Updates for the SSD of 32 GB LITEON m2 on a special edition of Dell XPS-8900.

Has anyone successfully upgraded Cache SSD m2 on their system XPS-8900?

I have a Dell XPS-8900 that I bought a few months ago, and you want to update the cache of hard drive SSD m2.  The system has 2 to 7200 RPM hard drive + Cache SSD of 32 GB m2, 16 GB of memory (which I'm upgrading to 32 GB) and the processor i7 - 6700 k.

I tried to replace it with either the Samsung 850 EVO m2 250 GB SSD or the Samsung 950 PRO NVMe 256 GB SSD.  I read in another post on the forum that the limit for XPS-8900 in the m2 slot was 256 GB.  Anyone know if this is correct?

If anyone has any ideas on how I can change my system to tighten a bit more performance out of my system, I'd greatly appreciate your ideas.  It seems a little slow at startup and loading applications than I expected.

It is not necessary to install a larger disk for use as a cache - it won't do much (if any) for performance.  There is a valid argument by replacing the disk cache with an SSD of larger m2 and then by installing the operating system on this drive (that is, running in native mode of SSD).  That WILL stimulate the acceptable performance.

I doubt that there is a limit on the capacity of the drive - but there is no doubt about the physical size of the map itself.  Note that this system is NOT wired with an interface of PCIe 4 ways - then install a player is not worth the extra cost, because it will be limited by the design of the motherboard.

  • Update hard disc on the special edition of Dell XPS-8900

    Hello, I have a Dell XPS-8900 that I bought a few months ago, and you want to upgrade the hard drive.  There to 2, 7200 RPM hard drive + Cache SSD of 32 GB m2.  I noticed by looking at the disk management, it has 2 free sheet music; a 39 MB OEM Partition and 11.73 GB recovery Partition.  Both show that they are 100% free.  I created the recovery USB disk and it deleted the recovery Partition files.

    Should I still have the Partition recovery or the OEM Partition?  When I switch to a new hard drive, is it possible to simply copy the partition of the OS?

    Also, I thought that he would have an EFI System Partition.  Is that what I need or installation?

    UEFI allows secure and start for 2 t boot partitions format: those are the two major differences, as well as the withdrawal of the restriction to have four primary partitions per disk.  Those who are not important here.

    I don't think that there is a capacity limit on the m2 in height slot, but there is most likely a limitation of the physical size of the map itself which may restrict your ability.

    You will get the best performance from the system running the operating system for one SSD drive for some.  You can easily find 2.5 "SATA SSD affordable up to 1 t in size now.  Drives 2.5 "tend to be less expensive than m2 format disks, although NVMe readers (whose prices are in the stratosphere), they are largely very reasonable in price for the exception.

    I would not necessarily fear disks 3.5 "Toshiba - these are in large part the designs of Hitachi/HGST (Toshiba entered the market of disk 3,5 '' when WD resumed HGST - the Chinese Government opposed the consolidation to two manufacturers of records based in the United States and forced to WD to spin off plants making the disks 3.5" to Toshiba).  The HGST designs have a good reputation for reliability - much better than those of Seagate, for sure.

    You are probably better off with a straight on the clone of the drive.  You can use the Windows Disk Administrator to change the partitions later.  I had the good luck of late with Macrium Reflect (free), but Acronis image works well - and Samsung provides a free version of it if you choose one of their SSDS.

  • MacBookPro successfully updated for the SSD but old disk HARD not accessible as external drive

    OK people,

    Successfully, I upgraded my MBP late 2012 to 1 TB SSD with the help of the community here. Thank you.

    My old drive was an 8.1 El Capitan\Win Bootcamp and worked pretty well without fault.

    I used the disk utility to clone the OSX partition and did a fresh install of Win10 through BootCamp.

    So far so good.

    However, my plan was gradually transfer the files from the old partition Win 8.1 in the score of Win10 that I need them.

    That is the problem. Win10 OS or my OSX recognize the old Win8.1 HARD disk partition. However, they both recognize the old OSX partition.

    The two operating systems (OSX\Win10) was format\Initialise the old HDD when connected through a USB enclosure.

    As a test, I swapped the old disk to the MBP and it started actual Win8.1 therefore the partition is accessible. Actually I'm in it starts now as I type this message.

    Watch Windows Disk Manager partition as a RAW rather than NTFS where the desire to get in shape. I am reluctant to start playing with partitioning\recovery tools because I can access the drive while having to open the MBP, but it is accessible.

    Is there a reason why the original HARD drive is not accessible as a normal external drive?

    ATM my only option I'm looking at is a copy of right of ALL files in the Windows 8.1 on another disk partition so that I can easily access the files.

    Ideas or suggestions appreciated.

    Try ejecting the disc (use disk utility), reboot and reconnect the drive.

  • Excite the situation of update for the AT10LE - A-> Pro

    Hello

    I was wondering about the status of update for the Toshiba excited Pro.

    _Specifically: _

    -It's going to be an Android 4.3 or 4.4 update? After all, it's a tablet of the premium segment, and I expect the usual level of support. Another manufacturer usually release one or two updates.

    -is yet to come miracast? He promised during the liberation, but then he got the silent about it.

    -the problem of thermal regulation has finally been resolved? Again, this is not rocket science, other manufacturers seem to be able to produce pills that work without overheating.

    -It will never be a way to root it or unlock the bootloader?

    I'm sorry if this seems critical, but given the reviews I had read, I think that these issues are very relevant.

    Updates for both devices excite Pro 3 G and WiFi were released last week.

    Excite Pro AT10LE - A WiFi-> update V4.3.001120220.05
    Excite Pro 3G AT10LE - A-> update V4.3.201121220.35

  • Request concerning the sequence of updates for the Windows Update client in 2015

    I posted a query similar to this on a Microsoft Technet forum, but I have not yet received a response to the specific question that I asked.  I'm trying so this forum.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, but I did not intend to accept the free update of Windows 10.  I don't use automatic updates.  I use Windows Update manually and select the updates to install, even for these updates identified as Important.

    Since April 2015, there was a sequence of updates for the client Windows Update on Windows 7 (Windows 8).  I have the Windows 7 of those below list:

    KB2990214 (April 2015)

    KB3050265 (June 2015)

    KB3065987 (July 2015)

    KB3075851 (August 2015)

    KB3083324 (September 2015)

    KB3083710 (October 2015)

    KB3102810 (November 2015)

    KB3112343 (December 2015)

    (This list is probably less intimidating than it looks because the replaced October update Update September, which replaced the August update, which replaced the July update, which replaced the June updated.  "There are therefore basically just 4 updates.)

    The big question is, given that Windows 7 is available for several years, why, all of a sudden, there was this sequence of updates for the Windows Update client?  Because these updates began to occur at the time when the offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10 was announced, I could be forgiven for thinking that all of these updates are really directed towards the relaxation of the upgrade to Windows 10 via Windows Update, and that there is little or no advantage to systems that are not upgrading.  I am mistaken in this belief?  If not, precisely those who will benefit from my system, even if it is not upgraded to Windows 10?

    The updates that I currently installed, depending on the installed updates, are KB2990214 (April 2015), KB3075851 (August 2015), KB3083324 (September 2015) and KB3083710 (October 2015).

    In my view, there was a lack of transparency in the descriptions of these updates in the KB articles.  And, in one or two cases, information on the importance of an update in the article and in Windows Update has been inconsistent.  It would have been much clearer if each KB article stated for NOT upgrading to Windows 10 systems, if the update to the Windows Update client is important, as an option or completely irrelevant.
