• Samsung 850 EVO Trimforce

  Hi, I recently installed a samsung 850 EVO my end 2011 MacBook Pro and I have read the weather or not, it is safe to turn on third-party SSD trimforce. But I couldn't find a solid answer anywhere. I also learned that there may be a bug in data loss with the Samsung models, but I'm not sure that this is true.

  You will get different views about the FILLING. Personally, I don't use the TRIM on 3rd party SSD. I do not quite written deserve its usefulness. So, I leave the built-in SSD Garbage Collection performance of the drive. That being said, I don't know of friends who have enabled on their Samsung 850 EVO SSD of TRIM and have not experienced any problems with corruption data.

  It's yours if you want to activate the TRIM on your Samsung.

• Samsung 850 EVO and TRIM?

  Dear friends,

  Yesterday, I installed a brand new SAMSUNG 850 EVO SSD (120 GB) on my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) and I want to know now I should activate TRIM and is it safe under the OS X EL CAPITAN!

  Once again his SAMSUNG 850 EVO (120 gb, basic version non pro), MacBook Pro (mid-2012) and OS X EL CAPITAN!

  Thanks for the reply.

  Hi, you can activate the trim after you have backed up your important things. I enabled it and don't have any problem and better see the SSD performance, but some of my friends in the face of a gray screen at startup upward.

  Also, I can say that you will not have problem as long as Apple allow you to do something on your Mac

• Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive works only with the MacBook Pro - Solution?

  I recently bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB Solid State Drive for mid 2012 MacBook Pro father. The computer was working properly, but it was just very slow. I took the old drive and installed the SSD. I took it to an Apple store so that they could install the OS. A guy at the Genius Bar met with me and first tried to install the OS via the Ethernet cable. It is impossible to install some general error. He then tried to install it on a disc. Which also failed. He said he was not familiar with the type of error that he saw. But he said it was a mistake 'bad '. He said he saw the SSD for my SATA cable worked. He concluded that the reader must be defective. I explained how it is virtually impossible because they have a rate of close to zero. He said: "well they are produced en masse" and explained how they could install a hard drive themselves for some too expensive price. A bit annoying.

  In any case, I took the SSD back to my house and threw it in my desktop PC. It works very well. Then what should I do? Why am I not able to get the SSD to install it? From what I read, the Samsung 850 EVO should be compatible with a MacBook Pro 2012. Can I do to install it at home? Is that all I can say people at the Mac store to help them along?

  Most likely, the drive is formatted for use with Windows computers. First step would be to format correctly for Macs.

  This is Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition map.

  OS X will only be installed on a properly formatted disk.

• Dell Latitude e5440 - Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD not recognized

  I bought a new 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD for my Dell Latitude e5440 (running Windows 7 Pro).  The new player was not visible in 'Computer', so I downloaded, installed and ran the software Samsung magician.

  Samsung software shows that the drive is present.  And there is a button "Validate" - I clicked on - and now: ' Drive Health Status: Good ' and ' serial number: true "appears.

  However, the SSD is not visible when I double-click on computer and the Samsung software States:

  a. "AHCI Mode. Disabled (IDE or RAID).  AHCI mode is necessary for the best performance of the SSD. »

  b. SATA Interface s. o. cannot detect SATA interface details.

  c. s. o. OS OS optimization is supported only for disks using an operating system drive.

  Question 1: Activation of this AHCI mode will allow Windows to recognize the SSD?

  Question 2: How do I?

  Question 3: Activate the AHCI mode "switch off" (logout) my HDD 2.5 "?  (I want to keep Windows 7 to 2.5 "HARD disk and install Windows 10 on the SSD to have a dual boot system, until I got used to Windows 10).

  Inside of your battery compartment is a label with your license key Windows 7 OEM on it.  Photograph it.

  Download and prepare a USB key with a copy of Windows 10 TH2 Pro.

  Remove the disk 2.5 "and connect the new drive mSATA.

  Boot the system to the USB key.  10 Windows Installer should be of the presence of the DSS and will allow you to do the installation of Windows 10 - which in turn is almost certainly going to install the network driver suitable for your system without the need to add anything else.

  USE your 7 product key when prompted and you should be all set.

  Once this is done, you can reconnect the disk 2.5 "If you want to do - but remember that 10 installation is done separately from the 2.5 disk".

  The panic occurred because the queue of the AHCI is truncated. Thus all things SATA are immediately suspect.

  These extensions on the "scene of the crime" are used ordinary ACHI drivers for SATA drive.

  In your added kernel extensions, you have an additional driver for RocketRAID. If possible, you should remove only while debugging this problem. It was not explicitly on the "crime scene", but it may have made changes that caused the instability.

  In addition, readers could be involved in this problem, as a failed drive can spray data in the wrong section of memory, rewrite of things.

• Pavilion DV6215us: Pavilion DV6215us and upgrade to SSD Samsung 850 EVO does not.

  Pavilion DV6215us is SSD Samsung 850 EVO compatible? I cloned the original Hitachi hard drive and everything was going well. I have installed the Samsung and porwered upwards. The answer is only pushed Esc to get to settings that meets never or boots.  Given that the new drive to adapt very well and everything seemed fine before installing it is there any reason this SSD shouldn't work?  Y at - it info on SSD drives will work with the laptop?  Thank you

  Yes the DV6000 by DV6499 series with AMD processor is not able to support an SSD. The storage controller uses a SATA interface, but it is 'false' SATA running on a legacy IDE bus. No ahci, which is necessary for the operation of the SSD. That's why we put Windows XP on them without any special driver tips during installation.

• Slow writes PERC H700 and Samsung 850 PRO SSD

  I saw several posts about this, but don't see a solution.

  I have a few servers R710 with H700 controllers. I have installed Samsung 1 TB SSD Pro 850 and see writing very slow compared to other performance SSD tested in one box, simply slow in general. SAMSUNG SSD are ~ 500 MB/s in both sense when connected to the stand-alone desktop computer, but ~ 500 MB/s read and ~ 45 MB/s, writes when it is connected to a server.

  1. 1 x SSD in RAID 0 - no redundancy, just to test the performance. I tried all combinations of memory cache writeback and read before possible setting (enabled, disabled) and has never had more than ~ 45 MB/s, writing.

  2. 6 x SSD in RAID 5 with all possible combinations of never getting write cache over ~ 110 MB/s, writing.

  3. 6 x SSD in RAID 10 yet one time all possible settings of the writeback cache - ~ 140 MB/s.

  Finally, I installed 120 GB Intel SSD and got more than 400 Mbps in both directions without worrying about the RAID or cached.

  What is the problem with the H700 and Samsung SSD controllers? No one knows how to fix?

  Any other R710 compatible controller, which do not have this problem? Might be able, JBOD? I also tried a stop the controller PCIe Board without a bit of luck (bottom of basket or any compatibility issues)

  Thanks in advance.

  P. S.

  The controller is a latest firmware and the BIOS and other components. Used Dell Repository Manager iDRAC discovery and the ISO bootable to update everything.

  SAMSUNG SSD are on a latest firmware as well.

  Hello.

  The Samsung 850 Pro SSD are not validated or certified to work with controllers from Dell, and as such, there is an incompatibility of communication between readers and the controller at the firmware level. Thus, you are required to achieve the unexpected poor read and write performance regardless of the controller cache settings. Consider using Dell certified readers.

  Thank you.

• Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower - for SSD Samsung 850 Evo BIOS settings

  Hi - I am looking to replace the HARD drive in my Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower with a Samsung SSD of 850 EVO.  I am running the BIOS 1.0.16 and do not see the option AHCI, RAID or IDE only.  Should what BIOS settings I use to optimize the performance of an SSD benefits?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  I could get my SSD working under RAID (10 Windows) with the following steps (which some may not be necessary).

  1. MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable 9 CD to clone a copy of the existing for the Samsung SSD HDD (Samsung data migration tool did not acknowledge the Samsung SSD on Windows 10, even though Device Manager it identified as such).  It took nearly 36 hours to clone froma 160 GB 250 GB HDD to the SSD.
  2. Replace HDD with SSD and it started / worked as an IDE drive.  TRIM has been activated and works.
  3. Apply the hotfix to the register noted in the first post of this thread (it may or may not be necessary):
     1. http://forums.HEXUS.NET/motherboards/112584-how-enable-AHCI-RAID-mode-without-reinstalling-Windows-P35-ICH9-ICH9R.html
  4. Downloaded the Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.5.0.1017 A00 (which is appropriate for the Vostro 200 Slim Tower) from the Dell Web site and run the extracted exe file on the disk.
  5. Opens the folder where the drivers have been extracted and made a right click > install iaahci.inf and iastor.inf files.
  6. Restarted the PC, went into the BIOS and changed the IDE in RAID mode.
  7. When the system is booted, I received the message "Inaccessible Boot Device", so I let the system automatically restarts, go through the automatic recovery/repair options, then follow the guests to launch the advanced Windows options recovery to start in safe mode.
  8. Once in safe mode, I opened the Device Manager, which now showed the following new features:
     1. Disc players
        1. SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO 500G
     2. Storage controllers
        1. Intel(r) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller
        2. Microsoft storage controller
  9. The system is then able to start and be used normally.
  10. There are still problems with the Samsung Wizard software, but it seems that it is a matter of Samsung.

  Hope this is useful to someone.

  Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx

  I bought a new Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB SSD and going on to replace the main HARD drive. Tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it using the USB bootable Win 7, it loads the installation and starts ok and then he asks to load the driver for any device and gives you an analysis of the option to see if there is any storage device to select for installation. It clearly shows that it does not pick up the SSD.

  Unfortunately the bios insydeh20 V3.5 has no possibility of even check if it is detected or so.

  What do you think is the problem? The BIOS update would solve this issue? or is there any other work around that.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Before I went ahead with the method you suggested, I tried updating the Bios with the latest version and voila... system picked up the SSD and all is well now.

  Thank you
