Lenovo g550 20023 HDD SATA port type of model?

Hello

I want to change my HARD drive, because it is broken and I need more info on my laptop Lenovo SATA port (G550 model 20023). I need to know if it is of type 1 SATA / SATA-150 or so is SATA II / SATA-300.

Also please tell me if it is possible to upgrade to an SSD? Thank you.

Kind regards

Hi again,

The topic can be closed. I contacted Lenove hotline.

For all those who need this info: this is a port of type SATA II.

  • Complaint driver Lenovo G550 Wi - Fi and porting Windows 8.1

    Hello!

    This is my first post on this forum and I hope that I have the right place to post, as I've seen other topics concerning the g550 on this forum.

    I have read the discussions about the use of Windows 8 and its drivers and also problems with the wi - fi driver - it is the inability to provide a service of quality - problems with a "weak signal".

    Let me put it this way:

    1. at this moment I am Windows 7 64 bit and as my pilot wi - fi, I use the system planned when I installed it, it's:

    So far, it is the best WiFi driver available, that gets me the best discovery of network (I see on the 10 available wi - fi networks using this).

    2. to install the driver provided on the Lenovo Site's Driver, i.e. broadcom driver combined 32-bit/64-bit, the number of networks that I can connect to via wi - fi decreases from 10 to only 2 networks, one of them being my neighbor router! This is unacceptable in my opinion! Now, the speed of the network cannot deviate too much, but the pilot clearly lacks some features, because he can see only 2 instead of 10 networks - in the same place!

    Now, for Windows 7 x 64 things are good, I just stick to the provided windows (4.176.75.21) driver and I can use wi - fi without any problem in the world, at a good rate of functionality and performance.

    My problems are now turning to the 64 bit version of Windows 8, more precissely 8.1. I experimented with this and put aside the problem of wi - fi, which I can fix is more, everything seems fine and I'm pretty satisfied how my sistem works on win8 64-bit.

    The problem:

    (a) when running with the supplied Win8 driver, networks are few, just like using the driver lenovo, or even worse - a single available network - my router - 100 cm near my laptop! No other available network... Very bad.

    (b) for installing the same win7 32/64 bit driver on win8, which works without compatibility issues - I get the same results as the installation of the configuration of windows 7: 2 networks are in the same place.

    I read on the forums, that there may be a chance that lenovo will ship 8 to g550 windows drivers, but if they work in the same way that the current drivers for win7, they will be of no use to the expected rate of return. Can someone do something about providing better drivers, look at this problem?

    I also tried to deceive win8 and port the driver win7 64 for windows 8, by extracting the location of the pilot of the iso file or windows 7 installed driver (obtained a .inf and .sys file) but ultimately I can't install it in Windows 8, even with the option 'have disk... '. ", where he finally tells me that's not a win8 supported 64-bit driver. (No signed drivers problems or displaying a message).

    Now, as a solution for this, I would be grateful if someone could recommend one of the following:

    (1) either a way to make the driver lenovo work better, to configure it somehow, or provide another driver for win 7-64 which can also be run on win 8 (what should be), which has good performance

    (2) provide a 'port' mode the current win7 that works best with my Broadcom WiFi for windows 64-bit of 8.1 driver.

    Thanks for following this!

    OK, I solved my problems, this topic can be closed, as far as I'm concerned.

    I'll leave here the method in which I acted, as well as any other person who is faced with the same problem will be facilitated by this guide.

    Here's what I did:

    (1) carries the wireless driver for windows7 - that came on the original dvd - copied three files: two .inf files and a sys file, I believe - cannot remember exactly. Anyway, you can use export driver software and select your driver and it will automatically detect and retain the necessary driver files. I have saved files and if someone needs them, pm me and I'll tell you which files they are exactly, or send them.

    (2) once I got the win7 drivers, I entered my install windows 8.1 and accessible "Advanced Boot Options", which has an option available to select certain features on the next reboot-> you click on restart to see advanced features.

    (3) select 'disable' in the boot options advanced, driver signing checking once they appear, after the restat. This is necessary in order to get errors that do not allow you to install the win7 driver do not.

    (4) it just go to the device driver update manager, have the disc, select your .inf and there you go, just a few guests on the absence of the driver of a signature and you're ready, you can install the driver without problem.

    In my case, it worked perfectly!

    I did it too with other win7 drivers, and it worked also.

    Tip:

    If you have problems and the pilots still doesn't work, check the .inf file, it may need some modifications.

    See if there is a section 6.2 NTAMD4 (this is for win8) and if it isn't, or if this article contains no lines, just create or update the same lines that you see in tights under articles 6.0 or 6.1 also in section 6.2. Then the disk method will work for your desired Windows 8.1 driver installation.

    I think this can be useful for many situations, not only for this specific driver and model laptop, but for the most part are questions users driver compatibility.

    Hi rgadawg,.

    Welcome to the community.

    Blue SATA2 port must be compatible to connect to another hard drive. He should not ask any questions however, Studio XPS Installation Guide Page 57 under specifications says he has three bays for hard drives SATA 3.5 inch disk.

  • [Y550] New HDD SATA III. Is it compatible?

    Hello.

    I want to know if I can change my original WD hdd (I'm preety sure it's SATA I), again SATA III? I don't know if the motherboard will be compatible with SATA III. What do you think?

    And by the way, what model of motherboard is in it? Unfortunately, my serial number fail to pass on the support site, so I can't check the configuration it (and my HARD drive is broken, so I can't use the software to check it out).

    And the third question: will there be any signs of change if I Exchange my hdd SATA III. I don't know if it is important in Y550.

    Thanks for all your responses in advance.

    See you soon,.

    Peter.

    Hello
    Welcome to the forums
    In the y550 sata port is sata 2. If the disk sata hard 3 would also go to sata 2 speed. This is common for all models y550
    If you know the configuration of your computer, you can view the psref removed systems and it corresponds with the model No.
    http://www.Lenovo.com/PSREF/psrefs_withdrawn.html
    The sata 2 would be faster than the sata 1 and that means faster data transfers.

  • Lenovo G550 query... Urgent

    I'm almost finalized on obtaining a G550 - the eldest cousin of the G530 notebook. I'll be racing through lenovo.com.

    Essentially on the Lenovo site,.

    Go to Products > Notebooks > laptop Lenovo value line

    You will see 3 different models for the G550. References to: Lenovo G550 - 29582CU, 29582DU and DRANK 29582

    However, I do not know the difference in the technical characteristics of the different laptops Lenovo.

    Main differences, that I could see:

    Lenovo G550 - 29582CU: Memory -2 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz & hard drive - 250 GB-5400 RPM

    Lenovo G550 - 29582DU: Memory -3 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz & hard drive - 250 GB-5400 RPM

    Lenovo G550 - 29582BU: Memory -4 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz & HDD - 320 GB-5400 RPM

    Apart from that, is there a difference?

    I plan to buy the G550-29582DU, but I need to know if she has a camera 1.3MP webcam and built-in bluetooth. The site of specifications does not appear to mention at all. Could someone please shed some light on this subject? Why is the lenovo site to the point?

    I need this information urgent because I need to order the book by max tonight.

  • Alps, Lenovo G550 & windows Vista pointing device

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I have a lenovo G550 laptop with the following configuration:

    T6600(2.2GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB 5400 RPM HD, LCD 15.4 in 1366 x 768, Intel 4500MHD, CD-RW/DVD-RW, Broadcom 802.11bg wireless, Bluetooth, 10/100 Ethernet, Touchpad, camera, 6 c Li-ion, WinVista Home Basic 32

    I have a problem with my tocuhpad. The touchpad in question is of the Alps. At the time wherever I have to connect the charger, the touchpad stops working & the cursor becomes static.

    At the time wherever the charger is removed, the unit works normally.

    I tried & updated the driver Alps several times, even tried with system restore to the day I bought my laptop. The problem still persists.

    Pls suggest what needs to be done to solve this problem.

    Kind regards

    Abrams ' s_Maggi

    Looks like that the isn'tcompatible touchpad with your version of Vista or if you have some sort of hardware problem.  Confirm the touchpad is compatible http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/ or from the manufacturer.  If this is the case, then it sounds like a hardware problem and you will need to place a claim under the guarantee, while it is still new and has a.  It's a USB device?  Have you tried a different USB port?  Confirmed that it does not reach all USB devices?  It's bluetooth, the same applies as far as confirmation of what other bluetooth devices is not the same problem.  It can also be a kind of hardware with the touchpad problem, but I don't see that as likely.

    I can't think of something to see in Vista to this problem which you haven't already tried.  Well, maybe one or two things:

    Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    I hope this helps.  Keep me posted.

    Good luck!

  • PowerEdge 2900 on board sata ports

    I have a PowerEdge 2900 server and would like to put in a single spare 2 TB SATA for additional storage (non-critical).  The motherboard has two onboard SATA, A & B ports.  When I try to connect the drive onboard SATA ports, the BIOS does not detect anything, and when I change the type 'Auto', save the settings and restart settings are not stored in the BIOS.

    I don't know if the SATA motherboard ports supports hard drives, or if there is other reason things do not work.  I tried different cables and tried the drive in another computer, and everything works fine in another computer.  Plan to put in some additional SAS drives in the drive box, I'm looking for an intermediate solution.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    I've seen this same problem and fixed it. He must go to "Shipped" in the bios and enable "Onboard Sata".

    Thank you.

    Hello again,

    Yes, the paper suggests so.
    But if you have just one hard drive that it doesn't matter at all.

    However, if you have several hard drives connected, you must use port 0 for training with the operating system installed on.

  • SATA ports on MS-7613 motherboard (HP G5370uk desktop PC)

    Hello world

    I have a PC HP G5370uk desktop (but with processor i5, new graphics card, and improved memory).  My next planned upgraded is a SSD and Windows 8.  I know the different shift than the races of motherbard SATA2 3 Gb/s, so I won't get all the benefits of a 6 GB/s SSD, but I'm happy with that for now.

    It's the map page mother HP http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02014355

    My question is, when I watch the news (from HWiNFO64) SATA, it is said there are #0 à #5 SATA ports, but I see only 4 ports on the motherboard.  And he also said that they run interface speeds.  Is down to devices that I've connected, or will they run all 3 Gbit/s, no matter what I plug into wise SSDS.  If this isn't the case, that plug in to for best results.

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give

    The jury only has 4 ports of 3 Gbit/s SATA2, numbered from 1 to 4 according to the scheme.
