WWAN or mSata use, L512, SSD

Hello

Maybe someone could help me with my question.

I own a Lenovo L512 4444-4PG. After reading the manual, I found the description of

the view of the underside of my L512. There is a slot for card Wireless WAN number 6

mentioned.

Well, it looks like an mSata Slot.
Do you think I can use a RunCore Pro V 6Gbps SSD or 3Gbps mSATA
by using this slot machine? Or any other SSD by using this slot machine?

Manual name: ThinkPad SL410, L410, L412, SL510, L510 and L512 Hardware Maintenance Manual
60y3635_01.PDF

Manual page: 154

Thanks a lot for your help!

L520 was the first to have mSATA capable slot, the slot L512 mPCIe is for the WWAN card.

  • I would use mSATA 32 GB SSD in 14z 5423 as data disc normal

    I have a new Inspiration 14z 5423 and it comes with 500 GB HARD drive and an mSATA SSD 32 GB for acceleration. I intend to replace the HDD with a SSD, so I have more acceleration.

    But I don't know how to disable acceleration and use the SSD of 32 GB of normal data storage.

    Any help in appreciated.

    I've been successfully disabled iSRT. But in a slightly different procedure that has been described above. At the time, I received 14z, trie GUI has not been installed. And I went to Dell.com and downloaded iSRT driver installed. Main player has already been associated with the mSATA for accelerated reader.

    If I'm above procedure to disable sorts them in the BIOS, I won't be able to separate the main drive of the mSATA drive. So, here is the procedure I followed.

    -Leave the BIOS for SATA operation setting as it is for the trie.

    -Disable 'Technology Intel Quick Start' in the BIOS because it uses 8 GB mSATA

    (Note that I'm really confused of sorts and iRST, I think Intel should really change)

    -Windows startup

    -Launch GUI TSRI

    -Click on 'Accelerate' tab and click 'disable acceleration.

    -Click mSATA drive icon, and then click 'reset to available.

    -Restart Windows and the mSATA 32 GB is now available as normal storage

    Good afternoon and welcome to the community.

    You shouldn't have any problems setting up computer you the way you describe. My X 220 (generation of your W) is configured with an mSATA SSD Crucial m4 under the keyboard and a Samsung SSD of 840Pro in the main Bay. I had zero problems. A moderator colleague runs a T420 has also equipped the mSATA SSD Crucial m4, but kept the flat disc in the main Bay, I think.

    Hello

    I would like to install a small SSD as a second drive in my r700-15 q, in order to experience the renaissance SSD.

    I see that others have done that using a shopping cart that is installed in the optical drive Bay.

    My laptop is not equipped with an optical drive, or a Bay for an optical drive. Only, it came with a traditional hard drive 7200 RPM. Here is the http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/portege-r700-15q/ complete spec

    Is there anyway to install a second drive in my laptop (r700-15 (q)?

    In the worst cases, is there enough connectors and isolating a space to accommodate a small SSD inside with tape!

  • Satellite U840W-C9S - Windows 8 installation and effective use of SSD

    I am trying to install Windows 8 on my Toshiba Satellite U840W C9S.

    It has two disks: * HDD (500 GB) * and * SSD (32 GB) *. Originally, my computer has Windows 7 HP, and, as I understand it, SSD has acted as a cache, so that Windows has been installed on the HARD drive.

    I installed Windows 8 at the disk and started looking for information on the ssd as cache usage.
    But it turns out that you must set the SATA RAID mode in BIOS, but I don't have the option here.

    This is why when I install technology Intel Rapid Storage (which is used to configure the SSD as cache) there is no option to use the SSD as cache.

    It is clear that my computer used to treat the SSD somehow. The question is, how can I use SSD + effective + (not only as another hard drive, but as cache, for example)?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    > It turns out that you must set the SATA RAID mode in BIOS, but I don't have the option here.

    This option isn't available in the BIOS because the RAID is still active / active.

    To use the QuickStart, you must follow these steps:
    -Firstly the Intel IRST utility must be installed
    -Now go to the disk (win key + X-> disk management) management and format the SSD drive. In this case the SSD will be visible in the Explorer (windows Explorer)
    -Now right click on the SSD drive, choose Properties and here you should find a tab (don t know exactly how its called) that contains the option for the quick start

    I hope that this will be functions, otherwise there is no other way to effectively use the SSD drive

    How can I make use of the SSD drive to help speed up the system?  I see the system starts and runs more slowly now.  I'm ready to blow the current operating system and re-run the Windows backup utility.  But I need to know how to use the SSD during the restoration.

    Hey @llebrez,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! This is a great place to find solutions and help our community!

    I understand that you have some information about using the SSD in your HP Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook. I'd be happy to help you with that.

    The SSD in your laptop is used for a technology called Intel Smart Response. Intel Smart Response uses the SSD as a type of Cache smart to help load the items faster. The reason why that is not used currently is because the restoration of the system is not designed to use the SSD for intelligent caching and is not able to establish that on its own.

    If you want to configure Intelligent caching on your laptop, you can follow this guide provided by overclock.net: how: implement the Intel Smart Response Technology (SSD caching)

    I hope this helps. If you have more questions that I'm able to answer for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • If I use the SSD to initiate the operating system and a hard disk of data what exactly will be the benefit of this end?

    Hello

    I would like to know if I use the SSD drive for the operating system boot and a hard drive for data. What will be the benefit of this effect,

    I know that SSDS starts much more quickly and reads and writes data faster.

    When I use the SSD for OS then my only wil advantage so I have faster from the OS, not more than

    but the reading and writing data wil either by the hard drive so I wil not use all the benefits of the SSD, data wil be read and written by hard drive!

    Am I right or wrong?

    SSD benefits for most of the time of loading, and it is for all software. If you install Windows on a SSD and return to a HARD drive after a few weeks you will certainly appreciate the value of an SSD, just for the

    only the loading.

    While startup in Windows is the most obvious, the Windows advantage is usually a bit snappier

    on an SSD.

    An SSD expected to also help in many programs such as Photoshop, video editing, the processing speeds

    or CAD, due to data being created during the writing of these programs.

    I think the reads and writes more visible with large files.

    All my programs are on the SSD, but my games are on the HARD disk.

    Games to load a large number of data and will load faster on an SSD, but it's still a few seconds.

    and as games use a lot of Go, it is not really profitable to keep (150 +) on an SSD.

    -J' I keep most of my data, except the music (to save space) in my user folder, but haven't really

    noticed a difference in speed when opening a data file, such as a Word, PDF, images, or similar

    'small' files from the HARD drive.
    -I wouldn't take an SSD less 120 GB. Try to run Windows on a 60GB translate too

    stuffing autour with management of data between the SSD and HDD. In particular, as it should be

    keep 20% an SSD free to allow the two "garbage collection" and deliver a load of

    cells of extra memory to extend the life of the DSS (data gets moved to empty cells when the cells die).

    There is also a noticeable difference between the speeds of SATA2 and SATA 3 controller, so if your motherboard uses the SATA2 more the advantage of an SSD is not as great as with SATA3.

    In addition, the new SATA3 SSD controllers are faster than those of two years ago.

    SSD is a big enough topic. There are many items in the wild that may be useful.

  • For the installation of the satellite P850-30W system - can I use a SSD

    Hi all!

    Telephone tech support couldn't give me an answear good so I try my luck on this forum instead.
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite P850 30W and what I understand there is a m-sata port available.

    My question is: is it possible to put for example a CRUCIAL RealSSD M4 SSD 128 GB mSATA in this machine, install W7 on it and use it as a OS disk? and use the 2.5-inch slow for storage disk.

    I don't want to buy a new sata m before I know it is doable, I would also like to know the best and easiest to do this, seen a lot of different approaches in different forums.

    IF I install w7 on the m-sata drive can I use the series key provided with the preinstalled windows or what I call MS?

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

  • Satellite U840W PSU5XA - Win 8.1 installation and effective use of SSD

    Hello.

    IM in the hope of a solution to the two questions.
    The second that I suspect is caused by the first.

    Satellite U840W PSU5XA-001006

    Has started getting the BSOD with various defects.
    The most persistent has been IRQ LESS or not EQUAL - iaStorAV.sys

    Many hours of research and I can't find a solution or post did the extension "AV" the iaStore.sys...

    So I have provided zero factory (BSOD) issues have persisted.

    So, I Clean installed Windows 8.1 directly above everything and removed all previous records.

    I noticed that the system was not working all utility brand TOSHIBA factory etc. and seemed to be much slower. I suspected that this was caused because of the 32 GB used SSD as Cache has apparently been bi-passe and now everything worked strictly on the 500 GB HARD drive. I don't remember BSOD, but the system has been significantly slower on the start-up and performance.

    (SIGH), I even once reset to factory settings, and it gave me back TOSHIBA utilities such as gas stations of the brand.

    HOWEVER, the BSOD remained, and once the upgrade to windows 8.1 MAINTENANCE of files and settings, the iaStorAV.sys error is returned (specifically when closing lid in mode "standby") forcing the CRITICAL error and force the system to restart instead of awakening from sleep.

    Note: Windows is a legitimate copy of MS, so it's not the question. More strange, it's that 8.1 installation had run at least 8 months no problem before sudden BSOD Page file and iaStorAV errors. Readings and messages have believe me MS Updates to bee the culprit here for the start of these issues.

    I read a similar post regarding RAID CACHE PRIOR to 8.1 Windows Installer. My intuition tells me that these two can only be related. that is if windows was incorrectly installed RAID cache, CACHE is not in strored properly and causing BSOD. Im a beginner at this stuff, so be patient...

    What I really want to know is, how now can I Factory Reset Windows 8, make it positive to the 32 GB is used as CACHE and help etc. fastboot, then pass safely to 8.1 Windows?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    ATTEMPT of THINGS ALSO: TSRI and RAID re - install, memory (success), updated BIOS to 6.70, Diagnostic fast storage re-installed drivers

    Thanks in advance,
    Mr. frustrated...

    iastorav.sys is part of the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
    The BSOD appears to be related to this pilot and is therefore the first step which I recommend: update the Intel rapid Storage Manager driver.
    The latest version should be available on the Intel driver page.

    If you use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the HARD drive recovery process, you will get the same system and State of the laptop computer as on the first day of purchase. In this case, the system must be configured correctly.

    But if you have deleted or replaced the HDD / SSD in the past, then the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuild with special tools / software and the procedure.
    This can be done ONLY authorized by the service provider.

    By the way: the upgrade to win 8 to 8.1 Win has been very well described in this Toshiba HowTo doc:

  • Tecra M10 cannot install OS using disc SSD Kingston

    Hi all.

    I am a computer tech and can usually find a way to fix something myself, (rock Google!).

    But recently I had a Kingston SSDNOW 64 GB drive and decided to install in my Tecra M10 age of 12 months. 4 weeks ago I had a full head of hair, now I am completely bald.

    The drive is recognized in the BIOS, but whenever I try to install Windows on it, I get nothing. I tried the recovery DVDs XP, recovery DVDs Vista The, the "free" upgrade Windows 7 recovery DVD, and a DVD Vista & Windows 7 retail. I can't drive to be recognized to install Windows.

    I can copy the existing disk image, but it starts the splash screens and blue. Normally I think that driver RAID or hard disk controller, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require a, I tried).

    I checked and installed the latest version of the BIOS for laptop. There is no update available for the SSD firmware. So I find myself with a laptop that always uses a slow, (relatively) hard drive and a very pretty silver rectangular Clipboard.

    Can anyone think of anything whatsoever that I missed. Anyone working for Toshiba can tell me if there is a BIOS update for this problem (I search the forum and found many people who are struggling for SSDS working in Toshiba laptops)?

    The sad thing is that the former other laptop I got for my son accepts the player and works fine!
    I had many prefer to buy Toshiba, but I want SSD technology rather sooner than later, and if Toshiba does not go to support, I might have to change of Lenovo or Acer.

    Rob.

    > Normally I would RAID driver or controller hard drive, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require one, I tried).

    I think you have misunderstood something the SSD drive does not need SATA drivers BUT the fact the OS (Win XP, Vista or Win 7)!

    The SATA drivers are needed to recognize the HDD/SSD under Windows OS.
    New generation of portable supports the new SATA controllers that require SATA drivers.

    You will find on the European driver Toshiba Intel Storage Manager page

    Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers that are required to install the OS.

  • HP 15-AY503TX: the use of SSD & HDD on HP 15-AY503TX

    Is the HP laptop 15-AY503TX a long Bay of hard drive to accommodate an internal SSD?

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    Look at pages 61 and 66. You can use EITHER a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD or a WSSD m2. They use different media to but either uses the SATA header on the motherboard so 2 disks in the laptop at the same time will not happen. Your model came with a hard disk of 1 TB 5400 RPM 2.5 inch which is slow by today's standards.

    The other thing, I want to emphasize is that any changes made to the configuration of the hard drive you need to remove the back cover, to jeopardize the warranty. Still, isn't super hard to do, but you need to know.

    Your laptop has no trolley/caddy/adapter for a disc of m2, so if you want it to be quick for investment less I would setup a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in the Bay, illustrated on page 61 in place of the existing hard drive. Then, you could take the original hard drive 1 TB 5400 RPM and put it in a caddy/adapter in place of the optical drive (see p. 48). It would have to belong to a third party, but they are widely available on amazon.com and elsewhere. Of course, you lose the DVD player, but who really uses it these days, anyway. The replacement of the optical drive is actually allowed by the warranty, it is so easy to do.

    The operating system (Windows) on the SSD and use the 1 TB drive in the DVD Bay as storage device.

  • How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

    So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

    But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

    I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

    Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

    It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

    So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

    Thank you
    Stéphane.

    > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

    To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

    (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

    (a) recovery to out of box state
    (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
    (c) recovery of a custom size partition

    (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

    I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
    I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

    Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

    What do you think?
