The strange history of the Flash SSD

My SSD keeps disappearing, and I don't know why.

This is the question, here is the context.

I have a mid-2011 iMAC that has notoriously slow HD by default.  More than a year ago, I've added an SSD and created a Fusion drive what improved performance 10 fold.  I have not had any problems with this Setup until recently when the SSD is dead.

So I got an another SSD, popped my iMAC opened and succeeded him.  Until I put it in I tested it under OSX and Windows to do that all the good-looking.  This is what the SSD disappears without good reason, which means his fatal to the Fusion drive configuration.  It seems to disappear when there is intense activity in the car (like the reinstallation of the operating system, restore from a time Machine or do a deep analysis/verification with a tool like DriveDX) or when the computer is idle for long periods of time.  But it could be a coincidence - it's just the model only I noticed.  Reboot usually brings the SSD back (9 of 10 events, he did it anyway).

Before I crack it open again - something I really want to do -I was wondering if there is something that may be at fault in the OS level (or anything else I can try) before resorting to opening it.  To me it looks like a connection problem - maybe the power connector is not stuck in properly.  Here are a few newspapers/screenshots:

The SSD is connected to the optical Bay SATA connector?

  • Why raw of Sony DSC-RX100M3 air files strange in PE9 when flash was used in the shot?

    I just bought a camera Sony DSC-RX100M3 and use in RAW + jpeg.  I want to use in my Photoshop Elements 9 raw files, having the Camera Raw plugin version 6.5.0.216 installed. I downloaded the Adobe's DNG Converter 8.7.1.311 version so I can import my Sony raw files into EP 9 because they cannot be used directly. Most of the time these files raw look OK, but when I use the flash on my camera and then look at the raw files in PE9 they seem much more pink than jpeg files. Jpeg files are more or less similar that I remember the scene when I took the picture.

    When I look at the same raw and jpeg in Sony files have (version 4.2.04.17270) software Image Data Converter the raw and jpeg files are similar to one another and there is no colour pink cast in the raw file.

    What I am doing wrong in Photoshop Elements? I have the DNG Converter retains all the information from the original raw file and makes no changes, so why not the raw file look so different when flash was used?

    Thanks for any help you can give!

    I interpret the differences that you see the difference between the Adobe Standard camera profile and that Sony made with the colors.

    I can get things to look more like what you see in-camera jpg by simply changing the Adobe Standard camera to camera neutral profile on the camera Calibration tab.  I don't remember if PSE9/ACR6 has these available camera simulation profiles or if you has that Adobe Standard.  If you have the other, then switch to the use of one of them.

    Here's what the image looks like in the last Camera Raw plugin 8.7.1 to PSE13 after having chosen the camera neutral profile that looks less magenta and more green as the JPG:

    I think that part of your question is that you have mixed lighting where the light blue flash is mixing with some slightly more hot (incandescent) or (fluorescent) green color to the right side is hotter than the left side.  Apart from the differences in color, there is also a shadow in the foreground, perhaps caused by your sun visor that should be eliminated or your goal is too long to use a flash that relatives or something.

  • The file that is saved or used by a third party through the Flash Player Plugin disappears when I close firefox?

    My settings in Firefox are:
    Indicate the sites I want to be the subject of a follow-up.
    Clear history of Firefox closing.
    Keep Cookies until Firefox is closed, and
    Warn me when Web sites try to install add-ons.

    Flash player and Adobe Air are not installed, but I have in the game from the Flash drive to make me reject the third-party application and I simply live with not having access to the videos.
    If the third file is deleted when I close firefox so I would like to install Flash player after isolate my personal files from the third party.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I don't know that Firefox can or removes it Flash "local storage objects", which is the kind of storage of the data of the Flash Player asks questions on. There is an add-on for this, so I suspect that this is not automatic:

  • install the flash player

    Whenever I have install adobe flash player, it is said that he has been successively installed. But, when I try and use it for a video, it says the video must for me to install flash player. I've installed flash player several times, without success. I get the message, I need to install flash player, although I installed it, and adobe has said that it has been installed successively. What in the world gives? Can you help me? Thank you.

    The forum software does not detect your Flash plugin. Can you check if it's disabled? You can do so here:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    It should be listed as Shockwave Flash. If it is disabled, it is sorted downwards on a gray background.

    To see if the Flash player plugin at its usual location, see this file:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash {based on Windows 7 64-bit}
    

    You want to find NPSWF32_11_7_700_224.dll

    If this file does not exist, you may need to install again. Be sure to specify that you want the player for non - IE browsers.

    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

    If it's there, but Firefox is not found:

    (1) you will need to exit and restart Firefox to re-scan for new plug-ins. (After that, you can use history > restore previous Session to recover your most recently used windows and tabs.)

    (2) if it does not help, the setting to scan the registry for the new plugins may have been disabled. You can see here:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the filter box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) If plugin.scan.plid.all is not set to its default value true, double-click it to activate it by default. You will need to exit and restart Firefox to trigger another analysis.

    If this change does not stick, find a user.js file as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Fingers crossed we solved somewhere along the line!

  • Z440: Z Turbo - replace the m2 SSD?

    I bought a HP Z440 (G1X59EA) a year ago and it came with a HP Z Turbo 256 GB card installed as the OS drive.

    Now, I want to replace the stick M.2 256 GB on a stick of 512 GB m2 Z Turbo PCIe card and wonder if I can just buy a Samsung MZ-V5P512BW standard and simply replace the original m2 stick on my HP Z Turbo card. (The original m2 stick is Samsung).

    Purchase of a new Turbo Z 512 GB card PCIe is too expensive, that s why I want to just buy a new m2 paste and replace the old. I am aware that I have to reinstall my OS.

    Or, to simplify, the m2 on the Turbo Z cards are a standard m2 card?

    / Roger

    Use Crystal info disc to find out what is installed and then you know what you need when you replace the 256Go. Crystal disc will tell you which interface is used.

    http://CrystalMark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html

    The Samsung PCIE device you mentioned is not viable as a direct substitute in the HP Turbo Z card.

    It uses a NVMe interface instead of the MLC nand which uses theTurbo Z M.2 SSD .

    Here is an article that will give you a sone preview what I mean.

  • HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

    Hello

    I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

    I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

    I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

    Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

    FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

    Thank you.

    Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

    Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

    In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

    And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

    Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

    So what I have is:

    -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

    -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

    -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

    -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

    -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

    -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

    -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

    I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

    1. THE SYSTEM

    2 NTFS empty

    3 recovery

    4.HP_TOOLS

    After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

    Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

    I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

    I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

    I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

    I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

    I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

    Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.

  • How can I remove the flashing lights on the photos?

    It's very strange and really curious what it is. Sometimes on the images, e.g. bing images and even now on my flash drive images, there are little flashing lights that looks almost like Christmas lights usually located on dark areas of images. Simply load the flash player and seen even on here so I wonder if it has anything to do with the flash player. Has anyone ever heard talk about this before? Thank you

    original title: strange lights on photos

    OK I got it is VLC it. While playing a video with VLC, images appear in this way. Strange one indeed lol.

  • Documents folder redirected to the flash player and not able to change

    Hello

    I am running Vista and for some odd reason the documents folder is redirected to the USB flash drive. I changed the location of the default documents folder target. No luck.

    The strange thing is that I am not able to remove the flash drive as he continues to tell me it is in use and I am not able to open documents if the flash player is not inserted.

    How can I fix?

    Thank you very much.

    No, did not work.

    Don't worry, will reinstall the machine. No such thing as a good clean start :)

  • In view of all the flash SC4020

    Hello

    We are looking at a SC4020 table all the flash. We got a quote with 6 x 1.6 to WI and 12 x 3.8 TB RI TLC. They told us, that level 1 must be sized to contain about 12 days to write data.

    Is what I understand in the white paper "Progression of data optimized Flash", starting with SC OS 6.4 data will be moved to the SSD RI level after each replay taken. So if we take a replay every 4 hours, there is no need such a large level 1 with SSD WI. Is this correct?

    And a second question: we also had a quote on one level SC4020 with SSD RI only (24 x 1.9 TB), which best fits our budget. Y at - it a reasonable maximum size of daily data to write?

    Thank you!

    It's old enough information. They say that because the progression from original data works on a cycle of 12 days for data "accessible". Inaccessible (data that has crushed but must still be around) data could get pushed immediately on the next progression of 'original' data

    Also, you reason in this ODDP (optimized data flash progress) is MUCH faster to move data between layers, especially in Flash. In your WI & RI proposed configuration, you want to size the WI layer for writing changes between the scheduled Replay gold is 24 hours. You can get 24 HR of DPACK number and divide it by the timing of Replay if you take more than every 24 hours.   Your thinking is correct here!

    Also, I would personally go with the option single tier unless you have data of extremely high writing that requires readers WI. A part of RI one level is good for customers 'most', but your data DPACK should dictate that.

  • Remove the Flash recovery area

    Hello
    IAM on oracle 11.2.0.1 on windows 2008 64-bit. We have a database with the recovery flash set up in her area. We want to delete (IE completely remove the flash recovery area without affecting the DB). So, what should I do? I can find one of my files to control it. I want to completely remove the flash recovery area so that my data files and files redo, control files can be on the same location. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In addition to having a control file in the flash recovery area, which is strange, not desired, I wonder if you have covered Google for the answer: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=oracle%20remove%20flash%20recovery%20area

    Transfer the control file to another location means a change in the spfile and restart the database.

    For the rest, refer to the manuals

  • Having to reinstall the Flash after each reboot.

    Windows 7 - IE9 - Flash version 11.0.1.152 - Plugins and OS update - ESET Smart Securty 4

    I am prompted to install the new version of Flash after a reboot, then, it happens at least once a day.

    I have install Flash and he moved very well and works until the PC starts again.

    I tried some of the following:

    -Use the Adobe Flash uninstaller before installing

    -Using the stand-alone Installer

    -Checked filter ActiveX and it has been off... turning on the causes

    This same behavior, but the problem I have has nothing to do with the filter

    Not sure when this started, but the user does not have this problem until recently.

    I use ESET Smart Security 4. On all of our systems, and that his PC is the only

    one that has a problem. Need elements pretty hard until I took the trouble

    with uninstall ESET just to see if that would help.

    The part that is really strange... If I manage add on, when it is running,

    I see that the Flash player it and name of Adobe here and that it is enabled.

    After I reboot and go into the Add-ons Manager, Flash is still there and still

    activated, but it now says "Unknown" instead of "Adobe" and is therefore no longer

    other programs Adobe listed. But then, when I reinstall, which becomes

    'fixed' and now, Adobe still says. So it seems almost like a problem of IE9

    and maybe a problem of corruption. No known problems with the PC. I guess

    reload from PC to starting from scratch would fix the problem... at least I hope he would,

    but I'm not ready for the main surgery if there is an easier solution.

    The TakeOwnership script took care of the problem. I'm not 100% OK with it, because it seems to just move UAC and a decrease in security. But at least it now seems to work the way it is supposed to in IE9 and I still probably charge this PC from scratch at an opportune time. Thank you!

  • The Iphone needs to cool down before using the flash

    Hi sangani53,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    This message indicating that your iPhone must cool before using the flash indicates that the temperature of your iPhone is passed to where certain features will be disabled.  Once you bring the temperature down, the features should come back.  Take a look at this link for more information on updating your iPhone in the operating temperature.

    Keep the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch in acceptable operating temperatures

    Take care.

  • How to block all the videos and ads on all the site as how it is when it shows the gray screen when the flash player needs to be updated

    Hi there please help me. I didn't have this problem until two days ago when the browser updated itself. I have the youtube video downloader add on and always use it. I'm on a data plan and it used to block videos and add ads which I like, but now is not because of the update, I came back to the old version, but it did not help and I downloaded the flash but block it does not work. It makes the slow loading of pages and uses a large amount of data that I tried many things like all the plugins of switching to add it on the menu to activate ever and it doesn't quite work. Before it used to show the gray screen, where it says "the flash player is out of date" on videos and commercials, but he does not do this because of the update so please help me to do it again.

    I solved. On the firefox support page they will give you information about the HTML5 player and they say there that firefox uses it only 38 version before so I'm 36 version and it worked in blocking it as before.

    So its all sort and if everyone wants to do the same thing go to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ and all previous versions will be there.
