• OPTION ROM - configure SSD as a CACHE

  ZBOOK 15 HP

  F0U63ET #ABZ

  S/O: WINDOWS 7

  My laptop has 750 GB HARD disk and 32 GB SSD which should work as a cache. I needed to re - install windows N/A 8-7, but I do not know how to set up the SSD as a cache.

  S/O installed the 750 GB HARD disk in RAID mode.

  When I try to install HP DVD Intel Rapid Storage Technology software anything happen. After reboot, software and drivers not installed. NO ERROR MESSAGE.

  Screenshot shows you the current situation. I am not able to create a Volume as a cache in the ROM OPTION.

  Hope someone here can help me.

  Thank you!!

• Speed XP Virtual Machine with disk SSD/Velociraptor/7200 RPM EVEN!

  Hi all -

  Recently I decided that I was tired of waiting for one of my XP VM to boot. He took ~6.5 minutes, at the time where all services started and everything and I've been to a logon screen. I have a Velociraptor that my (clean install of Windows 7 x 64 RC1) operating system was turned on, so I bought an SSD, installed and copied my my 7200 RPM WD Caviar Black VMs to the SSD. Naturally, I was not impressed by the results of the tests AT ALL. I saw the following:

  • Operating system loaded on Velociraptor, VM XP on WD Caviar= 6.5 minutes to start the VM/login prompt to appear

  • Operating system loaded on Velociraptor, VM on SSD= 6.25 minutes to start the VM/login prompt to appear

  • Operating system loaded on SSD, VM on Velociraptor= 6.5 minutes to start the VM/login prompt to appear

  This seems really strange, since all the posts that I read is the drive faster, faster operates the VMWare VM / fastest. Throw into the mix that the portable original that this virtual machine has been converted will start in about 3.25 minutes (IBM T42, Celeron CPU @ 1.70 GHz, 2 GB RAM) and something seems really wrong...

  I had markers with crystal drive and I'm getting great flow on the SSD; readings are really quick, / writing sucks, as expected.  I also notice that my boot time host o/s, Office, race etc. faster.  I really expected increases in day/night performance here on my virtual machine, not more of the same for disk SSD $200...

  By the way, I have dedicated 2 GB of RAM to this VM XP and have only run with a single processor.  And before anyone asks: no, I can not improved this virtual machine to Vista/Windows 7, due to restrictions on IT.

  So, my questions for the group here are:

  1. Is there something special I need to do to make the more attentive virtual machine?  The main thing that I hear, it is to throw as much RAM and disk speed, you can him... obviously, I did... and no, dedicate 3 GB, 4 GB of RAM doesn't help, either. I already tried...

  2. My VM has a single disk (~ 42GB).  Would I have noticed no improvement in speed, dividing the disk (in pieces of 2GB)?

  3. I see the best performance by using a dedicated hard drive controller (Vs the edge)?

  4. If I see the best performance with a hard disk controller dedicated, he's more intelligent RAID 0 two Velociraptors or two SSD performance for VMWare?

  I am willing to spend money on a controller or another SSD or Velociraptor (or a controller and another drive), I don't want to feel like I am wasting time and $$$ trying to achieve a performance that cannot be established in VMWare.

  My features of the platform are:

  • Operating systems: Windows 7 x 64 RC1 (fresh installs for all tests)

  • CPU: C2D E6750-2.67 GHz

  • RAM: 8 GB RAM

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS3L (Southbridge: ICH9)

  • Storage:

  • Corsair Extreme Series CMFSSD - 1 64 64 GB 2.5 "SATA II MLC (contains the OS)

  • Western Digital Velociraptor 150 GB (contains virtual machines)

  • Western Digital Caviar Black 1.0 TB (General store)

  Thank you, in advance, for all your comments.

  @ noirfan1:

  Re: #1: OK, it used to take me more than an hour to perform a scan on demand with the vmdk files stored on a 1 TB western digital 7200 RPM drive.  When I moved to an SSD (60 GB Supertalent) vmdk files time has decreased to the point where the total scan time less than 8 minutes.

  Re: #2: OK, I think that there may be a service startup time, driver, or a process that can be hung up the system which is not related to disk IO.

  Re: #3: If you use the same .vm * exact files on two different systems and see a big difference in time of start, check and confirm that the virtual machine configuration settings are identical.  An example would be to have the virtual CD-ROM connected to an ISO on a network share and have the virtual CD-ROM disconnected from each other.

  A good test in the strict sense for the disk performance is to create clean XP install on the raptor and the DSS, and compare boot times in this way.  I'm not too familiar with the SSD Corsair you mention, but it should be faster.  Beware if it is based on the Jmicron controller (they are known to have huge problems with the random read performance) instead of a controller Indilinx Barefoot or Intel.

  Another test of the performance of the hard drive could run iometer inside each virtual machine to check the raw performance of io.  HD tune is another tool, that you can use for an easier test.

  I hope this helps.

• Program for caching disk ssd Y580

  Currently I have my OS installed on my 32 GB SSD - drive on the lenovo y580. Recently, I discovered that I shouldn't have installed here, but the HARD drive disk and use the SSD to cache. What program should I use for caching because Y580 is not supported RAID. And when my OS on the SSD, should I just re - install on the HARD disk drive. But I have some personal data like pictures, movies, music, and documents on the HARD drive. If I install windows then I lose them. They are important to me!

  Hello

  Here's the solution provided on article

  You will need to erase the SSD partitions, so you will need to have your operating system installed on the HARD drive first.

  To resolve this issue, first delete the primary partition on the mSATA SSD and then install the ExpressCache software. The ExpressCache Setup will automatically create the necessary partition cached on the mSATA SSD.

  1. Open the Start Menu, type DiskMgmt.msc and press ENTER to start the Disk Manager.
  
  
  2. At the bottom of the disk management window, identify the mSATA SSD device. The mSATA SSD 16 GB is 14,91 GB. The mSATA SSD 32 GB is 29,82 GB.
  
  
  3. The mSATA SSD can contain a 'Data2' score with a D: or E: drive letter. If so, check for any saved files on the device. If the files exist, you can move them to the C:\ drive.
  
  
  4. Delete the primary Partition on the mSATA SSD by right-click on it and choose 'remove the Volume '.... "in the menu that appears. Click 'Yes' to confirm the action.
  
  
  5. There are at least 29GB of unallocated on the mSATA SSD space.
  
  
  6. Download ExpressCache from the following link that corresponds to the installation of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit):
  
  
  • 32-bit Windows 7
  
  
  • 64-bit Windows 7
  
  
  1. Install ExpressCache by double-clicking the installation file downloaded in step 6 and follow the on-screen instructions. Reboot as prompted.

  Best regards

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Looks like the Condusiv software is not active on the MSATA.  Have you seen the documents in the directory Condusiv?

  I hope that we do not have to perform a clean function of diskpart on this device, but perhaps again. Clean even after another order of Condusiv (ECCmd-partition) must be carried out, then a restart.  At this time there the Condusiv ECCmd-info command should work and show some statistics cached.

• The distribution of applications and data between the disk SSD and HDD

  I recently installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro (late 2011) instead of the DVD player. I want to install OS X on it, by replacing the current OS X on the original hard disk, I will continue to use for storing files. How should I allocate its use in car? OS X and applications on the data files on the hard disk of 500 GB and SSD?

  The first series of instructions will partition and format the newly installed SSD disk then install OS X on it. The second block will help you configure OS X on the SSD with your data on the HARD drive.

  Clean Install of El Capitan on a new disc

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

• Upgrade memory and disk SSD Qosmio F50-108

  Hello!

  After 3 years, I decided to upgrade my [Qosmio F50 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID=1 055727 & DISC_MODEL = 1] new SSD and additional memory.

  With a drive, I'm pretty well agreed the [Intel 320 120 GB SSD | http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-320-series.html], unless you recommend something different maybe?

  But I have the problem before deciding what size memory to take. Now, I 3 072 (2 048 + 1 024) MB DDR2 (800 MHz), and CPU - z says it runs in mode dual channel with timings 6-6-6-18(on memory stick it says 6-6-6-12?). I watched [Patriot DDR2 SO-DIMM 4 GB 800 MHz | 787 http://patriotmemory.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=3&catid=33&prodgroupid=59&id= & type = 5], and he said just in time of latency case 6. I have not found on the internet what timings there so I have a question:

  If I buy 1 (one) memory stick (Patriot) and replace it with 1 GB stick in laptop, old 2 GB + 4 GB new work in dual channel, or do I have to buy 2 x 4 GB (Patriot)?

  If this does not work, you rather 6 GB with channel single or dual channel 4 GB.

  Thanks for all the answers!

  > I pretty much agreed with drive, Intel 320 120 GB SSD, unless you recommend something different maybe?

  I think it shouldn't be a big problem with the compatibility because the HARD disk controller supports the SATA interface and the SATA SSD drive should also be compatible.

  > If I buy 1 (one) memory stick (Patriot) and replace it with 1 GB stick in laptop, old 2 GB + 4 GB new work in dual channel, or do I have to buy 2 x 4 GB (Patriot)?

  Dual Channel does not require two execatly the same memory modules.

  So, theoretically, you can use a module of RAM 2 GB and 4 GB RAM module.
  I advise to use 4 GB of RAM in A slot and 2 GB of RAM in slot B

  But the two modules must supports the same speed (800 Mhz), otherwise the module more quickly would be pointing down.

• ENVY dv7-7390el: problem with installation of a 2nd disk (SSD)

  Hello everyone.

  I want to put a 2nd hard drive in my laptop (dv7-7390el ENVY). It's a Samsung SSD (model: 850 PRO - 512 GB of RAM).

  However, even if I did first initialization with USB cable because it is new, when I link the new component using its cable to the motherboard port 2nd HARD drive and that I turn on the laptop it does not detect anything.

  In any case, I also tried to put a different device, another HARD disk, but the problem is the same, it is nowhere.

  How can I do to find it and then use it? Could someone help me?

  Concerning

  OK, I had a slightly newer model that is very similar, the series of 17 t - j000 want and also got a second basket of newmodeus.com. It finally worked but the anchor of the water was very small and it took 2 or 3 tries to get the systΦme can recognize the second hard drive. You must host the cable 'so '. If you do not have it HP or newmodeus.com I'd be skeptical on the cable.

• Upgrading an Envy 15-j171nr with 8GB and 24GB SSD 16 GB cache

  I'm a 15-j171nr with 8GB and 24 GB SSD cache. Whe I have it set to purchase the Configurator said the cache of 24GO was incompatible with more than 8 GB of RAM.  'Maintenance and Service of Guide' (p/n 733845-001) said the same thing on page 5:

  «mSATA SSD»

  Support for mSATA 24 GB SSD (not available on the computer equipped models with 16834 or 12288 MB of system memory or a 256 GB or 512 GB SSD)"

  My questions are:

  -How are they incompatible?

  -How do you upgrade a 8 GB to 16 GB model during the withdrawal of the mSATA 24GO card?

  The additional DIMM module is physically incompatible with the mSATA map, they install in remote locations. I guess it could be a thermal or issue of power but neither part draws a lot of power or generates a lot of heat. This is * not * a problem with software compatibility. How will I know? Because I advanced and installed the extra 8 GB DIMMS and the laptop continues to operate correctly, but now has 16 GB or RAM.

  The question about the upgrade is because when you use the card as a cache mSATA configuring map mSATA and the mechanical drive as a RAID array. I guess when you remove the mSATA card you must rebuild the image of the operating system on the drive of 2.5 inches.

  -Craig

  Some people report if they switch to 16 gigs, they start to become quick start Intel and Intel Rapid Storage errors. If you're not, then you do not experience incompatibility. I think that HP will not sell 16 concerts with the WSSD of 24 concert because if you are using Intel Rapid Start the MSSD has contain the entire contents of the RAM and all the other files that have been stored there for hibernation. 24 concerts can be a little tight. Map of the WSSD is not accessible from the service Bay. It is hidden on the motherboard. You can actually slow down the main drive of the WSSD through the Intel Rapid Storage console. If you have installed 16 gigs and are having no problem just keep using the laptop and count you lucky. If you need assistance more let us know. I have a very similar model: the Envy 17-j029nr and played well with all the features of hard drive so I feel pretty good with her speed.

• Update XP, Vista and win7 PC with disk ssd

  Hello

  I have 3 computers with XP, Vista and Win7.

  I wonder if computers laptops XP and Vista (sata) will be able to get the most out of the SSD HDD?
  The sine qua non of not losing a lot of performance, is that the bios ahci mode available for hard disk?
  Is there something else?
  Some older computers, laptops and desktops may not use a SSD HDD?

  I have an external SATA enclosure for a disk hard 2.5 "regular who was not particularly to adapt to an SSD HDD. It fit? I'm wanting to copy the contents of all of the hard drive to the hard drives(xp,vista,win7) on the new discs, including the hidden partition which has the OS on it with something like Norton ghost or acronis true image software. Are there suggestions which we use, and which cable (what is a sata to usb cable?) do I need for the migration if I use a laptop computer to copy these disks?

  Does anyone have any suggestions of what SSD to use? I'm looking for a 120gig SATA 3 with faster speeds.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  3 SSD have more fast read and write times when they are installed in PCs that use the latest SATA 3 interface. You may be able to search online by using your favorite search engine to know the different manufacturers.

  SATA cables would be also faster to transfer the data.

• Reference Dell inspiron 15z / win 8 / disk ssd problems

  Well, tell me how it works,

  I have dell inspiron 15z with 500 GB hard drive with laptop want to exchange it to 120 GB ssd, but I can't because no media to reinstall and the whole system is on hard Bank...

  I tried to do with software usb recovery dell preinstaled originally, but when I start to install the ssd system it gives me the error message that the new hard disk must be at least 465 GB

  I tried to copy the partition that I tried to do the recovery with another software image, it simply does not. When I tried to install win from another cd that he refuses the number series, even when I used the same version. instead of this test of dell to kill my mood why don't they have just not preparing the software backup and restore Dell to facilitate the use and for SSDS too?

  I would gladly appreciate any help

  Hi Thomiq,

  The backup and restore software would seek similar configuration during the restoration. If the hardware is changed the original image may not work.

  At this point, I see that you will need the operating system disc to reinstall it on the SSD drive. Please send me a private message with serial number of the computer, name registered during the system purchase and email address so that I can check out what we can do.

• Virtual MACHINE disk SSD and SATA III?

  Hello

  I am building a new workstation tech support and will greatly appreciate your advice:

  In short, I am migrating from a 92 GB 32-bit Win7 with the only platform of RAM 4 GB, for a Win8 - 64 bit with 32 GB of RAM platform. From experience, I know that it will take months of "free time" until I can complete installation, configuration, data migration and upgrade of all Win8 software I need to run my business on a daily basis. In terms of continuity of activity for the moment, my way of thinking is to:

  Install a fresh Win8 64-bit in a C: partition of 125 GB on a new 250 GB SSD.

  Create logical partition D: on the remaining 125 GB SSD.

  I'll then P2V old Win7 on a new VM VMware on the D: partition.

  BTW, I'm not looking for methodology on the mechanics of the P2V here, because it is beyond the scope of this post and I know how to do this with the VMware products and 3rd party utilities.

  This should help:

  1. gradually get the host physical Win8 upward and entirely configured at my convenience, being able to continue to run Win7 in the VM for my daily activities.

  2. enjoy benefits and features of productivity which offers VMware Workstation on the competition.

  3. enjoy the impressive speed expected to have the VM Win7 on an SSD.

  4. several months from now when I need is more VM Win7 for daily activities, move the VM Win7 off the SSD (more than one pin SATA III), delete the D: partition out of the SSD and resize the partition of Win8 to use any DSS.

  If I do the migration of this way, Win8, I can do (part 3) full backups / incremental of Win8 C:partition and partition D: Win8 (which holds the VM Win7), the image separately as an activity based on required on these partitions. Yes, with the stop of the VM or suspended of course during imaging of 3rd party partition.

  The $64 questions are therefore:

  5. the sound that precedes like a plan?

  6. or, it would be better to just install Win8 on the SSD of 250 GB of space (with VMware Workstation installed of course) and put the VM Win7 on the pin SATA III that contains my other virtual machines? My 3rd party software Imaging allows full/incremental file, so I could just save the VM Win7 directory on this axis. I can see potential disk latency issues in this scenario, if I have the old VM Win7 running and at the same time also work on (for example) two guests Windows Server of pre-production with a few guests of Win7/Win8 (to test ERP software or question MSSQL). There are five virtual machines running on this SATA III 7200 RPM spindle.

  Sorry, that was so long. I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

  Kind regards...

  Personally speaking I use the SSD together as a single partition and have a low spindle drive where you can run your file exchange and the VM, it would be different if you were running multple VM and wanted that they have spun fast and enjoyable, but as it's a loophole to stop until you get all migrate by then I don't see why you want to divide the SSD.

  My MSI laptop has 2 SSD mSATA, the operating system of the House and a brooch my VM and file exchange and tbh I don't suffer at all with performance, I even was called to run virtual machines running (plural) from a device USB 3 instead.

• Better way to clone the hard disk SSD evo 850 samsung

  I want to clone my current HARD drive to SSD samsung. The problem is that the OEM partition (100 mb) is not cloned with the Samsung tool. What is the best way to keep that partition?

  I've used easeus http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy/ succesfully maintaining OEM partitions and recovery.

• Error 2100 with disk SSD Sandisk on Thinkpad X61s

  Hello!
  A month ago, I installed a Sandisk SSD in my Thinkpad X61s. At first it worked great, but then he started having the following problem more frequently:

  All of a sudden the computer would freeze completely and indefinitely, or he would give me a blue screen. That was quite rarely. Now it happens right on start, after the office is responsible. This also applies when I start mode without failure.

  The other problem is that he sometimes would not start at all, gives me the following error:
  ERROR

  2100: HDD0 initialization error (hard drive) (1)

  My google search suggests that it is a common problem that many people have had to face. Yet I found no definitive solutions.

  Some people have suggested that the problem may be due to a loose contact / SSD not properly seated inside the computer. This is certainly not the case for me. I opened the compartment of the HARD drive and SSD is sitting here as tight as a bug in a rug

  Others have proposed an update of the Firmware of the SSD. In this case there is no such update to the SSD, I bought.

  So here's my questions regarding other solutions:

  UPDATE BIOS

  I currently have the latest BIOS lenovo-approved. This is the version 2.22.

  It seems to be a BIOS not official that many people are praising called the BIOS of Middleton. It is available here:
  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/Lenovo/459591-T61-x61-SATA-II-1-5-GB-s-Cap-willing-pay-solution-8.ht...
  Does anyone have any experience with it? Any tips on how to install it or what to beware?

  CHANGE OS FROM WINDOWS TO LINUX

  I am currently using Windows 7. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see how a Kubuntu Live CD would work. I don't spend a lot of time in Kubuntu, but during the period where I was, didn't crash the system. So I was wondering if Linux has better drivers for SSD than Windows. Any thoughts on the issue?

  (I must admit, however, that I * have * seen Linux users complain about 2100 error.)

  Is there something else I should try?

  I also had problems with a SanDisk Extreme in my X200s. essentially the same problems under Linux. According my research, Sandforce based drives don't play well with some laptop computer firmware (X 61, X200s), since the firmware will allow Sata Link Power (that is to say let fall the link to low power when not read & written). I'm guessing that when on AC this feature is disabled (always happes but not as often). Windows has a registery for this patch and Linux you can also turn it off. This isn't a real solution, even if it will help (because you still have to boot for the patch is taken into account). I had to replace my SanDisk with a Samsung 840 (disk password protection does not work on X61s or X200s for the Samsung however).

• What disk ssd works best with 2012 model

  I need to replace my hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2012. A PNY CS1311 will be a good choice?

  I just did an upgrade to SSD on my MBP mid-2012 13 inches.

  I used a Samsung Evo 850-series SSD (500 GB).

  However, you can also use a less expensive but all too good

  Trion OCZ SSD 150-series.

  Don't forget to enable support for these SSD trim

  Open 'terminal app' and type 'sudo trimforce activate', select YES, YES... .and restart start when finished.

  Or you could buy an OWC SSD more expensive which crops not need support.

  If good recommendation is to use at least 240 GB. partitions for each operating system that you plan to use.

  If you plan use boot camp with OS - X and MS-Windows-10 then buy a 480 GB or larger SSD.
