• XPS boot SSD 8900

  I am trying to replace the hard drive on my desktop XPS 8900 with a SanDisk SSD.  When I boot the system I get an error screen that says: "Hard Drive - disk error found. The attention! Hard drive or optical drive not found' However, when I hit "continue" on this screen, the system boots fine and works like a charm.

  I saw a firmware SanDisk SSD update on downloads.dell.com... I downloaded it, but the zip file seems to be password protected and there is not a password in the instructions on the dell site.

  It's very frustrating

  Windows 10 in case that is important.

  Thanks Z4ko, I fixed it and I am operating. The sata0 has blue into the connector on the motherboard, so I moved that to sata4 here is what I did.

  Unplug the HD and entered Bios pulled the RAID for UEFI

  boot from Win 10 stick of mem and loading in the SSD 256 in Sata5 card m2 on the mother, charge card win 10.

  Restarted fine I'm now running on the SSD.

  re - connect now connected HD Sata4 tried to start and received the error "a required device is not connected or is not accessible."

  handed on in the bios and disabled secure boot

  restart on SSD ok and seen HD, format, would lead letter, etc... everything is good.

  went back into the bios and re-enabled secure boot.

  All right.

• XPS 435MT SSD

  Hi I am trying to install an SSD for my XPS 435MT PC.  Samsung 830 series.  I need but the PC in AHCI mode.  My bios doesn't have SATA or Raid.  Technical support Dell says to select SATA.  I select the SATA in the bios disconnected all other HD and connect the SSD.  A clean installation of windows 7. I have not seen any improvement in my system.  A ran the landmarks window and if the same results as my hard drive. A ran Samsung Software Wizard to optimize the drive and the operating system.  He keep reports that PC was not in AHCI mode.  Is there another setting in the BIOS I missed.  I have to do a manual tweak for Windows 7.

  I just got a Samsung 850 Evo 120 GB SSD installed today on my Dell XPS 435MT. My Setup was a single 500 GB HDD with about 100 MB partition for windows C:, E: recovery partition and a D: big data partition
  I followed the basic process has been
  1. Install two software provided by Samsung
  2. Shut down the system.
  3. Disconnect the DVD player and plug the SSD instead. I did it mainly because I don't have a spare SATA cable. I'll have to buy one soon. For now, I used my DVD / BD drive since I almost never use the player.
  4. In the BIOS, I changed IDE RAID, but which caused a reboot so I changed it to the way it was.
  5. Started in Windows as usual and did the cloning using the migration software, I installed in step 1.
  6. Cloning overcome in 11 minutes for about 40 gigabytes of disk C:
  7. After cloning, I was prompted to restart
  8. In the BIOS I put the SSD - fundamentally changed the boot sequence starts
  9. Restarted
  10. My SSD Windows is running. My old Windows partition was placed under C: to F:. New windows of my SSD received the letter of C: drive
  11. Did a check on the performance
  12. I got a number around 180 MB/s and about 250 MB/s for reads and writes respectively
  13. At performance tuning and optimization of the BONE
  14. Now, reading and writing is far beyond the real specs. I get 2500 and 2100 respectively. I still see the magician telling me that I should be in AHCI mode. I don't know what will happen if I try to put in a RAID. At step 4 I tried, but Windows wouldn't start. System should restart every time.

  I am satisfied with the improvement of the initial performance I see.

  It took me just 1 hour to do the foregoing.

• Size of screws in XPS 8900 SSD M2.0 port?

  Does anyone know what is the size of the screw (#1 in the picture) which secures an SSD in the M2.0 slot on the XPS 8900 motherboard?

  

  Two different people to support Dell sent me the right screw for the XPS8900, that I have received and confirmed to work.

  It's M2x3.5, NOT M2x3. The official part of Dell is:

  6JPHH1SCREW, M2X3.5, WIFI/SSD/DDPE, DF

  (or just the part number 6JPHH).

• Dell XPS 15 SSD NVMe slow after updating the firmware July 2016 and papillonné CPU (Core i7)

  Edit: 9/2: title change intended to reflect issues of CPU throttling and discussion (second half of the thread)

  I noticed a huge performance drag after updating the firmware and drivers of my XPS 15 9550. The update took place August 4, 2016.

  Performance of my usual applications (Chrome, development tools and IDE, etc.) is dramatically lower. In general, I would say that things take about 3 times as long to arrive. I checked the CPU (normal), but also memory consumption (as normal) to discover that the problem is with the SSD drive.

  On this laptop: 500 GB NVMe thnsn5512gpu7 NV (toshiba). Attached are the results of a benchmark with AS SSD. All write speeds are appalling, to say the least... that explains a lot, but I have no idea how to solve this problem, and whether or not it really relates to the latest firmware + update drivers provided by Dell.

  (Note: I checked the BIOS, it seems that the SSD is currently configured in RAID mode.) Never touched this option before.)

  Any idea? Other affected users in a similar way. Thanks in advance.

  

  I managed to get the performance back by going to the properties of the disc and turn off windows write cache flushing heat. The two boxes should be checked. Write speed then went to about 1400 MB/s.

• XPS 8500 SSD

  Hello

  I recently bought a refurbished XPS 8500 SE, which came with a 2 TB HARD drive and a 256GB SSD installed. However, it doesn't seem like the operating system is installed on the SSD, so it starts at a speed of HARD drive enough average, which is not what I expected.

  I'm not an expert but I looked around and gleaned that the 8500's SSD is configured to be used as a cache, which is not how I want to use mainly, I prefer to use the SSD as a real SSD drive, so that I can have a fast startup time and also to install important and active applications to it for quick recovery.

  Hey, Osprey,.

  No, Dell did put the score out there, there are a few other threads where to tell the guys at Dell, and it came in the box with this partition on the SSD drive. He has been blocked so that it could not be easily erased.

  But I managed to delete the partition without formatting the drive. I messed with the permissions up to what I've managed to delete and then expanded the other partition on the SSD so that now I have a literally 100% available 2 TB drive and 256 GB SSD is only occupied by all 60gbs. Thanks for your help though.

• Special Edition XPS 8500 SSD access

  Can I save files in the special edition of 8500 XPS SSD instead of on the hard drive of 2 t?

  How to find out how much space left in the SSD?

  Anyone have answers?

  Hi cko,.

  Please open the Intel RST and check if your SSD is used as a cache. If this is the case, the answer to your question is no, you cannot save files on the SSD drive.

• XPS 8700 SSD Boot - make it stick

  My 8700 XPS came with Win 7 Pro preloaded on the hard drive and a red recovery disk media 8.1. Successfully, I installed a Samsung EVO 250 GB HD, connected to the SATA 0 and installed 8.1 on it. This works.

  However, I can't the BIOS to use the SSD drive under the 1st boot device. Unless I press the F12 key during startup and then select the SSD drive, by default it keeps looking for the hard drive.  The SATA operation mode is "AHCI" (which has been set by default already).

  How can I get the BIOS to recognize and use the SSD as default boot device?  Thank you!

  Hi Monkuboy,

  I am pleased to hear that the installation went well. In the BIOS there should be a section that defines your system boot devices. This is where you define the SSD as drive bootable. If you use UEFI, then of course you must select to start in UEFI from Windows, and you can set this option.

  Generally, I recommend that you set the system drive as the second boot device and chip set USB as the first.

• XPS One omitting 2710 USB devices

  I've been solving this problem for several months without success. My system is a current XPS One 2710 BIOS Ver A12 with all device drivers. The system is running WIN 8.1 worm 6.3.9600 9600 build updated all Microsoft updates and patches.

  Last year, I bought two external hard drives 1 to Seagate to use as a local backup (each disc contains different files). Both are USB 3.0 with appropriate cables which I plug into the rear USB ports on the XPS. When I start the Windows machine indicates all USB devices works (printer, scanner, both drives hard ext). Anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and sometimes longer, I hear the beep of the computer and in the lower left corner, a message appears saying a USB device has failed. (Printers and other devices are not affected and continue to work). I check in device for records manager and he tells me "unknown USB device (device descriptor request Failed)" here are the details about the failure:

  The machine requires a restart of the entire system to clear this error.

  USB selective suspend setting is disabled

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I ran out of ways to solve this problem.

  Have you checked the power management tab for each hub USB root in Device Manager?

  If the box: "allow the computer to turn off this device...". "is checked, acheck it and click OK. Repeat for all the USB root hubs, then restart. See if that helps.

  It was reported that it is a Windows problem that can be "fixed" by editing the registry. You can google for this info and edit the registry at your own risk...

• XPS 8700 SSD upgrade

  Hello!

  Just bought a XPS 8700 and would like to Exchange hard-shore out and put in Samsung 840 Pro SSD in. Could use some indications, there isn't an msata on this forum, so it shouldn't be a problem.

  Something special, I do in the bios that select the new drive?

  the OS will install on another drive? If so, just do a backup and re - install the new drive? or do I need to get a new copy of the retail of windows 8 to do this?

  Opening it will not void the warranty that I can upgrade the disk and memory, but if I have problems I send to dell in the State of origin in that I bought right?

  Hi chrisyackulic,

  mSATA reader uses the SSD technology to make the system faster. If you replace the mechanical hard drive normal with hard drive SSD technology TSRI functionality could be cancelled.

  However, to use the SSD on the system please change the SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI TSRI. You will need a reinstall the operating system to install on the system drive. The backup image will not work because the SATA operation mode is different with a previous hard disk.

  You can use the link below to place a request to reinstall the operating system drive.

  http://Dell.to/TmYffg

  If you are not able to make a request to the disk from the link above, then please send me a private message with serial number of the computer, name registered in the purchasing system and email address so that I can check out what we can do. To send a private message, click on my name, and choose Start conversation.

  Replacing the hard drive or memory on the system will not void the warranty.

• Edition special XPS 8700, SSD question, where is it?

  my new PC is supposed to have a 2 to 7200 RPM disk hard + 256 GB mSATA Solid State Drive, I only see the 1 disc which is a 2 TB hard drive, it is a hybrid car or Dell trying to pull a fast one on me? Laughing out loud

  

  It's an mSATA card plugged into a slot on the system board.

• XPS 8500 and Windows 8.1

  In December, I improved my 8500 to 8.1 Windows XPS (I got the banner "do you want to level" within the BONE, so why not?) and about 3 days after upgrading my XPS couldn't find the HARD drive.

  After a painful 3 weeks of work with support, receiving 2 recovery USB keys and finally the DVD to reinstall the OS, drivers and software (which have all failed to recover the HARD disk) Dell's Support convinced me the problem was the 8500 with Windows 8.1 for the hybrid SSD/HDD RAID drivers (which I couldn't find any mention of in the literature of the machine when I was doing) the original purchase,...)

  Long story short: Dell Support had me reformat the disk, reinstall the OS, the data has been lost (luckily I backed up to NAS) and finally my XPS 8500 was back running with Windows 8.  I learned to avoid the upgrade to 8.1 "until drivers are available".

  Well, my support is now expired and I don't see any new drivers XPS 8500 available on the support pages.

  Has anyone successfully upgraded to WIndows 8.1 on their XPS 8500 yet?  Are you still running with the hybrid propulsion system?

  Thanks in advance!

  Greg.Fenton

  Has anyone successfully upgraded to WIndows 8.1 on their XPS 8500 yet?  Are you still running with the hybrid propulsion system?

  I've updated all the way to Windows 8.1 update 1 on my XPS 8500 (SSD/HDD + Radeon HD 7870) without any hardware problem. That said, I believe that what can happen is you install a bad driver from Windows Update or too many updates installed at the same time.

  Try this:

  -Install all the updates of Windows 8 except the 8.1 update and hardware driver updates.

  -When the above is complete, install the 8.1 update.

• Migration of Windows 7 to 8

  I can't get Windows 7 to 8 and have touch screen capabilities?

  You can control other parts of the screen. As the opening apps with touch screen. If you can't then it is not touch screen and you can not have touch screen capabilities.

  I think it depends on the operating system.

  -What is it?

• Dell XPS One 2710 - SSD drive?

  Hello.

  I look forward to the new 27 '' AIO Dell XPS One 2710 with the 3rd Gen i7.  However, I note that there doesn't seem to be an SSD option in the settings.  Is it possible to have one included in the machine for OS and apps, etc.?

  See you soon.

  Do not order it on the site. I suggest that you build it the way you want, save to cart and print.

  Call the Dell sales department or use the Dell sales chat and ask if it is possible. In some of my orders that I couldn't include additional is by phone or chat.

• Dell XPS One 2710 Fresh install

  I want to do a new install of the operating system with a new SSD, I intend to buy my 3 years old Dell XPS One 2710. It is my understanding that the Windows operating system authorization key is integrated into the motherboard. I think it is in the BIOS from what I've read.

  My question is if I install a new hard drive and do a clean from scratch the Windows OS authorization key install will still be valid and knit?  Moreover, would this work if I tried to do a clean install of Windows 10? Thank you!

  Throw the DVD in the trash if its for Windows 8.0 which is end of life. A DVD can be refused by SecureBoot. Also the Windows 8.0 installation and then allowing Windows Update for Windows 8.1 will lead to catastrophic performance.

  Its really simple to do theres just a bunch of information about the editions at the beginning... which often get confused. It seems that you are sure that your edition 8.1 Windows (Home) is however. Take a look at the associated tutorial video too:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Is6I9B9kjFM&list=PL1RkaknDn7v9wEeh0YXFqOFsrmws-9fYn&index=1

  This video tutorial is more direct because it focused only on Windows 8.x OEM with a UEFI BIOS licenses that apply to your system. It omits all details on retail licenses and hardware legacy. Note the .isos used in the tutorial video are Windows 8.1 with Update 2 and not Windows 8.1 with update 1 as shown.
