ESATA Port = eSATAp on ProBook 6450b?

Hi there,
I hava a ProBook 6450b.
Does the installed comboport eSATA / USB2.0 offer eSATAp compatibilty?
Background:
I want to replace the installed 320GB SATA HDD by a ~120GB SSD.
Then I would like to continue using the HDD as external drive.
I would like to use it in an external case with eSATAp connection to skip the external power supply for the case/HDD...
Thank you in advance for any help! :-)
best regards
Andreas

  • Is the ProBook 4520s eSATA port multiplier compatible

    I have an HP ProBook 4520s running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Is the eSATA port compatible with port multiplier products? If not, is there any hardware I can purchase to solve this?
    This is a quote from the external eSATA enclosure that I'm trying to run.
    Q Only a single drive appears when using eSATA.
    o This means that the eSATA port that the MB561US-4S-1 is connected to does not support port multiplication. Therefore, only the drive in the top bay can be seen by the system. There is a port multiplier built into the MB561 which encodes the 4 SATA connections to a single signal, however another port multiplier is required on the system to decode that signal back to 4 individual SATA connections.

    I assume since you cannot see all of the drives it does not, you can try the chat feature on this page to see if a support rep can answer for sure, if not they can log a case number and maybe an engineer can find out and get back to you.

  • K9A2 Platinum esata port and Install and Usage of esata External Hard Drive

    I just bought a sata hard drive and an icy dock enclosure for backup purposes. Having never used one before can someone explain how this works?
    I have the hard drive in the enclosure, no problem there. I plugged it into the esata port on the back of my motherboard, but vista won't recognize it and when I reboot and go into the BIOS, I don't see it there either.  I have purchased Acronis True Image 11 Home for backup and mirroring purposes. I wish to mirror my existing internal drive to this new external drive.
    Questions:
    1. Can I use the esata ports on the motherboard for this drive, or should I use the PCI bracket and plug it into one of the existing sata ports on the motherboard? If esata port, exactly how do they work? Are there BIOS settings for the esata ports or do they operate more like a usb connection?
    2. Do I need to do anything with this drive before using it; format, install operating system...??
    3. Are the esata external drive considered plug and play or do I need to plug it in before I boot my computer.
    TIA.

    Everything seems to be working as I would have expected at this point, with the exception of the size of the mirrored drives.
    I decided to make another mirror onto the 3rd drive making all 3 drives identical. So now I would expect all three drives to show the same "GB free" while viewing with Vista explorer.  The odd thing is, is that which ever drive I make bootable - SATA5 port and becomes the C: drive,  shows 226GB free. The other drives, either as E: or J: will show as 268GB free.  Most be an Acronis or Acronis user (me) issue/oddity?
    But bottom line, the sata and esata ports seem to be working as I would expect. Though plugging the external hard drive in before booting (power on or off, needs to be unplugged from the esata port) seems to hang at the FasTrack screen as described above.
    My only guess to why this all seems to be working currently is that I don't think I ever had my bios set correctly. After enabling the onboard controller, having the drive actually plugged into SATA5, then rebooting, selecting boot sequence and selecting the raid drive as the first boot device. At least this is my recollection, I made so many bios changes previously that I thought I had it all covered. 
    Any thoughts?  I think I will try to get an answer on the Acronis size difference before I try to setup my RIAD 1, since that would require erasing two drives, per your instructions here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113738.0
    Thanks for help once again.

  • How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

  • Synaptic touchpad stops working now and then on ProBook 6450b

    The touchpad on my ProBook 6450b stops working every now and then. It just freezes, no error message or anything. It always works again after I reboot. It also starts working immediately if I go to the Task Manager and kill SynTPEnh.exe and then restart SynTPEnh.exe via Explorer (C:\Program Files\Synaptic\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe). I have had this machine for 9 months, and these problems started only a couple of weeks ago. There are no error messages, and Device Manager says the device is working properly even when the touchpad is frozen. Sometimes I can go days without having a freeze, sometimes multiple freezes within minutes. Also, it happens during different activities - web browsing, watching movies, etc.
    I'm not sure, but I might have enabled the WiFi-card in the BIOS prior to having these problems. However, as I currently need wireless, disabling it again is not an option. 
    I tried updating the BIOS, but the installation program wouldn't detect my SanDisk Cruzer USB stick, so I couldn't make a backup and decided to abort the procedure. I also tried installing another version of the Synaptic driver (can't remember the version, but it said "Evaluation Copy" on the Synaptic device in the Control Panel). It worked for a couple of days, then I got the old freeze again.
    My setup:
    HP ProBook 6450b
    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    Synaptic driver version 15.0.24

    As a "quick'n'dirty" solution, I figured out how to automate this process. Simply create a new textfile called "Restart Synaptics.bat" and enter the following into it:
    taskkill /IM SynTPEnh.exe /F
    "C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe"
    This will kill the SynTPEnh.exe process and then restart it. Now put a shortcut to your batch file in the Start Menu for easy access.

  • Adding an esata port on new iMac?

    Is there a way to add an esata port to the new model iMac?

    OWC has offered this in the past, but I don't think it's possible with the new model iMacs, they way the teardown would have to be done.
    On the other hand, with Thunderbolt on the new iMacs, why bother with eSATA?

  • W701 esata port suffering from poor design/qua​lity from manufactur​e?

    After having my W701 for 5 weeks, with 2 replacment of MB due to different problems, last time bios and port problems, I got i back from Lenovo today. I had reported it with a no functional/very poor functional esata port.
    What happens is that:
    With my lacire drive;
    When I write to internaldrive everything is ok - when I write from my internal drive to the external it stops and says that the disc is no longer attached.
    With my chieftech cabinet with esata port:
    Writing from works fine - writing to starts good, then hangs for a minute or so - then drop from 50 MBps til 18 MBps, then continous, and does it again.
    When I use them against my HP Homeserver EX495 it works like a charm, so non of the disk is the problem, unless the have some love for my HP, and hate Lenovo - but that would seem rather absurd to me.
    The last MB didn't work better, and the new one dosn't either. Anyone who has an idea? I can't belive that 2 MB has the same problem, or? Allthough the IBM technician admitted when asked that he had not tested the esata port, he figured that since it was on MB, and that was changed it would work fine - but obviously that wasn't right.
    edit:
    I did another test now after packing a .rar file. The transfer to the lacie failed, but to chieftech it went fine. But - sending huge .tiff files was the reason of buying esata disk, so that dosn't really help me, other than telling that sending 100 files will crash, and 1 file is less probable to fail, but has currently a 50/50 chance of doing so.
    I tried with the chieftech later - and it repeated the problem - it started with 6 MBps - den stopped - worked again - and so it kept on working.
    How I tested this time:
    1 file was zipped on my server - 2,5 GB (1)
    1 file was zipped on the internal drive - 5,5 GB (2)
    Transfer of file 1 from server to drive went fine to Chieftech , but failed on Lacie.
    Transfer of file 2 from internal to both Cheiftech and Lacie failed big time. Chieftech froze explorer, and until I plugged the disk out by napping the cable out it wasn't possible to use the computer. Lacie failed after 5 seconds.
    The first times I tried to transfer 129 files - and that didn't work any better.

    Sorry, but I have no suggestions for solutions to your first post.
    But, the W700 can run without RAID; you just need to turn it off. Backup all files before proceeding, during the boot process you can press CTRL + I to enter the RAID BIOS. Simply remove the drives from the RAID and install the OS to HDD 0 or 1. The other HDD will then be an "extra". After doing this you may also be able to hide RAID in BIOS, can't remember 100%, but should be do-able.
    Hope this helps

  • ESata port?

    I've got a MacBook Pro, not sure of the year but it's a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 8G, 1067 MHz DDR3.
    I'm on the road, want to use a Hard Drive dock that has an eSATA port.  I notice I have a 'slot' on the left side of the MacBook Pro and wonder if this could take an eSATA adaptor ... and if yes, would this give me a better, and faster, link than the Firewire 800, given the dock only has Firewire 400 out?
    Or, if yes, would I still be better off getting a Firewire 400 to 800 adaptor?
    And, if yes, what kind of adaptor would I be looking for?
    All ears, thank you ...
    Ben

    Hi Ogelthrope,
    Very helpful.  Thank you.  Here is what I got from the system profiler:  I'm not sure if the slot is an Express card 34 though... but may very well be.  I had a slot on my previous MacBook Pro that took an eSATA adaptor ... via a slot that also took the SxS cards from my Sony EX-3 camera.  But this slot looks smaller.

  • 2007 24" iMac eSATA ports

    For anyone out there interested...
    I have successfully installed 2 eSATA ports on my 24" 2007 Aluminum iMac.
    I am very impressed with the results! 
    I am running Mountain Lion off an internal SSD (which I also upgraded) and can boot from external eSATA connected drives.
    If anyone would like more information on how to do this, lemme know.
    I found that when I was seeking this info, it was rather scarce on the web.  Not anymore! 
    It's not that tough an upgrade... especially if you do it the way I did.
    And it costs approximately $60 (usd) in parts, give-or-take shipping, etc, etc.
    Cheers!
    J.
    P.S.  I passionately love Apple & their products, but I must admit, my greatest disappointment is the lact of eSATA support.  I get the Thunderbolt perspective... but eSATA is just one of those standards that is waaaay too common and will be around for a very, very long time.  Just support the **** thing.

    It's really straight-forward, actually. 
    Here is a parts list:
    The eSATA port to SATA cables you can buy almost anywhere.
    The Mini PCIe to SATA card I purchased from M-Factors, $35
    http://www.mfactors.com/pm362-sata-to-mini-pcie-adapter
    It shipped really fast, I was impressed.  It also seemed to work fine (and still is) without installing drivers.  It was recognized and booted off an external drive without hitting the option key.  Pretty cool. 
    The reason you MUST purchase this card, as opposed to any other is the proximity to the LCD screen.  There is absolutely no room between the card and the LCD.  Other manufacturers' cards required people to solder eSATA connections.  I can't risk my iMac or external drives failing, so I needed a more refined solution. 
    Try as hard as I could, I couldn't find 90 degree SATA to eSATA cables anywhere.  Just crazy!
    So I purchased the BYTECC 90 degree Male-Female adapters from Newegg. 
    Pulled out the Airport Card, plugged them new parts all-together, et voila!
    I decided to drill holes in the bottom perferated grill on the Aluminum housing.  Not the most beautiful of solutions, but it works!

  • Intel HM77 Express/C210 Series Chipset using eSATA port multiplier

    I have just purchased a Zotac Nano computer which uses Intel HM77 Express chipset and has an eSATA port. I was surprised to notice my 8-bay hard disk enclosure did not work on this machine. I have read online that the Intel chipset supports eSATA port multipler in hardware but that the Windows drivers do not have it supported. However, some reports are that it should work under Linux.
    Does anyone have any idea about getting the on-board eSATA port to work with port multipliers?
    Many thanks,
    Graham

    see the following doc:
    Acquiring from GigE Vision Cameras with Vision Acquisition Software - Part I
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5651/en
    Compares the Universal to High performance driver,
    specifically both provide the same max bandwidth of 125MB but the high performance driver takes advantage of the intel pro1000 chipset to offload some of the CPU load, again this is less important as processors become faster.
    "Advantages
    While the high performance driver provides better CPU performance compared to the universal driver, it will only work on Gigabit Ethernet cards with the Intel Pro 1000 chipset. The universal driver can work on any Gigabit Ethernet card recognized by the Operating System. CPU usage during acquisition will affect the CPU cycles available for image analysis. So if your application requires in-line processing, it is better to invest in a Gigabit Ethernet card with the Intel Pro 1000 chipset like the NI PCIe-8231. While your choice of driver affects the CPU usage, it does not limit the maximum bandwidth possible. Either driver will be able to achieve the maximum bandwidth of 125 MB/s."

  • Dv7-3065dx esata port multiplier

    Anyone know if the dv7-3065dx esata port hardware can function as a port multiplier? I want to purchase a Thermaltake BlacX Duet USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive but it requires a port multiplier. I have the single slot thermaltake blackx right now and it works awesome, but I'm lazy and want the dual one so I don't have to switch out the hard drives.
    the link to the product is http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-BlacX-Portable-External-ST0014U/dp/B002MUYOLW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s...  if anyone needs more info about my question.
    thanks

    Hi iceman,
    Did you get a response on this? I am looking at getting the MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay eSATA & USB 2.0 External Enclosure http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=123 and need to know if the DV7 supports port multiplier capability as well.
    If the Thermaltake worked, let me know.

  • MSI GT70 2OD eSATA Port

    I might be asking a stupid question here but where is the eSATA port on the MSI GT70 2OD?
    On the MSI website under specification it states (sorry can't seem to post a hyperlink):
    eSATA                          1
    eSATA/USB  Combo     1
    If it is one of the USB ports, what type of adapter do I need to use eSATA (without loosing performance by running under USB)

    http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-770m
    According to that it is supported.
    I'm not certain how well it will work, but it should. I would assume it does over Display Port, but I honestly have no idea as I don't have any.

  • Safe to have OWC add eSATA port to 2010 iMac??

    Hey Everybody!! OWC is currently running a promotion called the "OWC Turnkey eSATA Add-On/Upgrade Program for iMac 27" '2010'" I love my iMac but because I use it in a music studio I could REALLLY use the extra eSATA port. For $169 (excluding shipping), that's a pretty darn good deal.
    I've never heard of an upgrade-port option like this for iMacs. Is it safe for me to pay OWC to do this or is it a risky move for my machine? I trust OWC a great deal but obviously it's not like I'd be having Apple install the port themselves. Any opinions, fact or references you can share with me about this one, please do.
    Thank you so much for your time!

    OWC is a reputable company that much I can say. While I know they warrant their work I am not sure how Apple would feel about it from a product warranty point of view. This is a question I think you should ask OWC and if the say Apple OK's it you should ask for that in writing.
    Going forward while iMacs are great machines and are very capable if they don't have the feature set you need I would recommend looking at the Mac Pro line.
