• Hard drive or SATA connector?

  A few days ago I received the dreaded stop sign on the start screen, fearing that my hard drive has failed Finally I quickly bought a compatible. The next day, my drive hard original was 'work' again, slowly but surely she came back to life. Happened to my new hard drive, I decided it was time for an upgrade anyway. I created a bootable usb key, and with my new hard drive (1 TB of seagate Alpha) connected internally, I was ready to breathe new life into my old mac. As I was formatting the seagate OSX journaled with GUID I kept getting installation errors, and disk errors. After several attempts, I decided to give up. I then connected the seagate through a SATA to a USB (external) and voila! He was able to put in the form of OS X journaled with GUID card (it means the drive is well?). So, I have connected the seagate in-house and represented the boot drive. Everything was successful until the very last moment, where I got the dreaded

  "OSX could not be installed on your computer file system check or repair a failure. Quit Setup or restart your computer and try again.

  So I tried again and the results were the same.

  What continues? Is there a problem with the seagate or is it an internal problem with the connections?

  Both are pretty easy to fix the parts are readily available, or it could be something else?

  Ask if you need more details, I believe that it is a fairly common problem.

  I forgot to take pictures of all the error screens as well

  Thank you

  Hi Yangw29:

  You said that your new work drive connected to your computer through SATA to a USB cable.

  Try it will be your old hard drive.

  Remove it from the computer and connect it via SATA to a USB cable.

  To test if the problem is your hard disk or the SATA cable:

  You can remove your Mac hard drive and install in case external OWC external box or by using a USB to SATA adapter SATA USB adapter and connect it to your MBP via USB. And then try to boot from by using the Boot Manager. This will help determine if your hard drive or SATA cable are at fault. If she starts the MBP, will very probably be the problem the SATA cable drive needs to be replaced.

  Start from the disc using the Boot Manager: How to choose a disk to boot your Mac.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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.

  Thank you.

• 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).
