• Upgrade SSD in Satellite L50 - has

  IM intend to put an SSD in my L50 - A - 1 7 but I don't know if my laptop supports SATAIII.

  IM also not to use my ODD will be a work of caddy hard drive to put my hard drive in there to store data?

  Unfortunately I can't offer you a precise answer to your question on SATA but any standard SATA laptop is such upgrade increase you mobile computer s performance quickly.

  Fact is that SSDS offer substantial benefits over traditional hard drives. It is interesting to note that SATA II SSD will still be faster than virtually any rotation HDD

  To find out what standard SATA laptop I recommend to install one of the two hardware diagnostic tools that are:
  -Everest Home Edition
  -Sisoft Sandra.

  Problem is that your laptop does not have coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner so these updates must be performed by the authorized service provider.

  As far as I know that Toshiba does not HDD caddy so you can try to use some third party caddy but if it will not work correctly is another issue.

• Satellite L50-A-1CU: new SSD not recognized if SATA is set to the performace

  I changed the hard drive from my toshiba a-1-cu C50, with a 128 GB SSD 830.

  This drive only set on the 'autonomy' work is not a 'performance '.
  (In the performance of the modality, the Bios do not see, or seen once on ten of system startup.)

  This settings in Bios called sometimes "interfaces sata".

  The performances are a quarter more slow (125 MB/s vs. 500 mb/s).

  The hard drive has the latest firmware available.

  There is a solution to finally put on the "performance"?

  Hello

  Indeed, it is very strange question

  However, it would be interesting to know if this BIOS <–>recognition SSD problem appears with the other SSD drives. Have you tested other SSD?

  Otherwise, I think that if this problem would appear with different disc SSD, the BIOS may not be not entirely compatible with various SSD.

• Satellite L50-A-1CU - can I use non-Toshiba drivers for Intel & Nvidia?

  I have some problems in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop using the Toshiba drivers; can I use those of Intel and Nvidia, or there is something exclusive to Toshiba?

  Thank you very much
  Marco

  Hello

  In general, yes you can use them. Problem is that these drivers are not supported and tested by Toshiba for you to use their own risk.
  To be honest in the past years I've heard different stories about this. Some people are happy with the best graphics performance.

  Some people are complaining on very strong and permanent machine running to cold air. Even after that initial installation of image recovery the situation is the same. I ve heard say that the values in the GPU BIOS will be changed and it is not possible to recover their origin and default settings.

  There are also reports on the switch OFF as a result overheating.

  I put t know what to say on this subject. I use my machine with the original drivers. I don t want to risk anything. Of course, with your machine, you can do what you want, then that's your decision.

  If you install them please be so kind and send us comments. It can be very useful for other owners of laptops.

• 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 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?

  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 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.

• 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.

• 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 L50-B-27N - upgrade to the reader of the SDS

  Hello
  I got SATELLITE L50-B-27N and I want to add drive hard ssd, is possible to add to the 1 TB 5400 RPM that comes with the laptop or I have to replace the ssd instead of the 1 TB drive?

  I plan to do the same thing with my L50t-A-145 and would just buy a caddy of the Bay for optical drive on eBay. Your laptop has optical drive (DVD or Bklu-ray)? If so, it should be easy to remove - one of the screws on the bottom of your laptop will be used to set the optical drive in place. If you can work what screws it is and remove it, the optical drive should just slide out. You can then measure the thickness is (probably ~ 9mm) and then order an appropriate caddy. You can either put your SSD or the stock laptop 1 TB HARD drive in the caddy and bingo your laptop has 2 hard drives.

  Hope that helps,

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - memory upgrade

  Hello
  I have Toshiba Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG with 4 GB and I have questions:
  (1) I want to update. Could add 8 GB of crucial (http://www.crucial.fr/eu/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=92951A9AA5CA7304) to an existing 4?
  (2) if I replace the HDD with a SSD do you know if it will be possible to connect very quickly as with a ultrabook (spec intel)?

  Thanks for your help

  According to the specifications of the laptop it has 4 RAM slots and can be upgraded up to 32 GB of RAM.
  Rams compatible are:
  4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
  8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

  I advise you to buy high-quality Kingston modules and you will be safe from the 100% compatibility.

  With SSD I think that there is no problem at all. I upgraded my laptop older and it works perfectly.
  Which would you buy?

• Satellite L50 - Win 8.1 - passage of the CSM in UEFI?

  Hi guys.

  Yesterday, I upgraded my Toshiba Satellite L50 with an SSD.
  I installed windows 8.1 and everything seems to be ok... except a little thing...

  When I booted the usb to install windows 8.1 my bios has been installed in the CSM (because I read that if I were to UEFI, usb would be not be started) and now if I try to go to the UEFI pc cannot find the ssd drive and says something like "Reboot and select the right device.
  (I already tried with secure boot eneabled one and off the two but it's the same)

  At the moment I am active CSM with AHCI mode... What can I do to switch in uefi?

  Thanks in advance.

  Good news... Thanks for the feedback: spennacchione

• Is guaranteed replacement HDD on Satellite L50 series

  Hello world
  I'm trying to discover, weather the HARD drive in the L50 series satellite s a CRU or whether to replace the HARD drive would be voiding the warranty.

  Here, I would just use the SSD to my old notebook instead of the common snaildrive.
  Could you give me some advice on this?
  Thank you very much.
  haegarhorrib

  L50 - A as well as the Satellite L50 - B satellite contains not a single HARD drive with separate access Bay...

  This means that the entire bottom plastic cover must be removed to gain access to the HARD drive as memory modules... and this will void the warranty...

  You will find instruction how to remove the ODD on the L50 - B series
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU4603M20001R01.htm

  and as you can see, there is no access to the separate HARD drive Bay
