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!

Hi Agaillot,

You should be able to see the controller mode in the Intel RST utility, including the speed of the port. What do you see here?

  • 17-j111sl and Samsung SSD 840 EVO HP

    I just buy a HP Envy series, after discovering that two places are available for the HD box, I was wondering what were the procedures to install a 840 EVO primary HD SSD Samsung (then with the OS and programs launch frequent thereon) and use the HARD drive I gave with the computer as a second HD for storage of static data.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    The first thing you need is a second disc hard caddy/cable here:

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=542

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=page&ID=39

    Since the product number you give is for a portable computer released in Italy I will assume that you live in Italy. Newmodeus.com is supplied in Italy. I couldn't find this unit on eBay Italy. I know there are European dealers for the products and supports similar 2d for the hard disk of the aftermarket, but prices tend to be not better than buy newmode and pay international shipping.

    The best way to get the software on the original disk SSD is a clone and once you have the hard drive kit 2d, you can make the clone entirely inside the laptop. Put the SSD in the second span to start the clone and then swap the drives.

    For cloning, there are a lot of programs out there. I like to use Acronis True Image Home 2014. @erico has also published a guide to cloning here:

    Depending on the size of the SSD you buy, you will not be able to use the recovery DVD or player is Recovery Manager for the thumb. So, you can skip this part of the thread.

  • 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.

  • Windows 8 - clean install on a Samsung SSD of 840 Evo

    Hello

    I'm trying to do a clean install of Windows 8 on my new Samsung 840 Evo SSD - but when I go through the process of installing Windows 8 will detect not the hard drive - and wonder for drivers?
    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

    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.

  • Impossible to get Samsung SSD EVO to work on the Satellite L50-A0424

    I tried these last days to set up an EVO Samsung 500 GB SDD on my laptop, a Toshiba L50-A0424 and I can only call an exercise in frustration. First of all, the Samsung comes packed with a SATA cable USB cloning of the original hard drive is a pain. After cloning, the next problem is the Toshiba to accept DSS. Make me 2 errors: if I change the boot mode in the UEFI I get an error "check media prescence.

    If I change to the CSM, I get a PXE - MOF - exit Intel PXE ROM. am using the latest version of the BIOS, ver 1.9. It is; s been proposals to downgrade the BIOS to ver 1.2 but when even did not do this. Any ideas on what I can do? Feeling puzzled and irritated and really regret my decision to buy a Toshiba

    Sorry, but I must ask you this question: is recognized by the BIOS of SSD?
    Have you tried to install original recovery image on it?

    I ask this question because I use Samsung SSD on my laptop older satellite and it works without any problem.

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  • 220 X and Samsung SSD 830

    Hi all

    I intend to get the 830 SSD from Samsung (128 GB) for my 220 X - it seems that the best alternative for a 7 mm workout, since neither MI OCZ or HyperX is available 7 mm of height - and I will not risk my 3 year on site warranty rebuild any part of my laptop.

    Someone of you has experience with the Samsung 830 in a Lenovo laptop?

    It s work very fast now

  • 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

    okinchi

    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.

  • Activate the AHCI for Samsung SSD on Pavilion DV9910us

    Updated DV9910us for Win7 64 bit, 4 GB RAM, installed Bios version F34, 830 SSD from Samsung.

    It is a processor AMD Turion TL-60.

    Samsung software magician said that AHCI is not enabled.  Device Manager shows no AHCI hardware or drivers installed.

    I understand that a system with Intel would not have this problem, but is there a solution for this? My random reads are abiysmal (6008 IOPS / s).

    Hello, @KipIsbell

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    Unfortunately, what you're trying to do is not an available option in this notebook. Generally, you would change setting from the BIOS so it was an available setting.

    If you have not updated your BIOS, you can try this but no guarantee that it will have this feature.

    Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause.

  • 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.

  • T500 SSD Samsung Evo 840

    Hello

    I've had a T500 laptop for about 4.5 years now and I'm looking to replace my HARD drive. I'm afraid that happens at the end of its service life. I'm looking to replace it with an SSD - especially a Samsung 840 EVO (MZ-7TE250BW). I am aware that I won't speed SATA III (seems to be SATA I or possibly II - even then it will still be an improvement from my HARD drive).

    From what I found, the T500 has a drive Bay 2.5 "9.5 mm. However, the EVO 840 is 2.5 "7.0 mm. So my question is this - can be PLOPPED in the SSD to replace the HARD drive, or is there some necessary adapter kit? The player would need a different box / rails? Obviously 7.0 mm would fit, but I don't know if the screws / connectors were queuing and if something would be needed to fill the extra space to make the drive safer. There are a bunch of EVO 840 which comes with a 'portable' kit but I don't know if it works in my T500.

    Thank you

    Mark

    Welcome to the forum!

    I have installed a number of 7mm SSD using the standard a 9mm HARD drive caddy/rails. Have not yet tested the EVO, but I do not think that you will have problems here.

    Happy update.

  • Pavilion DV6215us: Pavilion DV6215us and upgrade to SSD Samsung 850 EVO does not.

    Pavilion DV6215us is SSD Samsung 850 EVO compatible? I cloned the original Hitachi hard drive and everything was going well. I have installed the Samsung and porwered upwards. The answer is only pushed Esc to get to settings that meets never or boots.  Given that the new drive to adapt very well and everything seemed fine before installing it is there any reason this SSD shouldn't work?  Y at - it info on SSD drives will work with the laptop?  Thank you

    Yes the DV6000 by DV6499 series with AMD processor is not able to support an SSD. The storage controller uses a SATA interface, but it is 'false' SATA running on a legacy IDE bus. No ahci, which is necessary for the operation of the SSD. That's why we put Windows XP on them without any special driver tips during installation.

  • Pavilion dv6 3100: unable to start pavilion dv6 3100 again clone Samsung ssd 850 evo

    Im trying to upgrade the HDD to the SSD.  Tried a Samsung ssd - 850 EVO 500 GB after cloning, using Samsung data migration software.  However, Windows will not start since the new cloned ssd.  I get a black sreen showing, "windows does not have start message and all... and shows--

    Status: 0x000000f.

    Info: an error occurred while trying to read the boot configuration data. »

    Samsung Wizard is not able to find data on the ssd.  I looked up and gathered a lot of information and did everything I could.  Disk Manager recognizes the device when connected via USB (for cloning).  Device Manager displays the storage as -«IDE...» SATA/AHCI controller... ».   I enabled AHCI in the regedit - the HKEY_LOCAL... Msahci, IastorV, etc.  I also updated all the possible drivers and firmware and BIOS (f29).  Yet once the ssd is connected and placed in the drive Bay, Windows just would not start.

    I'm an amateur, pretendng to be an "expert"!

    Someone please help!

    I have treid sfc/scannow - did not work.  Not sure it'll work, I was not ready to move to another

    $50 on Acronis software cloning.  So, in the end, I opted for a clean install of windows7 operating system, using my own system recovery disks that I created previously.

    Every thing looks and works perfectly.  Samsung magician is able to detect the ssd by his real name (and not as ASMT 2115) and also shows that the AHCI is enabled. The time spent was worthwhile.

    Thank you.
