  • Will my DV7-6c95dx except an SSD without modification and is it SATA III compatible?

    Hi:
    Or does it need an adaptor of some sort.
    Win7
    If it's not SATA III compatible (vs earlier versions)  would this be a valid reason to consider NOT installing and SSD? 
    And one last question:
    This computer has a display different from any LCD that I've encountered before. The contrast adjustment in the Intel Graphics window seems to almost seem a gamma adjust with "washout" happening with very small moves of the slider to the right..
    Normal for this machine?

    Hi,
    No, I don't agree with this because SATA III is backward compatible. Yes, you can't get SATA III speed but you can see huge improvement specially boot & shut down time, copy files, photoshop .... in comparision with a normal 7200RPM HDD.

  • Is dv6-6135dx SATA III compatible​?

    I upgraded my dv6-6135dx to a OCZ Agility 3 SSD, but am only getting SATA II speeds. I know the chipset supports SATA III, but did HP choose not to support it? Will there be a BIOS update to turn it on?

  • SSD Upgrade - SATA III Compatible Macbook Pro 2009

    Hi there,
    Just wondering if someone could clarify this for me please:
    Looking to upgrade to an SSD, a high end model. I want to spend around £250, but I'm not after lots of GB's as I'll be happy to move my media to an external drive, which is what currently uses 90% of my HDD space.
    Anyway, I was looking into the OCZ Vertex SATA III, but after some searching around I'm not sure if the MB Pro has the ability to handle SATA III at 6GB's, so would be totally pointless paying extra for the SATA III capabilities.
    Could someone just clear this up for me please, and if anyone could suggest a make/model for me? I'm looking to spend £250 tops, although like I said, i'll settle for little storage space. I'm really after just the quickest one I can find for that price. Looking to upgrade in time for a clean install of Lion, then I can take a lightening quick MB with me when I start med school in September!
    Thanks guys!
    Harrison

    Unfortunately, without your actual Mac model how can we tell if it supports 6 Gb/s SATA?  You can check the specs for your model at support.apple.com/specs/.

  • Is HP dv6-1220sp SATA III compatible

    hello, i bought a samsung 840 evo ssd disk and the Samsung magician software says that my system does not support SATA 3.
    there are any update i can make to support SATA 3 ?
    thank's in advance.

    thank again.
    If the cpu is working like that it's definitely a software issue. There could be a conflict between the SSD controller and Vista drivers..

  • Right, MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(Built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G not working, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III.

    My MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G are not working together, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III and in my MacBook Pro it does not work. 
    Now MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 built May onward do not have this problem it was fixed in the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. (So there is a problem). Cam I have my MacBook Pro fixed please.

    After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
    The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
    I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

  • SATA III for Pavilion dv7t series

    Do both hard drive slots in the dv7t series support the SATA III spec (6 Gb/Sec) ?

    MaddMaxxine wrote:
    Yeah, I've been researching this subject, and it seams that this situation can occur if they used a SATA II cable (4-wire) to connect the SSD instead of a SATA III cable (10-wire).  Apparently, you can use a SATA II cable with SATA II or SATA III devices/ports, and the connection will function at SATA II speeds.  However, a SATA III cable will not work with a SATA II device/port.
    Does anyone know if the available HDD caddy kits for dv7-6000 laptops contain SATA II or SATA III cables?
    Crap!  Everyone please ignore this.  I had my head up my butt earlier today.  This pertains to USB2 vs USB3, not SATA II vs SATA III.  There's no real difference in SATA cables.  If you look at the design specs, you will see that they are the same.  Sorry for the confusion.

  • Sata III hard drive cable compatible with older generation of macbook pro

    Would my macbook ( 17 in mid 2009 ) be compatible with a new hard drive cable ( sata III ) ? I upgraded my hard drive to Samsung Pro 840 and wanted to upgrade my sata II cable to a sata III for faster read and write. Is this possible?

    Dave The Newbie,
    replacing the cable will not increase the interface speed, just as putting racing slicks on a minivan won’t make it a dragster. I have the same model SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and my MacBook Pro’s SATA interface is limited to SATA II, just like yours. Unless you’re planning on mainly running disk-bound apps, it’s not something that you’ll need to worry about — just enjoy the SSD as is.

  • X220 msata slot compatible with SATA III

    I do have a msata II 60gb in my x220, but would like to upgrade it with a bigger model from http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT120M500SSD3 
    that one is msata III but claims to be SATA 2 compatible. 
    Will this combination work with my x220? In another blog post I read that it has major drawbacks (much slower)  to use a msata3 drive in a msata2 slot. Is that true?

    @ritzdank...
    I can't comment on Sandforce-based SSDs, but the Crucial m4 mSATA uses a Marvell controller.
    This article: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6884/ states that the m500 is also Marvell-based.
    Please post back with your impressions once you're up and running on the SSD.

  • Intel 520 SATA III SSD causes atapi errors, but stock Hatachi SATA II does not

    W520 Received March 2012. Took out stock Hatachi HTS72322A7A365 500GB SATA II drive and replaced with Intel 520-Series 240 GB SATA III SSD also put a second identical SSD in drive bay. All went well until a few days ago, now getting scores of Atapi - Event ID:11 - The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.  Either of these two SSDs bring up this error on channel 0 (underneath laptop).  NEITHER (NONE) SSD brings up the error in the drive bay.
    Put the Hatachi back and no error.  What happened over the last few days?  Hatachi SATA II no error; is there a W520 hardware problem with very high speed SATA III SSDs?  Why the degrade all of a sudden?  Bad chip set? BIOS was upgraded to latest, but still errors. Don't think there were any WIN-7 / 64 updates. 
    Call Lenovo to replace laptop?  But NO errors with the stock / supplied SATA II Hatachi, just the SATA III SSD on channel 0, but not channel 1, so do I have a claim?  Any ideas?  I'd buy the wimpy Lenovo 160GB SSD (it's approved) for channel 0, but it's SATA II not III.  SSD or W520?
    W520 4282W59 WIN-7-64 i7-2760QM @ 2.40GHz 2401 Mhz, 16GB Memory, NVIDIA Quadro 1000M

    I did a hard drive copy from the Intel 520 SSD in chanel 0 (underside laptop) to a new Samsung 830 256GB SSD in channel 1 (Ultra Bay).  Remember I get the atapi errors on channel 0 with the Intel 520 SSD in chanel 0.  The copy took longer that I thought it would.  Then I put the Samsung in chanel 0 and the Intel in chanel 1 UltraBay.  Reboot.  No atapi errors!  The Samsung DOES NEED "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing" or it performs badly compared to an Intel 520 SSD.  The Samsung (using ATTO and AS SSD) comes in at 475-495 MB/s with "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing".  It performs half that if "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing" is not checked.  The Intel SSD performs at 485-505 MB/s no matter if "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing" is checked or not.  These are general observations and are dependant on transfer size, queue depth and so forth, but this observation is repeatable.
    So, all things being equal, one might conclude that the Intel 520 SSD is not compatible with the W520.  NO.  NOT.  I put that Intel 520 SSD back into chanel 0 and booted up.  Again see atapi errors.  Next I did a complete software update from lenovo.  Checked and installed all updates, recommended, critical, so forth.  Ended up with all that bloatware.  Big battery and Wi-Fi icons on notification area task bar...  Ran the ATTO and the AS SSD in parallel.  No atapi errors.  Disk rates way up there at 500 MB/s.  Ran MalwareBytes in parallel with MS Security Essential in parallel with ATTO in parallel with AS SSD.  No atapi errors and still great disk rates. 
    Nest removed as much Lenovo bloatware as possible. Reboot.  Still NO ATAPI ERRORS.  The Intel 520 SSD is better than the Samsung 830 looking at AS SSD and ATTO, but the Samsung is quite respectable.
    Solved? Yes mostly.  I took another Intel 520 SSD that was always used as a one for one copy of my chanel 0 Intel 520 SSD.  I put this other, identical copy, Intel 520 SSD in chanel 0 and again saw atapi errors.  I upgraded Lenovo software, but only the one critical update (Intel ACHI SATA Driver 11.2.0.1006).  Reboot. No more errors, BUT this (identical copy) Intel 520 SSD only works at SATA 2 rates.  ATTO and AS SSD never go higher than 250 MB/s.
    I will keep trying and get to the bottom of this.  Maybe I'll install all that other Lenovo updates and see if the "copy" Intel 520 SSD goes up to 500 MB/s.  Maybe I'll just copy the "working 500 MB/s" Intel 520 SSD to the "copy" Intel520 SSD but this is like giving up.  Jimbetto, I would recommend doing what I did.  Install ALL Lenovo updates and see if your problems go away.  Or, copy to a Samsung 830 and then see if your problems go away.

  • Yoga 13 Supports 500gb Boot drive but not running as SATA III?

    Hi All,
    I had previously installed a 250gb Plextor drive in the second mSata slot and upgraded the RAM to 8gb in my Yoga 13 IdeaPad which I purchased early in 2013. I followed the installation instructions and guidance offered by the Community so thanks to all who posted and other than the occasional skipped heartbeat as I removed cables it went well.
    As SSD prices are now dropping I decided to try adding a Samsung 840 EVO 500gb. I was a little skeptical about taking the chance after reading the comments posted here and elswhere regarding the 256gb "ceiling" for both slots but decided "no pain, no gain" and went ahead anyhow.
    I'm happy to report ( I think) that I was able to install the drive. First, in the secondary slot and then finally, as the boot drive in the primary slot. I had originally installed it in the 2nd slot after removing the Plextor drive and leaving the original 128gb boot in place. I entered the bios and it was recognized, I saved the settings and then initialized and formatted the drive with the disk management tool. No problems.
    I then wanted to move the Plextor drive to the primary so that I would have a larger boot drive. Since the old primary was a Samsung I though I might be able to use the Samsung migration utility to clone the old boot drive to the Plextor. Following suggestions from others I put the Plextor into slot one and then put the old boot drive into an external usb3 housing.  I tried several times to boot from the old boot drive through the usb but couldn't get it to work so I reinstalled the old boot drive back into slot 1.
    Just for kicks I ran the migration utility with the Plextor attached though the usb. It didn't recognize the plextor drive but it did offer the option to clone to the 500gb in the second slot. I figured I had nothing to lose so I went for it. The clone finsihed and I then swapped the 500 gb into slot 1, put the plextor back into slot 2, started the bios, verified the drives were present and that the 500gb was the boot, and saved the changes. Presto, it booted just fine and everything appears to be ok. However...
    Went I started the Samsung performance tool it told me that my drive was not connected to a sata III controller. The performance benchmark would back that up as my read/write and iops performance are pretty poor compared to what I was hoping. I've confirmed that the Intel C216 chipset that is installed does indeed support sata III 6gbs rates but the drive doesn't seem to think so.
    There doesn't appear to be anything posted on the board about the controller or any similar issue - can anyone offer some guidance?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Well dont worry as to whether the Tranfer Mode is Reporting you S-ATA Drive at, as the UDMA Modes do NOT apply to S-ATA Drives, so if it is Reporting UDMA-5 or UDMA-6, there is No Difference with the Transfer speeds as far as S-ATA Drives are concerned........And I would Try to Enable the RAID Option in the BIOS, If indeed you are running a RAID Array ...............Sean REILLY875

  • Macbook Pro 2011 do not support SATA III?

    Macbook Pro 2011 do not support SATA III?

    Yes, they do, sort of! It's funny because I was about to complain about my THIRD 2011 MacBook Pro and while SATA III works fine in the main hard drive bay, it will not let me put a second SSD into the optical drive bay for a RAID 0 solution. This affects all 15" and 17" MBP's, but strangely enough, it works just fine on the 2011 13" MBP's. GRRR! This is so infuriating.

  • Xpower not recognizing Crucial SATA III 256GB SSD

    Or well, sometimes.
    Setup:
    Xpower MB
    Rosewill 950 watt Power
    6 GB (Soon 2 be 12) Corsair 1600 ram, 9/9/9/24
    Gigabyte ATI 5970 (Soon to be 2)
    Crucial SATA III 256GB SSD, AHCI Mode
    Some crappy SATA II DVDR drive
    I have RMA'd the drive once already, and have also had to RMA the ram... RAM was definitly the biggest problem. The new drive has the latest Crucial BIOS that fixes the corruption problems. I kind of feel I have had to RMA more than I've used on this stinking system, LOL!
    Anyway... on to the issue. On SATA II everything runs fine. SATA III works ok most of the time. For some reason SATA III misses the SSD drive (Only thing hooked up to SATA III) every once in a while on boot up. Usually this is after a cold boot. Like, litterally cold.... as in system has been off for a couple of hours. Usually on reboot or within minutes of being turned off it's usually OK. Once it's not recognized, you just restart and it then comes up normal.
    Hooked to SATA II, no such problem. Boots everytime.
    Maybe the best bet is to get an aftermarket SATA III Controller...? I've read that the Marvell controller is kind of a dog.
    Suggestions as to what to try beyond the obvious? (Cables, both power and SATA III/6Gbs, switching to the other SATA III port)
    Thanks in advance! I hope I included enough relevant info, but if you need more I'll do my best to find it!

    Bad idea.  AHCI is multiple simultaneous read/writes - really bad for an SSD.  IDE is fine unless RAID is being used.
    This was a lesson to me too. Quote is from Aaron in another thread.
    Added: Rather than just give up & get a different SATA 6Gb/s controller, get a ticket in with MSI Tech Support. That's the only way the board can be made to work right. Maybe try the 1.4b5 bios. If you are running the 1.2 bios, you will more than likely have problems trying to run 12GB RAM anyway. Are you 'sure' you even need 12GB RAM? I can run Crysis with just one 2GB stick without any problem on my testing rig (Crucial CT25664BA1339).

    This has been reported by others about a cold boot issue & the reboot is ok. Now, for sure, a ticket needs to get in to Tech Support. They need to figure out what is causing this.

  • P55A-GD65 Can not see Sata III drive

    I can not get the bios to see my 250gig sata III. I have it connected to sata#7 white connector.
    I tried to first see it, no go. I am trying to fresh install w7 hp upgrade 64bit to my new sata III drive. I can not find the drive. I do not know if it is bad or what?
    I set Integrated peripherals- sata 6g/s controller mode to ahci, and in on-chip ata devices raid mode set it to ahci. I tried to install w7 from disc. It just Says I have made a hardware change. Try to do a repair start or start as normal. Then said my boot sector was messed up. I pressed  reset and got into bios and set it all back to ide mode.
    It would not start normal. But from page it says try w7 disc etc. I told it to start windows normally it did, I have rebooted So I guess it fixed the boot sector..
    I am not sure what to do. I can not find the drive, and no place in my bios can I find the sata 7-8 connectors. they are listed as 1-6 and 9.. everything skips 7-8. I am in w7 now. I could do the reg tweak. I want to fresh install w7 upgrade on my new sata III drive. then nuke this sata II and make it a storage drive..
    Maybe I need to press a key with w7 disc in  during restart. I can not figure out how to make Let me reinstall w7. I did press F6 but I did not know what to do. Upgrading from xp was pretty easy. This sata III and  mobo and w7 is a head ake. It is no simple instructions no place to make this stuff work right. Ha ha the manual is no help either.
    I do not know if maybe the drive is bad or not. I never had to do this stuff in bios just to install a drive, and then controllers 7-8 show no place. I do not know what to do..

    Follow up.
    My cam batteries are acting up. Sorry not better photo'. The second photo. I changed out my speakers set up etc, and its photo was with our cam corder, it has no flash.. The top 5.25 bay filter is a test. I need better materials to make a better 1, but it works well, not so pretty tho. If I relax the pantyhose, It looks a lot better, is black. You can not see through it, but less air flow...
    The blower box mod I made from a gutted opt drive, uses the rest of the 5.25 bay cage as the lower sides of the box. The top side, the actual gutted opt drive, I used my zig saw, cut along the sides from the top and back end. So it was free to bend down. You can not see from the photo, but it is down just above the top of the mobo tray, and extends out past the back side of the 5.25 cage. With both downward blowing air and is more compressed or moves faster because the top is bent down etc. I cut off the access on the side so not to go past the 5.25 cage. Made a face plate to mount the fan [can crank 103 cfm] to the other end of the gutted opti. It is easy in out, uses my normal case mounting gear, and is flush with the front of the case. The filter and or front cover are separate. I need to make a better filter frame. But it works. I like it for now.. My twin p160 case has the same set up, but using a 80mm face plate and fan, and being a normal 5.25 opti drive as it base, they can go case to case, most all cases have a 5.25 cage, so. I could use this on the lian li case below and just mount a normal fan filter right to the face plate..>>
    Build #2, my buds rig, was a snap to build. Not 1 fault in the entire build from- view reliability history. The large case was nice to work in.. Both systems running great and with AHCI support.
