Creating Rapiddrive Y570

I have an i5-2430 Y570 with a slow hard disk of 500 GB at 5400 RPM. I am looking to improve my performance of HDD, so I thought to change for the SSD, but it is too expensive for similar capacity and change to a 7200 RPM drive will give a significant boost I think.

So I thought to add mSata SSD to create a rapiddrive, but after searching the forums and internet, I have not found any information on how I can do it myself.

The question is:

(a) be mSata of any manufacturer 32 GB to 64 GB SSD to adapt?

(b) I need to reinstall windows? If so, it's somehow special?

(c) will be my computer laptop support rapiddrive as was the factory without ssd?

Any help is appreciated )

I bought and installed 128 GB crucial m4 msata ssd in my y570 recently, and it works like charm. About rapiddrive - didn't install it, I simply cloned my C partition to ssd (it contains files of program and installation of windows, while the games & media files are still stored on the hard drive). I don't think rapiddrive is really necessary because even 64 GB is usually sufficient to store your OS & programs (excluding games, of course), so a start & responsiveness of the OS would be great, and you do not usually need storing media or games on the SSD, IMO you can do without rapiddrive.
Also, I recommend you to clone windows by creating the restore image with windows restore tool.

  • I'll be able to use my computer if I uninstall Rapiddrive?

    Hello

    I just bought a Lenovo Y570 with a 64 GB SSD and Rapiddrive drivers on this subject. However, I'm trying to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7, and Rapiddrive gave me a lot of grief. I plan to separate my SSD and HDD with Rapiddrive to facilitate my Ubuntu installation process, but I want to know if this will impact my computer somehow. I'm ready to reinstall Windows and do it only on the SSD, if that's what it takes, but I only have the recovery media that I made myself (Lenovo ship installation disc) and I don't know if I can do it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

  • Node of automation is much more difficult to 'uncheck' than to 'create '.

    I use logical X about 5 months now, and I felt a fairly frustrating relationship with interaction of automation.  When I load automation, 'creation' of a knot of automation is simple... 1. click anywhere along the yellow line creates a node that is precisely where I clicked.  However, "popping/unclicking/destroy" this same node takes anywhere from 3 to 6 clicks to work.  I would love to be able to uncheck these nodes with the same exact ease with which I am able to create.  No relief in this case would be great!  Thank you

    Double click on the node to remove it... as simple as when it was created...   Click to create, double-click Delete.

  • Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

    My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

    My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

    Any advice?

    Thank you!

    Apple have this to do a USB installation...

    Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

    Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

    You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

    Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

    Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    On macOS recovery - Apple Support

    Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

    I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

    You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

    OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

    A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

  • ITunes can add images to mp3 created from vinyl record?

    I created on a 1000 mp3 files (320 bps, 441hz) of the vinyl record.  Obviously, I can manually create images of these files individually but will take a while, so I was wondering if iTunes can automatically create.  I tried to select all the images in the library by getting album artwork, but it tells me the following statement just ' get album artwork requires you to connect to the iTunes Store using an identifier to Apple. " Please go to the iTunes Store and log in or create a new Apple ID. "I connected to itunes and he always tells me the same thing. Could someone point me in the right direction?  My files are saved on my mac.  Thank you very much

    Yes, you can manually add a picture as the cover to any MP3 song in your iTunes library.  Source of origin has no importance.

    The other issue is separate.  In current iTunes, go to the iTunes menu bar, and then click accounts.  The menu drops down.  At the top of the menu, if you are connected currently, your name and your Apple ID are displayed.  Do you see that?

    If you are connected (and you see your name and your Apple ID), the menu bar

    File-> library-> Get Album Artwork

    You don't need to have whatever it is selected in your library.  iTunes tries to get lack of the album artwork for songs in your library.  iTunes only 'creates' images.  iTunes album art search resource online, based on data from song and download all that is available and adds songs album art.  One (or more) songs will not match available album art.

  • IMac, how to stop the white icon files when creating new folders?

    Whenever I create a new folder, the folder contains these white icon files that end up getting deleted. Is there a way to prevent this?

    Thank you

    If you create a new folder with the Finder, there is no hierarchy, you get a single empty, empty folder icon, if you create a new folder in the Terminal with the following syntax blue, there is hierarchy.

    # Do the new folder has with B folder it contains. And C in B and D in C files.

    $ mkdir Pei A, B, C, D

    # Just make folder a.

    $ mkdir A

    Are you using a utility Finder replacement, or creating folders from an application or a script?
