OptiPlex 760 MT - new SSD. What SATA port

I noticed that my Optiplex 760 MT has what appears to be 4 SATA ports.  2 are currently in use (she turns drive and DVD - RW) and I'll add an Evo of 840 Samsung soon.  I want to just make sure that it does not matter what SATA port that I use for the SSD.  I guess they are all SATA II?

Hi Cutlassvilliger1,

I should no big deal but I always put my system on SATA port disk 0. I also disconnect non-system hard drives during the installation of Windows to avoid any involuntary to other readers.

  • What for new ssd sata port?

    I was wondering which of the 4 ports on the motherboard sata should I choose for my new ssd, there are 4 ports sata with different colors.

    System:

    HP Pavilion Elite H8-1140sc

    If you plan to use the SSD drive for a boot drive, then after cloning the C: drive current, use the port that your current boot drive is in. If you are Ingo to use it for storage, then place it in any empty port.

  • New OEM SSD - what is best backup/upgrade? (SD7SN3Q256G1002 - Zenbook UX305FA)

    Bought Asus Zenbook UX305FA-USM1 with this SanDisk model M.2 SSD 256Go (search here the text "peripheral storage"; or "and M.2 SSD module" for SSD in the photo).  This is my first experience with SSD and I'm more than a little impressed!

    But I worry about SSD and might like to have an image clone SSD ready at any time to replace the factory unit.  But a call to technical support phone SanDisk could not immediately recommend a replacement but rather suggested to contact Asus first for their recommendation.  So I come here first for suggestions.  A capacity of about 256 GB is sufficient for me, especially since the largest units seem to be out of my price range.

    I'm still learning about new connections since the old days of IDE... but I think this isn't "M2", SATA III (?).  By the look of it, it's a 80mm in length.

    I'll probably have follow-up questions, so I'll leave my question to that for now...  Any suggestions? ... anyone with experience?

    SanDisk does not sell a SSD m2 to the retail, so he would not have a SanDisk SSD you can buy separately for your computer. Now that said if your computer has a 2.5 SATA port "or a port MSATA form factor of SanDisk options there but m2 is not sold at retail.

  • the upgrade of the disk sata hard to new ssd sata 3 disc 1

    I have Hp m9510 running windows 7 64 bit home edition.  The motherboard is ASUS IPIBL-LB (Benicia), my drive sata hard existing 1 running in raid mode.  I want to add a new SATA of SDS 3 as a new startup disc and leave the player sata 1 existing as a backup.  Insofar as the motherboard is built for sata 1, if I install a sata pci card 3 I will then be able to obtain the transfer of higher data rates of the new ssd without causing other problems?

    If your current configuration has a single disc, then your default would be AHCI.

    RAID stands for redundant array or inexpensive disks and requires two or more physical hard disks for the implementation.

    In this case the preferred configuration would also be AHCI. It's a SATA mode. (Advanced host configuration interface) His replacement is IDE (emulation) mode

  • SSD Raid 1 on the PowerEdge 100 motherboard Sata ports

    Hello

    I have a PowerEdge T100 with a Raid 1 SAS. I want to upgrade the server with 2 SSD connected to the Sata ports directly on the motherboard. They would Raid 1.

    Do you know if this is possible with the T100 PE?

    Hello

    I can't say with certainty. It is theoretically possible, but here are some things to consider:

    1. I show that we validated a SSD for the T100
    2. I do not show that the T100 is supported by the AHCI. Better SSDS feature with AHCI
    3. Although the ICH9R chipset is capable of RAID I do not show that it is a feature of the version installed in the T100 system map. You will need to run the RAID software within the operating system if you want a RAID array.

    Another thing to note is that the SATA ports are locked when a RAID SAS controller is present. Some of the ports are unavailable if this controller is present in the system.

  • Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

    Hello!

    I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

    Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

    I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

    All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

    Hey Buddy,

    > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
    Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

    After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

    Check this box!

  • 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

  • Reference Dell T5400 new SSD not recognized

    I'm having a problem with the installation of a new SSD on my T5400. Ultimatly I want to load the operating system and all the software on the SSD and then install a 2nd hard drive SSD of same type and size to store my files.

    My specific situation is:

    Previously a poweredge 6 / i sas card scsi perc 6 with the installation of 500 GB HD (2) RAID 0, Win 7 pro 64 bit.

    I removed the adapter perc 6 and installed a new Samsung 850 Evo 500 gb SSD on sata 0 position. I'm trying to do a fresh reload of the OS on the SSD with the bios (Version 11) set to Raid Autodetect/AHCI selected.

    During the installation of windows, it does not see the SSD and seeks pilots continue. I tried to find the appropriate drivers on the website of dell for my system and the unziped NautilusDOSA48_ZPE, put on a USB key. He looked for a driver, but windows has returned a message 'no driver signed found. Of note is that I was able to remove my other format of the underdisk of configuration management and create a simple volume on disk.

    Issues related to the:

    Is the withdrawal of the RAID card affecting the installation, was it the previous series of drivers that I seem to be missing? If so how can I work around this?

    Leaves the RAID card to and not connected to the drive or connect to the card and a raid configuration, a configuration option 'no '? If so is it a good idea?

    I visited the dell support site and found what I thought was the best set of drivers for my system and SSD (NautilusDOSA48_ZPE) is suitable for my application driver or is there a better one avalible?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Todd,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I currently have the readers installed and running on my system

    In response to your answer, yes Bios A11 had been installed for more than a year, removed the card activated before installing the SSD raid and AHCI.

    The question, it turns out that was a simple, as I said after enabling the AHCI I thought that ports 0 and 1 auto detects new readers, they do not have. Once I have manually configured ports on in the Bios, the system recognizes the new SSD and they work now.

  • retrieve the time backup machine for new ssd internal

    I had to replace my internal HD on a 2012 end iMac, so I went to SSD.

    I had saved my first system and files in Time Machine before that.

    What is the process of a) formatted internal SSD new and b) recovering the original of external backup Time Machine?

    As I have to reseal the iMac just to make it work, I don't want to have to open it again to play with the new SSD!

    Hope that you already have a boot USB OS X in hand disc (I always have a copy must have on hand).

    Plug the USB into the USB port and Time Machine,

    by key pressing 'option' as soon as 'chime' begins.

    You can choose the selection of the boot drive.

    OR

    If your SSD does not start on her file (e.g. blank) - it should start automatically via the USB.

    (a) - Yes, using "disk utility" - in the menu bar superior, to partition the drive (GUID) first

    (b) then choose 'continue' to install the OS X - at the end, you will be asked few options - recover via Time Machine.

    After the restoration, you can run a few updates so that the system will work like the old set up.

    Most of the software should work, but somehow, some software required "activation key" again.

    Those notorious - Rosetta Stone (language). -J' had to communicate with them, uninstall the old drive first.  Microsoft Office can be too fickle.

    Make sure that OS X are the same version (you can't have 10.11 on Time Machine, try using the boot USB 10.10 disk) targeted installed OS X must be the same or more recent than the OS X version of the time Machine.  For example, if your Time machine backup contains 10.10, then you can either use drive start USB 10.10 and 10.11 for the restore process.

  • How to do a clean install of El Capitan on new ssd?

    I bought a new SSD to replace the SATA drive in my Macbook Pro for mid-2010. I am running Yosemite. What I want to do, is to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD. I also bought a pregnant and plan on the use of the old drive as an external backup.

    I need some advice: after installing the ssd in the MBP and the old drive in the box, I intend to plug the old drive for the MBP, format the SSD drive and then use a reader flash which I did the Setup file of El Capitan to a clean of El Capitan for the SSD install and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate applications and files from the old drive.

    Is there a better way? Maybe install the SSD in the enclosure first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do cleaning installation of El Capitan?

    All advice is appreciated.

    installing the SSD in the pregnant first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do clean install of El Capitan?

    It's better. Some of these Macs experience problems after surgery. The new installation using the outside doing will give you confidence that it works before surgery, and no problem introduced by surgery can be separated from issues of installation and update. It will install and run in an external, just may be a little slow.

  • My Satellite L850-18 t will support the new SSD?

    Hello

    I am seriously thinking to buy the new SSD which is SATA III. Currently, I have Toshiba Satellite L850-18 t, European model. And I think that (although that is quite difficult to get information) that the current HARD disk is SATA I.

    My question is, will the new SSD work correctly, it will take all the benefits (write and read speed) if I install it on the laptop? And if not, what SATA SSD do you recommend?

    I really need to empty it.

    Best regards
    Luka

    Yes, your Toshiba laptop support SSD. I have older machines, and there is no problem with SSDS.
    This is not complicated, you think it is.
    Check prices and buy one that suits.

    I can recommend brands like Toshiba, Samsung or Kingston. More info on SSD Toshiba you can find on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html

    A friend of mine uses Samsung 840 Series SSD of base and it works perfectly. The new SSD, you can install original recovery image and start using your machine with factory again.

  • Installation of El Capitan on default of new SSD

    Hello

    I'm trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012), install a new SSD and run the operating system on it.

    Here's what I did:

    I bought the 'OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6 G' with a cube of data. I removed my optical drive; installed my old HD (running the operating system) in the data Doubler; and install the new SSD in the main Bay.

    I downloaded El Capitan of the 'App Store' and then used «DiskMaker X 5 "to make a bootable usb key.»

    Restarted my computer laptop and booted from USB and the installation of El Capitan. From there, I formatted the new SSD (Mac OS extended (journaled) with a single partition GUID).

    After running down the clock of the installation (about 5 minutes), I get the message "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

    Without having to restart the mac, if I try to install the OS again, I'm not able to find the SSD.

    If I restart the laptop and start in the OS on my old HD, I'll find the SSD here on my desk. (Sometimes it take a couple of reboots for my Mac see the SSD).

    And then I try all this again, with the same results.

    I tried other things:

    Reset the PRAM.

    Manual clock setting in the Terminal since the installation of punt. (Although it was not bad in the first place)

    I also tried to set the clock to AST (Arabia standard time) as I live in Saudi Arabia.

    Other than my SSD is defective, any ideas on what can I do to solve this problem?

    Hi Blackcells:

    I guess that you entered in "System Preferences" > "Startup disk" and set to your original drive data Doubler.

    Try to remove your new SSD and put it in an external case OWC external box or using a USB to SATA adapter SATA USB adapter and connect it to your MBP via USB.

    Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD for Mac OS extended (journaled) and a GUID partition.

    Then, use a third party application like Carbon Copy Cloner Carbon Copy Cloner (not free, but worth the price) or Super Duper to copy all data from the HARD drive internal as well as the recovery partition.

    The clone will be an exact copy of your hard drive and it will be bootable.

    Start the MBP with the OPTION key and select the new SSD.

    If it starts the MBP, proceed to the physical interchange of disks.
