Storage of ThinkPad Twist

Hello!

This will be like a silly question, but I can't answer on my own, so I thought I would ask here.

My company has just purchased a Lenovo's ThinkPad Twist for me (I'm a big fan of Lenovo). I'm just trying to give a sense specifications for storage. In my local disk system details, he said I have a 456 GB HDD (which I understand to be the hard drive), but on the fact sheet on the product, it says 128 GB SSD (that I understand to be a solid state drive). I think it means that I have both, in other words, I have storage hybrid, right? And if I don't have a hybrid storage, is it correct to assume that the solid state drive is used to store my files on the system and it is inaccessible as usable for me storage space, right? I noticed that the speed at which the system starts and I know that it is an advantage of SSDS. I like that!

I learn only recently on the SSDS and I am eager to learn more. I would appreciate any information anyone! Thank you!

The most common for a twist storage options are either:

(1) HARD drive coupled with a small mSATA SSD storage (about 24 GB) hybrid. In this configuration, the SSD is used only as a caching drive. Transparent caching disk data caches to speed up startup and operating system and is generally not accessible to the user. If you have a caching drive, it is usually as a disk 1 tab of the Task Manager performance and disk 0 is normally the main drive.

(2) SSD without disk caching. More full-size SSD being faster than the getting started disc cache which is included on these models, there is no point in adding in an mSATA cached disk.

Your business could have gone with configuration, either a custom when ordering the machine configuration. You can watch the PO to determine how your company has decided to set up the machine.

  • ThinkPad Twist WWAN antenna?

    I'm sure that many people will ask that, so I think that we need a clear answer from Lenovo.

    For those who have not ordered a WWAN card in their original config is the WWAN antenna pre-installed on the screen or not?

    My model came with the SSD, so the location where it is usually an mSATA cache is empty and there is the possibility to install the WWAN card. I took the keyboard and can see the empty slot, but there are no cables to the WWAN antenna only those for the WLAN that are already connected to the wireless network card.

    So the question is: is the antenna WWAN missing or hidden on the screen?

    @ciuvak...

    I can understand the configuration of my X 220.

    MPCIe slot which would be installed the WWAN card is empty, and as you describe in your turn, there is no only antenna cables in the region. My machine has been configured and sold as no WWAN-extensible, to my knowledge, which means no antennas. Configured and sold as WWAN-stretch models have wires installed and went into the appropriate area near the slot (not hidden in the screen), so that all that is needed is a WWAN FRU approved card.

    I would say, that if you do not see the son, they have not been installed.

    I'm sorry.

    Edit: You would like to take a look at the Manual of Maintenance of equipment. Pages 63-65 installing the card and pages 86-88 the antenna if you consider installing the wires. Please do not forget that LCD assemblies on shelves are considerably more difficult than on the shelves. At least in my experience. In addition, the LCD screen Assembly is not a task for the end user. If something bad happens while it is open, warranty service may be questionable.

  • ThinkPad Twist battery drains to almost zero recharge to 50% and then again (repetitions) releases

    I upgraded to win 8.1 (RTM) last night in the Windows store. I noticed the above behavior (see subject line) when my PC turns off with battery RC alert even if it was connected to the power supply with power all the time by using the otiginal AC adapter. It does not load past 50% never.

    I uninstalled dependencies of parameters Lenovo package because it would not let me adjust battery settings at all, and I uploaded as 8.1 Lenovo Win and installed. (grsd22ww package 1.3.0.22 has published 26/09/2013). This allowed me to see certain parameters of the battery, but I do not know that the old setting for the maintenance of the battery life had disappeared. I can only adjust waiting 30 days (on) and stretching to battery (off).

    This is quite annoying because I want to take the PC off ac use mobile, but it is not cool enough for the job real network! Help, please.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Paul

    I put a big power adapter on it (a 90 W Lenovo Slimline one, rather than the 65W one) and now the machine costs at 100% and remained there for the night. Yes, problem solved. I guess that my 1.5 external USB 3.0 to attached disk backup could have been a factor? Don't really know, because it had never been a problem before.

  • Twist - Win8 Pro 4.5 Windows Exp Perf

    Recently, I received my ThinkPad Twist, I7-128ssd, and when I run the windows Experience Index I get a 4.5 due to the graphical Performance of office performance

    All other results are 6.2 or better - anyone know the reason for this?

    Thanks in advance, bob

    It's an i7, but because it's a ULV processor you are dealing with an iGPU which has standard lower than an i7 CPU clocks of office or even mobile. With lower clocks just more low scores.

    That being said, WEI is not a good way to judge performance... in fact using the PC will give you a gauge better performance of the system as WEI. If it moves fast enough for you, and it does everything you want that, do not take into account WEI.

  • Say it isn't so

    I just bought a Thinkpad twist (s230u). My first Lenovo, beautiful machine! It came with 4 GB of RAM; When I bought it, I knew that I would upgrade it to 8 as soon as POSSIBLE. I hear the Lenovo support that the RAM is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. Did someone knows something to the contrary. I see that there are the icons at the bottom of the unit which seem to indicate RAM located under the keyboard and saw system utilities reporting a single DIMM location. I'm not sure I can live with 4 GB of RAM in Windows 8.

    Thanks for your help

    Yes, ram is welded and cannot be upgraded on the twisting of ThinkPad.
