• Performance increase using SSD for paging/extraction/cache or ReadyBoost? (Win7)

  Hi, have an extra 16 GB SATA SSD and you are looking for a way to add my PC performance.  It would be useful for me to free 16 GB of the drive, if possible, or maybe speed up the system by a notch or two. Thought I might be able to move the pagination (fetch? cache?) files for the SSD of alternatives to increase the primary disk space, or designate the replacement ssd as a device for a slight speed boost readyboost. Any suggestions?

• Optimizing performance with an SSD.

  Can someone refer me to online information about how to optimize startup and execution of the program selected by installing the OS (Win 7) and some intensive programs (MS Office 2007 and Adobe CS4, Photoshop mainly) disc on a 80 GB SSD, but maintaining / installed everything on a large drive hard 'standard', the user i.e.:ALL files (documents (, scanned documents, digital photos, music videos, etc.) and less intensive disk or less programs frequently used?  I can easily install Win 7 on the SSD ("C" drive), but it sets up the path of directory and 'Users' data on the same drive, by default.  I'm reluctant to mess with the registry, but do I have to in order to move all the files from the user to drive "D" or "E" (two Seagate 1 TB disks). I'm on an Intel CoreDuo test mode, platform of Quad with 8 GB of RAM, but will migrate to a new I7 with 12 GB of DDR3 as soon as I'm uncomfortable with this installation process - but I don't think that all the material, other than readers, is very important for the problem.  Thank you.

• Best performance vs value of the processor?

  Hello

  I'm tired of this slowdown my old i7 920 provides when editing the body 5. So I consider buying a new processor for my PC. I have good drives, Nvidia FX3800, 12 GB of ram etc but have need some more of the speed of the CPU I guess...

  Here is a list of compatible processors - but who should I choose? I m only using this PC for Adobe Master Collection and other workstuff. No game at all.

  But I am in doubt about wich CPU choice - not paying for something that is excessive or too slow. Any ideas?

  Morten

  Not really Jim. Just looking at the economy here. The 970 performs significantly better than an i7-920, especially with AVCHD/H.264 hardware and exports and one can continue using the motherboard and RAM one. The only investment is the CPU and that is about $580. Invest in a 2600K more expensive, because you have to get a new processor, new mobo, new RAM to work with 16 GB or leaving the existing RAM intact, perhaps requiring a downgrade from 8 GB to avoid the use of channel memory, which reduces the attractiveness of a 2600 and possibly a new cooler and it run better than a 970.

  The i7-3930/3960 will not appear before mid-November and they need of almost everything is new, CPU, RAM, mobo and possibly water cooling due to the limited space between the huge Plug and the DIMM slots, making it difficult for the existing chillers, especially with 1600 DDR support sticks, while the initial mobos support not officially PCI-e 3.0, which is expected only in Q2 2012. It is still too early to tell what is wise to support SB - E.

  I always use a 920 and want to upgrade the SB-E, but not before Q2 2012 because I want to wait for 3.0 PCIe raid controllers and support for PCIe 3.0 on the mobo, and for a price to come down a little. If the OP has the time, yes it is better wait a little, but if not, then the 970 is the best alternative.

• ProBook 6360 SSD performance worse b specified by the SSD manufacturer

  Hello!

  I bought a ProBook 6360 b, LG635EA #UUZ product number, which comes with a 128 GB SSD. I first installed Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and then noticed that the performance of the SSD has been bad. Playback speed is around 260 MB/s, but writing was much too slow to about 36 MB/s. I installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit with Linux now and installed all the drivers from the HP Support site. The software "AS SSD Benchmark" on Windows displays 260 MB/s read speed and 175 MB/s write speed. Clearly the poor write performance must be a Linux question (I have activate the TRIM support).

  Did I wonder on this: manufacturer the SSD (Micron) specifies this SSD to reading and writing of 175 Mbps 500 Mbps. The SSD I have is a MTFDDAK128MAM-1j1 Rev. 809 see http://www.micron.com/parts/solid-state-storage/ssd/mtfddak128mam-1j1

  Windows 7 seems to reach the full specified writing speed, but Linux and Windows can not reach specified, almost half being as fast playback speed. Am I wrong in thinking I should get 500 MB/s for reading? It is a SATA 3 drive running in AHCI mode, so this should not be the issue. It doesn't seem to be an update of firmware for this particular SSD, and I already day BIOS to the latest version.

  Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Hey jlherren,

  Drive HARD Tune is a pretty sweet tool. Co-worker colleague he recommended to me. It's a SATA2 drive. Check out the specs on the HP Support page here site: http://goo.gl/Fymnv

  If your seeing this speed, the drive is almost positively connected to SATA2.

  Hope this helps,

• Satellite L50 and SSD - performance problem

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1EH and the first thing I did was to replace the hard drive with an SSD.
  Initially the SSD is not recognized by the BIOS, like many other users across the Internet reported as well.

  To prove this statement here are other people having the same problem, and people have tried different SSD.

  Link: [1st edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/E45t-cant-detect-Samsung-840-pro-SSD/td-p/503785]
  Link: [2nd edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/Switching-HDD-to-SSD-on-Satellite-S55-A5176-Problem/td-p/590778]

  The problem can be solved by changing a setting in the BIOS.

  [The SATA interface parameter] [enforcement] to [battery life].

  However, this workaround solution comes with a cost, which is performance.
  The SSD is able to transfer files at a speed of 500 MB/s.

  However, in this mode the SSD transfers files at 133 MB/s.
  I lose 4 x the speed of the SSD.

  In my view this problem in the BIOS.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  With sincere friendships.
  Arthur BOULELLI.

  I also discovered today that is not serious if I am running in mode UEFI BIOS (CSM).

  Combined with AHCI BIOS mode it takes [parameter] Interface SATA for battery life, otherwise the SSD is not recognized.

  The Toshiba using the latest firmware (to July 23, 2014), which is v1.70.
  The SSD is a Samsung 840 Evo and has the latest firmware, which is EXT0BB6Q.

  Given that the SATA interface is set to battery life, the SATA interface is set to SATA1, who of course tops out at 133 MB/s.

  For me, it is simply amazing that a laptop with a Core i7-4700MQ the year 2014 cannot detect an SSD SATA3.

  Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

• Portege R600-108 - the tool to run the TRIM command to improve the performance of SSDS

  Hello

  We have a couple of R600-108 with SSDS, they run Vista Business 32-bit.

  I was wondering if there is a utility I can download to run the TRIM command on drives to improve performance?

  Thank you

  James

  Hello

  To be honest I m not an expert in the increase in performance of the SSD, but according to the Wikipedia article, TRIM has been implemented in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and came out with the final versions of these operating systems in October 2009.
  It seems former SSD drives have firmware updates, otherwise the new command will be ignored.

  According to Wikipedia, there are utilities that can send TRIM commands manually.
  These utilities are available from various manufacturers such as Intel or G.Skill.
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/trim

  You can consult the Intel tool called "Intel Solid - State Drive Toolbox and Optimizer".

• Quick response requested: Optiplex 390 and SSD - Possible?

  The law firm I support plans on adding help 'temp' during a recent case and add several good jobs markets for this effort. Our local Microcenter (Denver) a lot of things on a lot of desktop Optiplex 390 SFF "refurb", and it's MY contention that one of the best things to do during the duration, is to equip each of the units 'up' for review with an SSD just as inexpensive, to maximize the performance and "value".  My question on this forum: CAN the Optiplex 390 "correctly" support an SSD (IE: ability to AHCI BIOs)? Otherwise, I can 'opt' for an Optiplex GX790 of even inexpensive, but they are available only in very limited numbers of our Microcenter, as well, my curiosity re: the Opti390 and an SSD.

  Input is requested on the 'ability' to support an SSD with the Optiplex 390...

  The 390 has Intel Express Chipset Sata 2.0 H61

  It does not support the Sata 3.0.

  Its core I3 or Core I5

  SSD will work SATA 2-speed and I don't know about Player settings in the bios.

  AHCI and advanced format requires F6 drivers for windows 7 and below.

  A bus adapter host as a 600 x 1 rocket series card you would get ahci sata 3.

• Best external SSD drive?

  Looking for a new external SSD drive. What are some of the best out there for the money?  Really need 1 TB or more.

  Thank you!

  The fastest and most effective will be a PCIe SSD installed in an enclosed.  Understand that serves as an external SSD, speed may be limited by the connection in use and you can not achieve the performance that the SSD is capable of.  The fastest connection to date is Thunderbolt2, which may or may not be fast enough (I just don't know).

• Configuration of the BIOS XW8600 for SSD and HDD

  Until recently, my xw8600 has been configured with the emulation of SATA under storage on the separate IDE controller Options.  250 GB hard drives connected to the SATA 1 and SATA ports 0 and readers of DVD RW Drive connected to 2 SATA and SATA 3 ports.

  I wanted to install a GTX240 Neutron Corsair SSD, but discovered when I changed the SATA RAID + DCIS emulation (to activate all 5 ports of SATA controller and optimize the performance of the SSD), the system could not find the boot drive.  I checked the startup command settings and found the slot drive HARD listed title module of memory into the attached USB printer HP Officejet 7500 a first and could not be changed.

  I decided to go back to SATA IDE emulation separate, remove the optical drive on SATA 2 port and attach the SSD it.  This facility is expected to start successfully; but after installing windows 7 x 64 on the SSD (Windows XP, x 64, still on the HARD drive), I found Windows 7 has been very very slow.

  Can anyone offer any suggestions or comments on how I can improve this situation?

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

  What is an installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit of a retail installation DVD purchase, or something HP?  If I remember well Vista 64 was the latest HP OS with sold.  In this case you won't have to deal with a set of HP restore disks.  I would never do an "upgrade" of a prior installation of OS in W7.  I only do not clean install W7 on a freshly long-type reformatted hard drive or an SSD.  I buy my "system builder" OEM license W7Pro 64 - bit DVD/COA from newegg.com (you can find that many sources and approximately 140.00 each).

  Plan to do a clean install on this SSD from scratch and when you format before that settle does long formatting version, while it is booted from the W7 DVD.  That will take some time.  Or, if you have a functioning before the OS install on a hard drive, you can restore the xw8600 you can connect the SSD in the second or third SATA port and reformat (long version) management of records like this.

  The boot drive or SSD, Spinner, must always be connected to the primary SATA port, which in these workstations, is usually blue plastic, while the rest are a dark black.

  Make sure that your BIOS is later... There was a version for this and the xw6600 with a few months ago.  It is an important.

  Put the SSD in your favorite mount, hang it in the main SATA port, prepare the W7 DVD in the DVD drive (which should be attached to the second port SATA or IDE cable if it's a DVD ATA drive). Throwing xw8600, go straight into the BIOS and go to which you can change the SATA emulation.  Change that on "RAID + AHCI.  Save on the way out of the BIOS, and the workstation will now reboot usually requiring formal approval of the change F1.

  Demarrer start on the DVD, select clean install and things will be fine.  I usually set my boot order to start hard drive/SSD first and second optical drive.  Then, when I load an OS I just use the F9 key during the early start to switch to the DVD player for this single event.

  It's the key information: If you have correctly set to "RAID + AHCI" SATA emulation for the W7 installation process, then the appropriate drivers will not be loaded from the DVD on the startup disk, and you won't receive anywhere near your expected speed.  I helped a friend who had done exactly what you did, and when we corrected things literally double SSD performance scores.  I recommend that the reformatting/clean reinstall from zero here, because you want to really perfect the basics and the way he was treated initially can leave you with a few important questions.

  After you have things working with the SSD and the DVD player you can add in your other material sequentially.  I would like to make a reboot between each addition, just be very careful.  Some old HP DVD drives have a problem with W764 loading during the emulation of the SATA BIOS is set correctly and there is a solution for this, but you don't want from now this info.

  All the advice I have written in this forum about the xw6400 installs apply to the xw6600 and xw8600, including information on the upgrades of the processor.

• Should I defragment HARD drive front of cloning of SSD?

  Hello everyone.

  I just bought a Pro Series Q SSD 256 GB 2.5.

  Now I want to clone my old HDD together at a new SSD using NTI Echo 3 to Toshiba.

  Should I defragment my HARD old disc before the cloning process (in this case, I wonder just about the best SSD performance and life expectancy, I dislike about the time of cloning).

  Disk defragmentation HARD impact positively on SSD performance in this scenario, or it will be irrelevant?
  I'd appreciate advice.

  Kind regards

  In my opinion, it is not necessary, but of course, it also will not affect the performance of the SSD...

• Portege R830 - model with SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I am considering buying a Portege R830. I've yet to decide between the Portégé R830-10R (model with HARD drive) and the Portégé R830 - 10 p (model with a 256 GB SSD). To do this, I would like to know:

  -What is the SSD model assembled in the Portégé R830?
  -It uses a standard SATA connection or an owner like the previous Portégé R700 SSD?
  -Have someone replaced the original HDD to the Portégé R830 by a whole new SATA 3 SSD? Wich one? It works fine?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi MadVet,

  The SSD of Portege R830 - 10 p is a model of Toshiba 2.5 so it does not work in Portege R830. In addition due to the 2.5 form factor it uses SATA standard interface as normal hard drives.

  In my opinion, you should take the model with SSD. 256 GB is enough for the operating system and applications as well as for some important data. If you need more disk external HARD disk space use. SSDS are very fast and you will see the performance of the SSD HARD drive instead ;)

• End 2011 15 "Macbook Pro SSD vs Hybrid SSD

  I have a MacBook Pro (15 inch, late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with a 750 GB SATA hard drive.

  Since the upgrade to El Capitan (and I even thought of this way with Yosemite) my computer has SLOWED down considerably. Start-up time takes a few minutes and a few process kill me they are so slow. I work a lot with biomedical research, Adobe Lightroom and Illustrator software and is considering an upgrade for my Macbook Pro.

  After reading about the upgrade to an SSD hard drive option, I came to a few questions:

  Should I give up the optical drive and replace it with a SSD while also keeping my current hard drive? An SSD hard drive hybrid?

  Is exchanging a better option than that on the current hard drive with an SSD or a hybrid?

  The ultimate goal is SPEED. I store most of my pictures and research on storage cloud or servers to work as long I have 250 to 500 GB hard disk space (more we're crazy), I'm glad. It is the speed I'm after.

  Upgrade memory would help me as well? What is worth?

  Thank you!

  For speed - SSD hands down. Hybrid hard drives do not have enough RAM flash to have the kind of impact the performance as an SSD. My experience is that people swear that by or swear systems that replace the optical drive with another drive. Personally, I would go with the largest affordable SSD and operate as the 500 GB SSD prices fell so much last year.

• NB305 and SSD

  I recently bought a NB305 for professional use (need for portability and battery life)

  I have a question about. I would like to install a 128 GB Kingston SSDNow V-Series Disc both improve performance and independence.

  My questions are, will this work SSD made?

  It will give me a decent increase in performance? (the SSD in my office are wonderful)

  It will improve the battery life?

  The reason why I ask what should otherwise be easy to answer the questions, is that specific data for the HDD and SSD cards are as follows:

  Hitachi HTS545025B9A300 (5K 500. (B) icurrently in my laptop drive:
  Power plug: writing/power 1.4W
  0.5W low idle power
  875 Mbps (109.38MBps)

  Kingston SSD now V Series SNV125-S2 / 128GB 2.5 ":"
  Active power Specs: 5.2 w (TYP)
  Sleep: 0.7W (TYP)
  Sequential speed *.
  ~ 1600Mbps (200 Mbit/s). read; 160 MB/sec writing.

  Now look at that the SSD is much faster, but seems to come at a cost: she uses more than 3 times the power!

  Can it be good? (and same idle is higher!)

  The numbers in a row are the Web sites of respective manufacturers / PDF files so you would think that they would be fairly accurate.

  Of course, the SSD almost twice as fast - but "apparently" uses more than three times the power!

  I look forward to any thoughts.

  See you soon,.
  Rick

  > My questions are, will this work SSD made?
  Why not? SSDS are no different from hard drives, I think you will need a SATA SSD since the NB300 series supports a SATA HDD controller

  > It will give me a decent increase in performance?
  Well, access to data should be faster and therefore you should see better performance but to be honest, the NB300 is a notebook where these small performance increases would not really important

  > Improve the battery life?
  Hmm perhaps but if yes then an improvement is not really noticeable since the disk HARD is not the main part which wastes the energy of the battery

• What Toshiba SSD can be used for Satellite U200

  Please could you recommend me a * Toshiba * SSD for my laptop satellite U200.
  You need 120 or 128 GB.

  It would include a migration (for example Acronis) tool to copy my HDD (80 GB) to a new SSD?

  Thank you!

  I guess most of the SSDS that support the SATA controller/interface would be compatible and should operate within this U200 series.

  But you won't get readers full SSD performance as most SSDS are faster than the speed of my HARD disk controller support.

  I assumed that the device supports common SATA I (150 MB/s) controller. The SSD supports SATA III or SATA II (300 MB/s). But SATA is compatible to the bottom. Therefore, you should be able to also use the disks SSD SATAII/III
