ProBook 640 G1: ProBook G1 - SATA Bay Secondary speed 640

Hello

I replaced the optical drive with a HARD drive.

The HARD drive is capable of 6 GB/s but when the value at the same speed in the BIOS I get errors when using the HARD drive.

If I set the speed SATA 3 GB/s in the BIOS then it works properly.

My questions are:

1. in the event that the secondary Bay be able to support SATA 6 GB/s speeds

2. If I change the speed 3 GB/s SATA in the BIOS, will also reduce the speed of my primary SSD SATA 3 GB/s.

Thanks in advance for your help.

No and Yes. I have long tried to persuade people not to make the caddy optical drive without good thing understand what is happening. The interface is SATA-i: an optical drive has more than that. If you set the SATA mode in the BIOS to 300 Mbps which will Crown all SATA transfers. Having said that, in the reality of exploitation, SATA-II does not give much against SATA-III, the only difference is theoretical maximum burst that is rarely achieved in any case speed. Just updated to SATA-II in the BIOS and use it this way would be my advice or get a SSD for the main drive. A SATA-II SSD is still much faster than any HDD.

  • 4430 s ProBook: probook 4430 s Bay undetected on the bios upgrade

    Hi all

    I have a problem about 4430 s probook boot configuration. I just bought an ssd drive and I want to make a double system with two disk by adding the ssd via a caddy on the portable player. The problem is that I don't see the "notebook" option upgrade Bay on the startup command option.

    ERICO, exchanging, I'll be able to boot from my SSD, but I don't always get to choose which drive I want to start, right?  That's right

    If you install Linux on the disk hard inheritance after Windows 7 has already been installed on the SSD drive and use the GRUB boot loader, it should be doable.

  • SAS 6/iR integrated SAS + SATA (SSD) negotiated speed PE1950

    Hello

    I installed on my PE1950 III two disks in SAS 6/iR integrated (embedded).

    The first is SAS 73 GB 15 k that uses 3Gbps and the second is EVO 840 Samsung 250 GB (ssd). I know that these SSD is not supported by Dell, but it works very well, just one problem: I'm having negotiated speed 1.50Gbps, which should be 3 Gbps (Maximum reading rate I'm testing is ~ 150 MB/s, this SSD supports up to 500 MB/s).

    I have not installed on a SATA Interposer, mixing with SAS hdd on the controller. Could interposer solve the problem and let me use entire 3Gbps from the channel? I have an unused connection to the House, but by asking if it's worth going to the data center and place one on the SATA.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Yes, the SSD is not officially supported on the SAS 6/IR.

    Sometimes I run a similar setup on my home desktop system. I had not noticed that my EVO 840 had negotiated to 1.5.

    I started the BIOS of the SAS 6 controller and indeed the negotiated 840 to 1.5. I'm on my OS on the EVO GB 840 250 and I 2x1To than SATA in RAID 0 for the data drives. The SATA drives are 3.0.

    I installed the latest version of the Samsung magician software: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html and used it to update the EVO to the latest firmware. I rebooted and started in the BIOS OF THE controller without change. He was still negotiating to 1.5.

    Then, I stole an inserter of one of my 2950 servers and attached to the EVO 840. I started in the BIOS OF THE controller, and it is now negotiating to 3.0, so it would seem that an inserter will allow him to negotiate the connection speed correctly.

    Thank you

  • Synchronize the PowerEdge T320 SATA 3GBPs single speed

    Hi, I have a week old T320 with controller RAID H310 delivered with 2 x 1 TB SATA disks replaceable hot (s.3 - Reference Dell Constellation: 0T4XXN, Seagate ST100NM0033).

    The sync rate max - as stated in the BIOS H310 and the lifecycle of the controller is 3Gbps. The RAID H310 map is a map of 6 GB/s that came out in recent years and are these disks SATA 6 GB/s (according to the data sheet of the Seagate)

    I talked to Dell 'support', and they said that they had no speed specified in the documentation of the disc, so they did not know (!).

    Dell is still actually delivered 3GBPs readers - i.e. special gradient firmware?

    They suggested that I talk to sales to change the drives I - but what for? SAS would be an expensive option for sure and if 'support' don't know the specs of their own parties what is sales are going to do.

    Any ideas?

    For anyone interested, I was correct - Dell hinder their SATA 6GBPs drives up to 3GBPS, and have done since 2009. Apparently, it's a deliberate policy, as they had problems with some servers at the time using specifications SATA III-, but its silly to keep this policy more than 5 years later.

    If no server generation 12 - e.g. T320 - don't comes with disks SATA 6GBPs despite the fact that the 'same' exact drive model bought because say OEM Seagate s.3 works thankfully to 6 Gbps. Dell simply artificially degraded performance in their firmware.

    With gen 13 servers there is now a * choice * SATA speed - but why?, why same still power SATA II drives to a new server? -at least I know now what is the question.

  • Port SATA - optiplex gx620 speed

    We have an optiplex gx620. I just got a disk sata - samsung sp2504c hard. It runs at 300 Mbps. I wonder if the optiplex supports this speed? I checked the manuals and don't see anything about it.

    Thank you.

    The OptiPlex GX620 supports SATA II technology with a throughput of up to 300 MB/s bandwidth. Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is not supported on the GX620, however, because the ICH7 does not support. The BIOS indicates the link speed by car on the disks information screen to assist users to determine the type of car they have. A link speed of 1.5 Gb/s SATA I and a speed of 3.0 GB/s link indicates SATA II.

  • Only supports HP Probook SATA 3 [6 Gbps]

    Hello

    I have a printer "hp probook 4520 s ' two years now. I desided to upgrade the HDD with a SSD [Pro - 500 GB Samsung 840]. What I notised, it's that the ssd reads and writes with half the speed (250 MB/s instead of 500 MB/s). I installed "Samsung magician" (utility Samsung to optimize the ssd and motitoring) on my laptop. The utility above indicates that I did all the necessary OS tunning (power TRIM, optimazing etc.), but there was a single message: 'your system does not support a SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA 3) ports' (see image below). I believe that HP ProBook 4520 s supports "SATA 6 Gb/s". My questions are: (1) fact ProBook supports SATA 6 Gb/s? (2) if not, can I upgrade the hardware/software to support SATA 6 Gb/s and how?

    Concerning

    Hello

    The bandwidth is 3 Gbit/s, which means that controller is SATA 2 and it shows your SSD SATA 3. No, you can't unless change you the motherboard and a few other things = new machine.

    Kind regards.

  • You can a second Sata hard drive in the M series?

    Hello

    Can I install a second hard drive in the M series?

    In particular, I would like to install a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB drive.

    I know he has a Bay, but I can shelter the disc in another case.

    Thank you

    I think it depends on the version of the m series that you have.

    the series m72e (small footprint); There is only a single 3.5 "sata bay.

    on the motherboard there are 3 sata headers (cd player / hard drive + 1 other).

    the way I did it was to order a double silverstone 2.5-online adapter disk 3,5 '' screwed into the slot of the drive (be careful; not all Player cards have lower fastening screws).

    This allowed me to put a ssd 2.5 "and a 2.5 hard drive" in the case.

    otherwise, it would be pretty tight/impossible to squeeze in 2 size 3.5 "hard drives in the m72e

  • How do I know if my laptop has two bays HARD drives?

    Hello

    Dv6-6093ex product name

    Product number: LM610EA

    If I had upgraded to standrad HDD in an SSD and want to leave the HARD drive installed in drive secondray Bay. Can my laptop cause two bays for HARD drives?

    I install SSD on the main drive Bay. If I don't need the HARD drive storage space, I'll just move to the disk bay secondary school (I assume that my laptop has two bays for HARD drives).

    Your laptop has a 2.5-inch HDD Bay. There is no WSSD slot so you can have a single hard drive, unless you are willing to give up the optical drive, in which case you can use an optical drive for hard drive adapter. If you want to use a SSD put in the slot 2.5 internal and a hard drive in the Bay optical adapter.

  • Then an IdeaPad S10 manage a SATA 300 HD?

    I dropped my Ideapad at Christmas and who seems to have seriously damaged the HD.

    I can see this drive is a WD 160 GB SATA - 150 HD-, but because the SATA-300 discs are cheaper, I would like to put one of those in place.

    I am aware that I can get a SATA-150 disc speed - but will it work at all?

    Hello and welcome...

    You can use all 2.5 "Sata HDD with high 9.5 mm up to 640 GB (or more) when the trays with 9.5 mm height is available... they have same speed max sata-300, you get the Sata - 150 chipset due speed limits in all netbooks (another way to brands, so it is not limited by lenovo)...

  • HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl: support SSD SATA III?

    Hello

    I think about adding a 2nd. hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl.

    The current drive of 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be the 2nd. drive and a new SSD will be 1. drive (System and boot).

    I was looking for this information, but I couldn't find the answer. My doubts are:

    1. the dv7 - 4083 cl does support SATA III? If I install a SATA III disc, will it work to its full potential, or as a SATA II drive? In other words, can I buy a SSD SATA II drive cheaper because I wouldn't have the performance of a most recent hard drive SSD SATA III?

    2. a 256 GB SSD support this machine? Or is it just up to 160 GB?

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    You know the chipset specifications to determine what version of your laptop SATA drive will manage transfer speeds to.

    Your laptop computer has a chipset Mobile Intel series 5 (HM55) who can run that hard disks to the SATA II transfer speed.

    Not until you get to new Intel 6 Series chipsets and can they run SATA III drives to SATA III speed.

    Here is the link to the plug on the chipset of your notebook.  Note the SATA 3.0 GB/S specifications.

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-HM55.html

    Since your laptop comes standard with a 500 GB HARD drive, I imagine a 250 GB SSD should work fine.

    However, the recovery disks may not work on a smaller hard drive.

  • DV7-6178us 2 TB hard

    Hello, I want to improve my dv7-6178us with a 2 TB drives.

    The service manual says that maximum size is 1 TB but sometimes this is not exact and portable can handle larger disks. Is this someone puts 2 TB in this laptop?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't think they have yet issued portable 2 TB disks which are 9.5 mm thick. If such an animal is available for purchase (2.5 inches width 9.5 mm thick SATA laptop hard drive) it will work on your laptop in the Bay secondary as long you have the right caddy/cable for this Bay.

  • Installation of a second disk in the Qosmio F30

    Hi guys and girls :)

    I just bought the secondary hard drive for my Qosmio F30, but when I opened the drive Bay, I found that I have a problem with the installation of the drive on my hands.

    First of all, I tried to put the new drive in the Bay and press down lightly to connect with power and data connectors sata and it works perfectly, but it is impossible to move the laptop around since the disc is a bit loose in the Bay and I'm worried a little for my data and the drive itself.

    Then, I opened the first Bay and noticed that original Toshiba drive is kept in place with the help of some mount thin metal plate, which is set on the disk and the Bay with a few screws.

    I checked the Web for any revision of the F30 model that might have pictures of the Bay secondary in his State and found a few. See the photos of the same thing Im. Check this one out, it clearly shows the high Bay (sata connectors are right and not visible):
    http://www.Ferra.ru/images/179/179520.jpg

    Note a small screw hole on the left side of the Bay, clearly intended to fix the mounting plate similar with hdd secondary on the laptop. The plate which is, unfortunately, not included with my computer.

    Did someone here had the same problem and if so, how to solve?

    Hello

    As you have already said the HARD drive need a special framework that maintains the 2.5 HARD drive in the Bay.
    This frame and the screws required, you can order directly from the authorized service provider who is responsible for your country.

    I recommend talking to these guys here and explain what you need.

  • HP ENVY 17-j006ea SSD Upgrade - necessary caddy?

    Hello

    My model (HP ENVY 17-j006ea) came with two hard drives. I use the primary for windows and only for programs and I would like to replace it with an SSD.

    Do I need to buy a Bay secondary adaptar - or can I use the same parts that are currently used for my main drive?

    Thank you very much

    You have 2 Bay adapters for 2 hard drives. You can use an SSD in the adapter currently used for the main drive. The model of hole and the location of the SATA connectors is the same. Bay primary and secondary adapters are a little different and not interchangeable, but if you have one of each, you have everything you need. Post back with more questions.

I then worked my through the various settings required in the operating system for one SSD maximize its usefulness as travel page file on the HARD drive, deleting hibernation, switching to restore in Control Panel and the last was to change registry settings to activate the DIANE and select it in the bios. However, the "F2" for this model Envy Bios has no option for IDE or DIANE. What this means and am I actually losing any ability to form my SSD if DIANE is not enabled?

    Hello:

    The contoller drive in your model can be set to RAID and that cannot be changed.

    You can check that the speed control is set to RAID if you go to Device Manager and see a category of storage controllers.

    Click to expand this category and you will see a controller RAID SATA Intel that are listed there.

    As long as you have installed the driver Intel RST that you'll TRIM full support for your SSD in RAID mode and you should ignore all the warnings on the drive doesn't work is not in AHCI mode.
