T430 - Ultrabay caddy with factory-hdd, SATA 2 or 3?

Hello

I bought an SSD for internal Bay and want to use the drive from the factory with the ultrabay caddy. There are several products that offers SATA II or SATA III. Is the capable standard drive using extra speed up to 6 Gbps?

I thought about this one:

http://www.Amazon.de/module-adapter-Caddy-Lenovo-T420i/DP/B00718M8PO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=13620859...

My T430 is not mentioned in the description, but I read that 12.7 mm must adapt without any gap.

I have a 'generic' Ultrabay adapter in my T430s that I bought on Amazon or eBay (can't remember which.) It is 12.7 mm high and fits perfectly without space. The adapter works at speeds of SATA-III. I disassembled the Ultrabay adapter by curiosity. That's all right transmission wiring of the SATA interface, i.e. There is no active circuit to affect SATA speeds.

BTW, you can also get a plastic case inexpensive with USB interface for the DVD player that will allow you to use it when the HARD drive is in the Ultrabay slot. Search for Amazon/eBay sellers.

  • T420-best SSD for use in housing Ultrabay caddy?

    What is the best SSD for use in the Ultrabay caddy in a Thinkpad T420?

    Welcome to the forum!

    Any standard 2.5 "7mm or 9.5 mm SSD should work. I'd stick with brands such as Crucial, Samsung or Intel and are looking for the cost lowest to higher capacity. Considering that the T420 is now several years old, that I doubt that go with the SSD that has specifications "faster" will make a difference in practice.

    BTW the Ultrabay works at speeds of SATA-III (6 Gb/s), so it shouldn't be a bottleneck compared to the internal drive Bay.

  • [Y550] New HDD SATA III. Is it compatible?

    Hello.

    I want to know if I can change my original WD hdd (I'm preety sure it's SATA I), again SATA III? I don't know if the motherboard will be compatible with SATA III. What do you think?

    And by the way, what model of motherboard is in it? Unfortunately, my serial number fail to pass on the support site, so I can't check the configuration it (and my HARD drive is broken, so I can't use the software to check it out).

    And the third question: will there be any signs of change if I Exchange my hdd SATA III. I don't know if it is important in Y550.

    Thanks for all your responses in advance.

    See you soon,.

    Peter.

    Hello
    Welcome to the forums
    In the y550 sata port is sata 2. If the disk sata hard 3 would also go to sata 2 speed. This is common for all models y550
    If you know the configuration of your computer, you can view the psref removed systems and it corresponds with the model No.
    http://www.Lenovo.com/PSREF/psrefs_withdrawn.html
    The sata 2 would be faster than the sata 1 and that means faster data transfers.

    Can someone help me.pse.

    Guy van der velden

    OK, I saw the pictures, SATA HDD0 takes precedence, so any SSD is here, it will give the list only HDD0.

    It's strange but...

    the SSD 2 have the same content?

    It is not a sure way to start under UEFI, since that will be managed by the windows Boot Manager.

    Incidentally I would update of the BIOS to version 2.28:

  • I have a problem with my HDD to fill without no reason.

    I have a problem with my HDD to fill without no reason.  I should have about 340 GB free and it reads now only 18 GB free.  Can I have found the culprit (Revo Uninstaller Pro) because he stop to fill in after I removed it.  I can't find where all the "whatever" went.  I don't see anything funny in the registry and cannot find the strange files on the C drive under computer.  I wouldn't mess with the registry too but I as I am limited in my understanding of what's there.  I scanned the hard drive with my Avast Anti Virus and the Microsoft Emergency scan engine and found nothing.  If someone could give me an idea of what happened and how to get my rear disc space, I would be grateful.

    Avoid Revo Uninstaller Pro software type (including the registry cleaners "" and system optimizer).
    Programs and features does the job quite well.
    -There is no advantage to playing in the registry.

    -First run Disk Cleanup defragment the HARD disk in order to have a 'clean' basis of work form.

    -Treesize will show exactly what is there and how much of it.

    -Check how much space is used by System Restore.
    Restoration of the system- How do I

    -Indexing research is supposed to implement a very large file as well. You can limit where it indexes
    or turn it off completely in - Control Panel > Indexing Options
    -Check there is no software constantly writing/rewriting something. These activities have
    view in Task Manager-process.

    -Have another look through programs and features and see if there is has than nothing installed, you
    do not use or need and to uninstall, but software doesn't generally use a lot of space.

    raks12345,

    By design, all the newest SATA standards are retro-compatible with older SATA standards and will return at low speed as they go to work. So no matter whether a controller SATA 1 with a SATA 3 drive or a SATA 3 controller with a SATA 1 drive, or any combination with SATA 2 so, they should all work together very well.

    The only exception in my experience, it's that some old SATA drives require a 3.3 volt, while most of the readers work fine without it. It is a power supply problem not a problem of SATA version.

    For me, to help troubleshoot, please click on my DELL-Jesse L and send me a private Message with the number of Service Dell and your Dell order number.

  • Tecra A10 HDD SATA drivers (Windows XP)

    I need to download drivers Windows XP SATA HDD for Toshiba Tecra A10.

    I searched all websites of Toshiba in the world and the closest I can find is "Intel Storage Manager" stating "Intel Matrix Storage Management utility to manage your local storage space, including support RAID, including drivers, you will need to provide the installation manual to make the HARD disk available to the operating system OS installer" in the description

    However, the Intel Storage Manager cannot be installed on a laptop with XP is already installed. There is no drivers for the SATA HARD drive included in the compressed package I downloaded (stormng - 20080903143138.zip).

    The SATA HDD drivers are available for this model? These are needed when you press F6 during installation of Windows XP, so it can detect the hard drive.

    Thank you.

    I think you should download the + 32 - bit floppy Configuration Utility for Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    You will find the unique SATA driver .inf and dll files.

    These files should help you!

  • T430 i5 series with DVD-ROM: looking for replacement information DVD...

    Greetings. Considering buying a refurb T430. It comes with a DVD-ROM. It seems to me, from what little I can do without the model number of machine or DVD part (s), that the device is a standard slimline SATA drive. I had the chance before with swapping the Panel/Panel before these readers when I had to make a replacement.

    Riddle me this Batman:

    (1) can I use a generic DVD - RW drive?

    (2) someone can me the Lenovo replacement PN so that I have one can hunt down on ePay?

    Don't want an expando Bay, and I don't want to use an external. Thank you!!

    Received a DVD burner yesterday, bought from Epay. Perfect shape, size and function. Aesthetically perfect. Only $15 USD. There are many many numbers of parts that are compatible and the permutation of the bezel is easy peasy.

  • Problems with Toshiba HDD Recovery

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite notebook, everything was going well until I started to delete or disable the programs that have been added automatically with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on the HARD drive,
    because for me, most of them is really unnecessary and everytime when I checked the Task Manager it had before any process of more than 80.
    If everything seemed great until I rebooted the computer, after that there wasn't one more chance to log in windows, I tried several times, but without effect, even I tried via safe mode.
    It seemed like they were reduced.
    So I decided I will upload I want to install the new Windows 7 different version on the HARD drive, without thinking that he might restart former.
    and the problem started here because the hardware does not recognize the new version of Windows, I have all the drivers, I tried to download and add them, but did not work.
    Even Device Manager does not properly because it does not show same me I have the graphics card ATI, network card...

    I know I reacted stupidly, but is there a possibility that I can reboot, reinstall the old primary windows again, because I didn't erase them or I na not format the HDD but I installed the new version on
    One older so that they are still in place on the HARD drive, but under another brand windows.old.
    I also have on the other HARD drive recovery partition, or it's just better to him distribute service where they can solve the problem.
    If you have any tips or advice please tell me!

    Thanks for your response

    AL

    Oh AL what are you doing man. I mean why do you all this?
    The first step, you must do it with the new device is to check the s manuals and pick up some info about your new product.

    In this manual is clearly described that original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and very important, is to create recovery DVD that you can use in the case if the HDD recovery procedure will not longer work.

    So what you have now?
    -screwed to the top of operating system
    -Nothing in the hand who can help you with recovery of OS install

    Only thing you can try now is to start HARD drive recovery in the hope that everything will work OK.
    Here the instructions how to do this > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    If this does not work, you have a big problem.
    Anyway send comments and let's see what you can do as the next step.
