• Satellite L50 - A - version of BIOS and SSD

  Hello world!

  I have a question to put to you.

  I would buy an SSD (250 GB) and replace the original HARD drive that gives me a lot of problems in terms of percentage usage and if it slows down the laptop.

  In the Internet I found a lot of questions on my laptop (Satellite L50 series - L50-A-1CU) and SSD, particularly for the version of BIOS that could not properly recognize the SSD.

  Does anyone has installed an SSD on this laptop? What version of BIOS is necessary for correct installation? I have the BIOS version 1.90.

  Thank you very much

  Enrico

  Can you please tell us what SSD you want to buy? I mean the manufacturer and the model.

• Satellite U940 - 11 d - 32 GB mSATA SSD use

  Hello world

  I bought the week last Toshiba U940 - 11 d and I would replace the drive HARD 750 GB with 120 GB SSD. I have a question. I would like to install Windows 8 in SSD 120 GB drive and use another DDD which is mSATA for swap or my documents. Is this possible?

  What can I do for my application? Can I use 32 GB mSATA as normal SSD SSD or I can use only to the cache?

  Best regards.

  > I have a question. I would like to install Windows 8 in SSD 120 GB drive and use another DDD which is mSATA for swap or my documents. Is this possible?

  It would be possible if the system of Windows 8 would recognize the mSATA 32 GB as an additional drive. I m not 100% sure of this, but I guess only in case this is not possible, you could use this drive for caching mSATA SSD.

• Cloning of a Satellite L50 - A - 19 p for one SSD

  Hello

  I am new to Windows 8 and the following problem:

  I have a C50-A-19. In want to replace the hard drive with an SSD. I tried some tools, I found the installation key and treid to install a new Windows 8 for the SSD (with a window s8 DVD, but there is no as the key).

  Then I created the recovery media (3 DVDs), replaced the HARD drive and now I can not start on the first DVD. Windows 8 is completely stop, I tried to change the boot order, holding "0" while the start-up and the start menu - it just says, that there is no media inserted.

  How can I get Windows 8 on the SSD? Why my DVD of Windows 8 does not accept the license key?

  Thanks for any help.
  Kind regards
  Heiko

  > Why my DVD of Windows 8 does not accept the license key?
  Microsoft changes the own activation procedure and you will get the key of Windows 8 Microsoft if you buy Windows 8 System. The 8 Windows preinstalled on Toshiba OS would be activated automatically all in the first place the system configuration and the internet connection. Then insert the serial key is not necessary.

  Regarding the startup problem:
  The readers of CD/DVD laser lens is maybe dirty. Try to clean the laser lens with cotton wool trick and liquid alcohol. In the case where it wouldn't help you, you can copy (burn) the recovery disk created using another computer. I had good experience using DVD R TDK discs.

• SSD upgrade on Satellite L50 - B - 2 8

  Hello

  I would buy the Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 and replace the hard drive with an SSD.
  At the moment I think that the samsung 850 evo is a good choice.

  Unfortunately, I read on some recognition problems hard drive with other models of satellite.

  It would therefore be gread to know, if anyone here has upgraded the Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 with an SSD and could give me some information on the problems and recommended model ssd?

  In addition, I would like to know if the warranty is lost if I replace the hard drive with an SSD?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I don't have this model of laptop and does not offer a specific answer, but I think that the upgrade should not be problematic. I have the same SSD and use it on my laptop older satellite. It works perfectly.

  SDS update is not a big deal, but there is another problem. This model of laptop is not separated from the HARD drive cover and if you want to have full access at the lower cover disk around must be removed. This should be done by an authorized only provider, and you must not remove on your own.

  As I understood your message; you want to put the current HARD drive in the Bay ODD (optical disc), then a new SSD drive in the HARD drive Bay.
  Is this right?

  Well, first of all 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.

  Now back to the question on the use of the HARD drive instead of driving ODD.
  I put t know if it 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 but I'm not very well on laptops Satellite m.

  So in the worst case the HARD disk will not be recognized in the ODD Bay

• Satellite A210-248 does not recognize the 840 ECO mSATA SSD

  I want to build in my Satellite A210-248 on the port of msata ssd.

  When I build in the ssd bios dind't find the ssd, so I can't install windows in the ssd

  Hello

  Satellite A210 does not support port mSATA and therefore the mSATA SSD module cannot be used.
  Probably, you have found a mini-PCI on the motherboard slot. It certainly looks like mSATA but its not the same thing.

• Satellite U400 - 12 p and mSATA SSD

  I have the Satellite U400 - 12 p.
  The motherboard has two free slots miniPCI if they install mSATA SSD OCZ AC Nocti - MSATA - 120G, for example in these slots?

  I agree with Akuma. Satellite U400 is old enough laptop model and its standard SATA port, you cannot use reader with connector mSATA (mini-SATA).
  the mSATA discs are smaller and designed for use on the netboos and ultraportable notebooks.

• Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

  Hello

  I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
  When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

  Please help me.
  My bios version is: 2.00
  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
  Thank you

  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

  And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
  From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

  But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

  Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

  By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

• Satellite L50 and SSD - performance problem

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1EH and the first thing I did was to replace the hard drive with an SSD.
  Initially the SSD is not recognized by the BIOS, like many other users across the Internet reported as well.

  To prove this statement here are other people having the same problem, and people have tried different SSD.

  Link: [1st edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/E45t-cant-detect-Samsung-840-pro-SSD/td-p/503785]
  Link: [2nd edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/Switching-HDD-to-SSD-on-Satellite-S55-A5176-Problem/td-p/590778]

  The problem can be solved by changing a setting in the BIOS.

  [The SATA interface parameter] [enforcement] to [battery life].

  However, this workaround solution comes with a cost, which is performance.
  The SSD is able to transfer files at a speed of 500 MB/s.

  However, in this mode the SSD transfers files at 133 MB/s.
  I lose 4 x the speed of the SSD.

  In my view this problem in the BIOS.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  With sincere friendships.
  Arthur BOULELLI.

  I also discovered today that is not serious if I am running in mode UEFI BIOS (CSM).

  Combined with AHCI BIOS mode it takes [parameter] Interface SATA for battery life, otherwise the SSD is not recognized.

  The Toshiba using the latest firmware (to July 23, 2014), which is v1.70.
  The SSD is a Samsung 840 Evo and has the latest firmware, which is EXT0BB6Q.

  Given that the SATA interface is set to battery life, the SATA interface is set to SATA1, who of course tops out at 133 MB/s.

  For me, it is simply amazing that a laptop with a Core i7-4700MQ the year 2014 cannot detect an SSD SATA3.

  Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.

  Problem, it's that Toshiba does not support Linux so you will not be able to find lots of information about Linux on Toshiba laptops.

  Try to check some Linux forum. You may be able to get a useful tip to other Linux users.
