• S50 satellite - B - 15 p - it is possible to add addional SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop Satellite S50 - B - 15 p.
  I'm very happy with it

  My question is about its SSD drive
  It is now 128 GB.

  It is possible to add addional SSD or HDD.

  Or replace the current by the new with a higher capacity.

  My best regards

  I don't have this model of laptop, but according to some pictures I found isn't Googling around this model of laptop SSD? HARD drive covers in the lower corner, therefore, as a general rule, these updates is not supported and should not be done by the owner of the laptop.
  If you want to have full access to the SSD, you must remove the lower cover and it can be done by authorized personnel only. If you try to do it yourself you will void the warranty.

  In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or, at least, good advice what to do about it.

• Portege R830 - model with SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I am considering buying a Portege R830. I've yet to decide between the Portégé R830-10R (model with HARD drive) and the Portégé R830 - 10 p (model with a 256 GB SSD). To do this, I would like to know:

  -What is the SSD model assembled in the Portégé R830?
  -It uses a standard SATA connection or an owner like the previous Portégé R700 SSD?
  -Have someone replaced the original HDD to the Portégé R830 by a whole new SATA 3 SSD? Wich one? It works fine?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi MadVet,

  The SSD of Portege R830 - 10 p is a model of Toshiba 2.5 so it does not work in Portege R830. In addition due to the 2.5 form factor it uses SATA standard interface as normal hard drives.

  In my opinion, you should take the model with SSD. 256 GB is enough for the operating system and applications as well as for some important data. If you need more disk external HARD disk space use. SSDS are very fast and you will see the performance of the SSD HARD drive instead ;)

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• How does the predator AG3 used together the 128 GB ssd and hard drive 2 TB

  I am considering buying a predator AG3 at Costco.  It comes with a 2 TB HDD and ssd 128 b.  How the system is used both in combination?  The ssd is only for boot?  Windows will be on the SSD.  The system will know to go on the HARD disk for programs not on the SSD drive?  I have no experience using a system with two disks of a different type.

  SSD is usually used as installation of the OS and some heavy load programs (editing - audio - video)

  HARD drive is used as data storage or install programs of large size (for most games).

  System does not know where you want to install it that way, he asks during installation

  example of

  C:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

  You can tell the installer to use instead of C: on SSD HARD drive, so you will change from C to D (if your HARD drive is D: letter of the system)

  D:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

• X 200 + Intel SSD 330 - HARD drive password / ATA defined but no prompt

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo X 200, that I just bought (in used condition), ridden by me with a 330 Intel SSD. I tried to set a password for the HARD drive with a supervisor password and a power on password and supervisor password and turn on the passwords seem to work as expected. All the passwords are identical at the moment. To test if the HARD drive password was really in fact, I removed the power on password. Now there is no prompt to normal startup. I tried to put the HARD drive password once again, but there is still no prompt.

  If it is relevant, I put the HARD drive password after formatting the drive and installing Windows, but as far as I can understand it, there is no reason this matter as long as the computer's BIOS and firmware of the Player shouldn't care/know what data is on the drive. In addition, no significant/important data on the drive at the moment, so don't worry giving advice that could make existing data on the disk unreadable.

  Best regards

  Eric

  OK, I think I just solved this problem by chance: after the electric bike computer (stop and remove the power cord and the battery for 10 seconds) the VT - x to work, the HARD drive password prompt now works as well. I hope this can help someone else with the same issue in the future.

• The paging file must be on SSD or HARD drive?

  * Original title: hard drive swap file

  The paging file must be on SSD? or HARD drive?

  Thank you

  I think that it is better to use the one we have the highest speed of read/write. In most cases, it would be the ssd. There plenty of room as you have good RAM. In my case it is 24 G, so it maybe is a consideration as well, if you are limited on space. Probably, it would not hurt to change it to one that you you do not for the moment and then see if it starts faster on the hibernation or stops faster. In fact, I have the file page disabled on my laptop to save space with a lot of other consequences that can't Hibernate.

• (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

  I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

  It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

  My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

  However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

  But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

  And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

  As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

  Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

  I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

  Someone at - it the same problem with me?

  Any suggestion is appreciated!

• Windows 8 Defrag lists raided SSD as HARD drive

  I have a 3rd gen core i7 with a card mother z77 (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) running Windows 8.

  I have 4 SSD RAID 0 would be in 2 groups and all 4 disks are plugged into the Intel SATA plugs.  I also have a 1 than to plugged catch NO Intel SATA HARD drive.

  A group is my boot (C) drive that is 2 x ADATA SX900 256 GB, and others, I have for storage (D) which is 2 x SanDisk Extreme 240 GB.

  I installed the latest Intel RST drivers.

  Under the Windows Defragmenter, my C drive is listed as SSD but my D drive is listed as a HARD drive.

  I want my D drive will be listed as SSD so that the FILLING can be passed to it.  My C drive when I click on optimize correctly trimmed output %, while the D drive outputs % consolidated.

  I have all 4 disks and two exactly the same RAID configurations in the BIOS and drivers of the RST with the exception of a difference.  Drive C is using 64 k band and D drive is using 128 KB Strip.  I can't imagine it is what makes Windows think that the D drive is a HARD drive because of the size of distribution?

  Is there something I can do in the registry to recognize my D as an SSD drive?

  I would rather not reformat my D drive to 64 KB stripe just to see if that solves it if there is something I can do with the registry, config, or otherwise in the software.

  
  

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

• SSD - change Hard Drive to SSD

  Hi - I have a MacBook Pro 15 "2011 end and need to know if this model can accept a SSD and the specification of what I should look for if so? Thank you all.

  you don't know.

  Use a SATA SSD in a form factor of 2.5 inches, the same as the drive that you delete. Put the new drive in an external enclosure, or use an adapter. Install Mac OS on it first, THEN do the surgery to separate questions of surgery installation problems. Don't pay extra for SATA III 6 GB, because your Mac uses SATA II 3 GB which is well fast enough for most cases. Use your current drive size (and whether that will continue to meet your needs) as a guide, then buy a bigger than that of the road. You won't run out of space and having to redo all this.

  This also allows you to use your old drive recovery partition to download and install on the new drive. You could also do a 8GB USB stick using DiskMaker X standalone installer. Such an installation program includes the necessary set of utilities as well.

• HP Envy 1540T H8: SSD upgrade hard drive

  I have a 256 GB SSD installed in my office that has run out of space (12 GB remainining).  The reader is my C: drive and contains my OS and program files.    I want to buy a SSD drive more and have the following questions:

  -All the SSD is compatible with my computer?

  -Once I have buy a new drive, can I use the backup of C: drive I have created with EaseUS Todo backup to the format of the player and keep all my OS and program files?

  I appreciate any advice you can offer and say thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Most of the newer SATA III SSDs should be compatible with your PC.  No matter what you tell a 2.5 SSD "?

  I don't know what you did with EaseUS Todo backup, so I can't say if it will work.  In addition, I do not know if EasyUS Todo can manage Secure Boot and migration of UEFI mode.

  Many SSD manufacturers have migration free software available for their products.  I use this type of the adapter SATA USB 3 , when I backup images of my starting of external storage devices (not tube) systems.

  You should be able to image your SSD existing to the new SSD and the migration software should be able to make adjustments to size during the migration process. Once it is complete then the swap on the SSD for the new SSDS of greater.  You can reformat the old biggest SSD using the adapter above and reuse the SSD for something else.

• SSD Sata HARD drive appearing is not in the system of the device

  I added a SSD HDD to my system via a sata connection and I see the drive listed in the BIOS, but it does not appear in the "My computer" window I can't format it to use it.

• External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

  -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

  -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

  -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

  -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

  Problem

  -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

  -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

  -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• 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 :(
