What is the SATA disks SATA II a1600N support at full speed?

The specs indicate if SATA I or II, 150 MB/s ports (1.5Gbps + overhead) or 300 MB/s transfer speed (3.0 GB/s + overhead).

I need to know before I'm probably wasting money on an SSD up to 285 / 275 MB/s read/write speeds.

Thanks for any helpful info. I don't have the system here. It is up to the customer, considering the upgrade.

Hello:

After your response to Mumbodog, I'm almost afraid to post an answer to your question.  But in the interest of helping each other, I will.

No, the motherboard in this PC isn't compatible SATA II, as it is.  However, I found this post interesting on another forum that indicates on the motherboard SATA transfer speed can be forced to SATA II, because apparently the chipset can support, if you do a few mods software.

Now, I'm by far no expert. I can't do this mod will help with an SSD. I'll let you decide that.

However, the motherboard on this PC, does not support 3.0 GB/S, only 1.5 GB/S transfer speed, unless it can be modded.

    James ludovic

    James,

    There are a few things to think about here:

    • NTFS can support 256 terabytes
    • MBR disks can support 2 Terabyte drives
    • Dynamic disks are not limited to the MBR 2 Terabyte limit
    If my understanding is that if your drive is formatted in NTFS and you have a dynamic disk, Windows 2000 can support up to 256 terabytes. For more information about dynamic disks, seeworking with basic and dynamic disks.

  • What is the Scratch disk fragmentation?

    I edit TIFF image with many layers that range in size from 50 MB to 90 MB. With only 4 GB of RAM, my system relies heavily on the performance of work for these large files disk. I have a SATA HDD internal nonsystem with a volume of 80 GB dedicated as a scratch disk.

    I read that it is important that the work disk is defragmented. I also heard that Macs defragment automatically, less than 20MB files that I think not helps me a lot.

    My questions are, does Photoshop CS4 remove/delete the files on the drive to work after an editing session ends and PS is closed and then starts with a 'clean slate' when reopened? Or do all work record drop just stack upward into pieces over time, which tend to fragment the drive working? If so, should the work disk be reformatted (erased) on a regular basis? Thank you.

    Fragmentation doesn't matter much on a dedicated volume.

    "Scratch disks" tend to fragment if they are shared with other files (the operating system, data files, etc.).

    Zero access is pretty random, so defragmentation does not have a big difference.

    And if the files are deleted, the disc is not any fragmentation of talk anyway.

    Yes, scratch your files are deleted when the application terminates, or even when it crashes.  Absolute worst case, is that the OS will clean up files when the system restarts.

    So, if you have a dedicated scratch disk: don't worry about this.

    If your scratch disk is shared with the operating system and other pieces: well, if you are concerned about performance, you might want to it from time to time, defragment or buying a dedicated disk...

  • SSD in new ALX R4 installation and what makes the startup disk

    Have just ordered a new R4 ALX. Would have preferred to order a combo HDD SSD, but Dell didn't, this combo and the largest SSD they available was 512 GB.

    Thus, when the new PC arrives, I intend to install a 840 Samsung 1 TB mSATA SSD EVO (using an Icy Box 2.5 "to 3.5" HDD/SSD converter).

    YouTube has a video showing how:

    "Alienware Aurora ALX R4 - installation of an SSD.

    So, how can I make the SSD the startup disk and the backup HARD drive?

    Re-install the operating system? Can I clone on the SSD HARD drive, then change the boot order? Something else?

    For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

  • What is the phone number for Photoshop CC support

    I'm having a terrible experience with the last Photoshop (CC 2014).  Constant of flickering screen (even after the Intel HD 3000 graphics driver update).

    Have been in the forum before Adobe and nobody seems to know what is the problem - each blaming the other (personal Photoshop blame Windows 8 bug to say it must be a problem with the Intel driver).

    I'm under Intel Core processor i5 with 8 GB of RAM and Windows 8.

    I have no intend to sign up for a year with Creative Cloud contract, until I can contact Adobe by phone to solve this problem and actually speak to a person in real life.

    Yet nowhere on the HELP of Photoshop section leads to a phone number.

    Would appreciate any phone number that anyone who leads actually to talk to someone at Adobe

  • Tecra R850 - sometimes the OS stuclocks-up, fans to spin at full speed

    I had a R850 and complete random blocks of the laptop. When it crashes the fans start to run at full speed and windows is locked. I need to turn off the laptop and start over.

    This can happen three times at a party, but it can also occur only those per week.

    Its complete random.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell exactly what is happening.
    Each new laptop comes with preinstalled OS own and something like that should not happen. Later, when you start to install the updates or applications, it can happen that a background application blocking system.

    In my opinion you should check the preinstalled stuff, processes running in the background to see who can be responsible for this, either you need to reinstall the recovery image and check how it works with the factory settings.

    I searched here and on line and found no explanation for what's on the 'content' disc disc 4, which has its own place. I looked at the disk and I don't see graphic files or whatever it is to give an indication, or that I could find all Readme files that explain what's on the disc. I really want to install a bunch of stuff I can not want or do not want. Can someone please list what comes on this disc or what features are added to Premiere Elements with the installation of the 4 disc?  Thank you.

  • WHAT IS THE BEST DISK CLEANER FOR A MIDDLE-2O12 MACBOOK PRO?

    I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch (OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.2). Up to 8 GB of memory, I improved last month. The processor is Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz. It has a 500 GB hard drive and I have about 417 GB of free space available.

    I would like to know which disk cleaner would be the best for me to use? I read on CleanMyDrive 2 and I want to know if it is really as good for Macs as they say it is.

    None. Your Mac runs the maintenance in the background for you. The so-called Mac utility for cleaning can cause more harm than good on a Mac. Avoid them.

  • PowerEdge r.620: What is the HARD disk preinstalled?

    Hello

    Our new PowerEdge R620 comes with a 1 to drive, which has a "OEM", size 39 MB partition, and a partition of 2 GB empty labeled "OS".

    What is in the OEM partition? Should we save it before you install the OS? I couldn't find this in the documentation for manual or other owner.

    I want to install VMware ESXi. The installation program detects something on the disc and asks if it's ok to delete it...

    A related question - where is stored the iDRAC and all the GUI setup cute stuff?

    Any advice?

    -ddbug

    IDRAC, the lifecycle controller and BIOS GUI are stored on the motherboard not on the discs. The OEM partition stores the system diagnostics, it is recommended to not delete it, but it won't work without it.

  • What is the large hard drive Satellite A30 supports

    Satellite A30-514 P4 2.8 GHz/WXP HE/512 MB / 30 GB/15TFT/DVD-CD-RW. I have the latest bios update and only I can see downloads for this machine. I have a 30 GB drive. I look at the model 100 GB or 80 GB. This model supports these formats. Some of these new hitachi drives have also a ata supplys data cable and power. Someone know if this laptop supports this connection or are these two cables. As I have yet a glance. Any advice on what type of player to use will be much appreciated.

    Hi Mike,.

    I have a 80 GB hard drive in my A30 at the moment. You will need a player with similar physical dimensions as your drive existing. Cables are not a problem because the drive on the A30 is connected directly to a connector under the optical drive (this should be removed first to access the hard drive.

    An appropriate drive would be the MK8025GAS but you could also take the option to use a car with a higher rotation speed. The original drive is 4200 RPM and I am currently using a version of 5400 RPM in my A30. There is a little extra heat, but this is really noticeable during heavy disk activity (anti-virus, Defrag, backup, etc.).
