M17x R3 using Samsung Evo 500 GB SSD

I tried all Intel drivers I can think of to get the Wizard software to recognize the Sata for my Samsung Evo 850 500 gb SSD interface. The drive is recognized by the software and said it is authenticated, but it does not recognize for the SSD ACHI or Sata interface. So I can't activate fast mode. Is there anyone who can tell me what driver to use with Windows 10 64-bit? The device manager says that it is properly installed and working properly. I have a Nvidia GTX 460 M and 3D display.

I appreciate your help in this matter. Everyone is silent on the issue. Although Dell does not support upgrading Windows 10 for the Alienware M17X R3 they provide Windows 10 drivers if you are looking for on their support site for a generic Alienware M17X R3. Unfortunately, they do not contribute with the installation of Samsung 850 Evo and enabling rapid mode after installation.

After a week of reading and trial and error, I got to work. Samsung told me it is plug-and-play and would work fine with my system. They refused to help me with the configuration of Windows or their software. If you try to add the 850 Evo to your system and you use Win 8 or higher it will not work in mode rapid on the Alienware M17X R3. It keeps to a red X for the operating system on the control of compatibility for fast mode. The Evo, even after switching to AHCI mode in the latest bios Dell (A12) for the M17X R3 would not recognize the new interface Sata to 6gbts per second. That's what I did to make it work:

(1) resettled bios A08 to leave the interface of the motherboard with the hard drive by using the updated drivers Sata III. A10 A12 & BIOS would not recognize drivers Sata3.

(2) select ACHI to the interface on the configuration of the Bios screen.

(3) boot to a CD to install a clean version of Windows 7 on the new Samsung 850 Evo 500 gb SSD after updated the bios A08 and switch to ACHI mode. Install Windows 7 - I used Windows 7 Professional, because I had two copies of it with licenses.

(4) I installed a dual-band wireless card from intel the 7260. I downloaded the Intel file named "wireless_18.20.0_e164.exe" to install the driver for the wireless card to add to the network.

(5) download the .net framework 4.5 from microsoft and installed first. It can save a lot of time.

    Thank you.

    Warhorse99, welcome to the forum.

    If it was me, I do the upgrades and see if an upgrade of the power supply is necessary.  It does not simply there is not enough power, but one thing is not custom.

    I just installed a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB, SSD.  I was given advice on installing it.  Connect the SSD to one of the other SATA connectors on the motherboard.  Let your HARD drive connected at the moment.  Then download and run the Samsung Data Migration tool.  Clone of the legacy of the SSD drive.  It was extremely easy.  When the migration is unplug the HARD drive and start.  My SSD started without a change in the BIOS.  Once the SSD is installed, you can also use "Samsung magician" to optimize for.  It is on the disc that came with the SSD drive.  The Migration of data from Samsung tool instructions are on the same page.  Make sure that the amount of data on the HARD drive is more than the amount that fits on the SSD.

    Hi Leon,

  • Instructions for the replacement of 1 TB of HDD with Samsung EVO 1 TB SSD in XPS 15

    Can anyone recommend a set of instructions to replace the factory equipped 1 TB HDD with a SSD 1 TB in a XPS 15 (9530, model end 2013)?  I thought it might be a simple case of the SSD HARD drive cloning and exchanging players, but when I did it I got an error message at startup saying that I needed to make a repair - I na not to note the exact error, but he asked for the Windows installation disc.

    I don't really want to do a new install of Windows from scratch, unless absolutely necessary.

    Thanks a lot in anticipation!

    Hi Paulemm,

    You must use the Dell backup utility and restore to prepare a set of recovery disks. Those can then be used to load the operating system on the new drive. This is the best approach.

  • ZBook 15u G2: is it possible to upgrade the G2 Zbook 15u from the 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 evo 500 GB SATA HARD disk?

    Turns out that the hard drive that I got this laptop when I bought it is not really meet my needs, and I'm looking to upgrade. I looked around, and the EVO of 850 SSD Samsung 500 GB seems a good choice for what I'm looking for.

    I just wanted to check if my cell phone is compatible with this ssd. My initial assumption is 'yes' but before I drop money I wanted to confirm this. For reference, I went to the start with the 500 GB SATA hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade the 500 GB Samsung ssd 850 evo.

    I can provide the SN of my laptop for reference, if needed.

    Hello

    The simple answer is Yes you can. You can use a standard SSD 2.5 "to replace the current HARD drive. And the Samsung is a good choice.

    Kind regards.

  • XPS 2720 - replace SSD of 32 GB to 500 GB SSD to use as a boot drive

    I bought a new mSATA 500 GB SSD with the intention of replacing the current 32 GB SSD, but instead of using it for caching as is currently the case, I wish it were my boot drive. I got from crucial and they provided a license for acronis help to mgirating my data.

    But when I tried to replace it, and I changed RAID AHCI in the BIOS, the system could not start (inaccessible Boot device). Even with the 32 GB SSD, it will not start if the AHCI value. It only works when the RAID option. I would have thought that my 1 TB HARD drive was the boot drive and so this should allow the system start just by allowing me to access the SSD within Windows where I could transfer a disk image and put the SSD as a boot device.

    Y at - it a guide step by step that will allow me to do so without having to start over from a clean install. I'm running Windows 10 and prefer not to start Windows 8 and upgrade again.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Fergoc,

    There is a simple solution to change AHCI RAID, as described here. Let me know if that helps!

  • Samsung Evo 850 and mid 2012 MBP

    I tried every way to get this macbook to boot from that disk of 250 GB samsung evo 850. He sees it as a disk, but cannot boot from it, can't take it apart during the partitioning, etc. I can connect via an external USB SATA connector, format, install 10.8 or Yosemite and it works perfectly, but when I move the drive to the HD connector internal and try to start it, I get a circle with a line through it. He sees the player when I hold down the option, but cannot boot from it.

    Is this a configuration unsupported or I do something wrong? I need to find a 840, which seems to have specific firmware mac and use it? I ran all the updates that are available via the USB SATA connector. I thought it was an update needed at first, but none was available.

    Any guidance is appreciated.

  • Put the new upgrade of Windows 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)

    Original title: Windows 10

    You want to install (upgrade) new Windows 7 Pro 64) Windows 10.  No problem.

    Here's my question and need help.  I want to put the upgrade of Windows new 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)  Just got new PC and the SSD is not yet installed in the new machine.

    Is there a way to do this?  I can install the SSD drive in the pc without problems.  But the pc is set up with the C: drive in the primary.  As I understand it, the update will work, but it will not be for the SSD.

    Suggestions?  Is this possible?

    Windows 7 installation will have to be eliminated if its currently on a separate disk. Which means you have to start over.

    I would first disconnect the hard drive with your Windows 7 installation.

    Install the SSD drive, then install Windows Pro 10 on this subject.

    Hello

    I use Samsung ATIV XE700T and win 8.
    Happens to me too after I uninstalled the current Wacom driver (7.1.0 - 8-Win8) then install (7.0.9 - 5 - Win 7).
    Then why I have installed Win 7 driver if I win 8 as an operating system?
    Well, my pen was not working on Adobe Flash Professional (worked nowhere else). So after that I installed the Win 7 driver it started working on perfect Flash too.
    I don't know if you've already discovered but if you plug a usb device, finger touch works for awhile, then again stops working. And the same thing happens when you plug the device you plugged in.
    As I am an Illustrator with the stylus on the Flash for drawing is a priority for me so I did re-install the driver for Win8 again.
    Solution:

    1. go to "Control Panel-> programs" and uninstall the driver current (ISD Tablet).
    2. restart your computer.
    3. download and install this driver.
    4 restart your computer.

    You're done!
    Kind regards
