Tecra R840 mSata SSD installation in module 3G position

Hello
I have a Tecra R840-110 model, there is also a 3 G module inside, I would install the mSata SSD pcie slot.
Is possible to use the mSata SSD instead of module 3 G pcie slot?

Thank you very much for your help!

I think that something like this is not possible. Card mother ports are not a kind of flexible ports.
In the past, that Toshiba gave the second HARD drive, upgrade instead of the optical drive using special adapter.

  • Tecra R840 - energy SSD after closing

    Hello

    Could someone tell me what than a ssd power consumption when the computer is turned off?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra R840-16J (bougth 6 months ago) with a sweet Plextor M5Pro 512 GB ssd intalled. Yestarday, after a charge of 100%, I liquidated the laptop and today (after 4 pm) I turn it on! The battery was at 93%. Is this normal? What could be the cause of this decline of 7%?
    I use a bluetooth mouse but I thing that when I stop the laptop everything must be switched off!

    Hello

    Some options such as wake on LAN or wake on keyboard drain on the battery even if the laptop is turned OFF.
    To avoid this, you need to turn off these options in the BIOS.

    Note: Don't forget save changes when settings have been changed.

  • Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

    Hello world

    This is my first post here!
    I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
    The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

    I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

    My questions:

    1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
    2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
    3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

    Kind regards
    Paulo

    > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

    I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
    You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

    > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

    It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
    Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:
    Tecra R840 & Satellite R840 HARD drive replacement procedure
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU19037K0000R01.htm

    > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
    You can use an option included in Windows 7:
    Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
    Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
    Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
    When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

  • mSATA SSD + 2.5 "HD on Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p

    Hello

    soon I'll be getting a laptop Toshiba Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p, reference PT45GE-06S03F7J, it comes with a 250GB SSD mSATA. I want to know if it is possible to install a second hard disk 2.5 "additional or I have to choose between having a regular vs 2.5 mSATA SSD" HD.

    Thank you.

    Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA SSD instead of a hard drive.
    But there is only one place to connect the hard drive SSD SSD/HDD or mSATA.

    In the case of mSATA SSD drive, there is a special mSATA HOLDER that lets connect you the mSATA SSD to a 2.5 SATA controller ".

  • Tecra R840 - need help for installing the SSD

    Hello

    Sorry, again, but I really need help with that?
    My new ssd (arriving in a few days) is a Plextor M5P which is 7 mm thick! My Tecra R840-16J have a thickness 9.5 mm HDD and what I've seen is no caddy!
    I would be grateful all the tricks for installing the ssd drive in my Tecra!

    Thanks for your time,

    Paulo

    Hello Paulo

    As far as I know that some models are available with drive HARD and some with SSD these models with SSD have small SSD support. SSD is fixed by 4 screws in this medium.

    I put t really know how to help you now. Maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I think they can check the part number of this door - or maybe order one for you.

  • Msata ssd in X 230 installation will void the warranty?

    Hello

    the guy at my local store campus told me that installing an msata ssd in a X 230 me would, of course, void my warranty. Is this really true? Many people seem to install themselves, and the ssd is indeed a YEAR for X 220. On the other hand, in accordance with the X 230 Hardware Maintenance Manual, this no longer seems to be the case...

    If the HMM said that the part is a FRU, and then replace the part on your own, will indeed, null your guarantee.

  • TECRA R840-16V to win7 64-bit to win10 level

    I tried to upgrade my Tecra R840-16V (number PT429E-05M00KGE) form windows 7 64 bit pro to windows 10 pro through windows update. During the upgrade procedure is complete all seemed ok, but after a while, the system froze (even the mouse). I did a reboot in my system via the power button / stop, the system has worked well for about an hour and froze again. I did a reboot via the Start button / stop, one more time and I had the same problem after all. I did a restore of the system in windows 7 and everything works fine without any gel at all.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a solution or suggestion to update my system without problems on windows 10 pro?

    Hello

    Never solved this problem, I have the same problem with my Tecra R840. I have windows 10 initial installation when it was first released, however had the freezing issue (System fan would also begin running at 100%, that is very strong but whole machine was locked and would require a hard reset). After a few weeks of this question, that I started Windows 7 and which would be fine.

    However, just tonight I thought I would try the anniversary 10 Windows Update to see if that had solved the problem, unfortunately the same problem persists. After you have installed update Windows 10 anniversary (updated to Windows 7), the laptop freezes still. There a simple 3 minutes after connecting the fan turns 100%, and everything froze upwards.

    Thoughts/ideas or help here would be appreciated?

    See you soon

  • Tecra Z50 - mSATA SDS + 2.5 "HDD?

    Hallo!

    I've seen in a Youtube video, that the SSD that come as standard are mSATA those and that there is space for a 2.5 drive "under.

    So my question is: if I buy a Toshiba Tecra Z50-A-12R, which comes with a 500 GB HARD drive, can I install an additional mSATA SSD as my system disk and using the 500 GB HARD drive as a second drive?

    Thank you
    Martin

    Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of one
    hard disk drive. The computer seems to supports a 128 GB and 512 GB disk SSD 256Go

    but as far as I know there is only a single SATA controller to connect a HARD drive or SSD.
    The mSATA SSD drive is connected to the controller using mSATA HOLDER ASSY.

    So this cpl carrier is necessary if you want to use an mSATA SSD.
    Of course, you n t need if you use common disk 2.5 SSD or HDD 2.5

  • Tecra R840-109 - alert HDD - unable to get disk information

    I turned on my Toshiba Tecra R840-109 and everything looks that the factory settings have been restored, but I still have my files on the hard disk in the users folder (where the system has also built a temporary user I'm connected now, I guess).

    At the opening, the computer asked me to do the things you do when you get a new computer (for example accept the license, install browsers, register fingerprints, if applicable etc.). In addition, it showed an error, alert HDD/SDD saying "Could not get the information from the disk, cannot use the alert function".

    Is there a way to solve this problem, that is, to apply the previous (original) user?

    An obvious solution would probably be to restore the system, but I don't have a backup set to the top (which I will fix as soon as this problem will be solved). Tried to reboot, nothing has changed.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    To be honest situation described sounds pretty confusing and not logical for me.
    If you do not have recovery (DVD or USB) media create using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    After this use this bootable media and reinstalling the recovery image so you will have 'presets' again. After the installation of clean operating system, it is not possible to have the old data stored on the HARD drive, not on the C partition.
    The fact is that before the installation of recovery begins any HARD drive will be deleted and formatted.

    Sorry if I got you. If you have any concrete and clear questions do not hesitate to ask.

  • Tecra R840 - atikmpag.sys causes bluescreen

    Hello

    displaying videos on my Tecra R840 sometimes I get a blue screen with the atikmpag.sys driver.

    Happens to every time, but often - about one in four times or more.

    The blue screen occurs especially at the beginning of the video - but sometimes also in the end.

    In the download for my Tecra area, there is only one pilot display of 2012 - I have installed.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, 8 GB of RAM and the AMD Radeon HD 6450 M.

    Does anyone have a tip for me?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Anne

    Hello

    Because this problem does not always, but sometimes, it would be very difficult to reproduce this BSOD and therefore, it is not very easy to say why the BSOD appears.

    Is that file atikmpag.sys belongs to the graphics card driver.
    It seems that the graphics card driver crashes, and therefore the BSOD occurs.
    But why?

    I have two different theories:
    (1) the graphics driver is not fully compatible with the new software installed, tools (games), etc., but the fact is that the Toshiba driver page does not provide all new GPU drivers for this model of laptop. The other point is that the same driver version worked correctly in the past and I m wondering why the same driver should not operate correctly now if it worked correctly in the past.

    (2) my 2nd theory is that the BSOD appears due to the higher temperature of the internal GPU. The highest temperature is mainly a reason for blockages of the system and also responsible for issues of the graphics card.

    Have you tried to reinstall/recover the system? Isn't it?
    I would recommend you do this using the Toshiba recovery disc. This procedure should always be made in the event of system problems.

    I also recommend you to clean the modules of cooling using a jet of compressed air. That would help you get rid of the dust. Dust is mainly a reason if it comes to a temperature higher inside the laptop.

  • Satellite A210-248 does not recognize the 840 ECO mSATA SSD

    Hello

    Satellite A210 does not support port mSATA and therefore the mSATA SSD module cannot be used.
    Probably, you have found a mini-PCI on the motherboard slot. It certainly looks like mSATA but its not the same thing.

  • Tecra R840 - which partitions can I delete?

    Hello

    I installed a Plextor M5P 512 GB ssd in my Tecra R840-16J! I'm very happy with it :-)
    Restore laptop to factory state using the recovery DVDs I created before! Now, I have 2 copies and a 16 GB USBFlash with an extra copy! So I can restore to factory State whenever I want!

    But I would like to delete the allocated partitions to this!
    In my SSD, I have 3 partitions made after recovery (please to image): http://imageshack.us/a/img827/4873/34012663.jpg

    Who then can I remove?

    Thank you very much
    Paulo

    First (1.4 GB) partition is created automatically by Windows 7 and there are some files used by Win 7 in case you need fix the system or set system time back at the beginning.
    The second partition C is common system partition containing the Win 7 OS.
    The last partition is the recovery partition that contains the files to recover.
    Recovery files are required to create a recovery disk. In addition the recovery partition allows to recover the laptop without the use of the recovery disk (HARD disk recovery option)

    I do not recommend to remove or change any partition UNTIL you not create the recovery disk.
    Create the recovery disk and then you could change the partitions of HARD drive theoretically you can delete the last partition of HARD drive recovery if you have already created the recovery disc.

    The 3G modem is installed correctly, but the connection is detected as a LAN no dial-up connection. So I can't connect, and he repeats to me plug in a cable.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem?
    This laptop will be supported for Windows 8?
