• P50 M.2 Slot PCIE SSD and SATA SSD?

  My P50 m2 comes with a SATA SSD that I think upgrade to SSD PCIE. Is it not possible?

  Yes.

  In fact, if you chose the 512 GB SSD in M.2 when ordering, it is the Samsung PCIE version.

• Someone do EVO 850 m2 SATA SSD working on P50?

  Just got my p50. Insert the EVO 850 after unpluging factory 500 GB HDD and boot into a windows usb install. SSD not detected in the drive list. Then, restart the pre-installed Windows 10 500 GB HARD disk. SSD not seen everywhere, including the management of records, the Manager of peripherals and diskpart.

  I changed to another location and it began to appear "2100: error detection on SSD (m2)" and the SSD was really hot when I removed it from the slot.

  I just ask for a replacement for this SSD. If this does not work yet, what should I do? Thank you.

  I made a stupid mistake. I inserted the SSD drive in the wrong direction... I have not noticed that since the two notches of SATA SSDS are symmetrical and I could insert in anyway. But today, thanks to the 950 Pro, which has only a notch, I realize that thing stupid. Thanks for all your response. Now everything works fine. Stupid, I was!

• ThinkPad P50 can no longer be in the BIOS of the screen to start using "enter" and "F1".

  I just got a new Thinkpad P50 with Windows 10 Pro. It came originally with a 256GB SATA SSD m2 Windows 10 Pro has been installed. I was initially able to enter the BIOS settings by organizing "enter" during boot where it displays a message like "to interrupt normal startup upward, press ENTER. I know it worked before because I went to check on the parameters of virtualization to enable them.

  When you start up Windows 10 Pro, I immediately used the backup Windows and recovery to take a complete image of the system and created a Windows repair disc too. Then I swapped the 256 GB SATA SSD m2 for a 512 GB SSD M.2 NVMe and used the Windows repair disk to restore the system on the new SSD 512 GB image. The process of restoration is completed successfully and rebooted, but at this point, the system would not restart with the mistake 'INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE '. After much tinkering, I finally made a "reset my PC" where it appears to re - install Windows and now it starts very well on the new 512 GB SSD NVMe M.2. Although not as smooth a process as I would have liked, but at least I've made progress.

  HOWEVER, now when I start the machine, and I see the message "press ENTER to stop the beginning upward," message, pressing enter does nothing and it immediately starts Windows. The only way that I can return in the BIOS settings is:

  (1) start Windows

  (2)-> "settings".

  (3)-> «update & security»

  (4)-> "valuation".

  (5)-> "restart now."

  (6)-> "troubleshooting."

  (7)-> 'advanced options '.

  (8)-> "the UEFI firmware settings.

  (9)-> "restart."

  Yes, it's a 9-step process to restart the machine in order to enter the BIOS settings!

  How can I get this back to where holding 'enter' will make me in the BIOS settings when starting upwards?

  Reset BIOS default configuration, save it, full stop, restart. Your functions should now be restored

  The data of the user of the BIOS has been corrupted by the change in boot disk.

• Envy 17 t n100: help adding 2nd drive 256 GB SATA SSD (TLC) m2

  Hi all

  I'm a noob advanced and need some advice and assistance, I just bought an n-100 Envy 17 t. Lack of resources, I don't have the 2nd drive 256Go M.2 SATA SSD (TLC) or pull the memory up to 16 GB max. Memory should be 1 stick of 8 Go DDR3L-1600 to max the16GB?

  Here are my specs.

  murrayotl

  Put simply, assuming you want to migrate to Windows from the HARD drive of 1 TB to a 256 GB SSD, there is no simple way to do it.

  The best way to do it, as I've done several times, is to use a third party called Macrium Reflect application.  It's free and will lets you clone (1) a drive - make an exact copy of a disc on another and (2) image/restore disks - a copy of a disc and then copy on a second disc.

  If you can climb both drives at the same time, then (1) is the way to go.  Otherwise, to do (2), you must clone the drive to an external drive, plug the new external drive and then 'restore' from the hard drive to the new drive.

  When the first doping, select the option "Backup--> Image disks selected" to clone the current drive to the new drive.

  When you do the second, select "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key

  The PROBLEM you have is that a partition of 1 TB is wrong simply to fit on a disk of 250 GB - if you have work to do.  You should run Disk Manager to narrow down the OS partition to be used in total less than 250 GB of disk space.

  You can run the Windows disk management by following the steps below:

  (1) Control Panel to type in the search box

  2) click on Control Panel

  3) click on Administrative Tools

  4) click on disk management

  Once there, you will see the list of partitions.  Select the one which contains the OS (or great) and see how you can reduce it.  On the 1 TB drive, you will have to drop below 200 GB - to be sure.

  The PC will then probably need to reboot to make the changes.

  Once you have restarted in Win10, install Macrium Reflect - and follow the instructions I left above.

  Once the migration is completed, stop your PC, replace the SSD HARD drive and reboot.

  If all goes well, you should start in Win10 without any problem.

  Good luck

• ThinkPad Yoga 14 upgrade to SSD

  Hello

  I just bought the Thinkpad Yoga 14 with i5/8 GB DDR3/1 TB Hybrid drive

  I also bought a processor Intel 240 GB SDD upgrade to.

  I tried to clone the disk SSD, but it gives just a blank screen or select jumps back to the boot of the screen when start to boot.

  I also tried to boot from a USB stick with Windows 8 on it, then install it on the SSD, but the same thing happens when you try to boot from USB (white screen or jumps back to the boot selection screen.

  I tried to turn off Secure Boot, boot legacy mode, boot order, Windows load mode turn off/on... nothing works.

  Technical hotline of Lenovo does not support upgrades.

  Please, any help would be great.

  Hello, I did the SSD upgrade last night and everything works so much better! I'm still not sure about the ram if its extensible or not.

  Here are the steps I took to swap the drive hybrid SSD HARD drive:

  (1) bought SanDisk Ultra II 480 GB Solid State Drive - $139.00

  (2) purchased Insignia 3.0 Portable Hard Disk Drive Enclosure - $29.00

  The case comes with the cable, you must clone the disks and then you can use your old HDD as a disk after having done an image backup and system if you want to, otherwise you have to buy the enclosure but will cable. I found the cost of the cable start around $10 and go on a $29, so I just went with the box. You can find quite different price elsewhere, that's just what I found locally.

  (3) make a backup of your entire system to an external drive, a system image backup and image of the system CD drive just in case.

  (4) download cloning software. I went with the free Sandisk recommended software - EZ GIG IV

  (5) Connect and clone old HDD to your Instructions SDD news will be with your new drive or the software.

  (6) once the clone is complete, unplug your internal battery in the BIOS. Instructions for this can be found in thinkpad manual.

  7) turn the power off and remove the laptop cover. Instructions for this are also in the thinkpad manual.

  (8) remove the old HARD drive. Thinkpad manual instructions

  (9) install the new SSD. Follow the instructions in the manual of Thinkpad and Instructions supplied with SSD

  (10) closing the case back up, put the screws back in and power on.

  He had a black screen for a while when I turned it on and while I studied what had not worked, that I thought it was normal and literally as I was reading all came and was immediately noticeable how fast he was. I ran the Bios Update tool on the lenovo support area but I didn't have to change anything in the bios and everything works great. I did not remove the 16 GB card as Ive read that some people have. I'm still not sure if this makes a difference or not. The event viewer shows no defects, and it shows as active / online and running.

  I'm always interested to find if I can pass the ram from 8 to 16 GB. If anyone knows...

  Also, I've upgraded to Windows 10 the day I bought the machine, so I don't know if that has nothing to do with the swap go smoother.

• D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD

  Hi all

  I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.

  I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.

  Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?

  Best regards, Chrischmi

  Hi all

  I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!

  On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

• Adding 2nd drive SATA SSD touch 23 "Pavilion

  I haven't looked inside again, but is it possible to ADD internal or external items a SATA SSD?  I see 500 gb for $180!

  Hello

  No, due to its space it's why we call it all-in-One. If you want an external SSD, you can buy a USB 3.0 enclosure and put the SSD inside. It will just act like an external HARD drive but more fast.

  Kind regards.

• Envy 17 t-j000 caddy tray support SSD hard drive

  So, I have an ENVY 17 t-j000 Quad Edition on order. Only ordered with 1 HDD that I intend who move to the secondary place and put an SSD to the main square.

  According to the manual online, it seems that readers of screw in a shopping cart / tray / support any and in need of an adapter for the connector.

  Because I bought it with only 1 car. Does this mean he won't the tray with the adapter to install a 2nd drive?

  And if so, where can I get this caddy and connector adapter? I really hope that it comes with it as I made it very clear on the phone I buy with 1 only drive and add a 2nd drive on my own.

  http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?type=prod&SearchText=E0K82UA

  I spend 1 hour on the phone and bounced between 3 people, each had to wait on hold for as a new call. No one could help me. They finally told me to call the HP parts store, which of course is now closed. And is only open MF 7 a - 7 p CST. 1-800-227-8164

  The link above is for the model J000 Quad Edition.

  I think that I need the Kit material of HARD drive and possibly the screws indicated in the same section. Although I do not know why the screws would not be included in the "Kit".

  720237-001 HDD HARDWARE KIT $30,40
  720260-001 SCREW $14.16

  Wow, if I really need the screws too, it's a crazy price for screws. $30 is also a crazy price for a cable and rubber.

  What makes me more upset that I'm going to make a huge deal is that I explicitly said their phone order when the laptop custom configured, that I was going to add a SSD drive myself.

  They should have told me that the system is in need of these parts. For so much money, I would spend the $60 (less the discount coupon) to upgrade to dual hard drives. Which would give me these pieces with two pre-installed drives. And then I would have just replaced one with a SSD and sold new HARD drive on ebay or on site. Easily covering the cost of the upgrade of the disk. And I wouldn't have to wait to get parts or went through all that effort to source a part that must be included with the laptop. What is the point of the laptop having 2-Bay disk for the upgrade if it does not come with the owners parts be used?

  Yet once, very upset that this issue has not been addressed when I talked to 2 different people when ordering my custom laptop. I spent a lot of effort in pre-sales questions to ensure he had 2 bays for hard drives to add an SSD.

  And why in the world these pieces about 10 times more than they should? This is a new laptop. It's not as if these parts are for cell old abandoned.

• Vs PCI - e SATA SSD?

  I just start planning for the next computer and began to ask me, if PCI-e SSD speed up lightroom, compared to SATA SSD transfers?

  It depends on what parts of Lightroom, you want to speed up.

  The speed of the drive doesn't help at all with most parts of Lightroom. It will not help to develop, import or export. It helps with loading software, catalog loading and loading of previews. If you still think a game by getting faster disks, so if I understand things, PCI - e is faster than the SATA drives, but we also have to be at the point where you will never notice the difference, so whichever is cheaper is probably the best choice.

  If you really want to speed up most parts of Lightroom (import, develop, export), you should get a faster processor.

• Buy list HCL SATA or SAS SSD?  Why the consumer grade SATA SSD are meaningless.

  Hello

  I run a node 4 VSAN 6 Cluster with a LSI SAS in Raid-0 Mode controller listed HCL (a 975 queue depth) to which I currently attached: 3 x 10 k SAS Enterprise RPM hard drives and 1 x Samsung 850 SATA Pro 512 GB SSD. The nodes are the same.

  These SSD is due to budgetary constraints. I too put in service the SSD 512 GB to 400 GB and they seem to controllers and BIOS as 400GO devices.

  Performance is horrible. Overall, VM feel morose.

  When you make a copy of a file of DVD ISO file (say 3GB) on one virtual computer to another, I get extremely high 100 MS to 300ms or even higher disk latencies on both virtual machines. When a regeneration occurs because I take a node in Maint.mode with 'full datamigration', or I re - apply a strategy of backup to say "band bandwidth 2" to "stripe-width 3", the whole cluster crushed essentially to a halt. " VM has become so slow and on Linux VM I get same kernel-messages on scsi timeouts, etc. None of the work of the virtual machine, they freeze and basically die because "the disc is extremely unresponsive.

  I'm not alone in this. I have read many similar stories on the net and it often comes down to the 'consumer grade SATA SSD' who these Samsungs are after all.

  I guess I have the same problem.

  My question is this: I have the right to replace the Samsung 850 Pro with either a SAS disk SSD Sandisk which is listed HCL * or * using Intel DC S3700 SATA SSD that are also in the HCL currently for 6 VSAN.

  What I don't understand is: ' if the SATA SSD that I use currently, form a bottleneck due to the depth of the SATA Interface of 32 queue, how can we * all * SATA SSD be on the HCL at all?

  I doubt that these Intel DC S3700 are much faster than the Samsung 850 Pro and they are two SATA drives and they both have a personal 32 queuedepth and all the interface SATA has a 32 port queuedepth pro. So how can disks SATA works in a system of VSAN. I just makes no sense.

  Everyone is to fight to death on "queue-depth queue depth queue depth. Cormac Hogan, Duncan Epping, everyone who is an authority on VSAN. A queue-depth too low controllers were thrown out of the HCL etc etc etc

  When I look at the SSD Intel S3700 HCL wrote:

  Mandatory features:

  Drive performance, disc reliability, queue depth, SMART SATA Surprise Power Removal, trim attributes / Unmap, Cache write, write the NDR

  It says "tail-depth" as one of the requirements that responds to this SDS. But SATA, by definition, has a maximum queue-depth 32 which is much too small. So, how can it meet "tail-depth"? It is SATA!

  The Intel DC S3700 would cost me about half of the money the SAS SSD Sandisk and of course, if Intel is going to solve my problems of performance, then I'll take those. But if I'm just as much trouble afterwards because of the queue depth of the SATA Interface of 32, then I better invest in the SAS SSD (but which could exhaust my budget for other things so I'd rather not).

  Anyone can shed some light on this?

  (edit: I changed the title to better reflect my findings)

  Update: I bit the bullit, obtained a second mortgage, said my child may not be able to go to College and I bought the SAS SSD (Sandisk 200 GB 6 G SAS). In each of the four nodes, I did a complete data migration, replaced the Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD with the SSD SAS and macaroni holy, all my problems disappeared.

  The whole system feels much more receptive and do things like clone a virtual machine (which would grind the whole cluster to stop) never stops working like nothing happens.

  Before, when I did a simple copy of an ISO to a virtual computer DVD file to another, I would like to get, maybe, 20 MB/s and the entire cluster has started feeling lethargic until the copy job is completed. Now, I get speeds ranging from 80 to 90 MB/s and so bright and responsive.

  What a difference!

  I'm a very happy man.

  Moreover, my network is a 1 Gbps where each node has two NIC in a LACP LAG and I can clearly see a node to talk to another network node 1 NIC and talk to another node on the other card NETWORK LACP nicely splits the traffic on the two cards.

  The system feels so fast now and reconstructions / present a new application of storage policies is difficult to have an impact, and generally occur much more quickly than before.

  And really, the only thing I did was swap the Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD with these SAS SSD.

  Lesson learned: either pay the money of the SAS SSD (which are on the HCL, of course) who is the best, or get certified company VSAN grade SATA SSD but STAY AWAY to consumers rank of SATA SSD because they do not have what it takes. They cannot empty their queues fast enough and all clutter as soon as there is a bit of the system load.

  Just don't do it. Forget the consumer SATA rank. It's like throwing money down the toilet. I've been there and I learned the hard way. Let me be the stubborn donkey, so you don't ;-)

• SATA SSD for ESXi 4.1?

  Is it possible to use a sata ssd (for example, Intel X 25 - M) with VMWare ESXI 4.1?

  For several months, I've been running several sata drives in a dell poweredge r310 Server (just a sata onboard, no raid controller).  Everything seems to work very well.  I was wondering if I can add a sata ssd.

  I can't find any ssd in the hardware compatibility list.

  ESXi will recognize a? How do you TRIM, functions, ESXi will do that?

  All the problems come to mind?   Thanks in advance.

  There is no trim support and as long as it is connected to a motherboard or recognizable raid, it will recognize as your sata drives.
