• SAMSUNG SSD Pro 840 died after two days of Thinkpad Yoga

  I replaced my new Thinkpad Yoga with Samsung 840 Pro SSD and he died two days after I see the core in something Page error, and I couldn't start later. I am connected later this SSD to USB port on my other laptop and he was dead. Lenovo Diagnostics failed for SSD drive as well.

  I would like to know if anyone of you tried Pro 850 with Thinkpad Yoga and was happy with it?

  I have a S1 of Yoga in which I recently installed a Samsung 850 Evo (not the 840, not the Pro 850, but they are similar). So far, he's doing much - he has been here for about 2 weeks now.

  It is Windows Pro 8.1 with full disk encryption enabled.

• Many BSOD after installing Samsung SSD 840 pro in ThinkPad Lenovo R60

  Have an old Lenovo ThinkPad R60 with screen SD that I won't. After installing the Samsung SSD Pro 840 the BSOD started coming, now every week, the last one on today. I don't see the option to download the dump anywhere file, so I enclose a picture with - maybe - some info.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Not at all surprising that involved C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\SYMEVENT. Pilot of the SYS Symantec event library.  I remove it and use MSE in its place

  Symantec is a common cause of BSOD.

  
  
  I remove and replace it with Microsoft Security if you are using Windows 7 and if you win 8 or higher, use the built-in Defender.

• Inspiron 1525 won't recognize Samsung SSD 840

  I try to install Windows 7 Home 64 bit to a new 840 Samsung SSD. It has been one problem after another, but I'll try to make the point.

  Tried to install DVD that starts very well and then right before the tax EULA says I need a CD/DVD driver (!). How to be with if this is really the case? I can't find any driver for it from the Dell support site so I'm stuck there.

  Anyway. A lot of research later. Know that startup and installation of the USB will work around that. It's true! I can accept the EULA and it goes to which I select the hard drive. No hard drive is displayed.

  Laptop firmware has been updated to A17. No joy.

  I can connect the SSD drive to another computer, and it will go looking for it as internal hard drive so I don't think it's DOA.

  I tried updating the firmware on the SSD to see if that would help. Although the 'Magician' utility recognizes and allows me to choose the drive, I get the following message:

  "Magician can not communicate with certain Samsung SSD. If please check with other compatible storage drivers and try again. »

  .. so I can't do either.

  Is there anything else I need to do to get the Inspiron 1525 to see that SSD?

  Thank you all.

  for the ssd to appear, you must get something to fill the void left from the old mechanical drive as it was larger than the ssd

  the problem is that you think that it goes in the slot, but in reality that the ssd is not involved it slip just right under the sata port.

  You can get support (most new ssd now come with one) and just fix it with the ssd and insert it

• EliteBook 850 G1: Elitebook 850 G1 and Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB SSD

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Elitebook 850 G1 a retailer authorized HP here in Germany. It turns out be a very fine machine so far.

  Just a little thing I noticed is the following:

  I exchanged the original 250 GB SSD (A Samsung 840) supplied with the notebook for a Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB SSD.

  It made me lose the UEFI chart UI system diagnosis. Only the base system diagnostics are available (similar to BACK black and white screen).

  Apparently BIOS EliteBook doesn't "recognize" the PRO 850 as supported even if the player works absolutely fine in laptop computer, running a new installation of Windows Pro 64 bit smoothly 8.1.

  Is there some sort of whitelist of device in the BIOS? Is it possible to get other permutation Diagnostics advanced system back to the original SSD? Maybe some update BIOS?

  Already, I run the latest BIOS of G1 EliteBook 850 as available by HP driver and download Web site.

  Not that this is a crucial issue given that the laptop works well, but it's kind of worries me nonetheless.

  Thanks for responding.

  Diagnostics UEFI advanced is actually contained in a service partition on the hard drive so unless you cloned all partitions on the old disk you may have failed. Fortunately, it can be downloaded and installed on the hard drive or you can even make a thumb drive bootable UEFI.

• Windows 8 Pro x 64 boot Samsung SSD

  Hi all

  I tried to figure this out for the last couple days. I'm at work now, but I'll try again when I get home. Here is my question-
  I recently built my own computer. My pieces are-
  Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme 3
  Intel i5 3570 k
  SAMSUNG SSD 120 GB (I think that 840 series)
  Western Digital 1 TB hard drive
  Graphics EVGA Geforce GTX 660
  8 GB RAM (I don't remember the brand of the stick on the top of my head)
  I tried to do a clean install of Windows 8 Pro x 64 bit for the SSD. In the Setup screen, it detects two drives and I select the SSD drive and install it on the SSD. He moved very well I can say because no error message appears. But when the computer restarts and boots to the top, rises the symbol of Windows 8, the loading wheel little rises and they are there for about 2 seconds and then they disappear and the screen stays black with no mouse cursor or anything. Just a black screen and there just like that. I end up having to reboot the machine. I've done everything I can think of - I went into the BIOS and made sure the boot sequence is correct. I tried starting the SSD after restarting the machine with no result. The only difference is that when I did this and also removed the x 64 installation disc, Windows 8 comes and says that he was not able to load because it lacks a partition and so I try to troubleshoot it by performing an auto repair and diagnose the problem. When I do this, Windows says it can't auto repair. I did a reset and wiped clean car and tried again, but without any result. I get the screen that shows a partition is missing (and this happens only when I boot from the SSD with the x 64 disk drive) or I get a black screen.
  Another thing I tried last night was to reformat the SSD and wipe them off, clean, disconnect the hard drive regularly so that the only smart thing was the SSD and then reinstall windows and try again, but again, nothing has changed; just black screen.
  As far as I know, all my pieces are compatible with Windows 8 Pro. I'm at work at the moment, but as soon as I go home, I go back to work on that and I hope that you guys can give me some new approaches to this problem.
  Thank you all

  Hello

  It would be better to install Win 8 to the SSD with the other hard drive unplugged...

  Win 7 and 8 hide additional start install files on extra drives\partitions to the course. If you install with the attached HARD disk and then remove it later, windows does not start...

  Generally, this can be corrected with a startup repair, but I would rather avoid it in the first place...

  Format your SSD BEFORE installing Win 8. I prefer to use a 3rd party for this program...

  You could get by reformat everything by doing a 'Clean' installation without future issues...

  For what is the real cause of your problem, I suspect that you may need to set the SATA mode in Bios to AHCI... I got an OCZ Vertex, which would install OK and start OK after... After that win 8 detected all new material, I would get is a black screen.

  Also, make sure that the SATA connector you are using is not configured for Raid...

  In addition, try to remove the graphics card and install Win 8 with the HD4000 Intel. Once everything works, then add the NVidia.

  I built a similar machine with a surfboard Z77 Extreme 4, and it is on this forum that I had the problem of the AHCI pop up.

• SAMSUNG SSD 850 helps Pro

  Hello

  I recently bought and installed the Samsung SSD 256 GB 850 Pro in my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro.  Everything seems to work very well; However, when I run the speed test of black magic, I get only between 30-100 read and write speed of 100-250.

  The way I installed it was:

  -Deletion of original HD

  -SSD installed

  -Connected via sata/usb HD

  -Started and press command and R

  -Utility disk-> Erase--> Mac OS Extended journaled

  -Reinstalled Mac OS X

  -Migration wizard

  I am fully able to use my computer as before but I thought I'd get up to 500 MB/s for each.

  Is there something I can do to get the maximum speed where they should be?

  Thank you

  Hi Vanderveenc:

  You have activated TRIM? You run El Capitan and supports the TRIM.

  Gasket performance aid.

  Read the following article. n-SSDS-explained-an-SSD-primer/ http://www.thessdreview.com/Daily-News/latest-Buzz/garbage-collection-and-Trim-i

  It is also very important to have 10% of your free SSD for the garbage collection.

  To activate the TRIM, first save all your open documents as this will restart your Mac.

  (1) launch the Terminal.

  (2) type 'sudo trimforce enable '.

  (3) confirm that you want to activate the trim.

  (4) restart your Mac.

  To check the TRIM is enabled, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen. Choose "about this Mac"-> 'System report'-> ' SATA/SATA Express' and look for the entry 'Support of Trim. It should say 'yes' if the pad has been activated.

• Slow writes PERC H700 and Samsung 850 PRO SSD

  I saw several posts about this, but don't see a solution.

  I have a few servers R710 with H700 controllers. I have installed Samsung 1 TB SSD Pro 850 and see writing very slow compared to other performance SSD tested in one box, simply slow in general. SAMSUNG SSD are ~ 500 MB/s in both sense when connected to the stand-alone desktop computer, but ~ 500 MB/s read and ~ 45 MB/s, writes when it is connected to a server.

  1. 1 x SSD in RAID 0 - no redundancy, just to test the performance. I tried all combinations of memory cache writeback and read before possible setting (enabled, disabled) and has never had more than ~ 45 MB/s, writing.

  2. 6 x SSD in RAID 5 with all possible combinations of never getting write cache over ~ 110 MB/s, writing.

  3. 6 x SSD in RAID 10 yet one time all possible settings of the writeback cache - ~ 140 MB/s.

  Finally, I installed 120 GB Intel SSD and got more than 400 Mbps in both directions without worrying about the RAID or cached.

  What is the problem with the H700 and Samsung SSD controllers? No one knows how to fix?

  Any other R710 compatible controller, which do not have this problem? Might be able, JBOD? I also tried a stop the controller PCIe Board without a bit of luck (bottom of basket or any compatibility issues)

  Thanks in advance.

  P. S.

  The controller is a latest firmware and the BIOS and other components. Used Dell Repository Manager iDRAC discovery and the ISO bootable to update everything.

  SAMSUNG SSD are on a latest firmware as well.

  Hello.

  The Samsung 850 Pro SSD are not validated or certified to work with controllers from Dell, and as such, there is an incompatibility of communication between readers and the controller at the firmware level. Thus, you are required to achieve the unexpected poor read and write performance regardless of the controller cache settings. Consider using Dell certified readers.

  Thank you.

• M.2 SSD in X 51 R3 - Samsung 950 Pro? -Need help

  RE: X 51 R3 - Samsung 950 Pro

  Alienware 51 R3 x I and when I was installing my SSD, I saw the port of m2. I ordered a Samsung 950 Pro, installed, but nothing.

  The computer does not start. I get the white screen with the blinking cursor.

  Repair CD / USB do not work.

  When I remove the m2, the computer boots fine with my SSD hooked using Sata ports.

  I heard that there is an SSD of M.2 PM951 m2 stock.

  Does this mean that the Samsung 950 Pro does not work?

  Nope - SATA III is still slower than 2xPCIe 3.0 lanes.

  The Samsung 850 m2 will probably reach around 520-550 MB/s Seq reading due to the limitations of the record Protocol and SATA port. You can see that I'm reading Seq 1500 + Mbps even with only two active channels. The 950 NVMe Pro is able to 2500 MB/s speed with 4-way active reading.

  The only place where having 4 lanes from 2 lanes for NVMe Pro 950 issues is in sequential read speed. The write speeds and Random access doesn't seem to be limited given that the max drive speed doesn't seem to go beyond the bandwidth of 2-way.

• T7500 and Samsung SSD evo 840: AHCI is not enabled!

  Hello

  I have just pluged a Samsung SSD 840 evo on a T7500 (the sata plug 0 of the motherboard) and did a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit.
  Everything seems fine, that I can write this post on my PC upgraded, but I'm a little frustrated, as Samsung magician, SSD supplied management software, tells me that the AHCI is not enabled, and "it is impossible to detect the SATA interface. Therefore, I will not have the installation of the SSD... I checked the windows regestry and key "msahci' as the value 0 for 'start', which seems OK.

  I missed something? Any help would be much apreciated!

  I'm not sure what it does cause here I can't find the drivers for this SSD drive
  I read something about changing the settings of my RAID BIOS to AHCI - but not quite sure what that means...
  Hopeing someone can talk me through this

  Hello

  Just a short note to tell you I had this work - I was just using the samsungs migration software - something that I had already tried before but without success - difference this time is that instead of connect the SSD drive via the usb port 3 as they suggest (for the initial migration), I connected directly to the pc.
  So its all working now!
  Bravo and thank you again for your help

  Hi csarquiteto,

  You will need to format the disk partitions in order to install the operating system. Just follow the detailed instructions in this video , and when you get to the screen that says where you want to install Windows?, select the old partitions and delete them (This erases all data from the partition also), then create a new to complete the installation.

  Let me know how it goes!

• SAMSUNG SSD of 840 EVO and the compatibility of the Inspiron 17 5748

  Does anyone know how to get a Samsung SSD to work in an Inspiron 5748? A BIOS update would be useful?

  There is absolutely no problem regarding the SSD compatibility, some very old systems here are held in SSD Samsung and Dell used their Samsung SSD OEM partner.

  I strongly suggest a clean format and install (remove all clear them partitions beforehand or course the reader) it could be a matter of hunting wild goose if you perform a new installation, and it will be difficult to diagnose.

  Wizard software should have told you regarding the State of health of the reader? If it is GOOD then its most likely your electronics semi-fresh install it here is the root cause.
