Why is it so slow on Satellite A300 PSAG8E SSD

Hi, guys

Please help me with the following question. I would like an admin to help me please, or someone very experienced, if possible.

2 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite A300 PSAG8E. A couple of months before the purchase of this laptop, I had also bought a disc SSD OCZ 64 GB core series v2. I tried several times to install the SSD drive on the laptop, but the answer during the installation of windows and after that when using, the reader response is very, very slowly. It is still slower than with its original 250 GB drive. I compared the SSD with SISOFT SANDRA and confirmed my impression.

The SSD was assessed at 5400 RPM, strangely the same speed as the original HD 250 GB supplied with the machine.
I've used different windows CD (including one with SP3) and earlier with SP2, the two original windows, but nothing has changed. I then installed my SSD on my desktop computer and installation and use in the windows environment, is incredibly fast. I put it on the laptop and it's still very, very slowly.

What is going on? Do you have any suggestions? Y at - it a bug using the SSD on my model?
Y at - it a firmware update?
I think it has something to do with the transfer rate of the laptop. Can you help me please?
What can I do?

Kind regards

Hello

May I ask how you installed the Windows XP operating system on this new SSD?

As suggested above the SATA drivers must be installed or included in the Win XP operating system.
The SATA drivers are located in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
The package contains the necessary drivers and theses drivers allow you to use the full capacity of SATA controller.
Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the page of Toshiba and Intel page.

By the way; It seems that the OCZ 64 GB SSD supports SATA II but I m quote do not know if your A300 supports SATA II or SATA only.
If it supports only SATA, then this might be the reason why your SSD does not work with the best performance.

Good bye

  • Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

    Hello and good day,

    I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

    My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

    Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

    Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Added Vista tips:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

    > 1. My drive HARD light flashes even when I do nothing (flashes every half second or more)
    Even if you n touch cell phone t, the disk is running and different applications, access data. Applications and processes that are running in the background cause this blinking. Notes; This isn't a problem!

    > 2. When I go somewhere, my screen turns off and when I move my screen mouse lights up but nothing happens. Everything stands still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes) and it is ready to operate.
    Disable the support by modem and disable the settings turn off the screen while the laptop is not in use. This is possible in the Windows 7 power management.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG8E does not load

    I have a Toshiba Satalite A300 PSAG8E, which does not load.
    I was given a few days ago by a person stating that he is not working or light - vague details.

    At the reception that he turned on, asked to start windows normally or not, then started absolutely perfect, it powered by the charger, no problem.

    I let him on during some time different tasks.
    I came to him a few days later to find that he had himself set to off.

    I enabled again, how he asked to start windows normally or not. I started normally, and it came on the property.
    Since then I could not to power it on the sector.

    Why not load it now?

    Hi mate

    > Since I could not to power it on the sector.
    > Why didn't he care now?

    I m a bit but confused. What's wrong now? You are not able to feed the device or battery is not charging?

    If you are not able to turn on the unit, then you should try this:
    -Disconnect the battery and AC adapter
    -wait a while (2-3 hours)
    -connect the two parties to laptop and check again

    If your battery does not load:
    Try to update the BIOS and set its default value
    If that does not help, then the battery should be checked
    If the new battery does not solve the problem, then the motherboard must be checked and replaced if necessary.

  • Satellite A300 - Graphics Driver update needed

    Hello

    I am writing this hoping someone from Toshiba will be able to help me to find and update for laptop Satellite A300, short model: PSAJ4E.
    I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on another partition.

    I noticed I was encountering problems more often because of the graphics card is not not to date.
    I am looking for an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3650 series.
    I checked the AMD for and to update, but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates. They had however an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series in December 2010, but the following comment wrote:

    Following books are not compatible with this version: *.

    All laptops launched after this version of the driver
    Portable computers compatible switchable graphics card using Intel® chipsets.
    * _Toshiba® portable (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these books) _ *.

    This comment is in the following link: [AMD | http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ReleaseNotes.aspx]

    And before someone sent it to me in the updated drivers from Toshiba on the following link: [Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 781 & selSho rtMod = 697 & language = 13 & selOS = 30 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 68813 & DISO = 30 & driverLanguage = 42]

    I checked and the update on the Toshiba site is the previous update... it has the * version 8.634.1 * and AMD is at version * _8.801_* with their AMD Catalyst 10.12 software suite.

    I know laptops are not updates as much as a normal desktop pc, but it would be nice to receive updates that came out for the products that we bought.

    If possible could someone direct me, so that I can get the driver for Windows and Ubuntu?

    Kind regards

    Well buddy. You mad a big mistake, you must have created the first recovery disc before you changed or deleted something from the disc.

    I put t know whether you will be able to use the option of HARD drive recovery, but try to press F8 key immediately after you have switched on the laptop.
    Usually, the menu should appear and you should choose the first option called repair my computer and then Toshiba recovery.

    Hello

    Yesterday, I installed Win7 on my Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and I'm very happy with it.
    You're right about the pilots, but it is not so difficult as you think. All things missing can be installed for Vista.

    Here is a brief overview of what I did to have perfectly working Win7:

    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works fine, but some drivers are missing.
    So I added some Vista stuff:
    -toshiba assist - works
    -card reader - installed correctly
    -webcam driver for A500 (wanted to have the latest version) - tested with Skype - works
    -pilot of the Alps - all ok, but no additional options for touchpad

    I hope this will help you.
    If you have any other questions let me know.

  • Slow start up and close on Satellite A300 - 10 M

    Received my new yesterday, laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 10 M with the 15 "screen and I got to the dealer today!

    I tried, some of you may laugh, but after you restore to factory State 3 times, Windows Vista still has 6 minutes to stop and start altogether on this machine, it would normally be the load with the scrolly thing windows is going from left to right, then before he said welcome he would say "Please wait" then he might take a break for about 5 to 6 minutes! Then it says welcome and place comes your office as usual, no problem at all, once the machine was fully loaded.
    I m confused as to why is was so slow because it has 4 GB of RAM

    My laptop sisters from another manufacturing starts and stops in 90 seconds!
    It has only 3 GB of RAM and exactly the same speed processor!

    Experts have no idea why?
    I m gutted because Toshiba had amazing speakers and sound, other manufacture is still good, but not the case in the same league as the Toshiba, sound quality, if it has a 17 "screen, so swings and roundabouts, I guess?
    I removed all the programs and free trials of each of the machines above, I have stuff wouldn t use, I even removed stuff to load at startup using msconfig.

    I called Toshiba and the guy on the phone said that Vista on different machines may differ when loading and closing times, it wasn t any help at all!

    If anyone else here has a Toshiba Satellite computer, you can see how long you must close and restart?

    I would be grateful to know if it was my machine, wasn t prepared to risk to get an exact model and it still take 8 minutes again!
    So far I have always very angry that I now have a machine that does not work properly and is a joke in his time of loading m.
