  I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB - my W520 mSATA SSD does not see.

• Can X 1 carbon (2015) use the EVO to 840 Samsung MZ-MTE1T0BW mSATA SSD internal flash drive 1 TB?

  I have a Toshiba Portege in which I installed a Samsung 840 EVO MZ-MTE1T0BW 1 TB mSATA SSD and it worked fine for months. It replaced a similar unbranded 128 GB SSD. On command, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 1 of carbon with a 128 GB SSD. Is there a reason I can't recreate the image on the 1 TB of the Toshiba drive and install it in the Lenovo?

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  Congratulations for choosing a carbone3.

  The SSD into the computer is a m.2 2280 format the card. The SSD of MZ-MTE1T0BW, you have is mSATA format, so it will not slot, or if it will fit width/length-wise.

  Sorry, but I hope that help to clarify.

• How to install Windows from the recovery in mSATA SSD partition?

  Hi all

  I intend to install mSATA SSD on my ThinkPad E420 soon. My laptop comes with the recovery partition in the hard drive. How to install Windows on the SSD drive?

  I am familiar with the WIndows installation of optical media, but never to the recovery partition (which I assume where is the installer of Windows).

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Sorry, I have no idea on how to install directly from a separate to another drive, but you may want to check this . You will need 1 CD (start) and a 4.7 GB DVD (data) because Lenovo recovery adds all this bloatware in factory settings.

  That said, if you want a clean install, use the Windows disk (in case you do not have the same edition, you can download it legally from the net, google it) and your OEM key for activation.

• x 230 mSATA SSD rescue and recovery

  Hi everyone, I have a x 230 CTO on his way and read a bit about adding an mSATA SSD on the slot available under the palmrest.  In these forums I have seen a few posts here telling people that if they have 2 drives installed and want the software R & R, they should remove the drive planning on installing to.

  Because I am a tinkerer and will probably be reformatting/imagery every two weeks or so, is there a best way to get right on the main hard drive or msata car machine to recover properly?  What to remove the disk from the boot order in the BIOS has not completed the R & R software?

  Looking to avoid opening housing more that just the first time install.  I'd be interested to hear opinions on this.

  Please see my clarification above in the previous comment.

  [Edit for clarification]

  What I expect to do when getting the laptop is immediately create R & R discs and put it away as I did in the past.  I would replace the regular disk with a 2.5 SSD "and also add an mSATA player to test Linux.  Ideally, I would like never to have to open the computer again, however, it seems that I would need to make sure that the mSATA disk has been removed, if you are using the R & R media to fix an image of Windows 7 on SSD, 2.5 "at least with a particular R & r version.

  I have reason to assume that regular Windows 7 or 8 media would be unaffected by the present?  say I downloaded the preview release of Windows 8, a USB key and went to install it.  I guess that the installer should treat my x 230 as any other PC with two drives and give me the visibility and the ability to format and install on a drive?  I'm just trying to determine if there is a design limitation of material or half-baked software Lenovo.

  Here is where I am confused now, and maybe it's because I have a basic misunderstanding of what create R & R discs is doing.

  Each Lenovo PC has partition hidden with a full installation of Windows, wrapped in or slipstreamed in Lenovo owners recovery software.  Discs R & R means that the Windows client software is to simply copy the contents of partition recovery through 3 or 4 CDs (or whatever the amount) for recovery if the hidden partition is destroyed or damaged in the future.

  I understand that the drive letters are arbitrary and do not mean anything outside of windows, with two disks completely formatted, there is no letter to affect because there is no current Windows.  In this case, my suspicion is running from the SEC recovery software is automatically identify the hard drive with the SATA device number and restore the image of her without a choice to use other readers available system or in this case, is not purely and simply with an error.

  My condensed questions are:

  1. the my previous assumption is correct?

  2. how R & R works on Thinkpads with freshly formatted double OEM drives?

  3 vanilla copies of Windows 7/8/Linux will be installed between the two discs without problem?

  I think you're mostly right but let see if I can clarify

  If there is something installed to the location of the hard drive (hdd or ssd) R & R will install on this disk. If you want R & R the mSATA reader then you need to remove all that is in the position of the hard drive.

  If all you want to do is install Linux on the mSATA so there is no problem. The R & R will reinstall for the ssd, and then you can install what you want on the mSATA.

  Make one installs own no problem, the only question tries to R & R anything other than what is in the location of the hard drive.

  Clarifies that the it?

• X 220 mSATA SSD & Questions ExpressCard

  Hi all

  I want to take my first ever thinkpad X 220 for the last two months and I love it. She is beautiful and powerful machine.

  The machine's high-end x 220 series. The only thing missing is an SSD.

  1. a card Ericsson GSM/GPS system. This means, so I can't install mSATA?

  2. I would like to replace my HDD with SSD. What other other than that of you lenovos SSD tested successfully and help? Lenovo SSD's are * beep * expensive.

  3. what 54 mm expresscardis are useful for me? I would like to increase storage. What brand/model do you recommend?

  I have also noticed the screen light bleeding. This isn't annoys me a lot. But I've seen much complaining about this. Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thanking you in advance.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The X 220 has two locations of MiniPCIe , accepting a "full-height" card which is ~ 51 mm long.  The other accepts a "half-height" card, which is about 28 mm long.  In X 220, the low-profile connector contains the Wi - Fi adapter (wireless 802.11n), while the slot full height contains the WWAN (3 G modem) adapter.

  The slot full height on the X 220 is designed to install a MiniPCIe or mSATA card.  I don't know if the low-profile slot will recognize an mSATA card.  If you want to use an mSATA SSD in your X 220, you need to remove the map of Ericsson GSM/GPS.  You can then use something like a 3G hotspot for connectivity.

  The 220 has a X drive Bay 2.5 "hard, but this Bay only accepts a high 7 mm, not the more common drive 9.5 mm high readers.  There are, however, many hard disk (up to 500 GB, 7200 RPM) and solid state Drive (up to 600 GB) that go into the drive Bay.  I haven't used a 7mm high SSD before, but have seen some for sale on the web site of the American retailer NewEgg.

  I used a Wintec 48 GB ExpressCard SSD in my W510 for storage and it has worked well, although it hot after being in the system for a while.  64, 96 and 128 GB models are now available as well.  I guess these work identically in the 220 X, but I don't think they are bootable.  Here are the 34mm card rack, then you want to get a small plastic wedge that fills in the rest 20mm if that open is a problem.  You could also install an ExpressCard/54 location with ports USB 3.0 or eSATA for connecting external storage.

• Satellite M60-139 - upgrade to mSATA SSD via an IDE adapter

  Nice day

  more capacity disc having, on the occasion of the passage of Win 7 I've tried alternatives to 80 GB built-in HARD drive.
  Use an mSATA to IDE adapter and an mSATA SSD 250GB.
  Install Win 7, system drivers, function ok.

  Because I don't know if the types of other manufacturers may be mentioned in this forum, I did not provide all the details on this subject, but you give information that Config. with me is running...

  Wishes Gerhard

  > Use a * mSATA IDE adapter * and an mSATA SSD 250GB.

  If you updated successfully the laptop with a 250 GB mSATA SSD using an IDE adapter in mSATA?

  Very interesting!

  Thanks for sharing your info!

• Portege R930 - upgrade the mSATA SSD succssfull

  Just briefly, I wanted to report an SSD upgrade.

  When I got my Portege R930 (PT331E, i7) two years ago, I changed the HD to a PRO 840 Samsung SSD 512 GB (big improvement). Now, this SSD is too small (photos!) and I wanted to increase the capacity up to 1 TB.

  But instead of a new SATA, I decided to go for an mSATA + adapter SATA I felt an mSATA unit would be more "evolutionary" - next update of the laptop for me would be a Portege Z, who use mSATA.

  So I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB with a Delock adapter/converter mSATA SSD, made a clone of the Apricorn cable and the software switched the SSD and everything works fine (actually a little faster )! At first I tried to use the clone with software from Samsungs migration but this didn t work, maybe I didn t the right version.

  -Now I have a lager SSD that will live longer than my R930. Please note that I'm not an expert with computers - just a happy user Toshiba! Thanks for a good forum with my good ideas!

  Concerning
  / Anders

  So, I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 1 TB whole with a converter/adapter Delock...
  .. .and everything works fine

  Good news Lao!
  Thanks a lot for the comments...

  I also upgraded my laptop with a 250 GB SSD drive and now I think of a larger SSD... I should consider your solution now...

• mSATA SSD + 2.5 "HD on Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p

  Hello

  soon I'll be getting a laptop Toshiba Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p, reference PT45GE-06S03F7J, it comes with a 250GB SSD mSATA. I want to know if it is possible to install a second hard disk 2.5 "additional or I have to choose between having a regular vs 2.5 mSATA SSD" HD.

  Thank you.

  Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA SSD instead of a hard drive.
  But there is only one place to connect the hard drive SSD SSD/HDD or mSATA.

  In the case of mSATA SSD drive, there is a special mSATA HOLDER that lets connect you the mSATA SSD to a 2.5 SATA controller ".

• Tecra R840 mSata SSD installation in module 3G position

  Hello
  I have a Tecra R840-110 model, there is also a 3 G module inside, I would install the mSata SSD pcie slot.
  Is possible to use the mSata SSD instead of module 3 G pcie slot?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  I think that something like this is not possible. Card mother ports are not a kind of flexible ports.
  In the past, that Toshiba gave the second HARD drive, upgrade instead of the optical drive using special adapter.

• Satellite A210-248 does not recognize the 840 ECO mSATA SSD

  I want to build in my Satellite A210-248 on the port of msata ssd.

  When I build in the ssd bios dind't find the ssd, so I can't install windows in the ssd

  Hello

  Satellite A210 does not support port mSATA and therefore the mSATA SSD module cannot be used.
  Probably, you have found a mini-PCI on the motherboard slot. It certainly looks like mSATA but its not the same thing.

• Satellite U400 - 12 p and mSATA SSD

  I have the Satellite U400 - 12 p.
  The motherboard has two free slots miniPCI if they install mSATA SSD OCZ AC Nocti - MSATA - 120G, for example in these slots?

  I agree with Akuma. Satellite U400 is old enough laptop model and its standard SATA port, you cannot use reader with connector mSATA (mini-SATA).
  the mSATA discs are smaller and designed for use on the netboos and ultraportable notebooks.

• Ultrabook Envy6-1100sl: install a 2nd OS on the msata SSD - Envy6-1100sl

  Hi, I upgraded my envy6 with 16 GB Crucial RAM and 500 GB samsung SSD evo. After upgrade, I did a clean install of windows 10 and stopped to use the itegrated msata ssd. My question is:
  Can I install a second operating system on the msata ssd? Can this bios read the second OS on the msata? Is there a procedure to follow?
  Thank you

  Thanks for suggesting it, but I've created a simple way... I just installed the second OS on the msata. At startup the sistem starts automatically on my main drive (500 GB win10), but if I press F9 when starting, I can see my linux on second drive (32 GB msata) and just choose to start when I need.
  Don't need to grub or similar just manual choice, and that's what I wanted!

• I need drivers to install Win7 64 bit on mSATA SSD

  Hello!

  I need drivers to install WIN7 x 64 on THNSNH256GMCT mSATA SSD

  Serial number on my product is 23NS10BFTABY

  Thank you!

  This serial number does not help much. It will be better if you can display the name of the exact model laptop and the model number.

  Anyway, visit Toshiba support and download page for your country and if your laptop model is supported for Win7 64 bit, you should be able to find all of the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.
