How to install msata in Ideapad Y580?

Can anyone provide a step by step instructions how install the msata ssd in the Y580?

I got my lenovo Y580 with a 1 TB HARD drive and I want to add the ssd msata for caching purposes only.

Thank you.

THIS IS APPLICABLE ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIGURING YOUR SSD AS A CACHE CONFIGURATION.

The msata SSD used is MyDigitalSSD 64 GB 50 mm Bullet Proof mSATA SSD - MDM-5064.

I read a number of threads in the net regarding installing the msata SSD in their Y580 Lenovo. Intel Rapid Storage Tech (TSRI) does not work and it is not applicable to Y580, because the "Accélération" function is missing.

Here are the steps below:

-backup all your files and create a bootable disc just in case where it will fail.

-Install the msata in the slot. You can access at the back of your laptop by opening the cover 2 holes in the back.

-set the bios to AHCI and not compatible.

-Start windows.

-Download the software "VeloSSD" trial from softpedia 2.0.0.7 and do not update to 2.0.1.1 or newer version. Note that the velossd 2.0.0.7 works well with my system. However the latest version will prompt me with the error. I have already asked the support for this software because of the problem I'm having.

-start and configure the software, but the limitation of the software is only up to 32GB. However, when you buy it for $9.99, you can set a larger cache size.

-FACT-

Now with my current setup of Y580, I can boot windows 7 within the 35secs from optimizer to start EA.

  • How to install Windows from the recovery in mSATA SSD partition?

    Hi all

    I intend to install mSATA SSD on my ThinkPad E420 soon. My laptop comes with the recovery partition in the hard drive. How to install Windows on the SSD drive?

    I am familiar with the WIndows installation of optical media, but never to the recovery partition (which I assume where is the installer of Windows).

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards

    Hello

    Sorry, I have no idea on how to install directly from a separate to another drive, but you may want to check this . You will need 1 CD (start) and a 4.7 GB DVD (data) because Lenovo recovery adds all this bloatware in factory settings.

    That said, if you want a clean install, use the Windows disk (in case you do not have the same edition, you can download it legally from the net, google it) and your OEM key for activation.

    I don't think that you can install Windows 7 with Boot Camp on El Capitan:

    • A Microsoft Windows installation media or disc image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 or later *.

    From: How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

    Windows 10 is simply too new for your Mac, and Windows 7 is too old. It is quite a difficult situation. If you really need Windows, you would need to get a copy of Windows 8, or put to level to an earlier version of Mac OS X with a version of Boot Camp that works in Windows 7.
