• Satellite R830 - support Sata III for SSD drives

  Hello

  Why Toshiba Satellite R830 does not support Sata III, although the plug to motherboard. indicate that it is possible?

  So you can not significantly increase the performance of your laptop by replacing the HARD drive with disk SSD Sata III. Is it possible to activate the Sata III (6 Mbps) on R830?

  All the system settings? It's also kind of bios update request necessary support SSD and SATA III...

  Any help is appreciated! :)

  > It shows that SATA III is supported, but when you install the SSD SATA III disc it does not work with higher speeds to ~ 250 MB/s (cases Crucial M4).

  From my own experience many SSD readers need a updated firmware that is provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

  But readers in the R830 SSD seems to support these specifications:
  Host interface: Max 300 MB/s
  Reading data supported: Max 250 MB/s
  Writing data supported: Max 160 MB/s

  By the way: the R830 supports a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset and the chipset supports the storage interface high speed supports up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to 6 SATA ports, 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports support 6 Gb/s transfer rate.

• Portege Z830-10N - SSD drive formatting / wiping

  Hello

  What is the best way to wipe the SSD in this laptop.
  Religiously I used always erase HARD drive to factory reset/wipe SSD drives.
  The reason is that it becomes the player running "like new".

  I was always told never to format these disks using a windows disc.
  Erasing the HARD drive does not work in AHCI mode and you cannot change the SATA mode in the BIOS version :(

  Is there a tool I can use to secure erase this player in this laptop?
  If so what and where can I find it please?

  Otherwise any1 know of any clever way of getting this deleted drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I always told me never to format these disks using a windows disc.
  Why?
  I put t see why the SSD doesn't have to be formatted before you start the installation of the OS.
  I did it several times on my laptop where the HARD drive has been replaced with SSD drive.

  During the installation of the system, you will be asked if you want to format the HDD/SSD to erase / format or create new partitions. You can do it if you want

• Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

  Hello

  I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
  The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

  We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

  Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
  Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
  Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

  There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

  > Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

  I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
  You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

• Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal

  My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.

  I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.

  The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.

  I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
  Could you give me a link for such adapter?

  The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).

  There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
  The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.

  In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
  This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profile

  I'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available

• My 10.2 final cut does not recognize my Lexar 512 ssd drive which is formatted for Mac Os journaled and completely empty

  My FCPX 10.2 does not recognize my Lexar 512 ssd drive,
  who is formatted for Mac Os journaled and completely empty (already formatted),
  He comes to see my ssd as an SD card once I click an import media.

  I had once FCPX 10.0.8 and with which I was able to edit with my external Lexar 512 GB SSD drive,
  that was seen as a normal external hard drive with all my projects and events.

  I'm not using Time Machine, never used.

  Any thoughts, why can't you do more?

• Best external SSD drive?

  Looking for a new external SSD drive. What are some of the best out there for the money?  Really need 1 TB or more.

  Thank you!

  The fastest and most effective will be a PCIe SSD installed in an enclosed.  Understand that serves as an external SSD, speed may be limited by the connection in use and you can not achieve the performance that the SSD is capable of.  The fastest connection to date is Thunderbolt2, which may or may not be fast enough (I just don't know).

• Run Windows 10 from an external SSD drive? Yes, it works!

  That's what I did to make it work. The whole process takes about 45 minutes, but I think that it really is worth it if you want to run quick and clean Windows 10 on your iMac.

  What you need:

  • An SSD external - data is deleted
  • An iMac 27 "(end of 2013 in my case)

  Temporarily, for the installation, you will also need:

  • A computer with Windows 7, 8 or 10 to copy the correct files on the SSD drive and make it bootable
  • A computer running with OS X download BootCamp
  • A USB - data is erased

  First, in Windows, you get a file ISO for Windows 10. You can use the media to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 authoring tool and choose to save it as ISO file (do not create a USB bootable media).

  1. Double-click on the. ISO file. This will mount the disk to install on a disk (in my case, the letter E).
  2. Connect the SSD drive to a free USB port
  3. Open an administrator command prompt and type:
     1. DiskPart
     2. list disk (to identify your external SSD drive number)
     3. select disk 2 (or another number to your external SSD drive, make sure you do not erase your internal drive, usually on 0).
     4. clean - be careful, if you have selected the wrong disc, erase all the data on it
     5. create part pri
     6. Quick format
     7. assign letter = O (or another letter if already used)
     8. assets
     9. output
     10. DISM/apply-image /imagefile:"E:\sources\install.esd" / index: 1 /ApplyDir:Y:------(change E to another letter for the ISO file mounted)
     11. BCDBOOT. EXE Y:\WINDOWS/s Y:/f BIOS (so that the boot in the BIOS only drive (not EFI))
     12. output
     13. Eject all disks properly or simply shut down your PC.

  Then on your Mac, open the wizard BootCamp (click on Launchpad and type "bootcamp" to find) and check ONLY "download the latest software of Apple's Windows support. Save it on your USB thumb drive. Stop your iMac. Remove the USB key and keep it in your hand.

  Turn on your iMac by pressing the option (alt) key. You will see an orange icon with Windows. Select this option and wait until you see 'Getting ready devices', wait a little longer until you hear the startup chime and press the option (alt) key to make sure that start you on the external hard drive. That's all!

  Now you have a copy of Windows from your external USB drive. You just need to install the BootCamp drivers on your USB (\Bootcamp\Setup.exe). Reset.

  Oh, you have 10 Windows running natively on your beautiful iMac.

  Enjoy!

  The answer is in the response. I don't know how to post a tip!

• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• How to move iTunes to support SSD drive on secondary disk files

  Hello

  I think the title pretty much everything said. My SSD drive app fills and although I have three drives in my desktop Mac PRO somehow the artwork & mobile apps are like 20 gigs. The music files are in a secondary drive. What is the best way to move all the files to support the HUGE secondary disk so I don't understand all of a sudden the dreaded exclamation point?

  Thank you

  Enio

  10.11.4 running

  In essence, you must keep the support files in the folder as the iTunes music files, then let iTunes knows where they are located.

  It is better than the iTunes folder everything will be moved to the external drive, not just the music and media files. The link below is instructions on how to do it properly. You "partially" here, but you should still be able to follow them, to make the move.

  Hello

  You must add the SATA/RAID driver.
  Download from here:
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/RAID-drv-20070719134547.zip

  Now, go to the BIOS and on the 3rd page of the BIOS, you can change the RAID settings to * 1RAID-0. *.
  Eventually, you will need to enter the password 1234 + and then press on + ENTER +.
  Now boot from the Windows 7 installation disc.
  Select "Custom Installation.
  Connect the USB where the RAID driver files

  Regarding the selection of the target (SSD drive isn't visible yet) disk, select "Load Driver" and navigate to the USB key, where is the folder with the drivers. Setup for Win 7 now allows you to select a memory stick USB attached.

  Confirm and after that we should include a list of available devices (SOLID-STATE drive)

• Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

  Hello

  Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

  BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

  After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

  Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

  What could be the problem?

  > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

  You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

  From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

  I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
  If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.
