  • Macbook Pro early 2011 often ssd corruption

    As i installed Drive Geniuou Pro 3 on my macbook early 2011 equipped with 128 GB SSD i noticed that every month i've got some check failing on the hard disk (in drive geniuos -> verification failed -> must run repair) and this reflects in a little performance slow down and  i think i always had this problem, even before installing drive geniuos, bacause i noticed those performance issues in the past. Booting from the drive geniuos cd and running repair solves the problem but it becomes frustrating because it happens so often. Is there a way to run some checks or procedure to keep in health my disk? Or maybe it is an ssd probelm and there is a patch?

    What i cannot understand is why disk corrupts because macbook never freezed and never had probelm saving, moving, copying files!
    You have a Toshiba SSD in your Macbook.
    It sounds more like a software issue rather than a hardware issue - do you have a USB external drive handy with no files in them?  I was going to suggest you clone your SSD to the external drive and once that's done - boot from your external drive - open disk utility and do a format/erase on your ssd using a secure erase - once that's done, clone your external drive to your internal drive - restart your macbook and see if problem continues.
    more than likely however, you still might have the issue since you're just doing a clone but it's worth a try.
    a clean install is a much better solution but you have to do a backup of your contents so you can restore after.

  • MacBook Pro Early 2011 support Handoff

    How come that my MacBook Pro Early 2011 supports the Handoff if it has Bluetooth 2.1?
    I receive all the SMS properly, Continuity works well and I also receive the calls.
    The only problem is that, during the calls, I hear a lot of rumor that comes from the MacBook speakers....some one can explain that??

    No, that is a hardware component that cannot be upgraded.

  • Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel

    Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel
    16GB DDR3 Apple MacBook Approved RAM.
    I upgraded to a 250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO drive, install was fine using IOS 10.6.8 but using Logic Express PinWheel of death
    would appear loading tunes, taking ages to load with 16GB RAM? and loading tracks from a Firewire Drive which uses less processor.
    I goto Samsung and get the latest Firmware and create an image and burn it to CD and run it from a Command line. The Pin Wheel continues,
    I upgrade to Maverick in an attempt Apple would know about Samsung's top of the range SSD drives? perhaps not. I have even more issues since the upgrade,
    Itunes unresponsive, missing Apps like Ableton Live 8, more loading Pin Wheel issues.

    The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

  • Big Problems with Samsung Series 830 SSD SATA III (256GB) and W520

    Hi,
    i get my W520 last week with an normal SATA 500 GB Drive, at home i changed it to a Samsung Series 830 SSD SATA III (256GB) and install windows 7 64bit pro via recovery media.
    I was wondering, startup was taking very long .... from starting windows to the logon screen 1.45 minutes ... Now i tried a new recovery, same issue, tested the harddisk which is in good state.
    I changed back to the 500GB Drive, startup take only 30 seconds around....
    Are there any known issues?

    Hi,
    hope to catch all questions and some additional Information 
    1. RST is installed
    2. BIOS 1.34
    3. latest Lenovo Updates are all installed
    4. latest Windows Updates are all installed
    5. Clean Install i have tried, but first startup has shown the same issue
    6. Tried the SSD via main bay and via multibay
    7. checked BIOS for AHCI Mode
    8. switched to Diagnostic mode (where can i view the report, machine goes driectly further in Booting windows)?

    Also if I took it into an apple store to get installed how much would it cost? Any ideas?
    Hi Chris,
    I am not aware of any compatibility issues between that SSD and your machine. I've purchased a couple of their SSD drives and the install was quick and easy. Although I haven't installed one of their drives into the MBP 5,1 (Late 2008), I have installed SSDs and normal SATA drives into the same body style and there's been significant reworking between the models that I've come across. Just make sure you have the appropriate tool for the drive screws and you'll be all set.
    Regarding the install, the Apple Store will not install 3rd party components into your machine. Nor do they sell HDs that they will install. Apple will only install the RAM you buy there or replace parts as a result of a service.

  • Does my MacBook pro Early 2011 supports an Samsung 840 pro SSD drive???

    Hi guys!
    I want to improve my macbook pro  15" early 2011 by installing a ssd drive on it! I just want to no know if a samsung 840 pro with 512gb will be compatible with my model. Its a serial ATA 6 gbs model.
    thanks!

    If you install it in the main drive bay it should work just fine. If you install it in the optical bay, replacing the dvd drive, it may or may not work correctly.

  • Compatibility ssd sata III and macbook pro 13 december 2009

  • W520 support for SATA III or 6GB with Vertex 3 240GB SSD

    I need a laptop that supports 16GB memory, HD display (1920 X 1080) and SATA 3 with 6Gb speeds to leverage my existing Vertex 3 240GB SSD.
    Looking up PSREF, I find the W520 specs state SATA 3Gb/s (SATA II?) while the chipset is QM67 which is supposed to support SATA III 6Gb/s.
    So the question is, does the W520 support SATA 3 at 6Gb/s? I need the throughput to leverage the throughput of the Vertex 3 240GB SSD  for multiple VM's on my laptop.
    Thanks and regards

    Just for the record i been using several SSDs with the W520 including the OCZ Vertex 3 and OCZ Vertex 3 max and they both fit fine with the rubber rails in the W520. Just don't mount the case that is normally around the HDD/SSD. You won't need that case anyway when using the SSD in the W520. Use only the rubber rails and the SSD will fit fine and should be seated fine as well.

  • Dv6t-1200 ssd sata III support

    I have a dv6t-1200 CTO and would like to replace the hard drive with a Smasung 830 SSD drive.  The dv6 shows a motherboard Quanta 3627 18.42 and I'd like to know if this supports SATA III my S/N is CNF9407X3H part number fv161av.  I am running Windows 7. My understanding is that SATA III will perform much better than SATA II and since the SSD is $300, if I can't get top performance I would consider an upgraded laptop.
    This question was solved.

    I bought and installed the samsung 830 256GB drive and it is working great. I still don't know if I'm getting SATA II or SATA III speeds but it is much faster so it is what it is.

  • Tecra R850 - SSD support for SATA III 6.0GB

    Hi.
    I bought R850 with SSD.
    The bad thing is that SSD 256gb installed is limited to SATA II with transfer up to 300/mb. I read that Sandy Bridge Supports SATA III which covers 600/mb.
    Is somebody successfuly installed better SSD disk capable with SATA3?
    I tried Sisoft Sandra and it reported that SSD SATA is II, the same for Motherboard. The HwINFO reported that chipset is capable with SATA 3. The Everest shows only SSD data with SATA 2.
    Is the bios blocked for higher transfers ? I got 180mb/s read, 150 mb/write - which is 3x worse than normal SATA 3 256gb SSD harddisks.
    Can anybody help me and tell - if it is matter of R850 bios ? or just only the old Toshiba SSD firmware ? if I buy better SSD with SATA3 - will it fully support higher speed ?
    Best Regards
    Tomi2012

    HI. this is Tecra R850-1D8 with Toshiba's SSD 256gb. I know that laptop has Sandy bridge and should support 6.0gb SATA III, but in strange way Toshiba limited it and Sandra and other programs sees that it its SATA II only compatible. I think the problem is hidden in the bios.
    I think there is no hardware limits - only slow old SSD and limited bios.
    Maybe this could be unblocked ? or Toshiba upgrade the bios - to allow user to use newer SSD drives ?
    May they would like to sell new R850 with newer SSDs so they will need unblock it.
    Let me please know what You think

  • SSD SATA-III in optibay

    Hi there.
    Should a SATA-III 6gigabit SSD work in the obtibay of a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011?
    I get 6 Gigabit speed with 3 Gigabit negotiated when using a 5400 rpm HDD in the optibay.
    I'm asking, because I tried inserting a Intel 520 series 120gb SATA-III SSD in the optibay the other day - i was unable to format it from there, even though it showed.
    Regards,

    Ah okay, thank you.
    It's because I broke the SATA cable to the HDD bay.
    I've ordered a new cable, but I'd like to use the SSD untill then, if it was possible.
    Guess I'll have to wait it out, and cross my fingers that the new SATA cable works.
    Thanks again!
