Questions and swap hard drive M18x R2

First, let me describe the problem.  For the last couple months my Alienware M18x R2 acted weird.  It started with not to close or put on correctly, should be really really a lot of time to stop it.  I thought it might be memory related and replaced it with GSkill RAM with timings better and things seem to be improving a little bit.  Now lately it was stop in the middle of games.  Just black out and closing.  Recently there has been some problems with updates.

I did a restore of the system when I know it was not working properly, run Eset, Malware bytes, disk cleanup, defragmentation, and he did not better.  So I ran support assist, and Alienware autopsy by the Bios and everything is OK.

My rig has 2 gpu 675 m GeForce, 32 GB of RAM, 64 GB mSata cached, 2 x 512 GB 7200 RPM HDD RAID 0.  Out of warranty

I thought that the hard drives are failing or corrupt. There is a very slight on slot higher RPM.  So I decided I want to replace the SSDS and possibly upgrade the 120 or 128 GB mSATA.

This is so a few questions-

1. What size SSD work? 7mm, 9.5 mm?  I plan to get at least 2 480 GB RAID 0

2. it has SATA III for correct readers?

3 is it worth it to upgrade my mSATA cached to disk or not?  Is this SATA II or III

I'll do a clean install of windows 7 Professional on them.

I was watching Mushkin reactor or chronos, San disk ultra.  Everyone runs it 730 s Intel in a M18x, I hear that they are running more hot.  I am looking for performance and reliability. I in playing time.

News, thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Hello

  1. It supports 7 MM SSD
  2. It supports mSATA SSD SATA II and SATA III, for the ordinary 2.5 inch hard disks, it only supports SATA II.
  3. The upgrade, it might increase performance since its being used as a caching device. It is compatible SATA II and SATA III.

  • Question of swap hard drive NAS Datastore

    I make a hard drive on my QNAP NAS hotswap... as long as it's RAID 1. I have RAID 6, so I have to stop my NAS to swap a hard drive.

    Stupid question: can I stop my NAS without closing all my virtual machines? I can make sure there is no change to the VMs. Sorry, I'm looking for an easy solution < g >. I don't have a storage vMotion-enabled.

    One of my hard drives in the NAS is to launch during the self-test read errors.

    Thank you

    Without stopping the virtual machine, you will need to move to a different external storage device.  If you have any other storage to move the virtual machine then your only option is to stop.

  • swapping hard drives between 8115-PXI and PXI-8105 won't boot to the top

    I have a test system running Windows XP on the PXI-8105.  I have upgraded the full test for another project system and upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade works on Windows 7 and PXI-8115.  I have Windows 7 and the new test software of new hard drives that have been loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to modernize the PXI-8105 with them.  It does not work.  Windows begins to start, but fails and trying over and over again.  In order to make the PXI-8105 offline to troubleshoot, I replaced it with the PXI-8115 and the old disk (WinXP).  It did not start, either.

    Here is a summary of my situation:

    • An old a PXI-8105 system running Windows XP

    • A new system has PXI - 8115 Win7 running

    • A hard drive (with Win7) since the PXI-8115 does not start on the PXI-8105

    • A hard drive (with WinXP) since the PXI-8105 does not start on the PXI-8115

    What is different between two controllers PXI that prevents me to swap hard drives?

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

    So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

    The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
    If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

    I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

    Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

    * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

    Hello

    I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
    But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  • Authentication of computers 2 after swapping hard drives

    My processor of the computer crashed while I bought 2 genuine 2 retailers refurbished Dell computers.  I confirmed the authentication with Dell.  A computer was XP Pro and the other had Windows 7 with 7 offices to help retailers OEM licenses.  They both have been authenticated by SM.  After bringing home PC, I swapped hard drives.  How (if possible) I authenticate these while MS recognizes and updates?

    What you did is not possible. Windows and Office OEM versions live and die on the computer on which they are first installed. OEM licenses are not transferable.

  • Portege M300: Can I use a faster and bigger HARD drive

    Morning,

    is it possible to have a faster and bigger hard drive? Maybe something 7200 rpm or more?

    A 30GB / 40 GB/60 GB/80 GB/100 GB hard with 4200 and 5400 RPM 2.5-inch drives are supported.

    These hard drives, you can get anywhere.

  • Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

    Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.
