Driver SSD for XPS 15

Hello
We bought the Dell XPS 15.
I try to install clean windows 10 1607 x 64 and then an SSD installation could not be found.
What driver should I download?

Greetings Anahaym,

This driver is here (under Serial ATA (1 file) on the page drivers): www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

Once you have downloaded the file, you must extract the raw files for use during the installation of the OS.

The basic files you need are in these places:

I extracted mine in a random folder on my desktop.

C:\Users\user_name\Desktop\New folder (2) \Drivers\Production\Windows10-x64

iaAHCIC.inf

iaStorAC.inf

It's going to be one of these. Don't know exactly that one.

  • What SSD for XPS 435 MT?

    Going to install a second hard drive in my XPS Studio, looking for suggestions:

    Apart from adding memory and replacing the card system in a Dell laptop, got lucky with the assistance of excellent books on this site, I don't have much experience on the hardware side.

    There are a plethora of SSD drives.  Is it my imagination, or are they all 2.5 "?  Do I need a conversion Kit?  What about a data & power cable?  How about a given car new?

    What type of SSD drive would recommend?   Wish it were big enough to use as a disk system/primary.

    Thanks in advance,

    It is not simple to install an SSD in the 435MT. There are a few 'Catch 22' problems in this regard. Support TRIM is absolutely vital with an SSD. Without it the SSD will eventually become slow or slower than a normal HARD drive. So that the FILLING of the function, the SSD must use an AHCI driver. It will also enable the NCQ, giving you all the speed that your SSD is capable of more SATA 2.0, which is a 3 Gbps max. Another advantage is that it makes your SATA and eSATA ports connectable capable hot, but not necessarily hot capable. (The difference is pluggable hot medium you can add a disk, but not remove it, it is hot you can add or remove a disk with the system running.)

    Unfortunately, the Intel X 58 + ICH10 chipset on the mobo to the XPS 435MT isn't complete. Reference Dell limit the abilities of the chipset. While the onboard Intel SATA controllers can support the AHCI, they run in the default IDE mode. The BIOS is also limited at the very least, more like paralyzed, in fact. In the BIOS, under Advanced Chipset Features > SATA Mode, there is only a choice between IDE or IDE RAID being the default value. However, by selecting the mode SATA RAID, AHCI is enabled on all four SATA ports and eSATA. Of course, if you enable RAID after that your operating system is installed, all on your SSD or HARD drive will be lost and you will need to reinstall new OS. Thus, enable RAID in the BIOS of the 435MT before installing the OS on your new SSD.

    The problem next you will likely encounter is a failure of your operating system installation. This is described in the available MS 2466753 Knowledge Base Article here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753

    It is a known problem with Windows 7 and Windows 8. Know well on Vista. There are solutions involving the modification of the system registry by creating keys, subkeys and values, as well as workarounds for workarounds depending on what controller uses your SSD. Assuming that at some point you get your system up and running from your SSD, there is another problem that arises when you insert a blank disc in your burner. Your system will probably freeze or crash entirely. It's because of your optical drives also in AHCI drivers when they should use UDMA/IDE. When you select RAID for the SATA Mode in the BIOS, all SATA ports switch to AHCI. Thus, before using your or optical drives, check in the Device Manager to see if you can change the driver for the SATA optical drive controller in the operating system to UDMA/IDE.

  • Hard drive / SSD for After Effects optimization

    Hey everybody! Anyway, I wonder how to optimize my setup disk for After Effects. I don't know if the answer to this changes between AE versions we will just look at CS5.5 and CS6.

    My configuration:

    I7 - 3930 k OC had to 4.5 GHz

    48 GB of RAM (1866-999-24)

    EVGA GTX 770 4 GB classified

    120 GB SATA II SSD for drive C (operating system and programs, nothing else. Not even games)

    240GB SATA III SSD to scratch your files (50 GB reserved) and output

    500 GB (7200 RPM) HARD drive for media files (mainly AVCHD)

    3 TB external backup (not used when editing)

    My system already works pretty fast for what I do, but if the upgrade of my Sata II SSD or replace my HDD with a SSD would be me give another significant boost in speed, then I'm all for it. I doubt it would be nowhere near as well an increase in my last two upgrades well. The GTX 770 gave me a 3. 5 x for my projects 3D rendering speed boost from 16 GB to 48GB of RAM gave me 5.5 x ram preview speed boost. Regardless, I'm always looking for every ounce of power out my hardware because less time editing is more time with the family.

    Given my current setup. Should I change how I use my current readers or buy an another SSD to replace one of my existing records? I already intend to buy a Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB SSD, but if he won't really matter so I just pass on it.

    Oh, I also use first Pro CS5.5 frequently. Not sure if that changes anything.

    Thank you!

    Eric

    EDIT: Just found a link that helps the configuration of disk for Premiere Pro (below), but I'm still having a hard time finding how to optimize my disk configuration, as each reader is capable of a different speed. My fastest drive is drive C, the drive or the disk cache / scratch?

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/662972

    Put the cache of AE on the SSD drive folder. The media cache will follow other media applications cache settings. That's all you need to worry about really. The Directory Windows Temp Variable is of course the operating system if it's a SSD this way.

  • SSD boot drive upgrade for XPS 8500

    I want to add a new SSD 128 GB as boot on my XPS 8500 drive when using my original 1 TB hard drive as a data reader.  Questions: Is there a set of instructions on how to better fulfill the new OS install and configure both hard drives?  Can I do a clean install of Win 7 using the Dell XPS 8500 Windows reinstall DVD on the new SSD? The XPS 8500 supports SATA III drives?  Thanks for any help on this.

    An additional question: the processor can be upgraded (from i5 to i7) using the motherboard the original XPS 8500?

    Hi DoctorDED,

    8 GB of memory is sufficient for a machine dedicated to the photo or video editing. However, if you run multiple applications with a lot of resources at the same time especially treatment image or video, CAD or 3D modeling (for example, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and After Effects), then you will surely be benefited by 16 GB of RAM. With more than 8 GB also comes in handy if you make heavy use of virtualization such as Microsoft Hyper-V or VMWare Workstaton tools, especially if you are running multiple operating systems simultaneously.

    Answer please if you have any other questions.

  • Solid State Drive (SSD) for notebook 1160us dm4, a SATA II or SATAIII?

    I would go to an SSD and I was wondering if this laptop supports SATA III or 6 GB/s transfer rate. The HARD disk that is in a Seagate ST9500420AS ATA and research shows that he has a transfer rate of 3 gb/s. I don't know if I should buy an SSD is 6 GB/s or 3 Gbps. don't know if the motherboard supports (SATAIII / 6 GB/s)?

    Thoughts? Someone has upgraded to SSD s. Also, how / what did you use to transfer the old drive or you just reinstall Windows 7?

    Thank you

    Harry

    Hello

    1. most likely, it is a SATA II controller. You can use the following program to check:

    FTP://FTP.CPUID.com/PC-Wizard/PC-wizard_2012.2.11.zip

    (In my case, the controller is a SATA III).

    2. I normally have "clone" of the HARD drive, this will save a lot of time to reinstall many things. I use a product called O & O DiskImage to perform this work, very fast and the success rate of 100%. A small note: you need a larger SSD (capacity) than the drive that you want to clone - normally C:. You can try this free product:

    http://www.EASEUS.com/disk-copy/

    Some SSD vendors also provide a product of cloning for you to do this work.

    Kind regards.

  • Upgrade to SSD for MacBook Pro 13 "(2011)

    I want to upgrade to a hard drive SSD for my notebook Early 2011 MacBook Pro.

    What are the specifications of the SSD looking?

    Is that the kind of 2.5 "(7mm)?"  I was looking at the card SanDisk Ultra II or similar model.

    What is the process or the workflow to change SSD?  (he just plug or do I need a prop?)

    I backed up my current HARD drive for Time Machine on a G-Drive external hard drive.  Can I restore my backup for the SSD of Time Machine, or are there additional steps?

    Thank you in advance.

    Any SSD with a box 2.5 "will be compatible with your MBP.  I recommend OWC SSD or critical based on my experience and other participants of CSA veterans.

    Installing the SSD is the same as for a traditional HARD drive.  Watch this video:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_early11_hd/

    You must format the SSD in Mac OS extended (journaled) disk utility.  You can use Time Machine to restore your data on the SSD.

    You can follow these guidelines:

  • Installation of a new SSD for my new 8700 XPS

    Hello

    Last month, I bought a dell XPS 8700 (4790 i7, 8 GB) model of Dell.com & there a 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM.

    Now I need to install Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB 2.5-inch SATA III internal SSD for my machine & I need your advice that follows;

    1. do I need to buy 2.5 "to 3.5" internal hard drive mounting Kit for this?

    2. do I need to buy a second cable SATA III?

    3. do I need to buy additional cables or not?

    4. What is the correct method to install Windows 8.1 this SSD?

    Since I'm not a guy elected, your opinions of education / advise are much appreciated.

    Dilan

    If the Dell backup and restore media recovery is used it will be identical to the factory with all the drivers preinstalled system installation.

    There may be updates to the driver, but everything should work on the box.

  • Upgrade SSD for Dell XPS 15 9550

    Hello

    I have Dell XPS 9550 with configuration 32 GB SSD + 500 GB HARD disk. I want to upgrade SSD for more space avaliablity.

    But I don't know what type of SSD, I'll need to buy. Also, I read XPS 15 to repair. There are two chapter for the removal and replacement of the SSD in the maintenance manual. First chapter of half-length SSD, second chapter SSD full length.

    What type of SSD is mounted in my laptop? Half or full length?

    How can I identify necessary SSD for me in stores (dimensions, label, etc.)?

    What interface for SSD do I need?  PCIE or SATA?

    What is the map? M2.2280 or PCI-E AIC (-expansion card)?

    Thanks in advance!

    These are all numbers of Dell and descriptions.

    The system uses a PCIe (or is if you want a faster player), 2280 m2 or small size.  UNLESS you buy directly from Dell, it is best NOT to buy versions OEM of SSD (Samsung end pieces in a '1' vs '0' for details).

    OEM spare parts are usually not compatible to end-users by the manufacturer.

    Because you will probably install the operating system for the new SSD, don't forget to make a recovery media set, you need to load the operating system on the larger capacity disk - what you have now is just a cache for the main hard drive.

  • Adding additional SSD for dell xps 15 with 256 GB SSD

    Hi, I just bought a dell xps 15 9550 with 6th gen i7, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB ssd. Is it possible to add an additional SSD for the location of hard disk 2.5 inches remaining. If possible do I need to buy the cable for SSD too or is that what cable already included here?

    Thanks in advance,

    There is a support and a set of rubber bumper needed to connect a disk 2.5 "hard.  In general, these are not delivered with the system unless it is controlled with a hard drive - you must remove the base of the cover to check if - some reports are that some versions can be delivered with the necessary equipment.  If not, they are likely available from spare parts from Dell and from other sources such as EBay and third Dell parts suppliers such as share - People.com.

  • Tecra R10 - hard drive upgrade for SSD

    Can we say if it is possible to change the hard drive for an SSD?
    It would be perfect!

    Why is it not possible? As far as I know Toshiba proposes some models of the Portege with SSD and SATA drives.
    For the time being SSDS are quite expensive and I don't think the best solution.
    What is the reason for the exchange of HARD drive?
    I still have no experience with SSDS, but I've read several articles ve noticed that Intel X25M should be good. According to the tests that has this HARD drive, comparing to other manufacturers, data transfer rate but it is quite expensive.

    Anyway, when you replace the HARD drive please let us know how it works, and describe your experience with it. It can be very useful for other members of the forum.

    Good luck!

  • Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

    Hello

    I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

    The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

    I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

    If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

    OR

    Is - this material is defective?

    Thank you in advance!

    I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

  • Suggested Drive setup for new h8 - 1360t with SSD and Raid-1 array

    All,

    I need some advice on how to configure the drives in my new system (waiting for construction and delivery, sigh).

    I bought a plan to replace the 1 TB drive with a new drive SSD that I start from and H8 - 1360T (Win 7 Pro).

    I also have a Raid-1 array in an old HP 4999 T system (Vista) disks Western Digital Caviar Black 2x2TB

    By looking at the motherboard plug appear to be only SATA0/1 6 GB/s, the others are 3GBPS.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03132942

    I was a little surprised by that and need some advice.

    1. If I put the SSD on SATA0 or SATA1, the quickest way?

    2 or do I put the drives Raid-1 array and move the SSD to path of 3 Gbps?

    I think this last (option 2), but wanted to get your entry in case missed me something.

    Thank you

    Joel

    Ruette,

    Thanks for your comments. Looks like I should start with Option 1 as a better starting point.
