DELL XPS 2720

Hello DELL community!

I have a question about the all new XPS 27 PC AIO Haswell. There is the option (as the old model 2710) to set up the XPS specification with a 32 GB cache mSATA SSD and a 2 TB for storage HARD drive.

Is it possible to spend the mSATA SSD in an mSATA 256Go example and use it as system drive disk / boot for Windows? So can I turn off the RST in the Bios (from RAID on AHCI) and freshly install Windows? I'd not taken in charge of software preinstalled, I want just a much faster PC. I mean there are mSATA 450GB SSD on the market and it would be a shame, if this interface is reserved for caching? Who needs that at a time where the SSDS get cheaper.

Thank you very much in advance

See you soon

    Hi, so I just opened my Dell XPS 2720 for its cleaning regular dust and I noticed that there is a slot for a mini PCIE TV tuner card. Everyone manages to place and operate?

    What type of tuner TV you if ever? All minis maps I see come from AverMedia (and there are many models) so I was wondering what I should get if ever.

    Thank you!

    Don't bother since it is old technology and it is usually the poor image quality that requires a connection by cable or antenna. Watch TV moved to Internet now. You are all set to the top so that your Web browser. Your cable provider must have a program to look all that you subscribe to without a box or a cable connected to the computer.

    Salvation all of Spain, I had the same problem with my new XPS 2720. The eject led in the monitor has always been on and didn t work, didn t of ejection. At least in my case the problem started when I updated to DELL OS app to the latest version (007) available in the Dell download page drivers. I uninstalled the new version, reinstalled the earlier, 006, and the led has started working again as it should (lights only when a disc is pushed in and when the disc is ejected). I hope this helps you all.

  • Buyer beware - Dell XPS 2720 - Service questions feed

    I am the owner of 3 Dell XPS 27 "all in UNITS.  I have a 2710 and 2720 two.  Recently, one of my 2720's refused to start, so I place a call to service with Dell.  It turns out that food is shorted the motherboard, so the motherboard power AND must be replaced.  To this day and 15 days later, my $2,000 XPS system still does not.

    I had to take two days off for two separate service calls, that which Dell sent incorrect feeding.  After hours on the phone trying to settle this point and the technician on-site, take pictures of the question, I'm still without the use of this computer.

    For a device that is supposed to have weekday, Dell failed miserable on this repair.  Not to mention the overseas call centers are unnecessary and could care less how much time I had.

    I have been a loyal consumer of Dell for many years, it will be the LATEST Dell product I ever buy.  There is no place to raise this issue in my own country, and I was told not to contact Dell more because they "are working how to solve the problem.  It is totally unacceptable for such a large company.

    I'm having the same problem did you ever fix correctly and have you been able to do everything yourself easily?

  • Activation of Cache SSD 32 GB on XPS 2720

    I just got a Dell XPS 2720 of decision-making and it rocks so hard, except that I can't get the job of SSD cache and it is so annoying because I paid extra for it.

    So far:

    • I got the computer and clean installed 8.1 with RAID mode in BIOS.
    • Installed all the drivers and updates etc.
    • Open Intel Rapid Storage to enable Smart Response, but the acceleration tab is missing. Performance shows only a power management option.

    I tried to use diskpart to clean the SSD, initialize it in the MBR, GUID, creating a RAW partition, etc. and a ton of combinations of things in disk management, but I can't get TSRI give me this option of accelerating.

    Does anyone have some luck with this?

    Everyone seems to have a different story how to push the cover SSD RST at work, so here's mine:

    After a disk crash I had to reinstall Windows 8 and update to Windows 8.1. For some reason, I'm done with a recovery at the beginning and at the end of the disk partition. It seems that the option to accelerate the RST does not appear if the last partition is not the operating system.

    After I deleted the partition recovery with the diskpart utility (select the disc, select the partition, delete partition override) and the partition of the BONE at the end of the disc, the acceleration tab appeared and Smart Response works! If the error was not the mSATA SSD, but the structure of the partition on the disk to the operating system.

    So I guess that, if the OS partition is not the last partition on the disk, the Smart Response option will not be displayed. Intel should really document this better.

  • XPS 2720 - how to replace 32 GB SDD with the largest

    Hello

    I want to replace the current 32 GB SDD with a 256GB SDD. I don't know how many records the 2720 XPS can hold and what kind.

    -Can it accommodate a new SDS plus the drive HARD and SDS that are already there?  Alternatively, if I need to replace the current SDS? If Yes, should it be mSata or the computer can hold the two SATAs?  I'm looking at the Samsung 840 Pro 256.

    Ideally: HD 2 TB, 256 GB, 32 GB SDD SDS

    Good: 2 TB, 256 GB SDD

    Bad: Can't hold an another SATA

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Dell XPS 2720 can be configured with 32 GB, 64 GB or 256 GB mSATA car and 3.5-inch SATA 3.0 HDD capacity of 1 to 4 to.

    You can probably run, but you will need to provide the specific error message, without paraphrase, as well as the following system information. For more detailed advice.

    Hi, Dr.,

    Volumes that contain file system errors are known as Sales. To indicate that a file system problem has occurred and that the volume is dirty, Windows XP Professional displays a message similar to the following when you try to open, delete, or rename a file or folder by using Microsoft Windows Explorer or the command prompt:

    Autochk runs if the volume is marked as modified.

    If the file system has marked the volume as dirty, Autochk runs the Startup Repair process. Volumes are marked as dirty, when the file system detects an error on the volume. If Autochk detects a dirty volume, it provides a delay of 10 seconds, and then starts the repair process. If you cancel Autochk when a volume is dirty, Autochk tries to run again after a 10 second delay every time the computer is restarted.

    See Chkdsk for all the necessary explanations:

    Dell XPS on MS XP running several windows to include station media TV and internet games offers a pixelated display gradually and freezes. restart clears but reproduces

    I love my Dell and use media station to watch cable TV while playing games on the internet (pogo.com) sometimes I play solitaire spider OEM.  I think that, especially in the afternoon, my image of the desktop will get pixelated (small hyphens in contrasting colors) gradually fill in top to bottom.  Initially, I thought this might be the steganography, but found no references.  then I noticed that the pixelation in contrasting colors began to appear on the screen of the media station into strips about 6-8 rows of red, green and blue and pulsed in time for audio.  do not have audio video storage but this started to happen when Comcast went digital, so there may be a link?  spoke and troubleshoot-done with the line paid expert who suggested Speedfan as a diagnosis for my GPU graphics processing unit.  When I reboot, everything is fine so it happens with increasing frequency.

    Even if your system is physically disconnected from the power supply and clean, if you can remove your slot NVIDIA card and reinsert the card safely in the same dwelling, which will ensure that you don't have a loose connection.  Which may require a screwdriver, so if you're not uncomfortable with it, maybe you can find someone to help you.

    Your display NVIDIA GeForce 7300 driver has also passed HIM.

    Your msinfo32/video info says that currently, you have this:

    6.14.12.6658 driver version (it's NVIDIA version 266.58)

    The current version of the driver for the GeForce 7300 is 270.61

    The best way to reinstall the NVIDIA software is to visit NVIDIA support web page and let your system and recommend the best software for your system or that you get the right version of the software on their web page and download the latest package of video driver for your system software and install it yourself.

    It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.
