• Compatibility M.2 SanDisk SSD X 400 with new XPS 8900 and cloning issues

  I just got a new 8900 XPS running and ordered a Sandisk X 400 1 TB SATA III M.2 drive for her.  I know, adding that a PCIE SSD with adapter would be much faster.  But I'm not a gamer and concentrate more on edge backup and storage.  And the new Sandisk card gets good reviews and should give a nice speed boost.  This will be my first attempt at cloning of a new boot disk and install an SSD.  I went through the forum and found some good information.  A few questions...

  One of the sons said that an SSD with the B and M keys (like this one) may not work.  Searching the Web I found no comments from anyone who has tried this particular SSD in a new XPS desktop.  No compatibility issues?

  Another thread has been posted problems with starting the XPS 8900, when you add a new disk, but the updated BIOS to 2.1.3 seemed to be the solution.  I confirmed that my machine already has this version of BIOS.  Once again, any concerns?

  My plan is to clone again SSD in the computer using Acronis or other software, then set as the boot drive in BIOS.  Is there a reason to delete the operating system of the C: drive, thereafter, or can just stay as a backup if problems occur with the SSD?

  I have already installed a few programs including MSOffice 2007 and Windows Essentials, so I can use the machine, but otherwise it is always very clean.  When I do the clone will be these OK execution since the SSD without much messing around?  And they will have to be uninstalled from the HARD drive?

  Thank you!

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  I'll answer some of my own questions.  The M400 Sandisk SSD drive arrived today and I found a screw M2x4 at Ace Hardware to install it with.  Installation was super simple.  I used a pair of pliers to hold the small screws in place and then a Jewelers screwdriver to fix it.

  He seemed to take more time for the first start that made me nervous, but all loaded without any problems.  I rebooted and that you press F2 to get into the BIOS and the new SSD was there!  And then let the computer loads Windows and checked Device Manager and it's still there!

  As expected the reader not yet appear in Windows because it was not formatted.  I used under Computer Management disk management to initialize the disk.  And now I have a new drive I: 935 GB free.

  So far so good.  Seems like the M400 Sandisk should work perfectly.

  Next step is to clone.  Always blazing new territory for me... when the drive is cloned it will remain I: or it will be C:?

• Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal

  My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.

  I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.

  The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.

  I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
  Could you give me a link for such adapter?

  The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).

  There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
  The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.

  In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
  This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profile

  I'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available

• Unrecognized internal SSD drive

  Having an Office ATC-605-ur19 w / HDD included.   Added an additional internal Sandisk SSD more (120 GB).

  The device is recognized by both the BIOS and appears in ther Device Manager (if the Type is "Unknown", the State is 'uninitialized', Partition style is 'not applicable').

  However, it is not assigned a drive letter and I can't access it at all. It seems that the drivers are up to date.   Any suggestions on what is the problem?

  Ok.  I'll give you two ways to set up your SSD.  The first way is an easy way and should work.  I tried the easy way and had a bit of trouble, so I ended up doing hard more (your time) way.

  Easy way:

  1. turn off your computer and unplug the power supply and unplug your HDD 500 GB SATA power cable (very important).

  2. make sure that your new SSD is ready (power and sata connected SATA data cable).

  3. Insert your USB recovery drive

  4. start your computer and the Acer screen, press delete on your keyboard to access your BIOS.

  5 go into your BIOS to activate "Boot Menu" and then save and quit (I think it's F - 10 to save and exit, but do not remember)

  6. when your computer starts, the Acer screen press F - 12 to get the boot menu.

  7. Select your USB recovery drive.

  8. Select troubleshooting and put your pc and when it asks if you want to re-partition on the SSD, say yes

  My advice is don't reconnect your 500 GB drive which can complicate things until you decide what you want to do with it.  And then I can help you with that.

  I would like to know if the easy solution does not work and I'll give you the long way.

• Cannot see the SanDisk SSD

  I don't know that it is already in the forums several places!  Just bought an SSD over 240 GB.  Before connecting the drive, I made sure all drivers and BIOS on the Dell Latitude E6410 have been updated.  SSD placed more USB 3.0 drive housing and connected.  Saw NO disc in drive Windows manager (for example, my computer).  Downloaded and ran SanDisk dashboard and there it was!  Downloaded and executed the Apricorn software to clone drive free, and I got was pilot error.  Drive never copied passed 50%, and for each entry, there is an equal number of write errors!  So I stopped the process clone Apricorn and re-directed, with the same results.  Now, except for reports of dashboard from SanDisk that there is no attached SanDisk SSD!

  What's wrong?  Where at - it go?  How can I get that back?

  Download Macrium Reflect, he could see the SSD and clone SSD HARD drive.  Worked well.  The use as I write this.  Cannot explain what happened or why, but the problem is resolved.

• 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).

• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• How to move iTunes to support SSD drive on secondary disk files

  Hello

  I think the title pretty much everything said. My SSD drive app fills and although I have three drives in my desktop Mac PRO somehow the artwork & mobile apps are like 20 gigs. The music files are in a secondary drive. What is the best way to move all the files to support the HUGE secondary disk so I don't understand all of a sudden the dreaded exclamation point?

  Thank you

  Enio

  10.11.4 running

  In essence, you must keep the support files in the folder as the iTunes music files, then let iTunes knows where they are located.

  It is better than the iTunes folder everything will be moved to the external drive, not just the music and media files. The link below is instructions on how to do it properly. You "partially" here, but you should still be able to follow them, to make the move.

• Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

  Hello

  Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

  BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

  After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

  Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

  What could be the problem?

  > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

  You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

  From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

  I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
  If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.

• Satellite R630 - 11L - sometimes did not recognize the SSD drive

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite R630 - 11L and I just bought a Corsair F120 SSD for her, but my laptop a few times did not recognize the SSD drive and fails to start occurs. I searched on the Internet concerning the issue, but there are any topic related to my problem. in recent days, I have updated my bios but the problem remains. for example if I put the computer to sleep and he never wake ups as it should be. the blue windows screen 7 failure comes and an error message 'could not access the windows volume. If portable succesful started without problem occurs until I reeboot the computer. so most of the time I have to restart computer about 5 - 6 times to work normal. At the same time, I opened a topic on the corsair website. They told me to test my drive on another computer, so I test it on laptops, dell and hp to my friends, but there is no any problem don't like this.

  So I test my ssd on an another toshiba laptop R630 which has a different hardware configurations, the problem remains that laptop too...

  So I think toshiba may provide a bios update to fix this problem. This laptop really great, so I don't want to buy another.

  y at - it advice to solve this problem?

  concerning

  Hi machka,.

  > I think that here is the toshiba support forum. is not here?
  Here he s a Toshiba forum, that of right, but you can only chat with normal users like you and me. You will not find someone from Toshiba here.
  The forum is provided Toshiba but for Toshiba users to exchange experience on different products.

  So I think that the Quad is just. No one can say that every SSD is compatible with all computers. You need to understand this!
  There are hundreds of different players and computers on the market and I m sure that no one can test a new computer with all SSD on the market. This is not possible, because it takes a lot of time and more expensive laptops that I think.

  So if the SSD doesn't work, there is nothing that you can wait for the BIOS update.
  Otherwise, you must purchase another SSD. Alternatively, you can ask a service provider allowed in your country, maybe that technicians have already experience with some SSD in Satellite R630. Just ask for that, they are the first contact for you! :)

• Conversion of SSD drive for the reader to boot on m7 with Win8

  I just bought a new m7-j020dx (product code E4S19UA #ABA) with Windows 8 from Best Buy.  Unfortunately, it came with a standard hard disc (HDD), and I would like to install a Solid State Drive (SSD).  I have an Intel 320 and 530 series-reader.  But I was not able to get a bootable from that disc.

  The first thing I tried was cloning the drive to plant on a new disk of 530 series using AOMEI Backupper.  I got an error writing on the partition of the third.  I thought that maybe the drive was bad, so I tried again with an Intel 320 series SSD drive.  Same mistake.

  The next attempt was to clone the disk to another disk of 1 TB (connected via USB), reduce the main partition with MiniTool and clone of the 320 series SSD.  The cloning went well.  However, with the new installed SSD, the computer will not start, and I get "Error0x0000225", something about a file not found.  Disable "secure starting" in the BIOS setup has not helped (I did after the clone).

  So I thought I would do a clean install of win 8.  I generated a recovery on a 32 GB USB SanDisk player disc using Win8 recovery disk generator (as indicated on the site of HP).  I then ran the program of recovery out of the USB drive and after a few hours of software installation driver and several reboots, I get a message from HP, indicating that the installation was not complete.  Reinstall did not help.

  I don't know what the problem is.

  What the recovery disk USB one made from the original bad HARD drive (we get only a single shot at it)?  Do I need media of the order of HP on disks?  Are there problems with the use of SSDS on those computers?  Should I not a BIOS settig correctly (UEFI)?  Is there some Intel storage drivers clutter it?

  I think my next step will be to create a disc Image and place it on the SSD drive.  But I doubt that this solves the problem with the start to it.

  Another option might be to build fresh using Win8 media, then download and install each driver from the HP website.

  Any ideas out there in the land of the experts?

  Thank you, erico, for advice.

  I tried this with 320 (160 GB) series and SSD 530 series (120 GB and 240 GB).  Actually, I have not tried on the 240GB again, just two other. . The 240 GB SSD is the best candidate. During cloning, using a larger SSD is the best for worms down the road when other programs are installed.

  So far, I've done everything suggested this that caramel:

  -Updated the BIOS for later: F.43. 03/01/2014 (HP support site).

  -Installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology v. 12.9.0.1001 (taken from the Intel site).

  -Updated the firmware of the 530 series 120 GB using Intel SSD Toolbox v2.0.10 of 06/20/2013 (from Intel).

  -The series 160 GB 320 firmware was up to date.

  -Installed the Data Migration Software Intel v. 2.0, dated 29/04/2013 (taken from the Intel site).

  -Updated environmental Support UEFI v5.3.3.0 dated 26/09/2013 (on the HP support site)

  -Enabled secure boot.

  Even using Data Migration tool Intel did not work.  Before Support UEFI environment, data migration tool would go to the step to reset but does not start what whether manually or to another.  Support UEFI environment, the software says simply "Operation failed." Following the manual data migration softwarecan be a bit tricky. There are a few things about the bootind of the Acronis loader * which must be carefully designed for the operation to succeed.  Intel also has a forum which can help as well.

  
  

  When I hit F10 and in the Configuration of the system, the Intel RST is not available.  So I suspect there is something not right here. The suggestion of updating the BIOS of caramel didn't across before it was made. It was not necessary and therefore not a good plan. I suggest that you use the Diagnostics UEFI and rollback to the previous BIOS. If you need advice with those just let me know. I have a few images that should show you what you should see. 

  A number of things, I noticed I did upgrades:

  -The site of HP support for my computer has Intel Rapid Storage Technology 12.0.7.1002 v, dated 30/06/2013 is earlier than on the Intel site.  Maybe I should roll back. That must be rolled back to the version shipped by HP. I see you introduced makes as stated in a previous post.

  -The HP support site has two distinct "RST", storage technology products a quick and a quick start technology.

  Intel has "RST" next to their rapid storage technology, so I might be confused.  I have installed the driver of the technology of quick start on the HP support site so if it is not already on the computer, perhaps it is not running and is the "RST" which is the missing piece.  In fact, same caramel said I need fast boot technology driver and then linked to download Rapid Storage Technology driver. Do not pay attention to what it says caramel.

  Here are two of the same?  Support site of HP with two drivers and version numbers, I suspect not.   Any ideas would be useful.  They are indeed different.

  The Intel Rapid Storage Technology softpaq sp61600.exe driver provides NCQ (native command qeueing) features for the SATA controller.

  The Intel Rapid storage Technology driver softpaq sp61325.exe is supposed to improve the SSD or mSATA consumption of hibernation and also imrove the resume from hibernation.

  You can't even consider installing either softpaq to clone the drive. It is always better to keep things simple.

  The SATA cable USB you use has two connectors usb at one end?  It is necessary to provide enough power for the SSD for data migration is not. Connect each usb connector to a different usb port.

• dm1z-3000 | SSD drive not found when cleaning Windows Installer

  Greetings-

  Had this dm1z-300 in recent years. Works like a charm to destination (navigation, messaging, presentations). Wanted to inject some new life into it. Bought a 120 GB SanDISK SSD. Out of the old HD (5400 RPM SATA 3), SSD format on another machine (NTFS) before falling in the dm1z. Restarted with Windows 7 Pro Installer on USB. At through the early stages of Setup very well, but once he gets to the part of installation actually (i.e., where it starts to copy the files), I am told that "no hard drive have been found.

  Drive is fine (tested using case of external hard drive on a couple of machines), so it's not the drive. Controller is fine, since everything works great if I put the old drive back in place.

  So, what's the problem? Tried to jump into the BIOS to see if there was anything I needed to "change", but the BIOS on this machine is lower even rudimentary - there nothing I can find that transforms a HD (or most other devices, by the way), works.

  Suggestions?

  [SOLVED]

  1\ put an SSD drive in the machine

  2 started GParted Live

  3\ astonished all the partitions on the SSD drive - in other words, returend it completely unallocated State

  4 restarted with the installer of Windows 7 on USB - which is now the disc.

  So, apparently, formatting the drive * before * trying the Windows installation is causing problems. Of course, your results may vary.

  Now, just to tweak the settings on the SSD, but at least I had a limiting step rather key (difficult to install a BONE when he does not see the drive!  ;-)
