Intel Matrix Storage Console - Satellite A300-1BZ

Hello

I have an A300-1BZ and I noticed that the Intel Matrix Storage Console is informing me that I have 3 (0,1 and 2) SATA ports.

He informs me that ports 0 & 1 are in use (I have 2 hard drives mounted) and port 2 is not used.

What I want to know is - it possible that this small A300 that can accommodate a 3rd hard drive?

The comments appreciated!

As far as I know, none of the Toshiba laptops can operate with three hard disks.
Two only. even more great multimedia models as Qosmio have two hard drives only.

    It's quite strange.

    I installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 bit on my Y530 initially have Vista Home Premium x 64 bit.

    Installation a breeze and we found all the necessary drivers automatically and runs smoothly.

    But suddenly I'm a notifaction from the event of the Intel Matrix Storage Console that my HARD disk fails quickly and get it repaired / replaced soon. So, I downloaded the Western Digital diagnostic tool and it reported "Re-Allocated sector Count" with a value of 30.

    Windows 7 is popping up a window to save and advising me to shut down the computer.

    Someone please advice me what to do. My warranty is still active, I ask for a replacement of the HARD disk or send the laptop for service?

    I bought this laptop in the United States, but I will be in India for about 6 months before returning to the United States.

    Thank you.

    Finally after climbing, the case was taken forward and solved.

    Defective HARD drive has been replaced. It took very little time for them to analyze and get the parts ordered.

    Even the local authorized service center was quick in their lodging and settled the question in my interest.

    Great!

  • Intel Matrix Storage Console (no action available)

    A hard drive is dead in my Dell XPS 9000 and wouldn't start afterwards.  I replaced both drives SATA II 750 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 with two drives BFVS VelociRaptor 150 GB SATA II Western Digital 1500.  I went on the site of Dell and downloaded the disks necessary to reinstall the Intel Matrix Storage Console V 8.9.0.1023.  The BIOS has always been the AHCI value.  My computer is a central IO ICH10R controller and the driver is listed as iaStor.sys which I believe is the driver AHCI.

    Before the computer crashed disks were configured as RAID 1 and I could see the volumes/table etc. in the matrix storage Console.  Now when I enter the matrix storage Console trying to recreate a similar put in place advanced luxury fashion magazine shows my hard drives, but there is no options to configure anything.  The only Action is ' Rescan for plug & play devices.   What Miss me?   Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Update-> I ended up changing my BIOS from AHCI RAID and created a new RAID to RAID 1 volume.  I then reinstalled Windows 7.  After installation, I reinstalled the Intel Matrix Storage Console, and it seems like it should (as he did before the accident).  Now it shows my RAID volume and I have options to create new volumes under the Actions menu.

    I swear to you that all of this was done under the AHCI previously (how I got the computer from Dell).  When I got the computer from Dell device manage listed:

    Hard drives-> ARRAY0

    Controllers IDE ATA / ATAPI-> Intel ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller

    Storage controllers-> JMicron JMB36X controller

    After that I changed the RAID BIOS and reinstalled (now):

    Hard drives-> Volume0

    IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers - > ATA Channel 0 & ATA Channel 1, Standard double channel PCI IDE Controller

    Controllers storage-> Intel ICH8/ICH9R/ICH10R / / PCH SATA RAID Controller

    Maybe it will work better.  After all, my computer is totally dead when a drive has failed which mirroring should have prevented.

  • Can satellite A200-1N7 - I remove Intel Matrix Storage Manager?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1N7 PSAE3E with the installation of Windows Vista 32 factory. I bought the laptop with * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * already installed. Recently, I noticed that Matrix Storage Manager requires little significant memory. I do not use any, either, I have several disks to use. I want to remove only keep the Intel AHCI drivers.

    Matrix Storage Manager there some features in Windows Vista somehow while I don't use it at all? Is it safe to delete?

    Thank you & best regards
    Sean

    Hello

    I totally agree with the above user. The Storage Manager provides AHCI drivers and shouldn't t be deleted. It of necessary on never cell phone that works on the AHCI mode.
    You can try to stop the service, as Al - eX has suggested, but I think that this will cause a BSOD.

    I think it would be a better option if you remove other programs you n t need (software test e. g.). Also used CCleaner to clean the registry and defragment the HARD disk in order to speed up.

  • Satellite L40-18 X Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver to install Win XP

    I can always see the message after I formatted the hard drive:

    Insert the disk labeled:
    Driver Intel Matrix Storage Manager
    in drive A:

    Is anyone know to help in this step of the installation.

    I've got the floppy with the SATA drivers (which were necessary at the beginning) in drive at the moment.

    What should I do in this step of the installation?

    Michal

    Hello

    The message appears because the HARD drive cannot be recognized until the correct SATA drivers will be installed.
    The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver or directly from the Intel page page:

    Intel Matrix Storage Manager
    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101

    Here, you have to choose the operating system, then the right version of Storage Manager for the Chipset that was equipped with right in the L40.
    The 32-bit disk, Intel Matrix Storage Manager package Configuration utility contains the only SATA driver files
    During the installation of Windows, you will need to include the SATA driver by pressing the F6 of the disk external USB FDD.

    However, you can also use the nLite software, which include the SATA driver in the CD of Win XP.

  • Installing XP on Tecra S5 - Intel Matrix Storage Manager

    Hello
    Im trying to install XP on a Tecra S5.
    As described in the manual, I have created a disk with Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    With a floppydrive USB I tried to install XP with the F6 method.
    I could choose the suitable from the disk driver and was able to create partitions and format them.
    Some time later in the installation process, XP asks for the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    in the A: drive.
    Although disk is still in the drive, there is no reaction.
    Even when I change the disc, nothing happens.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Start the installation of Windows XP Home edition again, and when necessary to load the driver from the disk using the F6 option. This will make the disk HARD visible for the installation of Windows XP Home edition. When the HARD drive is recognized properly installing WXP. Later when WXP is installed correctly you can change the structure of the partitions.

    I do not understand why is floppy disk suddenly not accessible anymore. Check the data recorded thereon.

    Luckilly I have an iphone so managed to get on internet forums and find a solution which was to use a command in cmd.exe that fixed the problem.

    Thank you

    Hi tarmacsnortingmonster,

    That is the reason why I n t play with any 3rd themes part because I always read from time to time on various problems after installation. So I don't use Windows themes pre-installed and don t have problems.

    In any case, I think you should try a system restore to an earlier point before installing this theme.
    I hope this helps if not it is time to reinstall Windows, I think that :(

    You just need to install a driver, Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    As the name said it s an Intel driver and can be found on the Intel page or you can download it from the European driver Toshiba page too.
    Check your area driver books and search for storage manager or package of robson.

    I recommend also to search in this forum for similar discussions on Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver.

  • Satellite A300-1BZ - 2nd location on hard disk?

    Hi friends

    I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I don't post under the good discussion!

    First of all, I wanted to know if a 2nd HARD drive can be added to my Satellite A300-1BZ (PSAJ4E-03L016KS)?

    If this is not possible, no one knows what is the largest (gigabytes) compatible HARD drive that can be installed on this laptop?

    Finally if one of the above options is available to what type of disc HARD would I have to install (size) & I would be limited to the use of a mark of toshiba HDD?

    Any comments would be appreciated!

    AFAIK the A300 supports SATA HDD and usually there is no limit!

    Theoretically, you can use all the available 2.5 SATA hard drives.

  • HP update: Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver Update runs continuously

    I have an elite m9340F.

    Has started to run the HP update today. He said she intends to eight 8 updates to apply.

    The first two seemed to go OK (HP Update - update of safety and RealTek HD Audio Driver.

    Problem: The update of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver worked for more than an hour. It is running and CPU utilization... the HP Update UI is unresponsive and does not have a Cancel option.

    I'd normally kill the process using Task Manager - but I'm worried because it's my hard drives.

    Any advice?

    Thank you, Mister-Do...

    I was worried for the update that was going to kill (I killed him after two hours) because I could see that the update of the Storage Manager was still running.

    Finally, I killed the HP update process using the Task Manager.

    I think that the problem was related... permissions when I tried to install the update even initially your URL, it has not yet - but - when I recorded the same .exe on the desktop and then it ran using 'run as administrator' - it worked!

    So, thank you very much.

  • Satellite A300-1BZ running slow

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite A300-1BZ and I am not very happy as the laptop seems to be very slow...
    I'm used to a 3 years old is not very powerful laptop and my new Satellite is most of the time slower.

    For example just to log in a 'normal' Web page processors must run at least 60% to 70% and keep this speed even just to keep the page running...
    Is this normal?
    I would have immagined such a new machine to be much better...

    Someone else has the same problem?

    Please let me know I think of sending this laptop back...

    Thank you

    I agree with Joey please don t forget an important fact. You use the Vista.
    Been to Vista specs and details?

    This new Microsoft OS is a monster. He eats the material resources and therefore you feel a slow performance.
    In addition, your laptop was equipped with different features and installed after many different applications that control functions.
    All programs running in the background s Vista and generally, they use a portion of the CPU performance too.
    All this can affect the performance of notebooks.

    So please don t compare this laptop with older laptops because most of these older machines is not equipped with the same characteristics and the same software!
