• Intel X 25 - M Solid - State Drive (SSD) does not start on T60

  Hi all-

  I finally made the plunge and acquired a X 25 - m Solid State drive (SSD) of Intel. I spent a large part of the trial yesterday so he could boot on my T60 with no luck. My first attempt was to clone the current drive in the X 25 - M, but I got a slider to underscore flashing in the upper left corner of a black screen just after the start screen of ThinkPad and before Windows even tried to load.

  Like others here, I suspected there could be a problem with the cloning of a disc (although it worked well with other mechanical discs), so I cloned the SSD to the original drive, and the original drive worked fine. Which excluded the cloning process.

  I then tried to boot from the SSD drive by plugging in a USB drive enclosure. Using this method, I had at least the Windows splash screen, but I got a blue screen after that. Yet, it is better that connect directly into the drive, it suggests that it is SATA or the original of the problem BIOS interface.

  I then took the SSD and installed in a desktop machine and have a fresh XP installed on this PC. I'm finally at least to see how fast an Intel SSD's, and I was absolutely stunned. I have never had a "snappier" desktop computer I never realized how big of a hard drive bottleneck is even on a desktop machine. Wow! If I could get this improved performance on my T60, I would be very happy.

  After getting the player running on the desktop, I jumped it in the T60 just to see if she would get at least at the starting Windows screen. No luck-just the cursor flashing again.

  AHCI is disabled in the BIOS and the disc is displayed correctly in the BIOS. I installed the latest version of the BIOS (2.23).

  Someone at - it any other ideas?

  BTW, Lenovo people, I'm just down the street from your part of RTP, and I'd be happy to abandon if an engineer wants to try a BIOS fix or something like that. I guess that there may not have much SSD Intel floating around the office.

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514 - could not initialize Solid State Drive (SSD)

  I have a Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514.

  Recently I bought a SATA II 64 GB SSD to replace hard drive current cavalry. I first tried to install XP with SATA drivers rationalized in.
  The installation process recognized the SSD and has the original file copied to it, but when it restarted to continue the installation process the system wouldn't boot from the drive.

  Then I tried to install Vista Business 64 from the recovery disk came with the laptop.
  After launching the recovery disc, the said installation process the hard drive has not been initialized and click OK to initialize now.
  After clicking OK to initialize the system not restarted that at the end pointing upwards on the screen telling me to initialize the hard disk.

  Then I tried initializing the disk manually on my desk.
  Plugged into my office, initialized and formatted in NTFS. Plugged into the laptop to retry recovery Vista. And once again the same screen appears. Reconnect the disk SSD the Office to see that the player has is more initialized and was to be initialized again.

  Then I gave up and installed the SSD on my desktop under master boot and installed perfectly fine with XP. For testing purposes I then handed the ssd with XP pre-installed in the cell to see what happens. To my dismay the computer laptop would not boot and on top of that when I put the SSD drive in the desktop only to see that the drive has been initialized is no longer and I had to reinstall XP again.

  Conclusion:
  It seems that the Satellite Pro S300 series is not easy SSD and just post it self off Initialise the Solid State Drives.
  This seems to be the logical conclusion that the SSDS works perfectly well on my desktop and the laptop is fine now with the old turntable hard back in.

  Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?
  I would still put the SSD in my laptop to save energy.

  Hello

  The laptop is equipped with common serial ATA HDD.
  The SSD might work, but is not a must.

  There are several different SSD on the market and a problem of compatibility of equipment can always happen.
  Maybe an other SSD would work properly, but these are just suggestions.

• Editing a file to remove confidential data from a solid state drive (ssd)?

  I understand that El Capitan has removed the option "Secure Empty trash" because of hard drives (ssd) state how strong. So, I try to understand how I can work around it.

  Let's say I have a Pages or Word file with a list of names that should be kept confidential, and I want this file to the trash.

  What happens if I change the file to remove these names? Removing ssd data? Can I trash then the file as usual without worrying about confidential data remaining on the ssd?

  Or what should I do if I replaced the confidential names with something? For example, if I was John Doe on the list, what happens if I change to be John xyz? XYZ crash Doe on the ssd?

  No it doesn't, use FileVault to encrypt the contents of the disc.

• Impossible to update firmware or to TRIM on Solid State Drive

  I installed an SSD of 530 Intel via the SATA port on my Dell Dimension 8300 and downloaded the Intel Toolbox. He tells me that my system is in IDE mode, and so I can't update the firmware. Without an update, I can't run the TRIM function. I have the version of the BIOS A03 and I can't find a switch for IDE/AHCI mode. Can anyone help? DM

  There is a BIOS A07 you can try, but this system is about ten years and was one of the first systems to support SATA.  Many of them were built with SATA to IDE bridges, which means that they are not capable of real operation SATA AHCI - if this option is not there in A07, this means that your system cannot run in real mode SATA because of the architecture of bridge.

  Windows 7 and upwards is no need for TRIM - only XP and do it earlier, so if you don't have XP, it's yet another reason to get rid of it and upgrade (the other is support for XP ended on April 9, 2014, so there will be new updates of security for her).

• Solid State Drive SSD how to store the user accounts on secondary drive

  I installed windows on a SSD and I want to use a secondary drive for all my data. How to configure windows (explorer) to do this? Thank you, DM.

  Move the users directory and directory ProgramData on one drive other than the drive that contains the Windows directory Warning Using the ProgramData parameter to redirect folders to one drive other than the system volume will block your ability to upgrade to later versions of Windows.

  By changing the location by default of the user profile directories or folders of program data to one volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your Windows installation. Impossible to apply updates, patches or service packs to install. We recommend that you do not change the location of the user profile directories or files from program data.

• Solid State Drives (SSDs) on the ESX host

  We lack the HP Proliant DL380 G5 servers, and I wonder if anyone has any experience with the help of SSD on their ESX hosts.  In particular, we are looking for disks SAS 2.5 ".

  The SSD would contain the ESX installation only... all the virtual machines and related storage resides on a San.

  Since most of the e/s on an ESX host is (based on my somewhat limited experience) for most of the readings, with strange writing (for newspapers and others), an SSD would make sense for me as something that not fail anytime soon due to too many Scriptures in a sector.

  And as they get bigger, I'm starting to wonder if they have an option of reliable hardware / bearable.

  We have them in our IBM blades and I believe they are Intel SLC. Works well.

• Solid State Drive (SSD) for notebook 1160us dm4, a SATA II or SATAIII?

  I would go to an SSD and I was wondering if this laptop supports SATA III or 6 GB/s transfer rate. The HARD disk that is in a Seagate ST9500420AS ATA and research shows that he has a transfer rate of 3 gb/s. I don't know if I should buy an SSD is 6 GB/s or 3 Gbps. don't know if the motherboard supports (SATAIII / 6 GB/s)?

  Thoughts? Someone has upgraded to SSD s. Also, how / what did you use to transfer the old drive or you just reinstall Windows 7?

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. most likely, it is a SATA II controller. You can use the following program to check:

  FTP://FTP.CPUID.com/PC-Wizard/PC-wizard_2012.2.11.zip

  

  (In my case, the controller is a SATA III).

  2. I normally have "clone" of the HARD drive, this will save a lot of time to reinstall many things. I use a product called O & O DiskImage to perform this work, very fast and the success rate of 100%. A small note: you need a larger SSD (capacity) than the drive that you want to clone - normally C:. You can try this free product:

  http://www.EASEUS.com/disk-copy/

  Some SSD vendors also provide a product of cloning for you to do this work.

  Kind regards.

  Any particular SSD that you would recommend?

  Hello almac7, it seems that your system must be able to withstand a SSD hard drive. You may need an adapter to install the player in a Bay 3.5 inches.

  Given that the SSD is a new parent and the ever-evolving technology, it would be difficult to recommend one disc rather than another.

  They all seem to have their positive and negative characteristics.

  You also need Windows 7 as operating system, with the support of the Trim function now on most of the SSDS.

  Here is a link for the specifications of your system. It shows that there are six sata (ports) for readers. It also shows that the system was delivered with two 500 GB hard drives. These discs can be in a Raid0 configuration. You will need to reconnect these drives to other ports, and then connect the SSD to port0.

  I have search for comparisons of different brands and models and determine what brand and model, and price range would be tailored to your needs.

• 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. Is this easier to do than to to replace a HDD with a SSD? I hope I can do it myself.

  My 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. The SSD originally came with the computer and not a subsequent update. I understand that a SSD replacing a HARD drive is quite complex, but would be more simple replacement of a dead with a new SSD SSD? I hope I could make myself.

  Even as the replacement of a HARD drive. However, go to OWC buy the connector of the special drive that has the necessary temperature control that is not part of the SSD, because it is for the stock of HARD drive.

• Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive works only with the MacBook Pro - Solution?

  I recently bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB Solid State Drive for mid 2012 MacBook Pro father. The computer was working properly, but it was just very slow. I took the old drive and installed the SSD. I took it to an Apple store so that they could install the OS. A guy at the Genius Bar met with me and first tried to install the OS via the Ethernet cable. It is impossible to install some general error. He then tried to install it on a disc. Which also failed. He said he was not familiar with the type of error that he saw. But he said it was a mistake 'bad '. He said he saw the SSD for my SATA cable worked. He concluded that the reader must be defective. I explained how it is virtually impossible because they have a rate of close to zero. He said: "well they are produced en masse" and explained how they could install a hard drive themselves for some too expensive price. A bit annoying.

  In any case, I took the SSD back to my house and threw it in my desktop PC. It works very well. Then what should I do? Why am I not able to get the SSD to install it? From what I read, the Samsung 850 EVO should be compatible with a MacBook Pro 2012. Can I do to install it at home? Is that all I can say people at the Mac store to help them along?

  Most likely, the drive is formatted for use with Windows computers. First step would be to format correctly for Macs.

  This is Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition map.

  OS X will only be installed on a properly formatted disk.

• Installation of Vista/Windows 7 on a Solid State Drive

  My HP all-in-one office had installed Vista and I have upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium, when it first came out. I will change to a new Solid State Drive. I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 on SSD.  Do I have TO install my Vista backup and then install the upgrade to 7 or can I use the 7 upgrade disc?  I know that I can use the software of duplication to transfer my OS but I don't want to transfer errors in registry etc.  I'll come back to the top of all my photos, music, etc. on an external drive until I'm ready to add to the EHR.     Thank you

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Solid State Drive

  Hello

  I have a HP 15 t-n200 (Pavilion TouchSmart 15 t), not product. F4W68AV.

  This laptop can be upgraded to use an internal Solid State Disk drive?

  In addition, by examining the characteristics of this laptop, it does not specify the interface hard disk other than SATA 300 MB/s transfer rates.  Anyone know if it is SATA I, SATA II, SATA III, mSATA or...?  I find the specifications in the service manual to be a little less useful since the maintenance manual usually cover a wide range of products, and I have a wire deterimining trouble just what hardware is inside of me.

  For example, in the case of the drive hard, my original Bill said I have a 750 GB 5400 RPM hard drive.   The repair of the lists at least two possibilities that fit this description, namely p/n 634250-005 (750 GB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm) and 732001-005 (750 GB 5400 RPM + 8 GB NAND hybrid, 9.5 mm, for use with computer models equipped with Intel processors).  Now my TouchSmart has a 4th Gen processor Intel i5-4200U.  So does that mean I have a p/n 732001-005?  How can I be sure?  By reading the manual, the hard drive is not accessible AFAIK, so how in the world you will find what you really inside?

  Thank you.

  Please see your order confirmation, duplicate customer, or invoices for the exact specifications of your computer. According to the HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide for your computer, this model supports the following:

  6.35 cm (2.5 in.) of hard drives in 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in) (all hard drives use the same bracket)
  Customer-accessible
  Serial ATA (should be SATAIII, which is compatible with SATAII)
  Protection accelerometer support

  Supports the following drives:
  1 TB 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm

  750 GB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm
  500 GB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm
  (Supports the SSD mSATA 24GO with system memory up to 8 GB (for use with models to select a computer with Intel processors and discrete graphics switchable))
  Supports the following hybrid readers:
  1 TB 5400 RPM, + 8 GB NAND hybrid drive HARD; 9.5 mm
  750 GB, 5400 RPM, + 8 GB NAND hybrid drive HARD; 9.5 mm
  500 GB, 5400 RPM, + 8 GB NAND hybrid drive HARD; 7 mm

  The supported above list is not exhaustive and is typically what HP moved to the factory. Assuming that your Bill lists the 750 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, it's not going to be the 750 GB, 5400 RPM, hybrid HARD drive because there is no indication whether the hybrid. Your computer will also support most hard SATAIII after-market, hybrid hard drives and SSD drives (solid state drives).

  Removal instructions / replacing the hard drive begins on page #63 of the HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide. These are very detailed instructions and require the dismantling of many components.

  Don't know how much it costs but I suspect you can get a much cheaper SSD. Also, I would say that you can use any 3.5-inch bolt adapter 2.5 in this with the SSD in the sled used originally for the larger HARD drive and place the data and power on the SSD SATA ports to the outside, you can connect the wires from inside the computer for them.
