Full SATA 3 support for optibay

Hello,
I'm the happy owner of a 2011 MBP 8,2 and have an SSD installed as the hard-drive and am enjoying the speed of SATA 3 (6GB). I have installed the original Apple hard-drive in the optibay as my backup/storage disk which connects at SATA 2 (3 GB) speeds. However, when testing the Optibay with a SATA 3 hardrive, the system will not recognize the drive although the link speed is showing 6 GB available. My reading and experience to date tells me that full SATA 3 support is not available for the optibay. I have the latest updates, so Is there a firmware or procedural fix for this type of support?
Thanks

Not realy sure what you mean.
If you have a late 2011 MBP it has a series 6 Intel chipset which support SATA III on all channels.
I have not even tried a SATA III drive on the secondary, optical bay, port. So I have no idea.
Whether Apple/Mac OS X supports it I don't know either. But I really don't think it is up to the OS. It is the chipset software that either does or doesn't support the speed of the SATA ports and which ones it does or doesn't.
From what I read about the Series 6 Intel chipset SATA III is supported across all ports.
Even with the original DVD drive on that port it reads a 6GBs with the drive only supporting 1.5GBs as anything faster is just a waist.
For me I got all the parts. pulled the system apart, switched everything around, put it back together, turned it on and haven't thought anythiing about since. It worked from the first startup and continues. Aboth the only thing I did was a clean install on the SSD, leaving the original install on the HDD until I knew the SSD would work and I could enable TRIM support on it. I then copied all the data that ws on the original drive to an external, formated the original and then copied the data back on to it.

  • Moderators: Full Vista Support for Bundled Softwa

    I was wondering if creative was going to make available Vista upgrades for all the Software included with the X-Fi Platinum card and i/o dri've, especially Smart Record and the Mixer? I just bought this card after Christmas and now find that all the software is non-existent. The beta version falls way short of the software included with the card. Thanks

    It has been said before, but they will update the software to work in Vista AFTER the main work on the driver is done. ETA? Around summer 2007.

  • Multitouch support for trackpad on Windows

    Is there any way to enable full multitouch support for the Macbook Pro trackpad under Windows? The two-finger scrolling works perfectly but I miss the three finger swipe and thre-finger flick whenever I boot on Windows.

    I see :/
    I've installed the Trackpad++ driver described in your second link and it has actually improved the tracking and scrolling speed. However, it does not include support for three or four finger actions. The developer seems to be planning to in later releases though.

  • External SATA support?

    I know some PC motherboards include extra SATA connectors on them that aren't always pre-connected for you. Does the Mac Pro have any extra SATA connectors on its motherboard?
    I just saw this deal at Shop4Tech (http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=5849&siteID=Es5Ekr9eEBk-Gqhcdo kOkqNlKYq4SwHL1w) which is only $24 for an external SATA enclosure. But I'm wondering if there's any way I'd be able to connect it to my upcoming Mac Pro.

    There is external SATA support for the Mac Pro using PCIe host adapters. I tried cabling the two SATA ports on the board to the rear of the Mac Pro but they do not support hot swap - so you have to restart each time you change hard drives on them. Not an ideal solution.
    I found a better options.
    1. Get a 2-port WiebeTech Tera Card TCES0-2e for $99.99
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/tces0/
    2. Get a FirmTek SeriTek/2SE2-E and use the FirmTek 2SM2-E driver with it until the new Mac Pro EFI firmware comes out that will allow this card to be bootable.
    3. Call Addonics at 408-433-3898 and ask them to sell you a ADSA3GPX1-2E
    flashed with the BASE BIOS b7.3.13 for $39.99 for the Mac Pro. Tell them AMUG sent you. Then use the SiI-3132 Mac driver version 1.1.6 found here:
    http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=32&cid=3&ctid= 2&osid=3&
    I have three of the Addonics cards in a Mac Pro which provides 6 external hot swap SATA ports. You can use them for RAID or individual hard drives. So when someone tells you that no external SATA ports are available for the Mac Pro they just don't know
    Have fun!

  • Crystal Runtime 10.5 for Visual Studio 2008 - viewer/full version support

    Hi - can reports developed in VS 2008 (CR basic 10.5) be run externally using a full or viewer version ?  If so, is there a restriction on which versions can be used for this (2008 / 11 / 13 etc) and whether the version must be full vs viewer ?
    The background is that we have an old asp.net 3.5 system that is being migrated from Windows 2008 / IIS 7 to Windows 2012 / IIS 8 - the app runs fine but it seems the 10.5 runtime is no longer supported.  Recompilation using VS 2010 isn't an option so I was looking at client-side solutions if possible to run the reports outside of the .net app - preferably using a free viewer as the reports will not be re-designed.
    I'm hoping this is a straightforward question but I've checked a few sites/forums and this isn't very clear.  Grateful if someone can advise or point me to a site which clearly covers this.
    Thanks.

    I don't know if you are looking for a web or win viewer, but as you are mentioning servers, I assume you are looking for some sort of a web viewer(?). And there is no such thing. There is a Windows viewer:
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29774.
    CR 10.5 is supported - will be until Dec. 31, 2018: SAP Crystal Products - End of Mainstream Maintenance Dates: Current Products
    However there are no fixes planned. Additionally CR 10.5 does not support WIN 2012. CR 2008 (v. 12.x) is supported in VS 2008 and when updated to Service Pack 7, you will get support for WIN 2012. See SAP Crystal Reports 2008 SP7 for Windows - Supported Platforms.
    So, in a nutshell; upgrade the app to CR 2008, SP 7 and all should be fine.

  • EPub support for full-bleed images

    Hi,
    I'm creating an ePub version of a Pages document, and I want to include the full-page image for the cover. Pages tells me that it can't support floating images, but in-line images need to respect the margins set for the rest of the document. I want the cover to extend at least to the margins, but it appears that Pages won't support that.
    Has anyone got any work-arounds that will support a full image cover for an ePub export version of a Pages document?

    Have you had a look at the supplied ePub template in Pages? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168. You can download the template from this page
    The template has a placeholder with an image spanning over the width of the page. It is using Layout breaks and Layout margins which are set in the Inspector palette > Layout tab > Layout

  • Will be full support for Pentax K-5?

    Will be a full support for Pentax K-5 in Lightroom 3.4? I mean camera profiles (I don't like adobe standard).

    There is full support for the this camera in 3.3.
    3.4 RC is presently out, so try it and see.
    If what you mean is will Adobe make any more calibration profiles other than the initial one, the Adobe standard, this is pretty unlikely. If there is a particular problem with the profile sometimes they re write them, but this is usually done following users raising problems at the RC stage.. They usually only provide extra calibrations for Canon and Nikon cameras.
    Nothing to stop you using the free tools supplied by Adobe to make your own.

  • Native SATA hard drive support for hp pavilion notebooks DV2000 , DV9000

    Hello,
    decided to post a question on this hp forum instead of the hundreds of other tech forums out there in the hopes of recieving a valid knowledgeble response.  (Also since the question relates to Hp products lets give it  a try on here>>)
    So here is the question I'm trying to get answer for.  Can a SATA hard drive from DV 2000 series notebook be used in a DV 9000 notebook series?  I have done some forum reading and apparently there is compatibility issues depending on chipset (Intel or Amd or ATI?)
    My Dv2000 series had a fujitsu 250gb hard drive which ran Vista 64bit on an AMD/nvdia motherboard,
    I want to use this in my DV 9233cl notebook which has an Intel/nvidia chipset motherboard.
    When I insert the fujitsu 250gb into the dv9233cl the notebook powers on, does a read of hard drive for 10 mins or so (hdd LED lights up, goes dim while reading) then says : No OS found. 
    I tried to do a fresh install using Vista CD; its doesn't recognize the drive.  I click option to load drivers for hard drive (yes I also got intel drivers for Intel SATA controllers from hp web site) the drivers load but still do not pick up the hard drive;
    I want to know two things really..if at post the motherboard reads the drive or trys to does this means the hard drive itself is good/healthy?  If so , why does it not recognize by Vista Install disk or by the intel SATA drivers?
    If anyone can accurately say what the problem is would be great.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Thank you for responding and opening up the discussion with more information.
    I refered to it as new in my post in reference to obtaining it recently after my older dv2913cl. 
    The dv9233cl is in fact old, however I installed a brand new intel/nvidia motherboard into it. 
    The system boots, bios has native sata support set to 'enabled'.  During post it recognises hdd device as it starts to click and spin and read.  After it will say ' no OS found'.   This to me seems normal as the hdd is not 'configured' to boot on the dv9233cl?
    Also the systm boots and runs fine into mini Xp for diagnostics. So overall I know the dv9233cl is functioning.
    However mini Xp does not recognise there is a hdd device. 
    Wanting to reformat or do a fresh install of Vista I boot from the Vista Install disk.   It does not pick up or recognise a hdd is present.  I install Intel SATA controller drivers which I obtained from Hp website (as suggested by expert forum members to those who have similar SATA  hdd not being recognised with intel motherboard)
    Link for intel SATA drivers for XP and Vista
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S​oftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&swItem=ob-542​...
    I used the SATA controllers which came up on the screen and even try going through each one ; however the SATA hdd device is not picked up.  So this is the main question and issue. Neither any DOS hdd utility , mini XP or Vista install disk recognise there is a hdd present.
    Why is it not recognised and how to resolve.?

    .dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
    Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

  • Nokia PC Suite support for Outlook and Thunderbird

    Hi,
    I am currently using the Microsoft Outlook 2007 combined with Nokia PC Suite to synchronize the contents of the Outlook with my Nokia N73 smartphone. I am now considering to switch e-mail client from Microsoft Outlook to the Mozilla Thunderbird. So my question is then, is Nokia PC Suite compatible with Mozilla Thunderbird?
    I have in fact already installed Thunderbird, but it is not available as an option anywhere in the settings for Nokia PC Suite. All I can find in the Nokia PC Suite settings is a tab called "Microsoft Outlook" where I can choose the different Outlook profiles or change settings. In my humble opinion there should be a new tab added called "Thunderbird" or similar right next to the "Microsoft Outlook" tab in the settings for Nokia PC Suite after installing another e-mail client such as the Mozilla Thunderbird.
    I know that there is this option to choose what e-mail client to use upon installing Nokia PC Suite, where I have chosen Outlook. Does this mean that I have to reinstall Nokia PC Suite to get this choice to choose e-mail client to use? If I do reinstall Nokia PC Suite, will I even get to this option at all? Since I am only reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and it is already configured once to be used with Outlook, I'm thinking that maybe this option will not even appear upon reinstalling Nokia PC Suite.
    I don't have a clear memory of it but I think I once reinstalled Nokia PC Suite for some reason and I was not presented with this option to choose e-mail client as the first time I installed it. So this may require complete uninstallation and deletion of files and Windows registry for Nokia PC Suite, and then a fresh installation of it to get to this window where to choose e-mail client.
    Even when and if I get to that window, it's no guarantee that I will be able to choose Thunderbird even thou it's installed. Why? Because I know from experience that commercial and proprietary software like Nokia PC Suite tends to only support the industry standard platforms and systems and applications, or de-facto industry standards like the extensively used Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft products. I know by experience that such software as Nokia PC Suite love to lick Microsoft's **bleep**. Don't you think?... or don't you know? You disagree? Well lay it on me, tell me what you think!
    I would love to be able to synchronize my mobile phone with my computer, even if I may use a Linux or other nix-like operating system. But if Nokia PC Suite doesn't even support e-mail clients other then Microsoft Outlook, such as the Thunderbird, then it's probably too much to ask for a Linux support for Nokia PC Suite. Or is it?... does Nokia PC Suite support Linux?...

    Thanks for your answers!
    By this time I have made a clean install of Windows Vista at least three times, and on one occasion I remembered to check this this thesis of mine that I mentioned above. So for the purpose of testing if it's true that the Nokia PC Suite installation process or Nokia PC Sync configuration wizard does not present the user with the option to choose Mozilla Thunderbird as e-mail client, I have done the following.
    I have made a completely clean, out of the box installation of Windows Vista on the computer (retail version, non-custom branded Vista version). After installing the needed and important drivers for the system and other software required for the proper operation of the system and few other software, I went on installing Microsoft Office with Outlook 2007 as one of the first software applications. Then I installed Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird. After I had done that, I installed the Nokia PC Suite.
    As my thesis predicted, after successfully installing Nokia PC Suite and the Nokia PC Sync configuration wizard was started, I was not presented with the option to choose Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail client, even thou both Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird were installed prior to or before Nokia PC Sync. In other words, if this was a limitation of the Nokia PC Suite or it's installer, where it does not recognize e-mail clients that are installed after Nokia PC Suite itself, then installing the e-mail clients in this order should make Nokia PC Suite recognize it. But it did not, or at least as long as the Mozilla Thunderbird is concerned. Thus, this proves my thesis - Nokia PC Suite is currently not compatible with Mozilla Thunderbird. And Mobile Sensei Petrib confirms this also.
    Here follows a screenshot of the actual Nokia PC Sync configuration wizard.
    http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9803/nokiapcsyncsd3.jpg
    I'm afraid we will have to bear with this. I personally don't believe that there will ever be any official release of Nokia PC Suite that will have full support (or any at all) for other e-mail clients then just Microsoft Outlook and Lotus, or that there will be any official Linux or nix-like version of it. Not today, not in next five years, and not in one thousand light-years from today. We can hope, but the odds are pointing in the opposite direction.
    So bear with Microsoft Outlook, and the Windows **bleep**. No pay, no play! Unfortunately... fortunate for Microsoft, Nokia, and others alike, but unfortunate for us end users.

  • Printer Driver Support for Computers Running Windows 8 Release Preview

    Printer driver support for computers running Windows 8 Release Preview
    HP is working to help customers have the best experience with HP printers connected to PCs running the final release of Windows 8. The pre-release time is a development period when HP develops and tests printer driver solutions. HP’s current plan is for Windows 8 compatible printers to be available when the new operating system is released to the public. HP is working with Microsoft to include drivers in the Windows 8 operating system for HP printers introduced in recent years.
    There may be a variety of sources for a printer driver/solution for your HP printer on a computer running Windows 8 Release Preview.
    inOS:
    An in-Operating System (inOS) driver is a basic driver that is included within the operating system. You do not need to download or install any software from HP. Windows 8 Relase Preview contains several inOS drivers. If an inOS driver is available for your printer, you will have at least basic print capability with USB and Network and basic scan capability with USB only (if your printer supports scanning).
    Windows Update:
    There might be a more functional or more up-to-date driver available for your printer through Microsoft Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled, then the Windows Update process activates automatically when you connect (USB and Network connections) the printer to the computer. It searches online for the most recent print driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more functional than the currently installed driver in Windows 8, the computer downloads and installs this driver.
    HP Supplied Printer Driver/Solutions:
    Although HP does not formally support any pre-release versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Windows 8 Release Preview, we may supply some full functionality drivers* prior to the official release of Windows 8. These drivers may be supplied as a courtesy to our valued HP customers through this Support Forum, though no formal support will be available otherwise. We welcome feedback within these support forums. Please check back for further updates as the official release of Windows 8 approaches.
    * Full feature drivers provide full product functionality, plus valuable software to help you get the most out of your printer.
