MSI GX60 3BE and SSD/HDD (RAID0, height 7/9,5 mm)

Dear Friends
Please answer the following questions, if you don't mind:
1. Will SSD or HDD with a height of 9.5 mm will fit the MSI GX60 3BE, or only 7 mm?
2. Is it possible to use RAID 0 with 2xHDD? Are the drivers are included on the DVD, so I can install Windows 7? As far as I know during the installation of Windows 7 you need to specify the path to the drivers for RAID?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Best regards.
Sincerely

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
But it is in fact a 2.5" SSD (no typo in my first post), but has only 7.5mm height. ((There will also be some 1.8" ssd models available in the future but I ordered the now available 2.5") ). So such an adapter will not help. For this mentioned SSD-bracket, I have to wait for my x200t being shipped (hope its coming soon) but I didn't see anything like that on any ibm/lenovo accessory page.
Edit: Kind of solved itself today when I got the SSD. It's in fact 7.5mm in height but there is a small 2mm frame mounted around it (which one could unscrew, if necessary). So in the end it's a "normal" 2.5" 9.5mm device
Regards

  • MSI GX60 3BE only run PCIe 2.1 x8 5Gbit/s

    Hello,
    is it normal that the MSI GX60 3BE (8970m) run only with  PCIe 2.0 x8  5Gbit/s?
    Normaly is PCIe 3.0 x16  with 8Gbit/s.
    GPU-Z and other Programs like HWinfo show the PCIe 2.0 x8  under full load of the 8970m 
    Is it normal or something wrong in Bios options like this:

    Ok,
    now i have the answer from MSI

    Sehr geehrte/r xxxxxxx,
    vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.
    Entschuldigen Sie die späte Antwort der AMD Chipsatz hat nur PCI-E 2.0 kein 3.0
    Hinweis: Bitte antworten Sie auf diese E-Mail NUR wenn Sie weitere technische Fragen haben.

    This mean:
    The AMD Chip work only with  PCI-E 2.0 and not with  PCI-E 3.0.

  • MSI K9N2 Diamond and SSD OCZ Vertex 3

    Hello all,
    I bought an OCZ SSD Drive Vertex 3 80GB and installed it on my system. I also have 2 WD Caviar Black HDDs /1TB/ running with NVIDIA Stripe, where my OS is, and 2 other hdds. After I installed the SSD drive and rebooted the system the nvidia raid controller froze. It displays the 'Detecting disk drives' or something like that meesage and freezes there. When I disconnect the SSD drive and reboot - it detects everything and boots normally again.
    If I hot-plug is while running my OS, the SSD gets detected and works fine. But this doesn't work for me, because eveytime I reboot the PC, I must disconnect the drive... more, I wanted to install my OS there and if it doesn't get detected at reboot... it wont work. Any ideas?

    Never mind that, I changed the RAID mode to IDE (it was SATA, didn't work, AHCI didn't work either). But now it's ok!

  • MSI P45 Platinum and 6 HDDs

    Hello friends,
    i have this strange problem, i have 6 hard disks connected to ICH10R on my mobo. Everything is detected in BIOS on ICH10R. I have created these volumes:
    RAID0+RAID1 on first and second disks and other 4 disks are in RAID5,BUT:
    when my OS load, storage manager find degraded raid5 volume and missing the last (6th) disk.Someone have any ideas?Thanks in advanvce!
    My OS: Windows XP x64 SP2
    last version of the matrix driver 8.8.0.1009

    I have done some more continuous tests with intelburn test and memtest and i think already, that definitely problem is NOT CPU and RAM.
    I have done some tests on hdds and the results on all 4 disks are the same:

    There are 3 disks with fw 1AA01113 and 1 with 1AA01119. I don't know what that RAM error means (maybe disk cache), but i don't think this is the problem (the 4 disks are buyed from different time period), maybe just estool has some bug.

  • GX60 3BE - Cinema, THX problems

    Dear Friends
    I own MSI GX60 3BE and Windows 7 64. On official MSI download section of MSI GX60 3BE for Windows 7, there are:
    - THX EQ
    - THX AP
    ...but after installation, there aren't working at all. Subwoofer aren't working as well.
    I have seen that there are Cinema Pro for Windows 8 for MSI GX60 3BE. Should I download and install it even if I have got Windows 7 installed?
    In the download section of MSI GX60 3BE for Windows 8 there are:
    - Sound Blaster Cinema AP
    - Sound Blaster Cinema EQ
    I will be glad for any help and solution, how to enable subwoofer.
    Best regards.
    Sincerely

    Dear darkhawk
    You are right, but there is an easy solution for such case. MSI and other notebooks companies may add URLs to external manufacturer's download section, where we may find the newest drivers, for example: Realtek HD Audio Driver with description "If you want the most up to date drivers please check provided external URL to manufacturer's download section.".
    That's all and very easy to accomplish.
    Best regards.
    Sincerely
    That's not such an easy solution. How often do you think they change the URL's or links even? I can't count on one hand how many times the Qualcomm/Killer Networks driver links (links to the driver site, not the actual driver link) has changed. Multiply that times the 10 different parts and then multiply that times the many different notebooks and it's still a ton of work.
    I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but, and I hate putting it this way, there's a reason the notebooks are cheaper than most others with better hardware. Something has to be left out in some way. To me, personally, that's a premium service that I would expect from Sager/Clevo, Alienware, etc....where you are truly paying way more than the product is worth (IMHO).

    Most likely, no. Usually a different Electronic Controller is used for the non-backlit and backlit keyboards.
