Compatibility with R61i SSD

Hello Lenovo Support Forum,

Can you please confirm that the next SSD will work with a R61i?

SSD drives have significantly better than hard drives access time, and they tend to be much more vivid, even with an SATA I limitation in place.

  • Portege R500 - compatibility with Intel SSD 320 160 GB

    I installed an Intel 320 160 GB SSD in my Portege R500 (PPR50E).
    However, the BIOS does not detect the new drive. I updated the BIOS to the 1.60WIN version, the most recent that I found, but the drive is still not detected.

    Is there a possible solution? Or I need to take the drive?
    Thanks for any help

    It must be a problem of compatibility so I don't think you can force Portege to recognize this SSD.

  • Compatibility of the SSD with MBP

    I was advised to upgrade my MacBook Pro to replace my hard drive with an SSD. (Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB)

    The results were great. But after a few weeks, the computer would suddenly stop and restart. Initially, it was casual; last week, it happened several times throughout the day.

    Best Buy or Samsung would give me the time of day. I had owned the player for about 6 weeks. Tired, I bought another identical yesterday disc [never forget the madness of this decision!]. Today the computer just closed and restarted.

    Is there a problem of compatibility here?  Could someone suggest probable cause?  The original never hard disk once done this.

    Thank you.

    MBP 15 "mid-2010

    Intel Core i5 to 2.53 GHz

    Remove the SSD, install it in an enclosure, plug it into the MBP via USB and see if it will start the MBP externally (key OPTION key at startup).

    If so, the internal SATA cable is the main suspect.  Replace it.  This is common with SSDS in Mbps.

    If no success, run an Apple Hardware Test:

    Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

  • I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

    This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

    Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.

  • Increase the performance of MAC with the SSD upgrade

    I have a 21.5-inch iMac model 14.1 (end 2013) with 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB drive. On this, I use some applications in memory such as Adobe CS 5.5 and VMWare Fusion 8.1.1. I have Applecare on the machine until September 2017. I often find myself running out of memory. My goto solution would be to increase the memory and replace the hard drive with an SSD. I fear, however, that this cancels my Applecare. My research indicates that while that frowned upon, I can upgrade my memory and keep my Applecare as long as it is done by an authorized by Apple, but if I do the SSD I'm out of luck for the installed components. My thought is that I can get an external SSD and move the ' WIndows 10' VM (s), as well as expand and move the swapfiles for the SSD system.»

    My questions are am I right about the Applecare and warranty and I plan to use an external SSD to accelerate performance and ease the work of memory constraints?

    I have a Macbook Air in 2010 and also a 2008 iMac - both with only 4 GB of memory (you have twice as much), both running El Capitan and the two with SSD - and perform very well. The 2008 iMac used to have a rotating disc which has recently failed, with the replacement of SSD, it is a remarkable transformation with the new SSD, it seems very quickly for me. Both have Photoshop CS4, which is not used much more, but they run this software very well, as well as MS Office 2011 and other programs such as Mail, Safari, Firefox, etc. (Firefox + Photoshop together put a noticeable load on machines, in fact, but while I sometimes hear the fans come on the Macbook Air, it maintains not up very well) No slowdown) You'll be in great shape with a SSD for your newer computer. These old machines that I use have Core 2 Duo CPUs, chips relatively slow, but they seem very quickly with the SSD.

    You will need to check with Apple directly on your AppleCare and so that would be affected. I don't know that anyone is not Apple should trust this question.

    I upgraded my Early 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro using a SSD Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB and I've seen a dramatic speed increase.

    Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD for Mac OS extended (journaled) and a GUID partition.

    Then, use a third party application like Carbon Copy Cloner Carbon Copy Cloner (not free, but worth the price) or Super Duper to copy all data from the HARD drive internal as well as the recovery partition.

    They have good tools to find compatible parts for your Mac models.  The OWC took is here

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

    OWC tends to have the most detailed information on the Mac.  If I look to the top of the part to OWC and review specifications.  OWC offers often information based on the Mac-specific tests.  If Crucial offer something similar for a substantially lower price, buy it from Crucial.  I'm sure they have a refund is not political, if a part they say is compatible.  I bought the RAM and SSD both Crucial and OWC.  From my experience, be it high quality.

    For the 2010 iMac, OWC also offers a "kit" (with the tools and support) to replace the hard drive of 3.5 inches with a 2.5-inch SSD.  Eventually, if it's a 27-inch iMac, I think that you can Add the SSD instead of replace the hard drive.  And they have self-produced how-to videos on the process, related to many of their lists of products.  OWC provides a lot of information with added value and service for Mac users.

    OWC also offers kits to replace the optical drive on some Macs (including MacBooks) with an SSD (as a secondary internal drive).

  • The MBP 13 "with an SSD upgrade

    I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro 13 "(fin 2011)." I want to remove the optical drive and replace it with the SSD. The problem is that my hard drive is almost 400 GB occupied out of 500 GB. The budget SSD will be the 250 GB. How should I proceed in this case, I want the OS can be completely copied into the SSD and the rest of the things in the hard drive. Have I not clone entire hard drive SSD or copy only the operating system work? Applications work if they are in the hard drive and operating system is in SSD.

    Usually in the facilities of double disc such as you plan, the DSS should have the OSX installed on it and find where the current HARD drive.  The HARD drive is then placed in the location of the DVD player.  But the final choice is always yours.

    Back up your data on an external HARD drive.

    Because the SSD will not have the capacity to hold all of your data, I recommend that you format the SSD drive, install the OSX and install it in the MBP.

    Then you have some decisions to make.  What data do you want on the SSD and what data to remain on the HARD disk in the location of DVD?  From inside connectivity is much faster than USB (unless you have a connection available Thunderbolt), I would setup the backup disk in the DVD drive and data location 'drag & drop' for the SSD.

    Depending on the capacity/performance of the HARD drive and HARD drive backup, you can keep them where they are or trade.  If keep you them where they are, clear the outboard/back up in the car and the two internal drives to backup.  If change you disks, clone the drive that now is outboard to the internal HARD drive (it has all of your data and the top OSX) and then erase the drive HARD outside and safeguarding the two internal drives for it.

    Life would be simpler if you can afford a 500 GB SSD.

    Ciao.

  • Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.
