HARD drive speed limited to 20 MB/s in T60.

Hello!
My problem is that my HDD (HITACHI HTS541680J9SA00 (80 GB)) has limited the speed to 20 MB/s.
Screenshot of HD TUNE:

S.M.A.R.T. is OK!

I have the latest driver for the controller SATA of Intel ICH7-M (9.1.9.1004).

As you can see speed is normal for this drive, so there is something wrong in Windows (no BIOS)!

Why is it limited?

See you soon!

This sentence is wise, but I fixed it in decrypting my HARD drive. Yes, TrueCrypt limited my hard drive... Now, transfers are normal for this HARD drive (average of 38 MB/s).

  • Discover the usb hub and my hard drive speed.

    I would like to ask in this forum. I have a Seagate 1 TB external hard drive backup more USB 3.0. First when I bought the transfer speed still very well and I don't worry. After a few months, my data put in also increased as much time to something else as long as it is important to keep. The problem is that my hard drive now transfer data as slow as a snail. There just get 1 Mbps of transfer speed (only in my laptop, in all the hub in my laptop). When I plug it into another computer, it's fine running at 20 and 40 MB/s as normally as USB 2.0 wired hub. Another hard drive that plugged into my laptop works very well, so I guess that only my hard drive is never play well with my laptop, so that they begin to work ppliquee. I searched many tutorials that help me to solve the problem, but no one worked for me.

    Is it possible to solve my problem as something to change or update?

    You have a lot of questions here. Firstly, Yes, the connector of the drive hard eBay is the right and it will work on any SATA including SSD drive. I think the DV9500 and more it is SATA 2 (3 gb/s) interface, but it's not really important. A 60 GB SSD will not be enough space.

    HP does not have updates of driver for this machine for quite a while. I wouldn't too much stock in these update pilot programs that you download from the Internet. Indeed, they often contain spyware that could explain why you have high CPU utilization. If you can give me the exact model number or at least tell me if it is an AMD or Intel version we can get better drivers. The pilots of two wholesale to be aware of are the chipset and video drivers. If you have the AMD driver chipset nVidia processor must be specifically responsible. Windows it will not pick up. You definitely need at least 4 GB of RAM, and Yes, you use the DDR2-800 SO-DIMM. Also, you should install 64-bit Windows 7.

    Hello.

    According to the specifications of your motherboard, you have 2 ports SATA - 1xSATA I and II 1xSATA, so if you choose, you can add another hard drive and have two separate storage locations. However, remember that I have the speed SATA port will be limited to 1.5 Gb/s, which is the maximum speed available SATA I can reach.

    Regarding a specific hard drive that I can recommend, because you want to run applications from the secondary storage unit, you can check WD Black, which is a performance oriented HARD drive with limited 5-year warranty and has good features like a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking , or WD Blue, which is intended for the calculation of daily and he is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming.

  • A hard drive SATA 3.0 GB will work on my HP Pavilion dv9500 Notebook?

    My C: drive is dead. Fortunately, it was a 500 GB replacement drive, and I kept the old 160 GB disk that came with the unit. I reinstalled the old drive C: and after some hassles (and 55 Microsoft Updates) it works OK, although slowly.

    NewEgg offers a 750 GB drive at 7200 RPM for $109.95 (free delivery). Should be bigger and faster, but it's a SATA 3.0 GB. Now peri drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500 GB SATA and it worked fine until it didn't. But I don't know if "3.0 GB" is a speed, a boast or maybe a new spec that does not work on my HP Pavilion dv9500 notebook for 3 years.

    Any information will be appreciated!

    Hello

    Do not expect a bump of a SATA 3.0 hard drive speed. Disk transfer rates will be limited by the current SATA interface speed in the DV9500. Linear track density (bits per channel) is another factor with a flow of transfer rate.  I used a SATA 3 SSD in my DV9700t and he has added a significant performance improvement.

    Bottom line: a SATA II drive can perform as well in your laptop.  If you want more speed, then install a device of solid state (SSD).

    You could try a HDD diagnosis to ensure that you do encounter hardware problems.

  • Portege 7200 - HARD drive upgrade

    I have a Portege 7200. It was just given to me. There is therefore no documentation or manuals.
    I'm interested in upgrading his old 4 GB HARD drive to something more modern. Can someone tell me what could be done to it? I mean - if standard 2.5 "HDD is Ok, is there a limitation of the motherboard/BIOS card as to the maximum size, etc.. ?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page;
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/home.do?service=EU&from=http%3A//www.Toshiba-Europe.com/

    Here, you should go to support downloads & -> user manual for Toshiba.
    In the upload form, you must choose;
    Archive-> Portege Archive-> Portege 7xxx--> Portege 7200

    Maybe you will find some info in the user manual.

    But I want to provide some details too.
    To my knowledge, several versions of BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. I mean that not every size of HARD drive is supported.
    I have goggled a bit and discovered that the Toshiba MK1214GAP HARD drive can be used with the Portege 7200. It s a 12 GB HARD drive that supports ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4 interface.

    Maybe you could test it.

    Hello

    There is certainly a HARD drive size limitation the point is that the BIOS supports all HARD drive sizes and to be honest I don t think a 25GB HDD would go 0.
    I think it s all just too big

    Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't provide details about the possible HARD drive s max

  • Satellite A30: Question on the new hard drive

    The hard drive on the computer that the above has failed. When formatting the system hangs at 70%. When you run a utility to recover the hard drive again, it fails at 70%.

    I would have taken it would not be a problem, but there is no way to change the settings in the Bios, the Bios auto detects the drive when it is mounted?
    When mounting the hard drive can it be introduced inside the access panel on the back of the laptop or the entire back should be deleted?

    Thank you
    Keith.

    Yes, the BIOS must allow and recognize the HARD drive automatically.

  • Satellite L20-182 (PSL2XE) & 120 GB HARD drive upgrade

    HELO :)

    I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and I think that about 120 GB but I.m not sure if it works in my L20-182 (PSL2XE). The user manual says:
    + "Available in four sizes: 40, 60, 80 and 100 GB." Other drives may adopted in the future. "+ Is - anyone of you tried to put 120 GB? It work? Need BIOS update?

    wooytson

    Hello

    The user manual says that you can use up to 100GB HDD for sure.
    I think the tough have not been tested on this notebook L20 and it seems that we can only speculate whether it is possible or not.

    The problem is that the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. So not all HARD drive sizes are supported. In the worst cases, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD disc.

    However, I think that you can test. There is a great chance that a 120 GB might work properly!

  • Speed up the options for an old HP a1224n. The upgrade possible CPU or HARD drive?

    My a1224n is stuck in programs such as Rhapsody and ITunes run.  I have 4 teenagers with mp3 players, and it seems that more they get, slow tracks of the machine.  Under XP SP3, motherboard is 3 goldfish with a LGA775 socket.  I have all the RAM pushed in there, I can get.  It is not a problem of spyware, I clean, degrag and regedit regularly, firmer all the essential background programs.  It was a long introduction to my question, which is: would changing the CPU or install a higher speed of disk HARD save me, or am I wasting time?  If so, what limits me on the selection of a CPU?  This is a speed of frontside motherboard, socket or something else (I know heat load and the processor speed max are issues).  ... Change my hard drive or install a second hard drive?  I would replace the current 200 GB 7200 rpm HDD with a 600 10 k RPM HARD drive, or simply add a second HD and empty all my media files?  A lot of questions, can't find someone who knows the answers.  Need help.  Here are some indications of the fact sheets: processor Intel Pentium 4 519 (P), 3.06 GHz, 533 MHz front bus, Socket 775.  Motherboard: ASUS LRTP-(3 fish red-GL8E), the front bus at 800 MHz, chipset northbridge 915GV, southbridge Intel ICH6.

    Hello:

    If you have installed 4 GB of DDR PC3200, then if you install used without work, processor Pentium 4 650 3.4/800/2M I think you will see a notable improvement on your current configuration.

    I can't guarantee this will work, but I'm sure it will, based on the information below.

    If you don't have PC2700, your memory performance will suffer with the 800 MHz FSB P4 650 processor.

    Attached are the specs of your motherboard:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00361570

    I have a dc7100 with the same chipset, so I'm pretty sure that a P4 650 will work in your. I have a P4 640 (3.2 GHz) I got it for free, so I installed which instead of the 650. If I were to buy one, I would have bought the 650. I installed a P4 650 in a Dell Dimension 4700 with the same Intel 915 chipset. Works great! I upgraded the Dell of a P4 520 to 650 2.8/800/1M and this was a significant improvement. You would increase by nearly 400 MHz and 266 Mhz FSB speed.

    HP has drivers for PC for Windows Vista and Windows 7 64-bit. The only processors that can work with an OS that is supported with the chipset 915, 64 bits are P4 6xx processors. So, I guess that your PC supports processors P4 6xx up to 3.4 GHz, as shown in the plug from motherboard.

    You can get a P4 650 used but works for less than $25 on eBay.

    I do not see an update of the BIOS that requires support new processors, so you should be good to go.

    If your HARD drive is less than 60% full, I see no need for an additional HARD drive. I don't even know if the computer supports a 10 K rpm HARD drive.  I don't know if your machine's HARD drive controller supports SATA II HDD's 3.0 GB/S transfer speeds. I don't think he does.  So no matter what HARD drive you buy would go to 1.5 GB/S SATA transfer speed and you could you jumper the drive for this work.

    The main disadvantage that I see on your PC, it is impossible to install a PCie graphics adapter. Your integrated graphics (GMA900) will not work the graphics of Windows Aero in Windows 7 or Vista. It is not a show-stopper, but a lot of people have improved their PC / laptop computers equipped with the integrated GMA 900 graphics card just for this discover later and were very disappointed. If you were able to install a PCIe graphics card, say a cheap 8400GS 512 MB fanless nVidia card, it would have released a memory embedded amount and you would have noticed an improvement even more.

    So, for an investment of $25 in a P4 processor 650 you could squeeze a few more horses (no pun intended) out of it.

    Other than that, I would look to buy a new PC / opportunity made from 2008. They should all be able to Windows 7 because they would have been Windows Vista capable in 2008.

    I hope this helps.

  • Mini Mac server - attachment of external hard drives file transfer speed

    Hi guys!

    I wanted to increase the speed and storage capacity to transfer to my Mac mini file, so I bought a box of external hard drives. The one I bought is: http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=219

    Built-in the Mac mini hard drives transfer the file to 60 MB/s (writing and reading) and I wanted to get better speed of file transfer, so I bought an SSD that is going to be inside with an another HARD drive of 3 TB for archiving my files. The housing is connected by USB3.0 (5 Gb/s) for the Mac mini.

    [SSD-> files I opened every day] - speed around 550 MB/s write and 500 MB/sec in reading

    [HDD-> Archives, files that I have does not open very often] - speed around 150 MB/s write and 150 MB/sec in reading

    So I did some benchmarks on my new Setup, and the speed is not really what I expected. Transfer of file max speed I have achieved is about 100 MB/sec in writing on the external SSD plugged into the mac mini. This transfer has been filed since an iMac 21 "2011 with an SSD (with almost the same speed read/write than the box) so it's quite disappointing.

    It is possible that the Mac has a 'file transfer speed limit' is somewhere? Or whatever else that could affect that?

    More information on my setup:

    Mac Mini server 2012 - 2 TB RAID 1 - Mac OSX 10.9.5

    iMac 21 "2011 - Crucial SSD 275 Gb - Mac OSX 10.9.4

    IcyDock external enclosure - 4 bays, USB3 5 Gb/s

    -Red WD HDD 3To

    -Crucial SSD 1 TB

    Together internal Gigabit Ethernet network

    Thank you!
