Impossible to update firmware or to TRIM on Solid State Drive

I installed an SSD of 530 Intel via the SATA port on my Dell Dimension 8300 and downloaded the Intel Toolbox. He tells me that my system is in IDE mode, and so I can't update the firmware. Without an update, I can't run the TRIM function. I have the version of the BIOS A03 and I can't find a switch for IDE/AHCI mode. Can anyone help? DM

There is a BIOS A07 you can try, but this system is about ten years and was one of the first systems to support SATA.  Many of them were built with SATA to IDE bridges, which means that they are not capable of real operation SATA AHCI - if this option is not there in A07, this means that your system cannot run in real mode SATA because of the architecture of bridge.

Windows 7 and upwards is no need for TRIM - only XP and do it earlier, so if you don't have XP, it's yet another reason to get rid of it and upgrade (the other is support for XP ended on April 9, 2014, so there will be new updates of security for her).

    Hello

    It shouldn't be a big problem to upgrade the laptop with an SSD.
    The device supports a common SATA interface and controller, so usual 2.5 SATA SSD drive should work fine.

    Before that you need to replace the HARD drive, I recommend the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk or (and) a USB stick recovery support.
    It s advisable to create both in case your USB memory key would be a mistake (or disk)

    Hello almac7, it seems that your system must be able to withstand a SSD hard drive. You may need an adapter to install the player in a Bay 3.5 inches.

    Given that the SSD is a new parent and the ever-evolving technology, it would be difficult to recommend one disc rather than another.

    They all seem to have their positive and negative characteristics.

    You also need Windows 7 as operating system, with the support of the Trim function now on most of the SSDS.

    Here is a link for the specifications of your system. It shows that there are six sata (ports) for readers. It also shows that the system was delivered with two 500 GB hard drives. These discs can be in a Raid0 configuration. You will need to reconnect these drives to other ports, and then connect the SSD to port0.

    I have search for comparisons of different brands and models and determine what brand and model, and price range would be tailored to your needs.

  • RE6500 impossible to update firmware

    Hi all

    I scanned this forum but could not find anything related to my question. I took a glance at my years around 2 old RE6500 and it seems to work on the old firmware v1.01.01. FTR, Extender has been setup and works somewhat OK for awhile now.

    I have "connected to extender via CAT5 cable and tried to update its firmware to the latest version using the web INTERFACE. This unfortunately does not work. It looks like, it begins to download a .bin file but then stops at 1%. Progress bar never moves either. I waited for a long time and then restarted, it and there is no trace of the new firmware on it. Try with tftp.exe he had just timeout as well. I'm on Windows 10 here. Tried the update it several times with Chrome and IE11 does not. This is the first time what stock firmware has refused to be updated like that for me.

    I would be grateful for any help or suggestion. Thank you.

    Hi, SM05! Try to Flash the firmware on this link. You can also use another computer to isolate this challenge. If the same thing happens, reset the range extender and try to update the firmware again.

    and then nothing happens.

    I tried several different computers with attached disks and not attached to the controller.

    In fact I just managed to update my latest firmware A10 H310 card using this guide which has a download link to all the necessary files in a convenient zip. :)

  • Impossible to update firmware (CM1410) 20131028 - no RFU on Service menu CM1415fnw

    I have trouble to update the firmware of my printer.

    Model CM1415fnw

    Type of connection without wire/Hello

    Service ID 21094

    FW Version 2010-11-25.

    I am connected via a MacBook with OS X 10.9.2. I have Parallels Desktop 9 installed under Windows XP.

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my computer.

    HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP series Full Software Solution - OS X 10.9 Mavericks2014-01-31, V...

    I downloaded the Mac firmware update. File name: CM1410_MFP_Series_FW_Update - 20131028.dmg [1/1, 48.86 M] Version 20131028. When I try to run the update of the firmware on Mac, I get the error message "cannot open"HP Firmware Updater". You must eject the disk image. "Preferences | Security | Allow applications downloaded from anywhere. I tried to download the update several times, in the event that a download has been altered. Did not help.

    I downloaded the firmware from the Windows Update. File name: CM1410_MFP_Series_FW_Update - 20131028.exe [1/1, 12.12 M] Version 20131028.

But nothing happens on the side of the printer. And the firmware information remains the same.

    Hi frustrat10n,

    I understand that you can not update the firmware of the printer.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    There is no RFU on this printer. Just continue.

    I checked the site and it is not an update of the firmware that you can run on 10.9.

    I would say for temporarily, connect the USB cable and try upgrading the firmware on a PC or a computer with 10.8 or less.

    It might work if you are using bootcamp on side windows, but probably not by parallels.

    Why do you need to update the firmware of the printer?

    You have problems?

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a great weekend!

  • Can Apple update my solid state drive in my macbook pro?

    Hello

    At some point in a close future, I would like to upgrade the storage on my Macbook Pro 128 GB to 512 GB retina and I was just wondering if Apple made a service upgrade.  (I couldn't find all the details of this on their website).

    I know that I could possibly be upgraded the SSD myself, or by a third person, but I prefer to keep my warranty/applecare intact.

    Thank you

    Apple won't upgrade.  You can do it yourself, but as you suggest, which will void the warranty/Applecare.

    Ciao.

    It should not affect your license at all.

    You must disable the copy of the Creative Suite 6 your existing computer.

    Use your desk or your installer even to install on your new computer, or download the installer here:
