Problems of E6420 with SSD SATA3

I've been running my E6420 with a standard drive RPM Hitachi 7 k for over a year without any problems.  For reference, the disc label shows SATA 3 Gb/s (i.e. SATA2).

I recently got a neutron GTX SSD Corsair, which of course supports SATA3.  When installing in Bay SATA internal of my E6420, the BIOS usually does not recognize the disc at all, although sometimes the BIOS sees it, but Windows 7 does not start with various "I/o error',"General read error"or"missing bootmgr"messages.

Interestingly, if I put the SSD in an eSATA enclosure, the SSD is systematically identified correctly in the BIOS and Windows 7 installs and starts well enough, but at slow speeds of the eSATA port.

Now...  Before point us to the drive being bad, I installed the SSD drive in a desktop equipped with a port SATA3 and DSS ran flawlessly at full speed.

So, it seems NOT to be a problem with the drive.

That said, it's always a weird situation that, apparently, Bay SATA internal of my E6420 is very happy with the conduct of a RPM Hitachi 7 disc k SATA2 speeds up, but has problems with a SATA3 SSD.

Any ideas?  Is it possible to control the internal SATA Bay and perhaps force mode SATA2 or SATA3?  I guess that all this should be automatic...

Thank you!

Well, I'm happy to announce that my neutrons Corsair GTX is now functioning very well in my E6420.  Unfortunately, it took 2 motherboard replacement, but now I'm all good!  ATTO shows 450-500 MB / s, which is awesome!  Thanks for all the tips on the road, just the world - but it looks like it was just a problem of material in the end.

  • Satellite U840W - how it works with SSD and HDD drives?

    American,

    I have a U840W which is a beautiful piece of work. He currently heads the Win7.
    It has a hybrid drive system, SSD 32 G and 500G HARD drive. Apparently the 32G acts as a cache.

    I tried to install Linux Mint as a dual boot with Win7.

    Cannot make it work. The installation process (Ubiquity) does not see disks or partitions.
    In a file manager or the GPart-partition manager, I see the HARD drive and all partitions.

    Help me to help the developers of the ubiquity of the problem of access to disks I can get a
    explanation of the way in which the disk system is organized and how it works?

    Any help greatly appreciated, Ian.

    The LINUX community already knows your answer and has led the path to resolve, such as the forum of mint as this thread:

    http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=124299

    Even Microsoft Windows has trouble with setup.exe on disc SSD/HDD hybrid and the Microsoft forums are polluted with their own unverified solutions, some of which are frighteningly superstitious that authoritative to be listed here.

    Ubi, Gnome and KDE are all based on the ability of Grub reliable start the player and so many different distributions don't guarantee reliability.

    I don't have the problem you describe with hybrid hard drives since the installation of 11 Unbuntu.

    Mint is not my first choice with the exception of a bureau of temporary replacement, since the authors are strongly focused on the Office UI, less than the largest army of coders behind Unbuntu and Fedora.

    I'm not criticizing the currency of your choice, but comparing the current Unbuntu boot process could shorten your objective dissection of a startup process of OEM from a manufacturer known for securing lower level specifications.

  • HPE-495 desktop - HARD drive is u/s, please help to rebuild with SSDS

    Hi all

    [[2 TB Hitachi SATA 3.0 GB/s] HARD drive GL8E]. The current failed HARD drive is connected to the sata1 and there is a spare on the motherboard sata2. Spare power supplies available [CH 4 & ch 5]. Office was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I would like to install a 840 EVO Samsung 250 GB SSD SATA 3 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1 and a second [still undecided 2 TB Western Digital SATA 3] as data drive.

    These discs are backaward compatible with the existing architecture of SATA - y at - it all isuues with this proposal, would I need to make changes to the BIOS, other than this initial boot off dvd player to install the new windows on the ssd drive?

    Thank you very much.

    If you replace the current HARD drive with SSD in SATA1, new in SATA2 HARD drive and let the CD/DVD in SATA3 on your HP Pavilion Elite HPE-495uk desktop, your computer should boot the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DVD into the CD/DVD drive. This assumes that the disks are new with absolutely no data on them. You may need to, press the "ESC" key or the "F # ' suitable for your computer, select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  • HP Pavillion DV6700: Is my HP Pavilion DV6700 Compatible with SSD?

    I would like to know if my HP laptop is compatible with SSDS. An Internet search turns postings that say that it is possible and other thay say my PC is not compatible with SSDS.

    Here is some info on my installation.

    My PC is a HP Pavilion DV6700 CTO Entertainment Notebook
    I am running Windows 7
    The PC came with Windows Vista

    The BIOS is Hewlett - Packard l58 2008-06-16
    The processor is Intel Core Duo CPU T7500 to 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 2 carrots, 2 logical processors

    The new SSD is a Samsung SSD of 850 EVO.

    (1) my PC is compatible with SSDS?

    (2) are there updates the BIOS or the settings of the software that I need to know?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Yes, it is a fully native SATA (ahci) system and an SSD works perfectly. With Windows 7 operating system will know it is a SSD and activate the TRIM and other optimizations to the SSD. It will be a version SATA slower that curent models but you still benefit greatly from an SSD. You must update the BIOS on this model, but not because of the SSD. There isn't quite enough important updates BIOS for this model which correct some problems of initial material as the fan operation and resume the suspension.

    It is hoped that someone had done a similar job. I know that the HDD in
    This machine supports the SATA drives, but I don't know if the motherboard
    supports several types of SATA drives. I have read several topics on
    users who have bought an SSD for the replacement of the old HARD disk in
    the laptop - just to find out that the motherboard did was too old and has not been
    compatible with SSDS. Even if the motherboard supports some types
    SSDS, this is no guarantee that it will work with the purchased SSD.

    The SSD I think to buy, will be one of them:

    Corsair SSD Force Series 120GB 2.5 GT "
    SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 555MB / 515 MB/s write 85 k IOPS (4 k aligned), w/support

    (the first is the better of the two SSD drives, but the last of them has
    SandForce integrated, which (from what I've read) is preferred with
    old computers when upgrading for SSDS).

    If someone could give me some info on this topic, I would be
    very grateful!

    It is always problematic to be around some old piece of newer hardware standards and technology. I n t have this old Satellite but my friend had it.

    Satellite L40's old laptop budget very simply the hardware configuration, so I think that you will not be able to use newest SSDS to this topic.

    I really hope someone else can post a positive experience on these updates. What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba service provide by phone and ask for some advice. They have exact specifications for laptop and, I hope, can help you with this.

    By the way: I put t know what is the reason for these updates? More performance, more low composition of power or something else?

  • activate the AHCI mode on Envy Dv7 - 7398ca with SSD

    Year old i7 envy Dv7 - 7398ca notebook with SSD Samsung 840 Pro x 256.  Windows 8.1

    I've updated to the SSD shortly after I purchsed the laptop.

    No problem except the Samsung SSD Wizard software keeps tagging me as AHCI mode is disabled and must be enabled and I do not see it in the BIOS.

    Or I see anything that relates in the device as IDE Manager or other.

    It seems that the SSD is optimizing not itself based on the fact that it considers that AHCI is disabled.

    I apologize for the issue being this topic seems to be beaten to death over time, but I do not see what relates to this model or similar.

    Thanks for all the ideas.

    The system is set to ahci or RAID mode. You can tell that by opening the Device Manager and look at the storage controllers. Anyway it is optimized for SSDS and TRIM is activated. You can simply remove the program from Samsung and rest assured that your SSD is optimized.

  • Replacement X 220 HDD with SSD?

    Hi people,

    1 can you replace the built in hard drive on a X 220 with a SSD?

    2. If possible, where can I find instructions on how to do it?

    3. If possible, should be a tiny philips screwdriver - where can we got such a tool?

    TIA,

    1 Yes
    2 x 220 guide on the Lenovo site. No problem to install the new 7 mm or 9 mm ssd
    3. Yes, you will need a small scredriver

    I replaced the standard hard drive with ssd Intel 320 Series. The only thing you will need is tool of s/w for transfer system and the date on the new SSD. Another tool is to tweak Windows for the use of SSDS. Nothing tool you will need to charge Windows 7 install direct on the ssd.

  • (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

    I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

    It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

    My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

    However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

    But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

    And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

    As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

    Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

    I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

    Someone at - it the same problem with me?

    Any suggestion is appreciated!

  • Updated by Satellite Pro L450 with SSD

    Any advice on installing a SSD 128 GB in place and place of the hard drive, use this for the operating system (Windows 7) and put the old HDD in the optical drive slot to serve as storage.

    Is this easy to do on this model, and a new facility would be wiser than cloning?

    There is no files on the drive apart from the operating system that must be preserved - all documents etc. are on googledrive, dropbox and onedrive.

    Adjustments will have to be made when you perform a new installation to keep the recovery on D files?

    Earlier, I created a system restore disk - does that include Windows 7, or would I need to download it and get the license number.

    Is it fairly easy to connect and use the USB "System Restore" to re - load Windows?

    Thanks for all the answers

    It s a good idea to replace the HARD drive with SSD drive.
    You will definitely get a boost huge performance.
    I did these updates in the past, and my laptop runs a lot faster.

    But the question is whether the HARD drive would be recognized by BIOS placed in ODD Bay.

    To be honest I n don't know if this will be possible since the laptop does not support the special feature of selection-Bay. In the past, some other laptops Toshiba Tecra and Portege series supported these updates (HARD drive in the Bay of WEIRD) but I'm not very well on laptops Satellite m.

    Of course, you can try these updates, but in the worst cases the HARD drive will not be recognized by the BIOS if you put in the ODD Bay
