Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal

My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.

I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.

The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.

I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
Could you give me a link for such adapter?

The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).

There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.

In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profile

I'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available

  • Audio choppy and distorted on Portege Z930 after update of Win7 for Win8 64

    I just wanted to share a tip with you that cost me some time to work, about the sound reproduction of a Portege Z930.

    When I got my new Z930 - 14L, he was running Win7.
    I tried everything like you do when you get a new machine and it worked fine - including the audio playback.

    When I updated for Win8-64 since the CD that came with the computer, everything still seemed to work very well and I had not changed any driver or Setup.

    However, after a few minutes, the linenn of audio playback. It choppy, distorted, interrupted, stuttering and I was shocked.

    Oddly enough, as soon as I turned my attention to the computer again, reading was OK again - but no screen saver came and no power saving mode has come in so little time. I knew that this was no hardware problem (because it worked in Win7), it was not a driver problem (because the first 5 minutes, the sound was pristine), he was not a ground loop, (as many have suggested) because it sounds differently.

    Thanks to another forum, I discovered that it is actually the combination of Windows Defender, Win8-64 Pro and the audio driver that causes this. If the device is idle for a few minutes, the Defender thinks it's a good idea to use idle time to scan the SSD - causing interference with audio playback. Of course, you cannot simply disable or stop the central antivirus process, that would ruin some the whole point. :-)

    _So I installed Kaspersky suite on the machine (which automatically disables the Windows Defender) and the problem disappeared! _ it's probably the only time where the installation of an antivirus suite SOLVES a problem. :-)

    BTW, this is not probably limited to this antivirus product, simply play a bit with the Defender.

    Best, Yuppie

    > Then I installed Kaspersky suite on the machine (which automatically disables the Windows Defender) and the problem disappeared! It's probably the only time where the installation of an antivirus suite SOLVES a problem.

    Thank you much for sharing this details here in the community.
    I guess that the information could be useful for others who have these problems of his fellow men.

  • Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

    Hi all

    I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

    I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
    But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

    However I can't do!

    Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
    Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

    I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

    You guys have any ideas what to do?

  • Satellite R830 - support Sata III for SSD drives

    Hello

    Why Toshiba Satellite R830 does not support Sata III, although the plug to motherboard. indicate that it is possible?

    So you can not significantly increase the performance of your laptop by replacing the HARD drive with disk SSD Sata III. Is it possible to activate the Sata III (6 Mbps) on R830?

    All the system settings? It's also kind of bios update request necessary support SSD and SATA III...

    Any help is appreciated! :)

    > It shows that SATA III is supported, but when you install the SSD SATA III disc it does not work with higher speeds to ~ 250 MB/s (cases Crucial M4).

    From my own experience many SSD readers need a updated firmware that is provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

    But readers in the R830 SSD seems to support these specifications:
    Host interface: Max 300 MB/s
    Reading data supported: Max 250 MB/s
    Writing data supported: Max 160 MB/s

    By the way: the R830 supports a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset and the chipset supports the storage interface high speed supports up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to 6 SATA ports, 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports support 6 Gb/s transfer rate.

  • Portege Z930 - new Windows 7 and installing the driver

    I have a Toshiba Portege Z930 Ultrabook.

    I don't use it for a while because he was very very slow when navigating or attempt to perform other tasks. I scanned the system with several antivirus (now I have Avast and Fixila, but I also used Kaspersky and Norton) and nothing came.

    Now, I decided to reinstall Windows.
    So, I received a kit of Windows 7 Pro (it's the license granted with the laptop) and I'm fighting for a week to make it work properly.

    Now seems as graphics card does not work, I have most of the hard disk full some old files of windows, etc, etc.

    1. How is the right way to install a new version of windows on this laptop (without the old installation files) and use the accessories available on the laptop (graphics card, fingerprints... tool)

    And YES, I tried all THE drivers available on the Toshiba support successfully section only for the wireless card.

    2. have you had problems with the speed?

    Thank you
    Victor

    Hello

    > Now looks like graphics card does not.

    Does that mean exactly? Graphics card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
    In case it is, the driver is installed and works of the GPU.

    What Portege Z930-xxx are you?
    The exact part number might be useful to check the specs of the laptop.

    By the way: the driver / software installation is not very difficult.
    Forget the other Toshiba software if you n t want to install it
    Pick up the pilots only...

    However, some parts of the software as a value-added Package must be installed because this package installs a range of important public services.

    Is it possible to Exchange my rom hunt for one ssd using a CD-ROM drive adapter?

    So I take the rom is also sata drive?

    If you are talking about using a HDD dock instead of the optical drive, I would like to warn against it. There was very little success stories involving this type of Exchange, usually because the controller for the optical drive is not able to work with hard drives or SSDS, IE... He expects to see a CD or DVD - ROM drive only.

  • How can I protect he'S catalogs when installing software for SSD drive & 2nd data disc

    I know that this has been answered a thousand times... but when I search, I find that a 1 000 answers and none relate exactly to my question...

    I have a laptop

    I have a technician install a 1 TB Solid State Drive adjacent to the existing "spin drive" provided with the laptop (1 TB)

    I'm having the existing drive spin "wiped clean" and reformatted

    I him have to put all THE SOFTWARE, including 10 Windows on the SSD drive

    CC - Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop will operate the SSD

    My 'current' workflow about 6 weeks of photography is retained on the SSD for faster treatment

    These last about 6 to 8 months of photography will be kept on the existing "spin drive" came with the computer.

    Previous work will be kept on a 3 TB external storage drive

    I'm dragging 633 GB of photos of my 'drive spin' on my drive external hard to ensure the guard with the upgrade is performed.

    ...........................

    And here is my fight...  I don't know enough about Adobe CC to make sure that I have all my files protect.       I know that I have several catalogs, but the drop-down list on the menu (at the signing in LR) shows about 8-10 choice and I'm only using 4 or 5!

    How Lightroom find my Photos after I drag them back to the newly - reformatted "spin drive?   I know how to find a lost file manually... So should I do hundreds of records, I have?

    Where my LR catalog folder will be stored?   Right now it is in my pictures folder.   It will be there if the Adobe program resides in the SSD?

    I have more questions... but that's enough for now...

    Thank you

    John

    First of all, your CPU is old and slow by today's standards, and clearly a faster CPU would do a faster job of making these backups.

    In the second place, it is a very large catalog file, 9.2 GB. (Are you sure that you watched the .lrcat file and not the amount of space occupied by the photos?) Yes, you are supposed to use Windows Explorer to find the size of the. LRCAT file. For comparison, my catalog with almost 30 000 images is only 1.75 GB. All the brushing, you did apparently exploded the size of your catalog.

    You can reduce the size of the catalog file by clearing the history on each photo (this leaves the changes in place but you will be able to go back in history and see the sequence of steps that you used). I'm not aware of a way to do bulk on each photo, but in the back of my mind, I think that this has been discussed in this forum and you might want to search for.

    The last thing you might consider of doing backups until you go to sleep. Just leave Lightroom open until you go to bed, then close and let the process of backup with happiness.

    So, that's all that I can think of to make this faster process right now (other that to split the catalog file, which has many disadvantages). Faster processor, remove the story and let Lightroom its backups when you sleep.

  • Try to migrate from the hard disk for ssd drive

    Hello, 4 days ago I bought dell inspiron with windows 8.1 5748 and a 1 TB hard drive.

    I also bought samsung 250 GB of ssd drive 840EVO to replace the disk of 1 TB of the laptop. I cloned the HARD disk drive and restored the image in the ssd drive and when I mounted the SDS disc and shot to the top of the laptop I got an error that it cannot detect a drive... Press F2 to enter setup F5 for diagnostics and F1 to reboot.

    First I made sure to rise properly. After I checked I entered the bios where I noticed that the drive is recognized in the details of the system. The model was correct, the capasity as well. Fashion was ahci.

    I ran the diagnostics and they couldn't locate a drive.

    So, is this an incompatibility? I checked for updates to the bios and I see I m to date on that. The player is surelly ok as I have tested on another pc...

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Add1ctiv3,

    We recommend that you use the recovery disks that are you ready when you got your system to restore the image of the original on the SSD hard drive. Since they have the same size, it should work without problem.

  • What external case for HARD drive do I need for my Portege 2010

    I have a corrupted windows XP, but fear using the repair option due to the large number of photos of my children who have yet to be backed up or displayed in a photo etc store.

    I found that you can buy a hard drive enclosure that can then be used via the USB port to download these important files before any repair option. I bought a standard encolsure 2.5 "from Maplin but the connection is a woman on both ends (enclosure and hard drive) and a few shorter pins on the drive of Toshiba wants the encolsure.
    How I progress - my wife won't let me live if I can't get these photos off the coast and professional background should not be necessary.

    Help!

    Hi Andrew

    Problem is that your Portege has 1.8 HDD and I found just this page where you can pick up some http://www.addonics.com/products/io/aks218ide.asp Info

    I hope that you will be able to backup your data.

    Good luck!!!

  • Portege R830 - need to value added for Win8 64 bit package

    Hello

    I have a Portege R830-1 and I am very disappointed with Toshiba.

    I have the function keys working on the first month of windows 8. whenever a windows update broke that for me and after that the kys function no longer works.

    I reformatted the pc, I have tryied all what I found on the web, but the only thing I found is the added value of the package or the memory card controller is missing. I tried to install and reinstall all the versions, but it seems to be 32 bit and no 64-bit version. So I have to wait for the next release of PVAT

    Windows 8 was released many months and I think that the problem is not difficult to solve.

    Is it possible to return the function keys to live?
