[Solved] GE70 2PE Setting Up Super RAID

Hi
I recently purchased the GE70 2PE Apache Pro. At the time there was only stock of the standard unit without the mSata RAID Drives so I made the purchase with the intention of installing them later.
I now have 2x 240gb Crucial mSata Drives in striped RAID with 128k.
I can mirror my bootable info from the 1TB HDD and get the drive letter switched over so that the RAID is the C: and the disk management shows it as a bootable drive but windows will not boot from the drive (it seems to boot from the new HDD F: as it appears that the boot time is no faster.)
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

Of use, I used this guide to help me setup the mSata (all copyright to the author). Some of the BIOS settings were very different to the MSI BIOS and possibly where I went wrong and had to go through the low level format...

Best of luck to all who attempt this. It's well worth it and I would struggle through it all again to get the advantage.

MSI Gaming GE70 2PE(Apache Pro)+Super Raid SDD?

Hello guys.. i need help about this particular Laptop...im about to buy it in portugal...and my question is...Is possible to Upgrade de internal hard drive with the Super Raid SSD?.. i mean.. this pc have the slots to instal the two SSD? apart form the HDD 1000Gb...like other models.. that already have the x2 SSD + 1HDD included.
I know that this model only have 1 disk the 1000HDD...just wondering if is possible to instal a Super Raid SSD on it..
Thanks

super raid SSD is only a function in laptop so any SSD should work as long it meets slots type like if it has msata then it's msata that counts for SSD or if it has M.2 msata or w.e new version is called then you gota make sure you buy that and so on.
Update: what i can see is that your model has 2x msata slots so you would need to buy 2x msata also you do need 2 screws since msata does not come with screws.

[Solved] ge70 2pe apache pro touchpad problem

hey, my msi ge70 2pe apache pro when connect with a mouse, its touchpad cannot function.. what's the problem??

Like IronHide said, it's a default setting which disable the thouch-pad while a external mouse is plugged in.
But you can change this setting in the mouse properties.
Right click on the touch-pad icon in the notification area> Properties of Touch-Pad>ELAN page>Un-click the "Disable when external USB pointing device plug in>Apply

Does the MSI GT60 Dominator PRO 2PE have super raid 2 option ?

Does it have those 3 x msata ssd slots in it even though the model just comes with 1tB HDD ?
Does it come with this super raid 2 adapter ?

GE70 2PE Apache Pro with unstable ping in dota2

Hi, I've just recently bought a GE70 2PE Apache Pro bout a month. Brand new laptop with only steam and dota2 install. Having this anoying problem with the unstable ping and spike in dota2. The ping goes from 80ms to 400ms + in seconds and comes back down to 90 again. This lag happens every 15 to 20 seconds. Warrantty changed a new wifi-card but still this problem wasnt fixed at all. Game seems to be fine with lan cable on. Wifi router connection stable and fine.
Any suggestions or what is causing this problem?:mad:

I am currently running with the setting like Tobi said since i get my computer which is a week ago. But it does not help or solve the issue. In Malaysia, I do not know whether the router(you mentioned) in our market or not. Between, I have run some ping test and sent over the results to MSI. Well, they will collect my laptop and take it back for some test. So, if they gave me a proper solution, I will inform here. Quote from: hch;111131
LAN does not related to the wireless connection, so there will be no influence even if the LAN can work properly.
The settings from Tobi should help improving the situation.
(I've seen many people from other forums talk about those settings fix their issue.)
Have you tried using a router which supports the 802.11n or 802.11ac?
Intel AC wireless adapter is quiet new to the market and according to your router information, both router only supports 802.11 b/g. It's possible that they have some compatibility issues with the ac adapter.
There are many people talking about the performance of the AC wireless adapter and apparently for now, its best performance can be presented when connecting to the ac router in 5GHz bandwidth.
Another thing you might want to have a look on:

Since you're using the 4G hotspot, make sure that you keep the metered connections OFF to prevent any restrict data usage.

BIOS update under RAID0 - MSI GE70 2PE Apacho Pro

Hi
I've seen a BIOS update in this site:
w ww.msi.com/support/nb/GE70-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
Version E1759IMS.526
I have an older version dated as May.
The last time I updated the BIOS I had to do a factory restore from recovery DVD's and lost all my data because the RAID0 setup disappeared (I have two 128 GB SSD HDD's set on a RAID0 array), no matter if I entered the BIOS and changed the thing back to RAID0, it wouldn't recognize any existing RAID0 setup.
a) What steps do I have to follow to update the bios without any problems/recovery etc. from the UEFI bios upadte feature? (if it's possible?
b) Why if I use Live Update 6, it won't show the BIOS update available?
Thanks in advance, cheers.

Hello guys,
- Just use UEFI BIOS update to securely update your BIOS. It will check if you are using the right BIOS file, so that's why I'm saying "securely". Follow the instruction on the screen to choose the BIOS file and it will automatically update it. After the updating, do a power off/on cycle and it's done.
- Updating BIOS won't destroy the RAID information.
- Live Update 6 is the utility for MSI "MAINBOARD", not for MSI "LAPTOP".

Setting up a RAID 0 between the Mini's internal HD and an external

Would it be possible to set up a RAID 0 between two hard drive, one being the internal drive of the MacMini and the other being an external firewire drive?
Would these two drive have to be configured outside of the computer in external enclosure and then one transplanted into the mac mini, or will the operating system allow this to be set up between the two drive?

Yes you can RAID the internal Mac mini 2.5" hard drive with a FireWire external, but a striped RAID set is always limited by the speed of the slowest drive and the size of the smallest drive.
As such I would not expect much of a performance gain and you would have to erase your internal drive to create the striped RAID set while booting from a 3rd drive to setup the RAID0.
Using a FW boot drive will give you increased performance. You can see details here:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/max/
Or if you really want to speed up the Mac mini read about the AMUG Super-mini project which uses 3.5" SATA hard drives. It was tested in single and RAID0 configurations on the internal ATA/100 IDE bus of the Mac mini

GE70 2PE - Issue with an external monitor

Hello there,
First of all I want to apologize for my english language, since Iam from non-English speaking country.
Few days ago I just got new MSI Laptot GE70-2PE series. Iam not so experienced with using a laptops at all, I was using a desktop pc whole time.
When I actualy tried to plug in my external monitor(via HDMI), nothin happened, not even a display flashed or anythin else and monitor just show that it got no signal. So I have tried almost everythin what I found on the internet and nothing work...
While I was trying to solve the problem I have disabled a driver for Intel HD graphic and then turned it back on(while I had still plugged monitor into laptop) and suddenly my external monitor get the signal and turned on. In my humble opinion something is wrong with driver for Intel HD graphic ?
If any1 could help me I would be really happy.
Thanks

https://communities.intel.com/thread/28044?start=0&tstart=0
Kind of looks like it's a problem with the Intel Driver by the looks of that thread..... I'm not sure there is much else we can do other than the workaround that you found and the ones posted in that thread.

Set up a RAID 1 with four Hard disks with DiskUtility

I have a Sonnet Fusion-500 RAID enclosure with four hard disks of 500 GB (2TB total) connected to a Power Mac G5 (2x2.3 GHz, 2GB RAM, MacOSX 10.4.8) through a Sonnet Serial ATA PCI express card (Tempo E4P model). Since I have a total capacity of 2 TB, I would like to set up a RAID 1 (mirrored) and combine the four drives in a final working volume of 1GB, (and the remaining 1GB in the mirror volume). I've been trying to setup the RAID with DiskUtility, but I cannot get a working volume of 1 GB (only 500 GB -the size of a single disc-). Can anybody please give me some help in setting up this type of RAID?
The four 500 GB discs are OK, since I can create a RAID 0 (~ 2 TB) or initialize them al individual drives without problems.
Power Mac G5 (2x2.3 GHz & 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Glad I could help.

SUPER RAID 2 HELP

Hello,
I recently bought GT70 Dragon Edition (2202). It includes 128 GB mSATA SSD (SK Hynix)I want to add 2 more mSATA (maybe Samsung Evo (2x128GB). So my questions are:
Can I make super raid with 1 Hynix ssd and 2 Samsung or I have to buy 3 from same type (this will be lame, it will not make sense of having 128GB already)
How to copy my Windows from the Hynix sata to the new Super Raid 2.
Thank you in advance, please help me

well what i read around on this forum is No if you have 2 samsung evo and 1 hynix it may not function as good together it is then recommended for you to buy 3 samsung evo instead for it's best preformance and stability secondly to solve on how to get windows from exisiting SSD would be runing burnrecovery tool that would create recovery image for you either for dvd, usb or as .iso parts such as dvd.iso dvd1.iso and so on that you would need to burn as discs but best would be doing USB one on 32GB USB but you can make iso ones as well incase you lose USB or so.

GT70 question (Super Raid card)

Hello All!
Quick question, I'm interested in the new GT70 2PE-1069NL (1x 128GB msata SSD) or the GT70 2PE-1063NL (2x 128GB msata SSD).
Now, I'm wondering if the 1069 already features a Super RAID 2 expansion bay, so I can add my own msata SSD if I want to.
The difference between the two is €200,- and I'm wondering if it's worth the RAID 0 setup and the 4GB RAM extra. The 1063 also features a Blu ray player, but I won't use that.
Also, what msata SSD is in the 1069 and 1063?
Thanks in advance!

Most likely they BOTH have the mSATA SuperRaid2 card.
For the €200, I would go for it. 4 GB more RAM, another 128 GB SSD, and a blue ray player to me makes it worth it.
No idea regarding what SSD or chipset it uses. It can vary from notebook to notebook since they will (most likely, I don't know this for sure...just guessing) probably buy whatever they can get for the cheapest.
Most likely it will be a SF2281 based card though. Atleast, that's my guess.

New MSI GE70 2PE laptop screen not turning on/potential graphics problem

Hi all,
This is very frustrating for me!
I've just bought a brand new MSI GE70 2PE gaming laptop for my partner and turning on causes the power on light to blink blue and orange - something i'm struggling to find any information online for. The screen remains black with no backlight or turning on. I have tried plugging the laptop through VGA into my monitor and it also says it cannot pick up any signal.
This is leading me to think it is some sort of graphics related problem. The disc drive is ejecting, I can hear the processor ticking along and all the fans etc are on - so it's not completely dead.
The fan is actually pumping out fairly warm air too, when left idle which to me seems a little odd too - I wouldn't thought it would be struggling at this point.
I have no idea what is going on, if the laptop is completely faulty or its something I am overlooking. It's supposedly 'brand new' - well the box was sealed and this problem has occurred from the first time I have tried to boot it.
I've tried running it on battery, purely on AC and this doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any ideas people? This is super frustrating and I don't want to have to get in contact with MSI about this for some sort of warantee job.
Thanks in advance!

Hello hybridoriental,
Since your laptop is still brand new one under the warranty, I'll suggest you send it to the MSI service centers or MSI authorized service points for inspections.
The power light in orange means the system is accessing the discrete GPU. Looks like your laptop stuck in a loop before it started the BIOS. Just make sure you installed the battery and plugged the AC power before you turn it on. If it still doesn't work, it would be better and time-saving to send it to someone whom can inspect and take care of the laptop rather than figure it out by yourself.

GE70 2PE secondary monitor resolution issue

So I bought a MSi GE70 2PE yesterday and today I tried connecting it with my tv with HDMI, which has worked fine both with my stationary computer as well as other computers, using the same cable.
Today however when i plugged it into this laptop I got a low 1024 resolution on my tv and the settings for resolution wont allow me to change it to any higher and can't duplicate the screen and extention of screen isn't working properly either as all of my screen apparently can't fit into the 1024 resoltuion, trying to bypass this by changing the resolution while plugging in the HDMI cable the TV just turned black and no sound was transmitted with the HDMI cable.
As far as I can understand for some unknown reason the secondary monitor uses the intel integrated graphics card, I've update the drivers both for this and for the nvidia card.
As for updated drivers, yes all is updated and have tried the general common solutions, the computer was bought yesterday so having a hard time understanding how this can't work properly.
Thanks in advance for any solution.

Actually there is some more questions according to your post:
1. Does the notebook display normally when it's not connected to any external monitor?
2. Where did you change the resolution when you try to bypass the issue? In Intel's graphics properties? or on TV?
3. How did you set the duplicate mode? by using Fn+F2 or WIN+P?

MSI Z87-G45 Super Raid setup questions

I have a MSI Z87-G45 board and two SSD's. I have never setup raids before but plan to do so. I saw there is a app to install for Super Raid. I thought I had to setup raid before installing windows? Seeing the app is something I can download from the MSI Live Update app it makes me think I can setup this up after windows has been installed. Is this correct?
If not how do I go about setting up Raid? I don't mind reinstalling windows if I need to. I did not see raid options in the Bios.
Thank you

I bet that mSATA is controlled By that same controller and so you cant use some of your SATA port same time as you use those mSATA cards, SSDs,...
To need to get in BIOS and change to RAID makes it kinda HW RAID and so that "Best Solution" is kinda wrong. As you can format it in current Windows, but you need to reg edit before or you get Blue Screen and so cant get in OS.
You have had allways chanse to use diffrent drives like HDD's and SSD's in mix When they have same data cable like SATA. The speed and size, go like allways higer rules.
I need to read more in to this Super RAID. But i ges you arent in useing mSATA, so use it like normal HW RAID and get real intel drives for it (in USB stick) before os install and install them on screen you choose your drive. That way you dont need to update them after install
Have great Hollydays! Cheers Mummy
