• Portege R700 - limits of SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I just bought a R700-184 and the plan is to Slingshot W7 Ultimate 64 - bit, 8 GB of ram and an SSD inside

  My question is that it is a standard HARD drive, what are the limits and questions, I am likely to encounter the execution of this upgrade?

  Thanks in advance

  Ben

  Hello

  There is not much difference between the SSD and HDD so usually the laptop must be able to correctly handle the SATA SSD drive.
  In some cases, an update firmware for the SSD drive is necessary, but usually it is provided by the manufacturers of SSDS

• Re: Portege R600 - upgrade to hybrid SSD + Win7

  The R600-4201 is _For far_ the best laptop computer I have ever owned or even seen, and I intend to keep it for as long as possible. I just bought a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard drive (SSD + magnetic) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  To support installation hardware and the operating system switching from XP to W7, I will have redundant (more local cloud) perfect backups of data files to e-mail, data files, passwords, etc.

  Can anyone here guide me more access to specific Toshiba updates, drivers, BIOS, etc., should be done? Further guidance or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!!!

  I think that this portable 2-book with the new operating system and hard drive will challenge anything on the market today. With radio offshore and with the Transflective screen, I get more of * WORK SIX HOURS * at the park or at the beach - there just isn't any better than that.

  Hi dude

  Thanks for the comments on the Portege R600.
  I like this laptop. I wish that I would have enough money to buy this toy, but I have a u400. It of also great computer laptop not too big... the size of the screen is perfect because I travel a lot

  By the way; You can find all the drivers (also for R600) here:

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• Portege R600 - performance SSD limited by SATA 1.0

  Hello

  I have improved my Portege R600 - 13 X replace SSD HARD drive (Sandisk Ultra Plus / SATA 3.0)
  This laptop has the Intel® GS45 Express chipset supporting should SATA 2.0, but I can't reach 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate. I've updated everything as I could, including the BIOS - that does not show even any option that would for example switching between modes SATA...

  Is there anyone with a SSD R600 and get better results?
  I only failed to update the chipset installation ends with an error and suggests that there is something not quite right

  Hello

  Have you checked the BIOS for the SATA mode option settings?

  Some BIOS supports a SATA mode: AHCI and compatible.
  In case you want to use the SATA performance, you must use the AHCI parameter.

  AFAIK the external eSATA port supports the 300 MB/s and in the BIOS must be set to serial ATA (default) port4.

  The interface of the host load max 300 MB/s but sustained data read would be max 100 MB/s and 40 MB/s max sustained data write

• Portege R600 - SSD Compatiability

  Can someone confirm if OCZ, Kingston or SSD Transcend is compatiable with the Portege R600? I want to replace my main HARD with a 64/128 GB SDD drive.

  It should not be a problem if you want to use the SSD with the right interface. You need a SATA SSD.
  AFAIK the Portégé R600-102 was equipped with 120 GB SSD SATA.
  See you soon

• Portégé R600-102: what SSD for upgrade?

  Hello everyone.

  I want to upgrade my SSD the real 128 GB to a bigger: what are the specifications for the new SSD to work? Should what interface have? What physical dimensions?

  Any help will be appreciated.

  TIA,
  Flavio.

  Hello

  I guess that the SSD upgrade is the same as the upgrade of the HARD drive.
  The laptop support SATA controller, you will need a SATA SSD.
  The old drive SSD is 9.5 mm in height the new SSD drive should support the same height.

  Given that the SATA controller is not limited to any size, it should be possible to use the SSD drives more of 128 GB but there is still a matter of BIOS support.

  Unfortunately, it s unclear to me if the BIOS would support more large SSD drives, but generally this should be supported.

• Replacement of SSD on Portege R600

  I R600-10 X with 128 GB SSD and I wanted to replace it with fast/more larger drive, but on the inside rather than the SATA drive, I found ZIF40 by car. Even as this pic that someone else posted: http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3953/portegessd.jpg

  Is it possible to have a new SSD SATA as Intel 320 connected to this laptop? There are a lot of suggestions in the forums what does R600 support SATA SSD, but nobody clearly confirmed it.

  Any information appreciated.

  Hello

  > is here a lot more suggestions in the forums that R600 does support SATA SSD

  The Portégé R600 - 10 X was equipped with an SSD SATA drive so I put t understand why someone said that R600 does not support SSDS

  Holders for laptop SATA interface that is why you must use SSD/HDD that supports the same SATA interface some if SSDS requires an update of the firmware, but it must be fitted by the manufacturers of SSDS

• Portege R600-108 - the tool to run the TRIM command to improve the performance of SSDS

  Hello

  We have a couple of R600-108 with SSDS, they run Vista Business 32-bit.

  I was wondering if there is a utility I can download to run the TRIM command on drives to improve performance?

  Thank you

  James

  Hello

  To be honest I m not an expert in the increase in performance of the SSD, but according to the Wikipedia article, TRIM has been implemented in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and came out with the final versions of these operating systems in October 2009.
  It seems former SSD drives have firmware updates, otherwise the new command will be ignored.

  According to Wikipedia, there are utilities that can send TRIM commands manually.
  These utilities are available from various manufacturers such as Intel or G.Skill.
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/trim

  You can consult the Intel tool called "Intel Solid - State Drive Toolbox and Optimizer".

• Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

  Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

  Any advice would be very welcome
  Thank you
  NJ

  I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

  I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

  Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

  If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

  Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

  I hope that you have succeeded.

• Portege R600-10 q Finger Print Utility not recognizing not print

  I have a laptop Portege R600-10 q, which has been upgraded to run Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) using the provided upgrade drives Toshiba.

  Recently the digitization of finger printing became unreliable so I followed my usual practice and removed the old fingerprints and undertook a new analysis of my fingers.

  I find that there are three required scans for each finger. When I scan the first two times the impression is immediately recognized and rated 'good '. However, the third attempt always fails and will scan up to 8 times, and then the treatment is finished. This happens, regardless, whose finger is involved, the computer restarts, run the utility as an administrator etc.

  I uninstalled the utility of fingerprinting and reinstalled, but the same problem persists.

  I would be the value of suggestions to get the fingerprint utility, works again.

  Andrew

  > I uninstalled the utility of fingerprinting and reinstalled, but the same problem persists.
  Did you use the most recent finger printing software?
  Please do.

  Please try the software of fingerprints for Portege R700.
  New version that came out for Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit OS

  PS; You must remove all fingerprints before installing the new version...

  Good bye

  By the way: the last pilot, you will find on the page of Intel.
  I have a laptop with Intel GPU and I use the driver from the Intel page.

  If the display does not support preferred resolution for you, then you will not be able to select this

• Portege R600 - the noise of the FAN

  The system is a Portege R600-102.

  When it was new, it was already noted that the CPU fan was unusually noisy when he started.
  Loaded with the latest drivers and BIOS, system becomes louder, especially now when its warmer outside.
  Fan and fan duct has been cleaned, no problem of dust.

  Does anyone else have this problem or noticed this behavior?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  You can reduce the activity fan and noise by changing the settings in energy of Toshiba.
  Please open and edit the parameters of the method of cooling. Upgrade the lowest.

  I do the same on my laptop and now runs a lot quieter.

  BTW: what operating system do you use?

• MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 pcie ssd upgrade

  Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

  Ciao.
