• Satellite L50-B-1WF - IDE oucederomsurlesecondport mSATA SSD?

  Dear Toshiba

  I wonder, is the Satellite L50-B-1WF has its IDE oucederomsurlesecondport mSata SSD? Some product sites request this. Or y at - it no mSata on this series either?

  Second question: can I install a slim line internal drive BlueRay on it, instead of a DVD player?

  The L50-B-1WF Satellite was equipped with the 256GB MSATA SSD that is connected to the controller SATA using a Committee of Exchange.

  Second question: can I install a slim line internal drive BlueRay on it, instead of a DVD player?

  I don't think as much I know this unit (or model) does not support slim select Bay feature.
  But this is only my personal opinion because I never tested this extension on common laptop... but I used this slim select Bay adapter on my old laptop Portege... but this device support this feature... While it was possible to replace the STRANGE with a second HDD

• Satellite C660D-178 file system fail to SSD using Linux

  Hello

  I have a reproduction of corruption of file system behavior when you use C660D with disk SSD Kingston SV100S2.

  The level of corruption varies from corruption of the file system individual nodes to complete data loss (no data can be read by testdisk).
  Problem always happen after the restart, not very often, about once in about 2 weeks.
  File system failures produce both after reboot normal and have to reboot (power button).
  Issue took place in 15 Fedora and Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 amd64 x86_64.

  I wonder if it could be a hardware or software problem.
  Same SSD worked without any problem in another laptop.

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I wonder if it could be a hardware or software problem.

  As much as I know the laptop was not equipped with a SSD drive but common SATA HDD.
  Have you noticed that using an old HDD SATA?
  What about the use of Win 7 on this SSD drive? Is it OK?

  To my knowledge, some manufacturers of SSDS offer an update of firmware for own products, maybe you should look for this update.

• Ubuntu on Toshiba Satellite U940 - startup of: SSD

  Hi guys,.

  I think buy Toshiba Satellite U940. The reason is that he a dimmable-up ultrabook so I'll buy 16 GB of ram and a 120 GB of msata SSD. I'm going to install ubuntu. But because I'm not sure that two important things, I would ask you first.

  1. can you the msata SSD was seen directly from the bios? I want to install ubuntu on it and also to have my case start and all programs there. I ask this question because I read somewhere msata SSD it is only for the purpose of the cache and cannot be seen directly because it is in RAID mode. So can we get around this thing from the bios? I just only to manipulate the msata SSD as a disk driver normal in my bones. It is this possible?

  2 are all drivers for Toshiba Satellite available for ubuntu linux U940?

  Thank you guys for your time.

  Hi Harry

  Good to hear about your projects!

  I can't answer your question exactly since I don't have the necessary information to do so.
  However, I can tell you some things that can help!

  The RAID configuration is purely software-rendering. So it can be removed from f.ex Ubuntu disk-tool.
  I installed Fedora on the U840 and U940 that have the same RAID on an internal SSD flash drive and internal HARD drive.

  The RAID can easily be removed and that make storage devices appears as installation targets unique (e.g. SDA and SDB).

  However, I can't tell you if any data 3' rd party SSD will work in the U940.

  My Setup was when I used the 32 GB SSD as a target for the OS - which is actually a LOT of space for an OS Lnux.
  The internal HARD disk has been mounted as HOME.
  In this way, I had the speed of the SSD for all operations of the system (boot, updates...) while having massive storage HARD drive for personal data.

  Regarding the drivers, I think in addition to the basic features should work (WiFi, screen, sound, etc).
  In my tests, I noticed (but is no intensive testing is) no problem don't except the backlight on the keypad was not working on older kernels.

• 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 U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

  Hello

  I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
  The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

  We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

  Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
  Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
  Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

  There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

  > Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

  I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
  You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

  Control Panel-> administrative tools-> computer-> disk management management

• Satellite U940-108 - how to configure the BIOS to boot double OS to SSD / HDD

  How can I set the BIOS to start multi os ssd and HDD?

  I want to boot from an OS SSD and other bones of the HARD drive,
  When I try to do, I've got windows error?

  Can you help me

  Hello

  I guess you want to install the operating system (which one?) on the internal mSATA SSD 32GB?
  This mSATA SSD is used for caching (hybrid boot) to start Windows faster 8.

  I recommend you to install the second operating system on the HARD drive.
  To do this you must create the new partition that could be used for the installation of the OS.

  Then boot from the Windows installation disc and install the OS 2nd on the new partition.

• Satellite U940 Windows 10 update, very slow start to the top

  Hello

  It looks after upgrade to win10, the SSD is not used to quickly boot up the laptop.
  How can this problem be solved?

  In tools, defragment disc, it shows all of my partitions as SSD drive so I can't defragment.
  Why are they displayed as SSD? I think that the basic motivation is a 500 gb HHD and only a 32 GB SSD is included.

  Also in the management of the computer disk SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB of capacity and is not used (all 11.22 GB free)

  Help, please. I want to get the quick start of the win8.1 and at the same time be able to defragment my HARD drive.

  Hello

  Same problem here with a weak start after the upgrade to Windows 10 (with a Satellite U940-11 t).
  If anyone has the solution, it could be great :-)

  EDIT: I just saw this post: https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread...-to-Windows-10
  I will try this solution.

• A few questions after the downgrade of Win 7 on Satellite U940 - 11L

  Hello

  friend of mine bought the Toshiba Satellite U940 - 11L which had Windows 8 on it, due to some reasons that she wanted to have Windows 7 installed on it, which was pretty easy.

  Trouble came with the installation of the Symantec touchpad, after installing the drivers, it worked for about 10-15 minutes but then it stopped working.

  Tried to uninstall and install again but no luck, found a few discussions where it was suggested to remove all the devices, remove the battery and the power cord.

  Press the power button for 15 seconds and then power back on but still not lucky (I wasn't in the restoration of the default settings of the Bios I did not any change it outside disabling secure boot and replacing UEFI CSM that was needed to run win 7 on it).

  Tried about 4 different sources when it comes to the drivers but still does not work. I checked the Device Manager Dev but see no conflict, and it shows that the unit works fine but the problem persists. Please note that the drivers were specific to windows 7.

  Please if you have any suggestions we would greatly appriciate it.

  On another note, I'm not able to install the bluetooth it (HW ID shows as ACPI\TOS6205), I tried to install it several times but no luck because it always shows as unknown device in the dev Manager. The driver that I use is Bluetooth Filter Driver Package as info.

  Also, the computer is slower than it was with Windows 8, I suspect the reason for this is the fact that the installation of win 7 I accidentally erased part of the hybrid drive SSD (the size was 11.2 GB if I remember correctly, yes silly me...). I wasn't looking for a while on the net to see if there is a way to fix it but no luck so far.

  Thank you very much for your time and your suggestions!

  With regard to the question of the touchpad.
  To my knowledge, the touchpad should work even if the Synaptics touchpad driver has not been installed. Windows system contains own driver that control the touchpad and provide standard settings. Of course after installing the Synapatics driver, you should get a few more options and features more touchpad.

  I recommend you to download the driver for the touchpad from Synaptics driver page and install it again: http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers

  With regard to the problem of BT.
  The laptop supports WLan Intel (Intel Wireless-N 2230) card that supports BT connectivity. Bt driver filter pack is ONLY necessary if you laptop would use an Atheros WLan card or Realtek WLan card. For the Intel WLan modules such package of filter is NOT necessary. To get BT to work, you must install the battery Toshiba BT!

• Satellite U940 - Random BSOD after replacing HARD drive

  Good day ladies and gentlemen!

  I was wondering if I can win some lights here - as I google myself in a bunch of flange on the issue, I have!

  I am a famous computer technician (modest too) and more recently, a client of mine introduced me to a ultrabook Satellite U940 - lovingly with the SSD / HDD Raid 0 configuration running our beloved Windows 8.

  All things according to their entire course - Hitachi hard drive failed (as google tells me is to be expected).

  So, I replace the hard drive by a great little number Western Digital, cloned from Hitachi, sector by sector, and after a significant cajoling with bcdedit and bootrec amount, I could so he could begin our good liked Windows 8.

  However, since then, I have random BSOD, cold boots failed and all sorts of errors.

  I ran all the regular patches - SFC/scannow, chkdsk/r, Windows 8 repair facilities, etc., but it is still volatile jolly.

  Things seem not to be as they were with this Satellite little ol '-before any repair, the peripheral device manager showed two "RAID 0' in the category of hard drives, and since then it shows the individual SSD and the WD HARD drive."

  I've updated the driver for the Intel Rapid Storage at latest on the Toshiba site, but nothing helps - alas!
  The weird part is that if I do a reboot on this little beauty, she starts without any problems, but a start cold after a power off is a completely different question - dummy - spit crashing, dumping, in general!

  If there is a troubleshooting there champion who can destroy my help in this situation, I'd be very impressed and never have if they could provide assistance in this regard.

  Unfortunately Microsoft - are we are all end by using these products of ever-so-pretty Appl?

  Hello

  I read in some discussions here in this forum only after replacing the disk SSD or HARD drive, the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuilt on a device Windows 8.

  But this can be done very easily, and this can be corrected by an authorized Toshiba because this procedure requires special tools and utilities.

  Unfortunately, it seems to me that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get this problem resolved :(

• Satellite U940: 2.4Mbit / limit using Intel WLan - N 2230

  Hi support and other users,

  I have a toshiba Satellite U940 windows 8, brand new laptop with Intel® Centrino® Wireless - N 2230, wireless but I do not get speed greater than 2.4 Mb

  http://www.Speedtest.net/result/2844225725.PNG

  This result is the same when downloading from newsgroups.
  On Ethernet is that the speed is 10 MB

  I tried the same thing on this forum http://communities.intel.com/thread/32017
  I did have the problem with an older laptop... It is not the router, I get the best speeds with older laptop.

  I tried diverend drivers, installed driver update with Windows update, but nothing does.

  You hhave a solution, I guess the wireless centrino is not good...

  I bought this laptop for high speed with ssd, also need a connection with wifi broadband...

  Help please...

  Masterdam

  Hello

  The Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2230 supports WiFi standards 802.11 b/g/n and it runs at 2.4 GHz only
  Do you have what standard chosen in your router settings?

  Please also see the Wlan standard that is defined for the wireless network adapter. You can do this in
  Control Panel-> Device Manager-> Wlan card properties-> Advanced tab

  To get the full 802.11 N speed, your router and wireless network card should be on the 802.11 N only.

• Satellite U940 - 12 c: how to make recovery USB pendrive having only 2 DVD

  Hello.

  I have a netbook Satellite U940 - 12 c, a software problem causing a HARD drive format and the SSD. Finally, I got the free Toshiba Recovery DVD (as it was not my fault, but a software one), two recovery DVDs.

  And that's all I've got: an own Satellite, without partition recovery or any data in HDD or SSD. and the recovery of two DVD. Since my laptop doesn't have a DVD player, and I don't have an external, my question is simple: How can I make a boot USB key recovery by using data stored in the recovery DVD?

  If anyone can help... Thank you!

  > How can I make a boot USB key recovery by using data stored in the recovery DVD?
  In my opinion this isn't possible.
  You cannot simply move the data from DVD 2 disks to USB. I think that this will not work.

  In your case, you will need to use an external USB CD/DVD drive in order to retrieve the laptop using both disks.

• Satellite P L50-B-1 1 - mSATA?

  Hi all

  I have the following toshiba laptop and want to upgrade with an extra mSATA SSD for the OS [/ color][COLOR = #333333]

  http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/satellite-l50-b-1P1

  I'm pretty sure that this model does not support the mSATA interefaces, but I would check with you guys as well 100%.

  See you soon!

  The port is for wireless cards, SSDS will not work.
  Only solution is to replace the HDD with a SSD 2.5 ".
