T500 Turbo Memory hard drive Cache.

I had my T500 built with the Intel 2 GB Turbo Memory Cache on the hard drive. I think I read somewhere (help me decide of information on the web site of the order) that it would make the faster boot process. The only way I found to confirm that it is already installed is shown in disk management as disk 0, online, Simple layout, Type is Basic, no Volume Information and the Staus is Healty (Primary Partition). While I am waiting on my W7 upgrade appears I thought try and discover how to use this option. Any suggestions on where I can find documents of reference on how to use this feature or understand how it is being used with Vista Ultimate? TIA for any help.

I answered my own questions after doing further research. For those who don't want to not pass the time here is what I discovered. This option is basically a 'Dear' flash player which is used to "ReadyBoost". Supported Vista ReadyBoost is considered lame by all those who blog about it. Support of Windows 7 ReadyBoost is a little more robust IMHO you can do just as well with a key of 8 or 16 GB and spend much less than the cost of the in-house option of Lenovo.

  • Reviews for Turbo Memory hard disk cache

    What advantage does? Is it just fluff?

    The on-board hard disk cache is not enough? If this is not the case, if it really made something, why would it not longer than 8 MB?

    I don't see any other companies offering this option and can not find much information about it.

    There someone? Someone is taking it seriously?

  • Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

    I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

    The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

    Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

    + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.

  • Is it possible to upgrade memory hard drive?

    I'm just trying to see if I can move on to more memory on the hard drive of my computer or if I just need to go buy an external hard drive?

    Hi tnof77,

    Hard disks have "cache" memory but thats all and it cannot be upgraded. While the cache is important, that the amount of space on the hard drive is the main point of Director. If you run out of space hard drive then, Yes, you need to either buy a hard drive more "internal" or, if you only need additional space for the files etc, an external hard drive.

    Hello

    The link below is the manual of your device

  • Loss of memory hard drive

    I have a computer Dell Dimension 3000 DIM relatively old, running on Windows XP that was equipped with 40 gig of memory, which is now under 6 gig. My programs take hardly 2 gig of memory and I transferred all my documents to a flash drive, which consume 1.5 gig, and my hard drive memory continues to decrease. What happened to all the memory and how do I get at least a portion of it back, let's say 10 gig? Thanks for any help you can offer. GRDavis

    Memory and hard drive space are not related.

  • Loss of memory hard drive without loading anything

    I am running windows vista on my laptop and my hard drive memory continues to reduce even if I'm not loading anything. A few weeks ago, I noticed and did a cleaning disk, deleting all my points of restoration, but two nights ago I turned on my pc and it was about 62 g of free memory. I checked one more time before I turned it off and it was in the low 50s. The next morning, when I turned my computer on free memory space was only about 47g. I have a total of 250g momory and the only thing I use this computer for school work. Where is all of my memory going? What can I do about it?

  • Previous instance of the pilot still in memory - hard drive Ext

    It is on a disk Toshiba external hard usb connected to a w XPS8700 8.1 which works fine on other computers. The error message -cannot load the driver the previous instance of the device still in memory driver. I uninstalled the drive ext devices and printers where it appears with an exclamation mark and error message, rebooted, removed and reconnected to the diff, usb ports, changed power outlets, registered disk management - does not appear there or to Mgr. Unit nothing works. Yet to test it on my another victory 8.1 computer recognizes it immediately and I have access to all files.  It scans the drive and found no errors. Files can be moved to the other hard drive. The ext drive works OK on the 8700 for more than a year.

    edit -- found the reason - USB Mass Storage Device has the error -previous instance... still in memory. Any suggestions? Uninstalling and restarting does not help. Diagnostic tests were all very well.

    The fixed! This was caused by Pépin of the history of the files. (I hate file history) I opened Device Mgr, selected hidden devices and found an old entry of WD ext hard drive and deleted. Historical files should be disabled before changing anything. because it gave me errors on the disc Toshiba not found or not connected. I had disabled the USB storage device and had to re - activate. This requires a reboot, and the Toshiba external drive is now active and functional.

    I am leaving the history of files and make manual backups instead.

  • Ran memory hard drive, added a hard drive and hopeing I can combine somehow.

    I have added a second hard drive with XP on it. I have the second disk set to CSEL. I have a gateway pc. It appears in Device Manager. I was hopeing to combine them, a bit like you can do with vista. I put in wrong place

    If the primary transmission is set to Cable Select, you have set the jumperr on the extra disc correctly.

    If the primary transmission is set to master, you must assign additional drive SLAVE jumpers

    Assuming that both show in BIOS, Device Manager and Windows Explorer, you cannot combine the two discs.

    What you can do is freshly format additional drive and then move all files data yourr on him... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Desktop Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  • Color Laserjet 4550 DN: Memory / Hard drive in a printer, that we need to have

    We have a printer Color Laserjet 4550 DN we need to dispose of it. We want to assure you that there is no hard drive, which must be erased or destroyed for security reasons, until we get rid of it.

    Only the hdn model came with a hard drive.  You can tell if you a looking at the back where you have run the cable to the computer or the network.  On this board there called EIO housing.  One is used for the network card and if you have a hard drive, there will be another card inserted in the slot EIO others which I do not think that you will have.  If there is another card just loosen the two screws and remove it.

  • How can you say that you have the 24GB flash hard drive Cache acceleration

    I bought the laptop with 24 GB flash Drive acceleration hard cover, but I don't see an SSD when I go on my computer.

    Yes, it is not recognized as a lettered drive. It is combined with the main drive in a RAID array. Look in the list of programs and find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and open it. If you have the cache drive 24 concert he will look something like this:

  • Memory hard drive endangered.

    I use Vista. I get the message about dangerously low memory on my C drive.
    When I check all the contents in C, it is about 12 GB in total, including hidden files. The drive is small, only 19.5 GB but this still leaves 7.5 Go missing. There are no restore points saved and no backup shadow copies.
    When I run a defrag analysis, he shows no space free, all just don't a lot, a lot of files fragmented. I get a message that my C drive is 30% fragmented.
    Can not defragment...  Someone at - it ideas?

    Get a larger drive. There is no real solution other than that. 19.5 GB is just too small to accommodate the operating system and installed software. In addition to the 8-12 GB used by the operating system, it is the space allocated to processes such as system restore and the pagefile. In addition, you need a certain amount of free space, roughly 15% or ~ 3 GB allowing expansion and %Temp% files.

    A computer being used is not static, dynamic, and you need room to move. Think of it as trying to ride a motorcycle in your living room - you can adapt it in there, but you can't really use it.

  • First, keeping the creation of media to the HARD Drive Cache files if it is full

    Hello

    I use the latest version of first. The problem is the same with the previous version 2015.3.

    I have a complete project of mp4 files. I edit a huge project with over 4000 hours of footages, but I only import footages that I am cut, so it should be no problem for first. Maybe the problem comes from those mp4 files, but I'm not sure.

    I tried many different types of settings but first always creates and re-creation of media cache files.

    You can see on the picture. It does exactly the same thing if I put media files in external drives.

    I tried to do a new project and re - import the files, but it does the same thing.

    My assistants working on different computers have the same problem.

    For now, the only way I found to remove the media Cache files when the disk got full, but recently, I have to do more than once day and my external HDD, SSD is 1 TB.

    Thus, it creates 1 TB of file cache in half a day.

    If someone has an idea to fix that, it would be really appreciated.

    Best,

    Matthew Laclau.

    In first preferences, according to the media section, you have a check mark next to "write XMP IDS to files? If this setting is not enabled, enable it. Usually helps in this scenario, especially if working with double media on different drives.

  • Can I put some Cache bridge on the external hard drive for images in are there?

    Hello

    I'm on a MacBook Pro retina.

    While I have a 500 GB hard drive, I noticed that the bridge CS 6 cache becomes plu quickly (1 terabyte SSD impatient).

    I have most of my images on external hard drives, but Bridge CS6 cache seems to be on my computer.

    Can I keep the bridge locally cache?

    So if I have 1000 images on the hard disk, the cache for them would be on hard drive.

    And for 100 TIFFS on drive B, cache on the hard drive of B.

    And for the most recent 100 TIFF I keep on my hard disk, the cache of the bridge would be on my computer.

    It this what by checking the box next to 'automatically export Caches files when Possible' made or I am misunderstanding and this option updates only the COPY of the files on the external hard drive cache, but the cache on my computer bridge file contains still images, no matter on which hard drive, they would be?

    Yes, 100% preview can eat a lot of disk space.  If you do a lot of export of raw images on another disk outside the bridge I would ditch export the folder option.  Compact cache can help to eliminate inches with no parents, and many purge the cache from time to time to reduce the size.

    I always recommend a Samsung Evo 850 as best consumer SSD. I recommend you get at least a version of 250 gig and preferably a 500.

    You don't need to worry about any special BIOS settings or anything just to plug and treat it like any other hard drive. Many people resist the question and read articles that are a few years old at the time when you had to 'create' the system for one SSD. Not really need more.
