EDrive / Bitlocker on X1 Carbon 2015 with Samsung SM951 512GB PCIe SSD option

Hi,
didn't find any information if the PCIe connected 512G SSD Drive is capable of hardware encryption for use with Bitlocker. While it seems to be supported on the non-PCIe drives (OPAL 2.0) available for the 2015 X1 Carbon, is that also supported on the PCIe drive (MZHPV512HDGL)? 
Thanks.

Lenovo doesn't support eDrive in any of the SSDs that ship in current ThinkPad models.  As you noted the non-PCIe M.2 SSD supports OPAL 2.0 (which is different than eDrive).  The PCIe SSD does not support any kind of hardware-mode encryption.  Actually PCIe itself does not support hardware-mode encryption.  There is a new spec coming for PCIe called NVMe that will add encryption capability.  You'll see NVMe show up in the next generation of ThinkPad systems.

    Hello,
    I Buyd Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 and i have it implantated in the M.2 slot, but it is not regonized! I have a MSI X99S SlIplus must i have  a newer bios update?
    At the moment. 1.80 installed.
    And also i got the problem that the screw is to small  so i cannot tighten on my Motherboard!
    Pls can someone tell me what to do ?
    thanks

    As the installation should be very easy you have most likely not installed it correctly and therefor it is also not recognized. Add a photo of the installation situation.

  • X1 Carbon 2015 : Cracking sound speaker, especially with Dolby on (and other issues)

    Hi all,
    I just received my new X1 Carbon 2015. This is the first time I purchase a Lenovo Device after years with Dell.
    Unfortunately, the sound quality is horrible, but I am not sure if this is by design of if the laptop is faulty..
    The sound is very bad when it is coming from the speakers, especially the left speaker: the sound is cracking and saturating. This is especially true when the Dolby is on, and you clearly hear the problem with standard Windows event sounds (for example the sound you can hear when you adjust the volume with the slide on the sound icon next to the clock), or any warning sound.
    No problem if I use an headset.
    Am I alone with that issue?
    Even if the device looks great, I have to say that I am overall disappointed by the laptop quality, especially regarding the cost of that device (this is the Core i7 with QHD touchscreen and 512GB PciE SSD):
    - When I received it last week, the left button from the trackpad was stuck (impossible to use). I had to gently scratch the side of the trackpad button to release the button. Probably some remains of the manufacturing blocking the button.
    - Then I noticed that sound issue.
    - And finally yesterday, I discovered a spot on the bottom right of the screen. Not a dead pixel, but a clear spot behind the pixels, 1 square millimeter,  reflecting the backlight.
    Thanks
    Pierre

    Just had the IBM service tech at my house to replace the left speaker (I had purchased on-site service contract). He replaced it with a new one, and it now sounds normal - the distorted cracking & buzzing is gone. There appeared to be some tiny nicks or cracks on the original speaker element, which may have caused the problem.
    The process was fairly painless. Lenovo had the part in stock, shipped it to a local tech, who scheduled the service call within a day.
    The sound quality of course still isn't great without external speakers or headphones - these are just tiny little ultrabook speakers, after all. But at least now the sound from the built-in speakers meets my expectations, and doesn't make me cringe when I hear it. Once again enjoying my new Carbon X1...

  • X1 Carbon 2015 - Where is the 256 GB PCIe option?

    So the 2015 refresh of X1 Carbon is here. When I am configuring one in the Lenovo shop, I see these options for storage:
    128GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA
    180 GB Solid State Drive Opal 2.0 - Capable
    256 GB Solid State Drive Opal 2.0 - Capable
    240 GB Solid State Drive Opal 2.0 - Capable
    512 GB Solid State Drive PCIe
    I've heard from some early hands-on videos there there ought to be a 256 GB PCIe SSD option. Which is it?

    you're looking at the 2014 model. the new one is not available yet and there is no release date yet.
    I'm looking at the 2015 X1 model on Lenovo Canada's website. One way to confirm this is by the CPU options, i5-5200U, i5-5300U and i7-5600U. These are all the latest Broadwell-U series processors. The only PCIe SSD is 512 GB. Also the MTM for this is 20BS, not the previous 20A7 and 20A8.
    Another anomaly is that if I select the base i5-5200U CPU the configurator won't let me upgrade to 8GB RAM. I have to select the  i5-5300U and pay $100 for that in order to have the opportunity to pay another $100 for the RAM upgrade. Hopefully this is just an anomaly in the configurator and not some silly marketing limitation.
    Added: I found this parts list via Google: X1 Carbon Gen 2 MT: 20BS, 20BT. It shows several motherboard FRUs that have an i5-5200U with 8GB RAM.

  • Can't install windows XP to a macbook pro with an Intel X25-M SSD

    It's a strange problem:
    We just bought some new unibody macbook pro 2.8Ghz machines, (4GB ram)etc. We also obtained some of the new Solid State Drives (SSDs) from Intel, the X25M-80GB.
    (part number: SSDSA2MH080G1C5)
    After installing the SSD into the macbook pro, everything works.....in OSX. Installation of 10.5.5 went without problem, all updates/firmware applied, everything works fine.
    The problems start when you try to install XP. We used the boot camp assistant, and created a 32GB partition, put in a XPSP2 disk, and start the installation.
    Everything starts up nicely and goes to the blue/white text based installer for XP. It loads drivers, and then reaches the point where it would ask you to select a disk to install to (where you would normally see the three partitions, 1 being the FAT32 you select as C:).
    However, what you get instead is an error message that: +"Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer...."+ and then you have to exit.
    If you use the original 320GB drive, everything works as expected, (nothing wrong with the laptop hardware, or the installation CD). If you stay in OSX, everything works as expected. (nothing wrong with the Intel SSD either)
    To further add information, we also installed the Intel SSD into a Mac Pro (2008) as a second drive, booting to a windows installation (through boot camp) on the first disk. Windows boots fine, but there is no sign of the other drive AT ALL. (not a driver issue here - there simply isn't any hardware here as far as windows is concerned.)
    That brought us to our conclusion that there is something awry in the BIOS/EFI
    being presented to Windows, that doesn't support the Intel X25M drive at all.
    However, there is no user customisation (or even access) to the settings or what's happening at that point in the boot cycle, so I'm unable to diagnose further.
    Given the Intel SSDs are using their SOC (system on a chip), (I believe - but I could be wrong on that one) perhaps that just isn't supported by the EFI?
    Would appreciate some advice on where to go from here? These SSDs cost about 1400AUD+ each, so we'd rather like to actually use them....
    I suspect we're asking/requiring for an EFI update.
    (to head off some questions: Yes, we've used different discs, and also different computers...The disk and hardware themselves are just fine. Also, the drive WAS formatted with a GPT paritition.)
    Thanks!

    From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US&q=IntelSSDVista
    I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

    That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

    "My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
    Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
    SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

  • I just bought Mac Book pro; trying to hook up dual monitor with Samsung syncmaster 2033 but no signal; I am using dvi to hdmi converter. Please assist.

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro but unable to set up dual display with samsung syncmaster 2033 via DVI to HDMI port.
    Thank you in advance for help.

    There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
    The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

  • Iphone not compatible with Samsung LCD TV

    Hi, I have an Iphone4 and a Samsung 6000 series LCD TV. I've tried tv out through an Iphone dock to the tvs AV input .... ie the three phonos into a single jack av lead. The iphone says playing to tv but the tv says "no device found". I rang Samsung and they say that the iphone is totally incompatible with Samsung tvs and will not play even through a different device. Does anyone know different please ?
    I was thinking of getting a Zepellin, but seems this will have the same issue !
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    I read the user manual for the series 6000 TV and it should work with either component or composite from the iphone4...
    I dont see details on the dock you are using, but if it has a video out on the dock itself chances are it is old... apple changed over to the universal dock and the video is embedded in the 30 pin
    The component and composite format is a video standard that apple has nothing to do with every digital TV i have tested it on works fine (Sanyo, Dynex, Viewsonic).
    I good way to check for sure:
    1. try connected another video source to the TV (DVD player, camcorder etc)
    2. try connected your iphone4 video to another TV
    But if it is an old dock, that is most likely the problem, the only video cables that should work are the 30 pin to component OR the 30 pin to composite
    good luck

  • Cannot send an MMS with Samsung Galaxy III

    Highly frustrating.
    I have turned on mobile data, turned on wi-fi, restarted it and it still doesn't want to send. The send circle just keeps going around and around, for hours! I have 2GB worth of data so it shouldn't be a problem. Can anyone tell me how to make it work because I really have no desire to drive up to Verizon, don't have the time. The phone is less than a week old. >.<

    No luck..>.<
    Perhaps I was doing it wrong. I took out the battery and held down the power button for 10 seconds. Then figuring I read it wrong, I took out the battery, let it sit for 30 seconds, put it back in and held the power button. Just powered on like usual. I really want to be able to send picture messages...>.<

  • Tingling Sensation when charging Macbook Pro 13 inch 2015 with Force Touch

    Today, I just got my Macbook Pro 13 inch 2015 with Force Touch.
    When I charge it, there is a VERY STRONG tingling sensation. Almost feel like a strong vibration. I believe this is what they call a "mild electric shock". After testing the new machine with different power outlets (both at my house and other people houses), with same result .... my fingers feel all numb.
    I am going to Apple service next week with this.
    Anyone experiencing the same thing?

    Usually that indicates a bad ground in the source system.  Perhaps a licensed electrician should be employed to check out the wiring.
    Ciao.

  • AppleTV usage with Samsung TV wirelessly

    Can AppleTV be used with Samsung series 6000 LED TV without having to purchase the Samsung wireless LAN adapter. Can I just use the HDMI connection from AppleTV to the Samsung HDMI port ?

    I just bought that exact model, and I have my AppleTV2 (you have one of the little black boxes, not the larger silver one?) connected to it and it works. Some things to try -- some HDMI cables are directional -- make sure you have the cable going FROM the AppleTV TO the TV.  My ATV2 is plugged into HDMI port 4 (not that it should make much of a difference).
    Also, is your wireless system set up to go and broadcasting? Is your computer on, connected to the wireless system and is iTunes open?

    You can in fact buy what you want, no need to go with Apple TV
    To connect (wirelessly) your Mac to the HDMI on the TV:
    They range from $100 on up.

  • What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500.

    What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500?

    I am shopping, with a focus on Samsung, and was told by a Samsung rep their TV's were not compadible with Apple TV. I found this difficult to believe so I wanted to pursue with persons knowledgeable with Apple TV.
    If I find that Samsung is not compadible I wanted to determine which lines, e.g. Sony, might be compadibile, as I wanted to use Apple TV.
