Re: Where is the SSD in R500?

Hello

My R500 with 64 GB SSD does not start after the start of "Toshiba" screen I want to check if the SSD is correctly connected but I can't find where is the real SSD! I removed the bottom cover and the Ribbon of the PCMCIA connector but have never worked with a lappie using SSD. I don't know what I'm looking for.

Can anyone help? A screenshot or some sort of picture would be useful as well.

Thank you.

Hello!

As far as I know, the HARD disc is placed on the lower side on most laptops. Therefore, you must remove the cover of the HARD drive which is set by one or two screws.

On some laptops, but it is not so easy to exchange the HARD drive. Therefore, you must remove the keyboard or full low side. It's a little tricky and you must also remove many screws.
In my opinion the best way is that you ask a technician for help laptop.

In addition, the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

Good bye

    Thank you

    Hello!

    In my opinion, it could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. I mean you have tried another drive and the computer laptop doesn t read this disc too.
    So for me it sounds like this drive is also defective.

    But as Akuma said you should also check the SATA Mode in the BIOS.

    I think the best way would be to contact you nearest ASP. They can check a defective hardware for laptop parts and Exchange. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.

  • Portege R500 - can I change the SSD?

    Hello. The question of replacement, replace the ssd.

    I myself PORTEGE R500 (PPR50U-02M01W version) with SAMSUNG_MCCOE64GQMPQ_SE805B0137. He has only 64 GB.

    I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace by something big, they said it's impossible! HOW DO I? It should be possible to replace the 64 GB SSD 256 GB SSD!

    If anyone can give me the link to SSD, who's going to fit 100% into my existing ssd will be very grateful!

    > I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace by something big, they said it's impossible! HOW DO I? It should be possible to replace the 64 GB SSD 256 GB SSD!

    And why wouldn't this possible? The technician said that?
    To my knowledge, it should be possible to use any disk SSD because SSD drives use the same interface as ordinary hard drives

    As far as I know there is a common controller SATA and SSD with SATA interface should work

    That s in my opinion

    Hello

    You must add the SATA/RAID driver.
    Download from here:
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/RAID-drv-20070719134547.zip

    Now, go to the BIOS and on the 3rd page of the BIOS, you can change the RAID settings to * 1RAID-0. *.
    Eventually, you will need to enter the password 1234 + and then press on + ENTER +.
    Now boot from the Windows 7 installation disc.
    Select "Custom Installation.
    Connect the USB where the RAID driver files

    Regarding the selection of the target (SSD drive isn't visible yet) disk, select "Load Driver" and navigate to the USB key, where is the folder with the drivers. Setup for Win 7 now allows you to select a memory stick USB attached.

    Confirm and after that we should include a list of available devices (SOLID-STATE drive)

  • Where are the SATA 3 Digital in Satellite P850-12Z connectors?

    Hi, I'm new to the forum.

    I bouth a P850 Satellite last year and I plan to replace the cd with a SSD driver. However, I wonder if the conector of the driver CD is a SATA 3 or 2 SATA to maximize the writing and reading of the speed of the SSD.

    As far as I know the chipset (intel hm76) has two SATA 3 ports. I guess that one is used in the main HDD... but not quite sure that the drive is a SATA 2.

    Is there a way to know if the CD driver uses one of the two SATA 3 ports?

    Kind regards
    Emilio

    Of way General Toshiba does not support these updates and it is not possible to find an official statement, where you can find info about 100% compatible caddy HDD/SSD.

  • Use of the SSD and HDD

    Hello world

    My poor old MP3.1 seems to be labour especially now with El Capitan so I thought that perhaps I should start by upgrading to SSD?

    Here's how my Mac Pro is right now with my HD installed as follows:

    Bay 1

    Western Digital Black WD6401AALS 640GO (10 of Windows running and all other software)

    Bay 2

    Western Digital Black WD6401AALS 640GO (running El Capitan and all other software)

    Bay 3

    Western Digital Green WD10EZRX 1 TB (used for Windows 10 backups)

    Bay 4

    Western Digital Caviar 3200KS 320 (Time Machine backups)

    External USB

    Western Digital Elements 500 GB (Time Machine backups)

    A few questions I have about it are:

    1. Should I buy more small capacity SSD use them for the operating system and store everything IE photos, movies and music on existing HD?
    2. Any software that is extra games and third-party programs should they be installed on the same disk as the operating system or HD?

    If anyone has a suggestions I'd love to know and thanks a lot in advance!

    I've updated my Macs to SSD 2.  In both cases, I decided to become just big enough SSD to contain all my normal stuff, with room for growth.

    I have more than enough knowledge to split my environment between several disks, but I didn't want the hassle.

    But if you go with the House split, then enjoy iTunes and iPhoto/Photos option to specify where the library is, so you can move your files, music and photos on the other disk.  Another thing, if the application does not support a pointer to the new home of folder, you can do using Unix symbolic links in your home, SSD that point to the other disk.

    Just replace your device to normal boot together with a sufficiently large SSD, means also that you do not need to understand which disk is used to host the SSD while keeping the current for your big files disc.

    If you have decided to split your home environment, then as you have completed all your slots, I interrupt the internal TimeMachine backup and just use the external drive (if you want backups Time Machine, put the TimeMachine drive in an external enclosure, or get a new external drive.  Then re - purpose internal unit TimeMachine current housing for the SSD.

  • HP 700-330qe: how to disable or replace the SSD on HP 700-330qe

    Help for my HP 5 months! It kills Me!

    I bought a HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon and just started getting SMART of Windows hard disk errors whenever my computer restarts, telling me that the hard drive failure is imminent. He also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, save it, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never seen it in any PC I owned before. Naturally, I freaked out and did some internet research, discover that it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new hard drive Western Digital 3 TB of Amazon, a docking station for disc brand cable hard of Amazonia and downloaded the Macrium Reflect free disk management software.

    Items from Amazon arrived in a few days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, it opens and replaced the old hard disk with a new one. Start the computer to the top and got the same message on imminent hard drive failure! So I paid more attention to it this time and looked up the model number in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM - 016 G-1006. I Googled that and found it was the disk solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh.

    I stuck my old hard drive in the hard drive docking station and was ready to be cloned partition SSD and all partitions on the hard drive to the hard drive and the removal or at least unplug the SSD drive to get rid of this problem. The software told me that the SSD is shaped as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive, formatting, so you cannot copy these different types of partitions on a hard drive.

    So here's my options as I see them:

    (1) I have to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will always start the same. Windows is partially installed on SSD? I do not know.

    (2) to clone and replace the DSS about the same way I did with the main hard drive. I can get the SSD according to Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60 GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (height of 7mm) with adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A / 60G.

    For the option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM SSD of ScanDisk is currently installed in my computer! It is in the hard drive cage? I don't see anything else installed there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think that what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I don't have on CD Player installed and I can see where it is. Help!

    PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and it allows to analyze the SSD drive. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (on tens of thousands of blocks), but when he finished the analysis it says there is a lot of blocks. For this to happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than hard disks of small, to make this so much more aggravating situation. At least, I upgraded my hard drive 2 TB to 3 TB and know now that I can do. Sigh.

    Yes, I had a frusrtrating very experience with HP customer support, even after it was raised to a case manager based in the United States, who called me home. She found no part at all in its computer system and wanted to send me in my whole PC to a service center customer (it was still under warranty) which would take at least 3 weeks. I said no and went forward and the DSS out of my computer. I stopped receiveing the error messages and did not notice a slow down in performance, but went ahead and bought and installed this one, just in case it actually provides an advantage: My Digital 32 GB SSD Bullet Proof (on Amazon for $25).

    As a note to end funny to this drama, about 6 months after my discussion with HP support I describe above, I have randomly mailed an envelope of HP with the exact 16 GB SSD, they said that they didn't in their system. It also included an envelope to return my faulty SSD and a stern note saying if they do not receive the defective item within 3 days my credit card (that I never gave them) would be charged. I threw a long time ago the defective item and just throw it back into a drawer... or maybe that I returned it in the envelope for return of defective product? I don't remember really.

    In any case, it was a horrible customer service experience, and since then I have another HP Envy (my PC 3 year to my son) have a hard drive and video card fail at the same time. I replaced the two after a few problems, but no matter what I do, it can get its setup dual monitor want to work more. I tried several video cards and nothing.

    All of these factors combined caused me write off HP for the future PC purchases. The guys in my company IT say it's the reason why we only buy Dell computers at work (we have hundreds of maintain). They do not use strange pieces like these small SSD cache records, and their parts are standard and easy to replace because of the case. I'll either get a Dell or ASUS as my next PC.

  • How much will cost to fix the SSD on a MacBook Pro 13 of retina?

    Recently the SSD on my MacBook Pro of retina starts to die since I move 350mpbs writing and reading 500mbps. I think to replace the SSD it myself but I don't know where to find relevant and I don't know M.2 SSD since they come in different fittings etc... I missed the guarantee of 2 weeks! I'm in the United Kingdom, btw. Thank you.

    Go to the Genius Bar.  SSD form factor resembles mSATA and M2, but the interface is not one of the "common" protocols

    Download a good backup.  Enter Apple to have checked equipment.  May not be as bad as you think... we are just users like you and do not want to provide false estimates.

  • Replace the SSD 2015 MBP retina

    Purchased the base early 2015 retina MBP (was on a real budget) and I'm looking to replace the SSD with a larger SSD.  I read on various forums that this can be done, but that nobody makes compatible SSD yet... However, these positions have been since around about a year ago.  Has this changed?  Is it possible to buy an SSD and replace my existing and if so, where?  Can't seem to find anything on ifixit.com, I saw mentioned OWC.

    Thank you!

    Now, there is no replacement for the SSD for Macbook Pro retina 13 or 15 (2015) as Apple use a non-standard interface of its SSD.

    The most economical way to clean large SSDS such as 512 GB or 1 TB on the last Macbook pro is to customize your rMBP when you bought from Apple so far.

  • Western Digital IcePack for the SSD mounting: problem to share

    I liked the sled of adapter form factor of 2.5 to 3.5 Western Digital IcePack for my converted Momentus XT 500 GB disks hard/Intel SSD 2.5 "for proper installation in HP xw workstations.  Most of the jobs that I use have the standard plastic 3.5 "drive green HP monte that slide in case channels meant for this.  See PDF attached on the ice.  They are very solid and well built.

    It turns out that are the two colors of the interface... red and green circuit board. Green only those that I have seen include a molded projection that is supposed to interface with a cavity on the back of some disks 2,5 "hard, that allows the transfer of the drive jumper pins hard interface in the background of the ice SATA connector (which is exposed for easy access, therefore).

    I received only of briquettes with PCB red until today, and those who have not had this projection at the end of disk 2.5 "interface.

    My SSD intel is not riders and so no mating recess and therefore not necessary for this part of the interface, but they cannot drag on the projection as a result.  My 'red' briquettes version would accept the SSD and 2.5 "hard drives with a jumper pin recess in all circumstances (but not be able to allow the manipulation of rider to end exposed sea ice).  My "green version" briquettes will can return disks 2.5 "with the cavity of jumper pin into the rear end of the car itself.

    So, for me, red is the only type I want.  I did not use jumpers on the drives for years...  If you buy a guy on eBay who these new Western Digital be sure to communicate your needs for the Red version.  It is obvious through the sealed bags of mylar.

    Scott

    CHANGE > > > > > > see below... There is actually a few briquettes with PCB being red and have the projection causing trouble, too, but they seem to be a small minority.

    I've seen 2 WD briquettes with the Green circuit board, and each of them has had this additional projection that interferes with my Intel SSD to slip in the correct position.  You can see in the pictures that "bottom basket' of the SSD Intel a flower metal where the hard drive has a"container"recessed in the same region to take account of this protrusion.

    I checked all my Velociraptors currently here, which are 2.5 "hard disks that are mounted on the plateau of the Western Digital factory.  All those who have red cards (without projection).  This is despite the fact that make Velociraptor hard drives have the recess that would accept the projection, as does the 2.5 "hard drive shown in the first photo attached.  Thus, it seems that for the WD Velociraptors does not feel the need to provide this Green type of physical interface.

    The hard drives with the recess for the projection of mesh with the Green type perfectly, but they are also perfectly on the type of red.  So, for me, I would call the "universal" type red

    If they make a red PCB with the offending projection included is something I can't answer otherwise that to tell you I have never seen one of these and have used over 20 Red types so far.

    CHANGE > > > > > > > > > visitor, below, found a specific example of an ice floe that has a red PCB and a drive to interface with the projection.  Thus, they exist but appear to be a small minority.  See my last post on how to avoid the problem.

    Your case used the background threads of 3.5 "hard drives - just need an adapter that reflects that.
