSATA Fund, I removed the hard drive, installled Win8 Pro for the mSATA. He very quickly worked an expected. Setting back the hard drive of the laptop worked only with the 1 GB drive. Sometimes I could boot from the drive mSATA (F12), but this isn't what I love to do - it saves no time at the start!

Is there a LENOVO expert who could help? Lenovo support on phone was not able to help.

Hello neokenchi,

as announced, I installed Win7 pro. After updating all the drivers all works well. It took appr. four hours, no more problems with eSATA and acceleration.

I also got rid of annoying Apps and more garbage LENOVO Add ons for Windows 8.

I could only give a hint to people having problems with Win8. The best you can do is to downgrade to Win7, but be careful, that Microsoft allows him only to Win8 pro!

    Hi all

    is write anything there that can guide me.
    How. identifies it? (Excuse my English)

    Tecra S5 is an old series laptop and I don t think that this series is supported by the mSATA interface.
    I guess you mixed up of this interface with the PCI mini (for BT, WLan or Modem module) slot which can be available on the motherboard.

  • Portege R930: replace card mSata with SSD

    Hello

    I wanted to replace the 128 GB hard drive in my laptop. I bought a 256 GB SSD and read the User Guide.
    I don't see anything about the replacement of disc inside.
    When I open the PC, I discovered that there was an mSata card.
    Is it possible to replace a card with an SSD mSata?
    There is a small connector but I don't know I'll have to buy a new one (what kind of connector?).
    More important still there no information in the Guide of the user on this whole process.
    Is there someone doing this?

    Kind regards.

    I think you need to get the drive replaced by a 2.5 cable cable ".
    If the player is not in good physical shape, you may need to get the other parts replaced as well.

    This may be a better idea to return the SSD and buy an mSATA SSD instead.

  • Portege R930 - upgrade the mSATA SSD succssfull

    Just briefly, I wanted to report an SSD upgrade.

    When I got my Portege R930 (PT331E, i7) two years ago, I changed the HD to a PRO 840 Samsung SSD 512 GB (big improvement). Now, this SSD is too small (photos!) and I wanted to increase the capacity up to 1 TB.

    But instead of a new SATA, I decided to go for an mSATA + adapter SATA I felt an mSATA unit would be more "evolutionary" - next update of the laptop for me would be a Portege Z, who use mSATA.

    So I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB with a Delock adapter/converter mSATA SSD, made a clone of the Apricorn cable and the software switched the SSD and everything works fine (actually a little faster )! At first I tried to use the clone with software from Samsungs migration but this didn t work, maybe I didn t the right version.

    -Now I have a lager SSD that will live longer than my R930. Please note that I'm not an expert with computers - just a happy user Toshiba! Thanks for a good forum with my good ideas!

    Concerning
    / Anders

    So, I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 1 TB whole with a converter/adapter Delock...
    .. .and everything works fine

    Good news Lao!
    Thanks a lot for the comments...

    I also upgraded my laptop with a 250 GB SSD drive and now I think of a larger SSD... I should consider your solution now...

  • mSATA SSD + 2.5 "HD on Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p

    Hello

    soon I'll be getting a laptop Toshiba Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p, reference PT45GE-06S03F7J, it comes with a 250GB SSD mSATA. I want to know if it is possible to install a second hard disk 2.5 "additional or I have to choose between having a regular vs 2.5 mSATA SSD" HD.

    Thank you.

    Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA SSD instead of a hard drive.
    But there is only one place to connect the hard drive SSD SSD/HDD or mSATA.

    In the case of mSATA SSD drive, there is a special mSATA HOLDER that lets connect you the mSATA SSD to a 2.5 SATA controller ".

  • Tecra Z50 - mSATA SDS + 2.5 "HDD?

    Hallo!

    I've seen in a Youtube video, that the SSD that come as standard are mSATA those and that there is space for a 2.5 drive "under.

    So my question is: if I buy a Toshiba Tecra Z50-A-12R, which comes with a 500 GB HARD drive, can I install an additional mSATA SSD as my system disk and using the 500 GB HARD drive as a second drive?

    Thank you
    Martin

    Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of one
    hard disk drive. The computer seems to supports a 128 GB and 512 GB disk SSD 256Go

    but as far as I know there is only a single SATA controller to connect a HARD drive or SSD.
    The mSATA SSD drive is connected to the controller using mSATA HOLDER ASSY.

    So this cpl carrier is necessary if you want to use an mSATA SSD.
    Of course, you n t need if you use common disk 2.5 SSD or HDD 2.5

    I can't say with certainty if this mini PCI module would be compatible.

  • Tecra R840 mSata SSD installation in module 3G position

    Hello
    I have a Tecra R840-110 model, there is also a 3 G module inside, I would install the mSata SSD pcie slot.
    Is possible to use the mSata SSD instead of module 3 G pcie slot?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I think that something like this is not possible. Card mother ports are not a kind of flexible ports.
    In the past, that Toshiba gave the second HARD drive, upgrade instead of the optical drive using special adapter.

  • Satellite A210-248 does not recognize the 840 ECO mSATA SSD

    I want to build in my Satellite A210-248 on the port of msata ssd.

    When I build in the ssd bios dind't find the ssd, so I can't install windows in the ssd

    Hello

    Satellite A210 does not support port mSATA and therefore the mSATA SSD module cannot be used.
    Probably, you have found a mini-PCI on the motherboard slot. It certainly looks like mSATA but its not the same thing.

  • 23 - d254er envy: mSATA SSD on PC AiO

    Hello!

    I kinda want to improve my PC HP ENVY 23 AiO AiO computer Touchsmart (p/n: 23-d254er).

    Is this PC AiO support mSATA Samsung 850 EVO SSD disk Samsung MZ-M5E250BW ?

    I found a free location of MINI_CARD2 on the motherboard (see photo of atteched).

    I don't buy or not this SSD.

    Thank you!

    Hi there @iliyas1985,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  I understand that you are looking for help for a potential installation of SSD.   I'm happy to help you with this.

    Looking at HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, IPISB-NK (Lavaca3-SB)for your system, it has the following internal expansion slots:

    Two PCI Express mini card Sockets (generation 2 speed)
    A PCI Express MXM slot that takes care of a PCI Express x 16 graphics card (generation 2 speed)

    So if you find an SSD, which is compatible with those you can try to use it, but it's never a guarantee that both devices will work together.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • Satellite U400 - 12 p and mSATA SSD

    I have the Satellite U400 - 12 p.
    The motherboard has two free slots miniPCI if they install mSATA SSD OCZ AC Nocti - MSATA - 120G, for example in these slots?

    I agree with Akuma. Satellite U400 is old enough laptop model and its standard SATA port, you cannot use reader with connector mSATA (mini-SATA).
    the mSATA discs are smaller and designed for use on the netboos and ultraportable notebooks.

  • Ultrabook Envy6-1100sl: install a 2nd OS on the msata SSD - Envy6-1100sl

    Hi, I upgraded my envy6 with 16 GB Crucial RAM and 500 GB samsung SSD evo. After upgrade, I did a clean install of windows 10 and stopped to use the itegrated msata ssd. My question is:
    Can I install a second operating system on the msata ssd? Can this bios read the second OS on the msata? Is there a procedure to follow?
    Thank you

    Thanks for suggesting it, but I've created a simple way... I just installed the second OS on the msata. At startup the sistem starts automatically on my main drive (500 GB win10), but if I press F9 when starting, I can see my linux on second drive (32 GB msata) and just choose to start when I need.
    Don't need to grub or similar just manual choice, and that's what I wanted!

  • Fresh install of Windows 7 on Portege Z830-10R with new mSata SSD

    I have Toshiba Portege Z830-10r and you want to reinstall Windows 7 costs on mSata new SSD.

    The problem is, * Windows does not recognize the device and wants additional drivers.*

    The 120 GB SSD Kingston is visible in the BIOS, updated automatically in AHCI mode (no option to change).
    How to fix?

    > The 120 GB SSD Kingston is seen in the BIOS.
    Where did you see the SSD in BIOS?
    If it is stated on the first page of the BIOS, including the name of readers and other details such as the size of the SSD?
    If the SSD drive is recognized properly, there must be another question, why the system requires drivers.

    I m wondering what camera you used to install Windows 7.
    Boot you from external CD/DVD USB drive or did you use the USB flash memory key to install the Win 7 OS?

    The point why I m asking is one of the key flash memory forum members used USB to reinstall the Win 7 OS on the same model of laptop, and it was not possible because the USB flash memory stick has been connected to the USB 3.0 port.

    In case you have also connected the device to the USB 3.0, please try other * USB 2.0 port reinstall the system!
