• XPS8500 mSATA iii, HARD drive disk SATA port?

  I have a XPS8500 Office with 2 SATA iii HARD drive currently as the only player to. I bought a 1 to Samsun Evo 850 to replace the HARD drive (the HARD drive has only about 600 GB used, so it should migrate completely without problem). Ports SATA 4 deep 1 SATA ii and SATA 0 and mSATA ports are the only SATA iii ports, I would move the existing 2 TB HDD in a location empty in the cage with the SSD drive in the location of the SATA 0 port. Ideally I would drive the HARD drive using the port mSATA to keep capacity SATA iii. Is there an adapter that will allow you to it? In other words: an adapter to change the architecture of the port mSATA connector to allow a normal SATA cable connect the port for a SATA drive.

  There are adapters to convert a port mSATA on the motherboard in a standard SATA 3 port to a HARD drive. If you google around you can find them, for example this one.

  Remember that I do not specifically recommend (or not) this map or this provider. So shop around to find what fits your needs and your budget.

  Also, I have no idea how that these adapters are working (or not).

• ExpressCache broken after update hard drive Protection

  I have a brand new E530 with 16 GB SSD. Product Code: 3259A 29.

  I installed the ExpressCache with the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\ExpressCache installation program. Everything went well and the thing ran faster, for a day.

  Now I have updated the Protection of hard drive, such as recommended by the ThinkVantage System Update to Version 1.77.0.5.

  Since then, I get an error message during startup: "2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. "After ESC the machine starts.

  But ExpressCache doesn't work anymore. On the command line the command eccmd.exe - info says "* ERROR * ECCmd required peripheral is not available: 2

  I guess, the update of the ruined the ExpressCache HD-protection - hide.

  How can I fix ExxpressCache? All eccmd.exe options, it returns the error message above.

  Thanks for your help!

  awehring,

  You see the error message:

  «2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. »

  is from the BIOS.  You say that the mSATA SSD (or the port that it attached) is bad.

  I recommend you call the support phone number in your country to apply for warranty repair.

  The update of the software APS could not cause this, given that the APS software runs only under Windows.  You see the error message is BIOS.  I think it is purely a coincidence that HW failure is apparently happened as you updated the software of the APS.

• Pavilion 550-254-112na: Broken data on hard drive WD blue port

  The data port broke on the hard drive. Y at - it a British supplier for a new pcb 2060-771945-002? I can only find overseas with extended delivery. As I have only owned this computer for 2 weeks, I want to make it work again. I know I can get traded locally of the bios chip if necessary. Much dg_hlc thanks

  Hi @dg_hlc!

  Personally, I would say to get a new drive if possible because the problems related to the card of the unit are not easy to solve.

  Of course, you can try to replace it if you want, but I do not recommend. I'm not saying it, not only because it is an operation not caring and not recommended in general, but especially because the risk to damage further the drive is too big and that the chances of finding an exact match of a PCB are really weak because of differences in the firmware over the years.

  The danger is that it can () will have different settings for how align the heads to the tracks on the surface of the physical disk, and when it tries to write anything (which it will) it will result in all current data is erased.

  I hope this helps and good luck!

• XP hangs after connecting an external hard drive via USB port

  When I connect an external hard drive of 250GB via a USB port on my system XP - SP3, the computer crashes immediately after the sound signal from the recognition of a normal connection PnP. There is no assignment of the station. I don't know that he had worked as can be expected before. A new 500 GB external hard drive is recognized as new hardware, the driver installed and ready to use, but after that, the PC shuts down completely new. However, when I do a system startup after connection of the same two drives, everything looks OK. Also, no problem with a USB stick of 2 GB. How to find what's the problem?

  Well - it's Windows for you, sometimes. :/

  Good luck with your new installation!

• Question of firmware update hard drives/RAID

  We have a Server Power Edge R210II with OS MS Server 2008R2 and a Controller PERC H200 RAID (two disc HARD 1 TB Seagate SATA in RAID1).
  Recently, there is a new firmware for Seagate drives on a dell (Package update for MS Windows) support site.
  I really don't want to lose the server :) and never update firmware on the disks on the server with RAID (I've updated the players only on PC).
  Can someone tell me a procedure to update the firmware on my drives? Problems with the upgrade, best practices etc?
  Thanks for any help,
  Marius

  Best practices:

  • First have a backup. Should data not destructive, but everything can happen.
  • Use SUU or Repository Manager to update ALL of your system - iDRAC/BIOS firmware, PERC and other firmware must be updated before the firmware of the HARD drive.

  Most HARD drive firmware updates are bootable, so you just get the utility boot and update.

  You cannot update firmware of the drive not Dell with Dell firmware (i.e. If you bought the retail/generic readers).

• Update hard drive to SSD

  Hello

  I have a 2012 end mac mini, hearts, i7, 1 TB. Recently, I got a SMART error, and now it has deteriorated further. I have a time machine backup. I have another HARD drive with the operating system. So if the internal HARD drive failed completely, I'm sure.

  I want to upgrade to a 1 TB SSD. I have contacted apple and their prices are extremely high. I price $ 250 - $400 for the three following models: are they compatible?

  (1) transcend: Transcend 1 TB MLC SATA III 6 Gb/s 2.5 "Solid State Drive 370

  (2) SanDisk Extreme PRO 960 GB SATA 6.0 GB/s 7 mm height 2.5 - Inch Solid State (SSD) with 10 year warranty drive

  (3) critical BX200 960 GB SATA 2.5 inch internal Solid State Drive

  If they are compatible, please let me know on the reputation of those marks. Seagate is also quite good in my experience, I can look to their SSD equivalent also. Thanks a ton.

  All are compatible and should work correctly. I would opt for the SanDisk or Crucial. I failed to transcend everything simply because I know little about the company.

• Update hard drive to disk hybird / HP Envy 15.6 (DV6-7226NR)

  I just bought a refurbished HP ENVY 15.6 (DV6-7226NR), (what has not happened yet, so I don't know if I have the installation of Windows 8 media). I want to move the hard drive to a hybrid drive. Couple of questions, because I'm not the original owner, and the laptop was bought refurbished, am I allowed to reinstall Windows 8, in view of the change of material. If it is allowed, what procedure should I follow. I would be grateful some links to information I'm looking for.

  You'll have to ask the company refurbished if there is a partition on the laptop recovery.

  If there is, then you should be able to make a recovery usb flash drive to allow you to reinstall the operating system. If the recovery partition exists or not will be between you and the renovation company.

  My preferred method during the upgrade of the hard disks is to use a cloning software and a usb cable to SATA to clone the existing to the new hard drive.

• Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

  What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

  New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

  Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.

• Qosmio G20: update HARD drive internal

  My G20 has 2 60 GB HARD drive.
  I'll remove the No2 car that does not have windows for a bigger. It took me a bit to a source in the UK and I have a price of 199.99 gbp for a 120 GB drive. Does that seem reasonable for a real player Toshiba?

  Due to another disk HARD 100 GB being 99.99 gbp. I don't know what to do either would drive as good as Tosh one? Also can I turn off the computer and exchange them because in my computer both drives are called Toshiba Raid.

  I'm not clued up on Paolo etc any help or advice would be appreciated.
  Thank you

  Hello

  The price of HARD drive depends not only on the size of the HARD drive, but also on the rotation of the disk, size of buffer.
  I think that the Qosmio also supports S - ATA interface. In this case, you need a compatible SATA HARD drive.
  In the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop, you will find instruction how to remove and install the HARD drive.

  RAID uses 2 HDD. You can set it up as a mirror RAID-1 and RAID 0 stripping. When you use RAIND-1, data is stored twice so that even if there are problems with a HARD disk, the other HARD disk can be used to retrieve the data.
  The additional HARD drive capacity must be equal to or greater than the capacity of the first HARD drive. Additional if you are using RAID-1 the operating system recognizes the slightest ability to drive HARD 2.
  In this case, if you use a 60GB and a 120 GB OS recognizes it as 60 GB. The extra 60 GB of the second HARD disk cannot be used.

  But all this s information you can find in the user manual.
