I can't install mSATA SSD?

• Can we now install mSATA SSD in our X230s we without voiding the warranty?

  If this has been discussed before on this forum that the installation of a device on a 230 X mSATA was a cancellation action guarantee (the part was ranked CSU instead of the former USSR).  And we in the USA had no possibility to have one installed at all.

  Now on the Lenovo site when I'm trying to configure an x 230, he said you can order an mSATA compatible one under different screen options.

  I ordered a week or two there, but that does not mean we can now install without cancel warrnaties?

  Anyone Lenovo have a notice on it?

  
  

• I can add install additional SSD on the S230U Twist HHD version?

  The price is very close to 128gSSD / 4 g/i5 and i7 / 8 g/320gHHD?
  Can I buy the latest version and install additional SSD by myself to get the best flexibility to upgrade?

  Hi, Woodennail

  Unfortunately this isn't possible without voiding the warranty. As evidenced by this page, the only parts that can be replaced by a user are the hard drive and the hard drive cover. Any other room, for example an mSATA SSD, must be installed or replaced by the staff of Lenovo.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

• Silence X 230: Swap HDD to SSD or install mSATA SSD HARD disk?

  Hello

  I have a x 230 with a 320 GB of HDD (7500 RPM) and want to replace it with an SSD for a fully automated machine.

  Right now, most of the time the only sound I hear the machine is the rotation of the disk HARD and TP Fancontrol watch that especially fans are not at all turns. I can afford a 128 GB SSD, but I am confused if I should replace the HDD with a SSD or complete with an mSATA SSD and install Windows, instead. The latter of course would give me 320 GB of HARD drive space, which would be nice, but my priority is the silence, so I need to know if the HARD drive can be powered completely except when I need files from it? If the HARD disk wakes up now and then because of some hidden Windows processes that I can't control, I'd rather than with an ordinary SSD instead of the mSATA SSD. I can live with less space.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  Thank you

  If you install your operating system and applications on the mSATA ssd and just use the HARD drive for file storage then I think the HARD drive will only turn up when you access these specific files.

  Control Panel (Power Options) and Lenovo Power Manager settings for the hard disk turns off after a period of inactivity. However, the settings apply to all readers. Individual hard drives have no separate settings. I think that the system will not shut down the drive hard as long as there is activity going on in an mSATA SSD.

• Can I use mSATA SSD with E120?

  It's my first day here and I am here you ask for your help.

  I have an E120 (3043-RV1; those with Pentium 967 inside) and I want to know if I can use WWAN slot to install an mSATA SSD or not.
  In fact, I spoke with a Lenovo technician on the phone today and he said "It is available" and in fact, he proved E320 to work.
  However, I found someone thread in another forum, that showed me that the person has no function Nocti OCZ 64 GB in sound.
  This uncertainty makes me hesitate to buy an mSATA SSD (I'll buy MyDigitalSSD from abroad).

  Could someone please help me figure it out?

  It's actually the opposite, if E120 does not mention the mSATA function, then it is not there. and I don't see all the documents mention the mSATA feature the E120.

• Can I install an ssd and its system of MacBook Pro mid-2010 on a Mac Pro mid 2009

  Hello

  My MacBook Pro just died yesterday (logic board) and I want to install the SSD with the system on a Mac Pro.

  I just ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine.

  I wonder if I can boot directly from this SSD or if I do the previous setting in the system.

  Given that the Mac is able to run the latest version of Mac OS X, and you want to move the SSD for older Mac rather than new, it should work. I guess that saying you 'ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine' you mean connecting via USB rather than internally, which would be a great test.

  If it works, I would say running the combo for OS update comes on the SSD once it is installed in the older Mac.

• can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

  I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

  (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

  2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

  My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

  Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  •4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

  Hello

  Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

  1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
  2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
  3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
  4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
  5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
  6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
  7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

  The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.

• Can I install an SSD in a Pavilion DV9925NR

  I want to improve the performance of this laptop and thought it would be useful that I went with an SSD. I put one in and if I can exactly what I look for in an SSD that will work in this phone?

  Also now I have 4 GB of ram, I can improve to 8?

  Thank you

  Its actually the original SATA aka SATA-I (150 MB/s) and yes it will work to use a SATA-III... All SATA is backward compatible. Think of it as a hard drive... you can use any 2.5 inches in width and 7 or 9 mm thick SATA SSD. Windows 7 includes the storage controller you need: just install and he knows an SSD when he sees one, and optimize it.

  If you are really looking for a concert of good sale 250 that SSD are now right at $100. Even if the laptop dies, I guess you can always reuse the SSD.

• Can I install an ssd m2 in a VN7 Aspire 591 G (Nitro)?

  Canadian who do not come with SSD, but I would like to install an and I wonder if its possible. If so, what size should it be?

  I found this: "well, first of all: the m2 in the VN7 - 591 G Groove is 'only' SATA, PCIe is not supported, because as far as I know.» Maybe (but I don't know who) the PCIe will work, but even in this case only with mSATA-speeds, so it's just a waste of money. just the motherboard does not support the PCIe m2.

• 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.

• bootable mSata SSD on V5 573 G

  Hello

  I am owner of a V5 74508G1Takk 573G (with Geforce 720 m)

  Given that it is a bit different from the other 573G I see here (with Geforce 750 m), I would like to ask for confirmaton I have 1 x mSata.

  Also, I tried if I can do the mSata SSD bootable and it seems is not possible (see link). Can someone help me to clarrify that?

  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_V5-573G

  Thank you.

  Yes you can.

  After you have installed the mSata, clone your HARD drive for it. Remove the HARD drive, go to the Bios and make the mSata the first boot device, save the settings, close the Bios and start. After it is good boot, reinstall the HARD drive and format it for whatever your remove windows out of it.

• X 220 mSATA SSD & Questions ExpressCard

  Hi all

  I want to take my first ever thinkpad X 220 for the last two months and I love it. She is beautiful and powerful machine.

  The machine's high-end x 220 series. The only thing missing is an SSD.

  1. a card Ericsson GSM/GPS system. This means, so I can't install mSATA?

  2. I would like to replace my HDD with SSD. What other other than that of you lenovos SSD tested successfully and help? Lenovo SSD's are * beep * expensive.

  3. what 54 mm expresscardis are useful for me? I would like to increase storage. What brand/model do you recommend?

  I have also noticed the screen light bleeding. This isn't annoys me a lot. But I've seen much complaining about this. Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thanking you in advance.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The X 220 has two locations of MiniPCIe , accepting a "full-height" card which is ~ 51 mm long.  The other accepts a "half-height" card, which is about 28 mm long.  In X 220, the low-profile connector contains the Wi - Fi adapter (wireless 802.11n), while the slot full height contains the WWAN (3 G modem) adapter.

  The slot full height on the X 220 is designed to install a MiniPCIe or mSATA card.  I don't know if the low-profile slot will recognize an mSATA card.  If you want to use an mSATA SSD in your X 220, you need to remove the map of Ericsson GSM/GPS.  You can then use something like a 3G hotspot for connectivity.

  The 220 has a X drive Bay 2.5 "hard, but this Bay only accepts a high 7 mm, not the more common drive 9.5 mm high readers.  There are, however, many hard disk (up to 500 GB, 7200 RPM) and solid state Drive (up to 600 GB) that go into the drive Bay.  I haven't used a 7mm high SSD before, but have seen some for sale on the web site of the American retailer NewEgg.

  I used a Wintec 48 GB ExpressCard SSD in my W510 for storage and it has worked well, although it hot after being in the system for a while.  64, 96 and 128 GB models are now available as well.  I guess these work identically in the 220 X, but I don't think they are bootable.  Here are the 34mm card rack, then you want to get a small plastic wedge that fills in the rest 20mm if that open is a problem.  You could also install an ExpressCard/54 location with ports USB 3.0 or eSATA for connecting external storage.

• Satellite U400 - 12 p and mSATA SSD

  I have the Satellite U400 - 12 p.
  The motherboard has two free slots miniPCI if they install mSATA SSD OCZ AC Nocti - MSATA - 120G, for example in these slots?

  I agree with Akuma. Satellite U400 is old enough laptop model and its standard SATA port, you cannot use reader with connector mSATA (mini-SATA).
  the mSATA discs are smaller and designed for use on the netboos and ultraportable notebooks.
