HDD for lenovo Twist

Could you please recommand me some compatible HDD for Lenovo Twist? The hdd went dead. looking to 7200 RPM with 500 - 1000 GB capacity.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Any 2.5" 7mm high HDD should work, which are a little less common than the 9.5mm high drives normally used in notebook computers, but becoming more common. The S230u's FRU List gives the following part numbers and models:
04W0570 - B500 Toshiba
04W0576 - C320AF Seagate
04W0582 - 7200RPM SATA 320GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-320
04W0583 - 7200RPM SATA 500GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-500
04W0592 - 5400RPM 500GB 7.0mm 6Gb/s WD MN500S-500
04W3923 - 5400 JAGUAR-B7 500
04W3926 - 5400 MN500S 500GB
04W3927 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 320
04W3929 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 500
You could also use a 2.5" 7mm high SSD as well, although if you do, you should not enable the iRST or ExpressCache caching with the mSATA SSD as it will actually slow things down. You could still use the mSATA SSD as a small secondary drive for backups, etc.

Default Partitions for lenovo Twist s230u

Hello,
I have a Lenovo Twist (s230u) and need to do a system recovery. Unfortunately, neither the F11 option is working nor recovering from win 8 itself. I do not have a win8 disk (wasn't supply with the computer) !
The only option I guess is to get a win8 drive and do a clean install. Before I do this and reformat the drive, can someone tell me what to do with the different partition on the HDD and the SDD ? I see the disk is divided into multiple partitions... Even if I do a clean win 8 installation, what should I do about the 260 Mb, 1000Mb and 7 Gb partitions (EFI, recovery and recovery respectively) Are they necessary ?
What about the SSD ? Technically I guess since it is separated, it shouldn't affected.
Thank you
Cyril

Hello and welcome,
Easiest - if your drive stays alive long enough - is to make a recovery flash drive and use that to restore to a new drive.
Methodology to create Recovery Media and reload a Lenovo system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload
If you have a MS Win 8 install DVD of the matching version you can just copy the contents to a FAT32-formatted flash drive and use that for a clean install. The license is in BIOS and shoud be picked up. (CAVEAT: I've done installs from flash, but not verified that the license is picked up.)
Note that the copy-to-flash install works for MS media but not for Lenovo recovery DVDs.
Worst case: use a USB DVD drive. Worst, worst case: purchase recovery DVDs from Lenovo support _and_ use an external drive.

Hello,
The latest firmware for the Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard disk drive can be found here on Seagate's support web site. You may want download it and have it ready to install in case yours comes with older firmware.

Lenovo Twist - How do you copy Win 8 Pro onto recovery partition?

I upgraded my Lenovo Twist (3347-4HU) from Win 8 to Win 8 Pro with Windows Media Center (WMC). How do I copy the newly purchased operating system and WMC to my HDD recovery partition so that if I ever have to do a restore, it will restore Win 8 Pro with WMC and not the original copy of Win 8 that came on the computer? My concern is if a recovery is done from the factory recovery partition, I will lose my upgrade that I purchased.

Another option would be to make a full-drive backup to an external HDD. You can use the oddly named "Windows 7 File Recovery" feature to make the backup.
It's probably a good idea to do that on a regular basis.

Best Portable USM HDD for K450 hot-swap bay

I have read suggestions for the best portable USM HDD for K430 hot-swap bay, but I'm not sure if the K450 has the exact same hot-swap bay as the K430. Are the drives suggested for the K430 the same ones that would be best for the K450? I haven't even received my Lenovo K450 yet. I ordered it on Thursday and it will arrive on Monday Oct. 14, 2013. I just want to understand the hot-swap bay because I thought there was a way I could use a hard drive out of my old computer and put it in an external drive case and plug it right in. After reading the literature here in the community posts, that doesn't appear to be the purpose of the bay. I wish it would work that way because I wanted to easily offload some documents that are saved on my 500 GB Western Digital 3.5" hard drive that I would have liked to move to my new computer easily. My old computer is not working at all anymore, so I can't just drag and drop them from my extra 500 GB drive from that computer onto the new one.
Solved!

I purchased this same drive and it works great!! It is too bad that Lenovo didn't tell me this when I contacted their support team. It would have saved me a lot of time!!

Changing HDD for SSD QUESTION (U410)

Is any data held on the 500GB drive at time of reset?
Basically my question is, can I simply swap the 500gb HDD for a 250gb SSD without problems of so when I reset the Windows8 install etc will work as usual?
I will use the one click recovery button, and reset everything, except this time on the 250gb SSD.
HELP?

hi shoutingdog,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
First Before you change any setting or setup,
Create a backupdrive first of your WIndows 8 using this Method and let's Name that as your Repair Image.
Download and install belarc advisor to get the product key.
The HDD will have everything, your Windows 8 Os and even the Onekey Recovery Partition, so removing your HDD will render the One click recovery button Not working.
Two ways to install windows 8 back to the blank SSD.
1 You will need an external mount for your SSD or HDD where the scenario should be both SSD and HDD are connected to the computer so you can clone the HDD to your SSD.
(If the clone failed then you can use the Repair Image)
2 You can use a retail copy or any installer copy of Windows 8 and install that to your SSD, if asked for a product key, use the Key extracted using the Belarc advisor.
Any driver needs you can download from Support.lenovo.com
Again The Preloaded HDD Contains the Recovery partition, and the One click feature will look for the HDD where it is saved.
Best Regards
Solid Cruver

What drivers to update for recent Twist purchases?

Hello everyone,
I just bought the twist on black friday and need to know what drivers to update?
Also, does anyone know how one can update drivers by using the lenovo setting without the usual going to a web browser and manually finding the update? I am pretty sure there is a way but I don't seem to find it. I was looking around the Lenovo Support App but maybe I didn't look well enough.
Similarly, the driver update for tent mode didn't work for me, so hoping Lenovo comes with a solution to the Tentmode problem.

I'm expecting driver updates to solve that issues that most of us are seeing with the lenovo twist
Touchpad driver:
should resolve the issue where mouse moves and click around in tablet mode
Power Management:
should resolve the issue with the auto-rotation especially in tent mode
And maybe one that improves the battery life? Hopefully...

Lenovo Twist - Can't get WWAN Driver to Install

Hey,
So, got my Lenovo Twist last weekend - absolutely love it, but **bleep**.. I'd love to be able to slap a SIM in here an go.
Problem is, the WWAN driver appears to be missing - Device Manager shows the WAN Miniport, but the driver doesn't work.
Here is what I've tried so far:
- Allowing Windows to try to find an updated driver (nothing)
- Downloaded and attempted to install this from the Lenovo Twist Support Drivers Page: Ericsson H5321gw/C5621gw Mobile Broadband Firmware for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad (this results in an error: Initialization error) - This seems to only be a firmware anyway
- Tried this one.. which appears to be the driver for Ericsson H5321gw: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029034 (Installs, but doesn't solve the driver issue.. even after reboot)
- Tried a few other various drivers that people have suggested, but none seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Marc

Following up on an earlier post I opened up my Twist to see what is inside with respect to WWAN. Easy to do; just two screws and slide out the keyboard. I had not seen any WWAN references in the Device Manager. Sure enough, the PCI Express slot the User Guide shows to be the location of the WWAN card has the 24GB SSD. Even though the SIM slot and socket is there and the red/blue antenna leads are there it does not appear both the WWAN and 24GB SSD can be installed at the same time. The other PCI Express slot has the WIFI card.
I don't know enough about SSDs but maybe a SATA type SSD could take the place of the 500GB hard drive which could free the PCI Express slot for a WWAN?
My Twist is model S230u and the Lenovo System Update application says the "Machine type and model" is 33474HU.

Quiet HDD for Audio Recording on T61

The original hard drive on my T61 having just died I need to buy a replacement.
One of the best features of this computer for me has been its near silent operation - I use it to record spoken audio and so this is REALLY IMPORTANT.
What would be the quietest HDD I could buy for it ?
Are 7200rpm drives louder ? Do they run hotter and make the fans come on ?
Can Solid State Drives be used in T61s ?

I haven't tried it myself, but an SSD should be fine. There may be alignment issues, depending on your OS - and as always, there can be compatibility issues with a given manufacturer. Here are a few links that may help. You can also search "T61 SSD" here on the Lenovo forums.
Does T61 w/ traditional HDD supports new SSD
T61 SSD replacement
Crucial® Memory Advisor results for the Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Series Laptop/Notebook.
I'm not recommending or not recommending Crucial - but their T61 compatibility list should be a comfort.

Interesting. I'm running a Hitachi 320G 7200RPM drive in my T400 with no detectable vibration. On my T61, a Seagate 200G 7200RPM drive vibrated like crazy - tried two of them - but a Hitachi 200G drive was pretty close to vibration free.
I'm quite happy with the Hitachi in the T400. It is fast, quiet, and cool. YMMV.
I wonder if the reported manufacturing changes in the T-series keyboards and top bezels could explain the difference?

Lenovo twist battery Wear

Hello,
Just wanting to get a view on what everyones battery wear is like on there lenovo Twists. I have had mine for 10 months, and it has already depleted by 26% (According to batterybar). My full charge is now limited to 32,310 mWh. Is this normal for this type of laptop?
Note, I have lately been using the lenovo battery stretch functionality (the one where it limits the battery to 50%). Although I do use the laptop as a laptop mostly so the rest of the time I fully charge.
Seems like another 10 months and the battery will be useless, and since it has a nice small form factor, changing the battery isn't easy.
Cheers

Hello again,
@lead_org Sadly when going through cmd's powercfg/batteryreport it doesn't show the cycle count, as seen below (unless there is another way to access this information, if so please tell). Also thanks for the quick reply.
@nicknick70 yeah, I was very dissapointed when I first got the device and saw how pathetic the battery was (7 hours is laughable). Now battery quality....... I am in the market for a new tablet, probably wont be Lenovo based on this.

Lenovo Twist Lag Spike / Freeze

I recently got a lenovo twist and have noticed that as I use it on a day-to-day basis, the machine is guaranteed to freeze for at least 20 seconds during a use "session."
This can happen during any situation of computer use (gaming, word processing, browsing, watching movies, etc...). Has anyone else encountered this issue and is there an active fix?

I have looked at the error logs and I get these types of errors. This was after a freeze that lasted 3-5 minutes. Seems like some problems with the disk or something. The list of errors are actually a lot longer but the forums wont let me post them

Lenovo Twist Boot time

Hi I have Lenovo Twist with preinstalled 8.1 and it takes 10 min just to come to the windows screen. It seems stuck on Lenovo page that is loading something. Boot priority devices are:
1. Windows boot manager
2. HDD SSD
When I perform hardware scan all devices pass the tests. Is there any possibility to speed up? What is going on during that Lenovo screen? Can someone explain?

I have the same issue with my Lenovo Twist which I recently got about a week ago. Not sure what caused it and already pinpointing it to the most recent update. Any help would be appreciated!
