• Inspiron 1525 won't recognize Samsung SSD 840

  I try to install Windows 7 Home 64 bit to a new 840 Samsung SSD. It has been one problem after another, but I'll try to make the point.

  Tried to install DVD that starts very well and then right before the tax EULA says I need a CD/DVD driver (!). How to be with if this is really the case? I can't find any driver for it from the Dell support site so I'm stuck there.

  Anyway. A lot of research later. Know that startup and installation of the USB will work around that. It's true! I can accept the EULA and it goes to which I select the hard drive. No hard drive is displayed.

  Laptop firmware has been updated to A17. No joy.

  I can connect the SSD drive to another computer, and it will go looking for it as internal hard drive so I don't think it's DOA.

  I tried updating the firmware on the SSD to see if that would help. Although the 'Magician' utility recognizes and allows me to choose the drive, I get the following message:

  "Magician can not communicate with certain Samsung SSD. If please check with other compatible storage drivers and try again. »

  .. so I can't do either.

  Is there anything else I need to do to get the Inspiron 1525 to see that SSD?

  Thank you all.

  for the ssd to appear, you must get something to fill the void left from the old mechanical drive as it was larger than the ssd

  the problem is that you think that it goes in the slot, but in reality that the ssd is not involved it slip just right under the sata port.

  You can get support (most new ssd now come with one) and just fix it with the ssd and insert it

• Windows 8 Pro x 64 boot Samsung SSD

  Hi all

  I tried to figure this out for the last couple days. I'm at work now, but I'll try again when I get home. Here is my question-
  I recently built my own computer. My pieces are-
  Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme 3
  Intel i5 3570 k
  SAMSUNG SSD 120 GB (I think that 840 series)
  Western Digital 1 TB hard drive
  Graphics EVGA Geforce GTX 660
  8 GB RAM (I don't remember the brand of the stick on the top of my head)
  I tried to do a clean install of Windows 8 Pro x 64 bit for the SSD. In the Setup screen, it detects two drives and I select the SSD drive and install it on the SSD. He moved very well I can say because no error message appears. But when the computer restarts and boots to the top, rises the symbol of Windows 8, the loading wheel little rises and they are there for about 2 seconds and then they disappear and the screen stays black with no mouse cursor or anything. Just a black screen and there just like that. I end up having to reboot the machine. I've done everything I can think of - I went into the BIOS and made sure the boot sequence is correct. I tried starting the SSD after restarting the machine with no result. The only difference is that when I did this and also removed the x 64 installation disc, Windows 8 comes and says that he was not able to load because it lacks a partition and so I try to troubleshoot it by performing an auto repair and diagnose the problem. When I do this, Windows says it can't auto repair. I did a reset and wiped clean car and tried again, but without any result. I get the screen that shows a partition is missing (and this happens only when I boot from the SSD with the x 64 disk drive) or I get a black screen.
  Another thing I tried last night was to reformat the SSD and wipe them off, clean, disconnect the hard drive regularly so that the only smart thing was the SSD and then reinstall windows and try again, but again, nothing has changed; just black screen.
  As far as I know, all my pieces are compatible with Windows 8 Pro. I'm at work at the moment, but as soon as I go home, I go back to work on that and I hope that you guys can give me some new approaches to this problem.
  Thank you all

  Hello

  It would be better to install Win 8 to the SSD with the other hard drive unplugged...

  Win 7 and 8 hide additional start install files on extra drives\partitions to the course. If you install with the attached HARD disk and then remove it later, windows does not start...

  Generally, this can be corrected with a startup repair, but I would rather avoid it in the first place...

  Format your SSD BEFORE installing Win 8. I prefer to use a 3rd party for this program...

  You could get by reformat everything by doing a 'Clean' installation without future issues...

  For what is the real cause of your problem, I suspect that you may need to set the SATA mode in Bios to AHCI... I got an OCZ Vertex, which would install OK and start OK after... After that win 8 detected all new material, I would get is a black screen.

  Also, make sure that the SATA connector you are using is not configured for Raid...

  In addition, try to remove the graphics card and install Win 8 with the HD4000 Intel. Once everything works, then add the NVidia.

  I built a similar machine with a surfboard Z77 Extreme 4, and it is on this forum that I had the problem of the AHCI pop up.

• Samsung SSD upgrade problems

  When I try to erase the SSD drive and format it for Mac the procedure fails:

  I get: dismount disc, cannot write to the last block of the unit, failed...

  I have a MBP end 2011 with El Captan freshly installed and the SSD is Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB.

  I've seen a number of problems with the Samsung SSD on these forums.  My best advice is to contact the technical support of Samsung.  Unfortunately, some users responded that the support of Samsung was not very friendly.

  My guess is that you may have a faulty SSD and try to return it if possible.

  Ciao.

• Slow down the Evo 850 Samsung SSD

  Recently, I had a new SSD Samsung 850 EVO and installed on my macbook pro 2009. Using OSX El Capitan.

  But the reading and writing speeds I get are:

  Address: 209 MB/s

  Read: 264 MB/s

  and I should get about 450 MB for read and write at least. I went through to change the start-up as well as trimming startup disk, but did not help much.

  No idea how I can fix this problem? Thank you.

  Mbps 2009 have SATA2 connectivity.  You will not be able to experience the full capacity of the Samsung SSD.  You would need a MBP 2011 or newer to realize the full potential of this SSD. (This is when SATA3 connectivity was introduced).

  Ciao.

• Impossible to get Samsung SSD EVO to work on the Satellite L50-A0424

  I tried these last days to set up an EVO Samsung 500 GB SDD on my laptop, a Toshiba L50-A0424 and I can only call an exercise in frustration. First of all, the Samsung comes packed with a SATA cable USB cloning of the original hard drive is a pain. After cloning, the next problem is the Toshiba to accept DSS. Make me 2 errors: if I change the boot mode in the UEFI I get an error "check media prescence.

  If I change to the CSM, I get a PXE - MOF - exit Intel PXE ROM. am using the latest version of the BIOS, ver 1.9. It is; s been proposals to downgrade the BIOS to ver 1.2 but when even did not do this. Any ideas on what I can do? Feeling puzzled and irritated and really regret my decision to buy a Toshiba

  Sorry, but I must ask you this question: is recognized by the BIOS of SSD?
  Have you tried to install original recovery image on it?

  I ask this question because I use Samsung SSD on my laptop older satellite and it works without any problem.

• Advice on moving 1.5 to SATA 2 HARD drive and put the Samsung SSD on SATA 1...

  My plan is to make a DVD of W10 MS

  Power off

  Unplug 1.5 to boot/storage HDD SATA 1

  Connect Samsung SSD SATA 1

  Turning and fresh install MS W10 on SSD and let it update

  Then, can I plug 1.5 to SATA 2 HARD drive and make it just my storage via disk management?

  What steps/tips to make this an easy transition?

  Paul

  It should not matter if you use SATA1 or SATA2, but there are always exceptions.

  I got a motherboard with two different SATA [Intel & Marvel] controllers with different speeds. It is unusual, so the safest bet is to use the same SATA connector for your new SSD that you used for your old HDD.

  Since you have two bootable disks, you may need to go into EUFI/BIOS and set your boot order to boot from the new SSD first.

  You should be able to access the files on the old drive without problems, but I've seen on occasion where you will get an "Access denied" error due to 'permissions' problems, especially if the original/OS disk has been protected by a password. If you have any questions, you can create a linux live boot disk "to access your files.

  Instead keep you the old drive as is, with an operating system and boot volumes on it, you must backup/move your important files to your new SSD then remove all volumes on the old disk, create a volume, and then format to use as a data/backup drive.

• Still slow after Samsung SSD Pro 850

  I recently installed Samsung SSD 850 pro on my mbp 2012. There is no significant difference in its speed before and after. Application of test of speed magic Black Watch reading and writing speeds both somewhere between 40 - 60 MB/s. If disappointing! I'm not a tech guy but there might be people out there who have experienced this problem and have regained hope. If you know a solution please share.

  This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post moved to the forum of laptop MacBook Pro or another appropriate forum.

• SAMSUNG SSD 850 helps Pro

  Hello

  I recently bought and installed the Samsung SSD 256 GB 850 Pro in my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro.  Everything seems to work very well; However, when I run the speed test of black magic, I get only between 30-100 read and write speed of 100-250.

  The way I installed it was:

  -Deletion of original HD

  -SSD installed

  -Connected via sata/usb HD

  -Started and press command and R

  -Utility disk-> Erase--> Mac OS Extended journaled

  -Reinstalled Mac OS X

  -Migration wizard

  I am fully able to use my computer as before but I thought I'd get up to 500 MB/s for each.

  Is there something I can do to get the maximum speed where they should be?

  Thank you

  Hi Vanderveenc:

  You have activated TRIM? You run El Capitan and supports the TRIM.

  Gasket performance aid.

  Read the following article. n-SSDS-explained-an-SSD-primer/ http://www.thessdreview.com/Daily-News/latest-Buzz/garbage-collection-and-Trim-i

  It is also very important to have 10% of your free SSD for the garbage collection.

  To activate the TRIM, first save all your open documents as this will restart your Mac.

  (1) launch the Terminal.

  (2) type 'sudo trimforce enable '.

  (3) confirm that you want to activate the trim.

  (4) restart your Mac.

  To check the TRIM is enabled, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen. Choose "about this Mac"-> 'System report'-> ' SATA/SATA Express' and look for the entry 'Support of Trim. It should say 'yes' if the pad has been activated.

• 15 J191nb: 10 Windows will identify the Samsung SSD

  Hello

  On my laptop, I did the upgrade of Windows 10 and now I want to put an SSD.
  I want to clone all my data cable USB to SATA.
  But when I'm in 'Samsung data migration' and my SSD is connected, there is the message that I should connect a Samsung SSD...
  So I thought that maybe there is a bad connection or something, but when I look in device management there are:
  ASMT 2105 USB Device.
  If I disconnect the SSD, it disappears.
  On another computer, I did the same thing but under Windows 8.1 and there it worked.

  (Samsung data migration does not support Windows 10)

  What should I do?

  The software has been the problem, Samsung Data Migration has failed.
  Now, I did the clone with Macrium reflect (which supports win10) and it worked!

• Pavilion dv6 3100: unable to start pavilion dv6 3100 again clone Samsung ssd 850 evo

  Im trying to upgrade the HDD to the SSD.  Tried a Samsung ssd - 850 EVO 500 GB after cloning, using Samsung data migration software.  However, Windows will not start since the new cloned ssd.  I get a black sreen showing, "windows does not have start message and all... and shows--

  File:------Boot\BCD.

  Status: 0x000000f.

  Info: an error occurred while trying to read the boot configuration data. »

  Samsung Wizard is not able to find data on the ssd.  I looked up and gathered a lot of information and did everything I could.  Disk Manager recognizes the device when connected via USB (for cloning).  Device Manager displays the storage as -«IDE...» SATA/AHCI controller... ».   I enabled AHCI in the regedit - the HKEY_LOCAL... Msahci, IastorV, etc.  I also updated all the possible drivers and firmware and BIOS (f29).  Yet once the ssd is connected and placed in the drive Bay, Windows just would not start.

  I'm an amateur, pretendng to be an "expert"!

  Someone please help!

  Ive been away for a few days.  Sorry for this late reply.

  I have treid sfc/scannow - did not work.  Not sure it'll work, I was not ready to move to another

  $50 on Acronis software cloning.  So, in the end, I opted for a clean install of windows7 operating system, using my own system recovery disks that I created previously.

  Every thing looks and works perfectly.  Samsung magician is able to detect the ssd by his real name (and not as ASMT 2115) and also shows that the AHCI is enabled. The time spent was worthwhile.

  Thank you.

• SAMSUNG SSD of 840 EVO and the compatibility of the Inspiron 17 5748

  Does anyone know how to get a Samsung SSD to work in an Inspiron 5748? A BIOS update would be useful?

  There is absolutely no problem regarding the SSD compatibility, some very old systems here are held in SSD Samsung and Dell used their Samsung SSD OEM partner.

  I strongly suggest a clean format and install (remove all clear them partitions beforehand or course the reader) it could be a matter of hunting wild goose if you perform a new installation, and it will be difficult to diagnose.

  Wizard software should have told you regarding the State of health of the reader? If it is GOOD then its most likely your electronics semi-fresh install it here is the root cause.

• ZBook 15u G2: is it possible to upgrade the G2 Zbook 15u from the 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 evo 500 GB SATA HARD disk?

  Turns out that the hard drive that I got this laptop when I bought it is not really meet my needs, and I'm looking to upgrade. I looked around, and the EVO of 850 SSD Samsung 500 GB seems a good choice for what I'm looking for.

  I just wanted to check if my cell phone is compatible with this ssd. My initial assumption is 'yes' but before I drop money I wanted to confirm this. For reference, I went to the start with the 500 GB SATA hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade the 500 GB Samsung ssd 850 evo.

  I can provide the SN of my laptop for reference, if needed.

  Hello

  The simple answer is Yes you can. You can use a standard SSD 2.5 "to replace the current HARD drive. And the Samsung is a good choice.

  Kind regards.
