SSD M.2 storahci 129 and disk 153 problem
Hi,
last week I bought an L450 with a 128 GB Transcend SSD connected to the M.2 port. I've installed win 8.1 pro directly on the SSD. Unfortunately the system is lagging quite a lot. It always shows "not responding" in the windows bar and is freezing for several seconds.
In the Windows event log there are mainly two problems appearing: "storahci 129" and "disk 153"
I assume it has to do with the SSD. In the manual I read that it is not recommended to install the OS directly on the M.2 SSD. After the guy in the shop where I bought my notebook told me that there won't be any problems, I installed Windows on the SSD though. I think this topic is related to my issue but the given solution doesn't work for me:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Inability-to-format-a-22GB-Toshiba-SSD/ta-p/1...
Could I solve this problem by installing windows on my harddrive? But I would prefer a solution for that I don't need to reinstall windows.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
and welcom to the community.
Both scenarios look as real. Have a look at my signature and compare. You can even consider m.2 SSD 22x42mm 256 Gb drive, those disks are available already.
The disadvantage of item A is more cost of 42 mm m.2 SSD vs 2.5" SSD with the same capacity. Also you'll lost capability to add m.2 wwan card (LTE, for instance).
QM77 chipset, t431s is based on, has 2 channels sata III (6 Gbps) - one for the primary drive, another one for the docking connector. So m.2 slot is connected to the channel that supports sata II specification (3 Gbps). It means laptop with SSD in the primary 2.5" slot should work faster then one with SSD in m.2 slot. In theory. In fact the difference in real applications isn't sensitive.
Use bootable USB stick with OS image for its installation.
Regarding recovery capability it depends whether you are planing to have dual boot machine. Since I don't know easy way to keep recovery option for both win OS. In terms of "recovery" I mean to perform recovery to the factory state. So, pls, specify what'd you like to have.

New Mac with major permission and disk-write problems
Right, so I'm pretty new to Mac, after getting my first Mac computer (a 17-inch MacBook Pro) at the end of January this year. It's been great so far and I love the thing, but I've suddenly encountered some crazy problems which I'm pulling my hair out over because I have tried everything to fix them, and have had no luck.
I'll try to include as many details as possible, and I'm prepared to bear with anyone who asks me about something I've alrady tried, just so I can get this sorted.
Okay, so first of all, the main problem seems to be with permissions, mostly with disk-write permissions. Any apps that I want to install that required keychain access will no longer install. I enter my keychain password, hit Return, and the dialog box closes without continuing. So I hit "Install" again and it becomes a never-ending cycle of entering my password to no avail. Now, this happens with ANY application that requires keychain access to install. It is not limited to any particular application. I know my password is right because the box closes, and if I enter it wrong, the dialog box shakes because it is incorrect.
Furthermore, it seems keychain access is problematic in other apps. If I want to authenticate something, it will do the same thing as I mentioned before, meaning I get nowhere with the application.
From here, it gets worse. If I download something (anything), then restart my computer, it is still there. As it should be. However, if I delete an APPLICATION (not just any file) OR change preferences for some programs (one in particular that I specifically don't want starting up on.... startup), including through System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items, they will not save. This is driving me insane. For instance, I downloaded some free apps from the Mac App Store to try out, but decided I didn't want them. I tried to deleted them from the app folder and succeeded. Emptied trash. Gone. Restart, and.... they're back? So I tried to uninstall them via the Mac App Store, once I found you could do that. Again, it didn't work. Any Login Items preference changes don't stay after a restart.
Originally, none of this was a problem and everything was working fine. The first sign that something was wrong would be Apple Mail often asking for passwords, usually for my Hotmail accounts, saying that they were rejected by the server (but are correct passwords, I get the emails from the accounts, and the passwords are always accepted once I type them in, only to be asked for them some time later on for no apparent reason). At the time, I tried to repair the keychain, tried deleting and recreating the mail account entries and what not, but nothing helped. It still happens, but at the time, it was more of a niggly thing than an outright problem.
I should also mention that I did use BootCamp to install Windows 8 on a small partition, but after I couldn't boot back into Mac (I didn't realise you had to use the Option key whilst booting), I found out that you had to hold the Option key to get back into Mac, then used BootCamp to get rid of Windows. Everything was fine so far. Until I decided to reinstall Windows 8 with BootCamp. This is where things started going wrong. I decided to install a bootloader to make it easier for me to boot between the two systems. I was tossing up between rEFIt and Chameleon, and decided that rEFIt would be the best for my needs. So I downloaded and installed it, which seemed to go fine. Until I restarted. Mac would endlessly load (the spinning grey dots with the Apple logo).
Now, I actually managed to fix this, but I should probably go into more detail. First of all, holding the option key and selecting my Mac partition would allow me back into Mac, and same with Windows 8. At this point, I decided to uninstall Windows 8 to try fix my problems, except now BootCamp was giving me errors. I believe it was something about being unable to unmount the disc, but it may have been a different error. I don't entirely remember. So then I decided to try getting rid of rEFIt. I followed the instructions on the official site but it didn't work. So then I tried deleting the files with root (sudo) access through terminal. Which also failed....
So to the Recovery partition. Booting into Disk Utilities, I repaired permissions, which worked fine, and repaired the disk. I believe I had run the disk repair a few times before to try to fix BootCamp when it stopped working. Anywaym it had worked before, but this time, it said that it was corrupted and could not be repaired. Something about needing to reinstall Mac OS X. With all my files on this computer and currently nothing to back it up with (eventually I will have something to do backups with, but it'll have to wait a few months), I'm not going to do that.
Finally, I managed to delete the rEFIt files through Terminal within the Recovery partition. I ran permission repair and disk repair again to clean anything up. Disk repair gave me the same error, but now I could get back into Mac without holding the option key on every **** boot.
Now more problems had presented themselves. I decided that the lock under Login Items was probably preventing me form successfully changing my startup items. Trying to unlock it did the same thing as I previously mentioned. Type in my password, keychain accepts it, then nothing happens. The keychain settings were already defaulted so that keychain would stay unlocked after authenticated, and all stuff like that. Using "Get Info" on anything has permissions locked and again, I cannot unlock to change them, although looking at a PDF file just now, whilst still locked, it would allow me to add or remove users, so maybe that's not completely accurate. I believe I tended to look at the system folders though, and my name wasn't under ownership, although I don't believe it was meant to be, but I was hoping that maybe that would fix the problem. I guess not.
At this time, I still had my Windows 8 partition sitting around and couldn't get rid of it. I heard of the manual way to do it through Disk Utility. I tried this in Mac OS X, and through the Recovery partition, but neither worked. An error about being unable to unmount the drive. I finally found a way to remove it. Honestly, I don't completely remember how I did it, but I believe it was through a command line, uh.... command. Now I had free space that I couldn't use to expand my Macintosh HD partition back to full size, again with the unable to unmount error. Finally, I fixed this by booting from a Mac OS X installation disc that I happened to have, and using Disk Utility off of that. After that, Disk Utility no longer gave me errors for disk repair.
However, my other problems all still remained. I had written a little list of things I found on the internet for fixing my problems. One solution was to use "resetpassword" through terminal under the Recovery partition, then select Macintosh HD and select "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs". That didn't work until I tried it through the Disk Utility on the Mac OS X installation disc. That worked, and once I was back into Mac, Spotlight started indexing again. However, nothing else had happened.
I should also mention that keychain access isn't completely non-existent for me. Setting up a new WiFi connection worked for me (that is, connecting to a new network), but now every time I connect to the network, I have to authenticate it. However, it does accept my keychain password and eventually connect.
Now, another thing on my list to try was single-user mode, and using "/sbin/fsck -fy" until everything was okay. Well, the first time, it found a bunch of errors, then fixed itself up. Then it was all okay. But nothing had changed. So trying again, I this time used ?/sbin/mount -uw /" which I believe is meant to allow writing access to the drive. Now when running "/sbin/fsck -fy", I had an error. Specifically, "Journal need to be replayed but volume is read-only".
So that's pretty much where I am up to at the moment. It seems to be a poblem with write permissions, possibly among other things. If it was Windows, I might be able to work it out easier, but being new to Mac, I'm still finding my way around. I guess this is a good learning experience, but it's not fun to have to deal with it so early on.
If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have tried many things, so if you suggest something that I have tried and possibly forgot to mention, I'll let you know, but any help is still helpful, even if only eliminating possible problems/causes/solutions.Actually you first post is so long that most people just glance at it and move on. To say the least you are very verbose.
Your problem stems from something going wrong with permissions, as you know. How and why that happen is usually a user error of some type.
You can try to repair permissions and see if that corrects it. If not I will leave other options to someone that may know more about the permission system on a Mac. -
SSD owners, Avoid Parasitic Writes and Disk Wear.
Whenever DVD drive is mounted as USB removable media I observe small amounts of disk writes in the background continuously, On regulard HDD this may not be a problem but on Flash based SSDs you may not want a process just casually use your drive as a scratch pad. When DVD drive is activated, mounted as USB removable media, you can see disk activity flashing every second or two. You can usee in performance tools disk activity disk IO and writes increase when DVD drive is mounted. The DVD drive is not actually being used, no read or write is performed to the DVD/CD drive while all this taking place.
Thinkpad W520, 2720QM, Crucial SSD M4No, let "LENOVO ENGINEERS" figure that one out. Doing enough pro bono service as it is (trouble shooting Turbo Boost problems). If you disable DVD drive in device manager the parasitic writes stop. i almost never use the DVD drive, it's basically an anchor weight for me.

Parallels and disk utility problem
ok i have parallels installed and using the boot camp partition, however the disk utility keeps changing the disk id (e.g. disk2s2) and everytime this has happens I need to edit the pvs file. Now this is a real ball ache. Can anyone tell me if there is a way of making mac os x disk utility keep the same disk id the same everytime i boot up?
Message was edited by: sam1974cheers for the reply, however I did not create a boot camp partition on the 300gb drive I wish I had now) but simply installed windows XP onto it.
here is a screen capture of the DU:
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll190/bobotheclown_gti/du.png
As you can see it currently says the 300gb WD is disk0s2, however yesterday it was disk1s2. Strange. Is there anyway of making OS X keep the disk id the same everytime I boot up? -
RAID 5 and Disk utility problems - wrong volume size for formatting
Hi ..
I seem to have an odd problem with setting up our new RAID 5 solution. We just bought the SR6600 with seperately bought Western Digital 750Gb servergrade SATA disks.
Through the console I configured the RAID set to be RAID5 with a total capacity of 2750Gb and with a volumeset of 3000Gb (4 discs capacity and 1 disc parity).
Here's the problem:
When I'm trying to format the new volume for HFS+ usage, I open Disk Utility and it shows the volume, but the capacity is only 750Gb - similar to 1 disc's capacity. I find this odd and I've searched all over the net for a solution and answer.
Please advice if anyone know of any management software, explaination, etc.
Much appreciated, thanks!I've run into the same issue with a newer PPC XServe. However, after I tried to reformat, I still only show up with the orginal size, and not the new size, even after I restarted the server and XRAID.
Did you have any success with your reformat? -
New iPod catagory and Disk access problem
OK, what is the new "Other" catagory along with the Audio Video and Games that are at the bottom of the iPod screen. It has about 80 MB of stuff on my iPod, but I have no idea what.
Also, iTunes says that Disk Access is off (Unchecked) but I can see and access the iPod as a drive. I've tried to turn it off by using the buttons but I can't even get it to reset. I have updated the iPod to 1.2. Every time I use it as a drive when I get it back home and try to update I get the "Delayed write failed" error and have to reformat the iPod so I can update it. I've given up on using it as a portable drive and just want to turn disk access off so I can charge from any computer.But I have no podcasts though. All I have is Music and Videos, no pictures, podcasts, TV Shows, Games or Movies. Although, I just checked and I do have the few games that came with the iPod.

After updating to 10.4.3, I can´t fix permissions with disk utility any longer. How does it work?
Hello Jackthequick,
If you mean that you are getting messages like the one below, then that is normal and can be safely ignored...
Hope that helps some.

Surface Pro 2 freezes briefly - storachi and disk error
Hello tech net
I am running a surface pro 2 with windows 8.1 (updates current as of 3 days ago), 4 GB RAM, 64GB HD. For the last several months the device will freeze up for about 5-10 secs multiple times per hour, and then resolve on it's own. During that
time task manager shows the disk is at 100% and event viewer will display 2 Warnings: an storachi (129) and a disk (153) error. This is in addition to a service control error (7000) that happens multiple times per second but doesn't seem to
affect performance. These freezes happen when plugged in, on battery, SDXC card installed or not, wi-fi or not, and no particular program running. It even happens when I'm not using the device if I go back thru event viewer. The 100% on disk is
not associated with any increase in process or app activity. Most of the time there are a couple 0.1MB/s demands like outlook, explorer or service host running but nothing that looks unusual when it spikes and freezes.
I am not a tech person and my online search for help has yielded a wide variety of solutions to this problem that didn't seem to be reliable fixes and sounded a little beyond my usual capabilities. Anyone know if this is fixable or do I need to send
the device back?
Thanks!Not much information here to go on. Can you supply the bdd.log file. Copy to a public share like OneDrive, and share the link.
Typically any problems with format and partition have to do with the storage driver. Are you using the latest ADK from Microsoft? As Surface Pro 2 only supports Windows 8.x, you should *only* be using uEFI mode and GPT.
THe default MDT Task Sequence will do the right thing, *however*, if you change the settings in the "FOrmat and Partition Disk" step, you are then responsible for the settings from then on.

I installed a new SSD drive in my computer and now Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium says I don't have a license. I have license. It was very expensive. I am disabled now, and I need this software working. Adobe Acrobat has been a primary tool for accommodating memory problems after a brain injury. (A car ran me down while I was out getting exercise.) I installed the SSD because I needed my management of PDF files to run faster. I called tech support for help when the software first stopped working, but they needed me to give them a number from my original disks. Because of my disability, I've been having someone come in to clean, and the shelves where I kept my software packages were cleared. I've been hunting for them ever since, but I can't look for them myself for very long at a time. Today I finally found them, but now I can't seem to contact tech support. What happened? I don't want to delete my old files because I need the setup to remain unchanged, because I don't do well with changes. I think all I should need is to have someone located the license file on drive E: and move it to wherever it is needed on the SSD drive, but I don't know what to look for.
Tech support is not normally available on weekends. You should contact them as soon as the weekend passes and pick up where you left off with them.

Where are the 270 GB of files that Finder, Disk Diag, and Disk Expert can't find?
Late 2008 MBP 2.8 C2D running Mavericks and 750 GB replacement WD HD. This is what I see when checking storage. Finder and disk utlitities don't see anything that big, only the files that correspond with the typed files below (Audio, Movies, etc.).
Under Mountain Lion the picture below was the same looking except the size of the yellow "Other" bar was 0.0 GB.
Given the size of the files, I think they may be from when I was saving EyeTV content on my HD. I moved everything to an external drive and manually searching for EyeTV files finds nothing.
I'm planning on migrating to 240 GD SSD soon and don't want to run into space problems.
Thanks in advance!Can't seem to post screenshot so no attachment.

Kernel Panic PERSISTS :/ after multiple Disk Warrior and Disk Repairs
Hey guys, I need your wisdom!
My OS took a dump on me the other night. Finder froze up and when I restarted, I got this at boot up, (see below, after my whole explaination as to what I've tried).
So, I bought an external drive, partitioned and installed Mavericks OS, along with Disk Warrior.
I ran through everything on DW and it seemed to find issues and repair the problems. Then I ran it through Disk Utility and it all checked out, "ok".
However, when I went to restart with my main OS, it gave the kernel panic error, again.
I'm frustrated, needless to say. I've repeatedly tried to rebuild the drive, repair disk permissions, etc, and every time it seems to "work" but it doesn't.
I am running a data recovery program and it's seeming to find all my files there. But, I really want to just try to resolve this problem to access the drive and do a backup from within.
Please, what are you thoughts on this?

Um, so what about the TM backup, will it not transfer over the kernel panic errors?
Target Disk Mode requires a second Mac. It puts a "bad" Mac which may have hardware issues and cannot boot properly, in a mode where the internal drive can be mounted on a second Mac as an external Thunderbolt/Firewire drive.
1. Power cycle Kernel-Panic MAC (KP-MAC) in TDM by holding the T key at the chime. If you see a floating FW symbol, then the KP-MAC is in TDM.
2. Use a second Mac (Good-MAC) and connect the KP-MAC via Thunderbolt/FW cables as appropriate. This may require a TB-to-FW adapter, a FW800-to-FW400 "gender-bender" and an appropriate cable.
3. Once the KP-MAC drive is visible on the G-MAC, you can either create a full disk image backup of the KP-MAC Disk.
4. You can also configure an external drive as a TM target and backup KP-MAC's internal drive via TM with appropriate TM Options.
5. In this case the KP-MAC OS is not in use, just the hardware/firmware which is required to put it in TDM.
This can be useful when your graphics card or display may not work properly, but the CPU/Memory/Disk ar relatively unaffected.
How do I even do a TM backup on that original drive from my temp OS?
As suggested earlier, TM can be used.
Linc suggested using Disk Utility and doing it that way to make a backup and then transferring over everything to a newly installed OS that way.
In TDM, if a TM backup is not possible, for any number of reasons, Disk Utility can create an image of KP-MAC's drive which can be moved to any desired location and files can be extracted as necessary.
Another option is to create an external bootable OS on a USB/FW disk, boot from it, assuming that KP-MAC can be booted and does not have significant HW issues, and create a Disk Image to an external disk destination.
It's almost 15 years of my life on there.
Hence the need for a very good backup/restore strategy. -
Caching, SSD's, improving RAM preview and rendering in After Effects CC
I've read a few posts and looked at some of the optimising After Effects for performance posts but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on settings for helping getting the best performance out of After Effects for my setup. I'm like to be able to explore more advanced effects like Trapcode and things like that but for them to preview and render as quickly as I can... as I'm sure we all do.
I have a 12 Core Mac Pro 2012 with 64GB RAM, a SSD that I use just for the system, a 4TH HDD for all my files and projects and 2 new SSD's that I installed today that I thought I would use as a cache disk and and a disk for my renders.
I decided this based on these guidelines that I found:
My Media and disk cache settings:
If I set the Conformed media disk as another disk separate from my cache is that good for rendering and previews?
My memory and multiprocessing details are as follows:
Installed RAM: 64.00 GB
Current RAM Usage: 3.26 GB
Allowed RAM Usage: 48.00 GB
Process ID
Application Name
Min Needed Memory
Max Usable Memory
Max Allowed Memory
Current Memory
Current Priority
548
After Effects
0.40
64.00
48.00
3.26
1 - High
Video preview, I'm not entirely sure what this is for, can anyone explain please?
I've only just discovered the Cache Work Area in background option shown here:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-after-effects-cs6/global-performance-cache/
That's going to help massively!
Just how much faster would things run with a new graphics card installed? Say a Nvidia Quadro K5000 for Mac? Is a GPU it worth investing in?
Current I just have this setup:
ATI Radeon HD 5770:
Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 5770
Type: GPU

PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 1024 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x68b8

So, any tips that people think might help me speed things up and get the best out of After Effects CC would be very much appreciated.

How should i allocate the right RAM and disk space to windows through boot camp or parallels ?
i am trying to understand how you need to set things up when trying to run windows from a mac ( using bootcamp / parallels ). i want to understand the implications around RAM.
i have a mac with 1terra SSD and 16 GB of RAM, and if i want to install windows i need to partition and allocate memory and disk space for windows.
now i would be running on windows :
cad 2015
revit / rhino
photoshop and some other graphic softwares
so my questions are:
how do i decide how much space should be allocated to windows and once i decide that, can i change it later ?
how do i decide what RAM should be allocated to windows. and can i also change that in the future ?
now lets say i allocated 8 GB of RAM for winddows using bootcamp, does that mean that every time i log into my mac through OS, it will only be using 8GB of the total RAM ?
here's my last question : i have my parallels software yet to be installed, just as the windows 8 software. now should i use bootcamp to install windows ? could i install windows using parallels ? if yes which is better to use ?oliverfrombeirut wrote:

1. Windows needs 60GB for good performance, add the needs of the apps you intend to use and I would say no less than 100GB. (it can be changed later but it is not an easy task unless you pay for Camp Tune)
2. You do not allocate Ram to Windows in Boot Camp. Windows will use all of it (64bit Windows) or 4GB (32bit Windows)
3. See 2
4. Use Boot Camp, Parallels will not allow Windows to run at full speed.
General Notes:
1. Make a complete backup of your Mac before you start! (do not skip this)
2. Read the Boot Camp directions, then read them again. -
My new SSD drive and my new problems
Hello, I have a macbook pro.
It dates back to 2010.
At the start of this summer my harddrive started too make dying noises. (source: right down corner of the laptop) Cracking and buzzing.. It is broken.
I let the poor thing sleep in the closet until I came back from holiday and decided to replace the Harddrive with an upgrade: an SSD.
To be specific, this is what's on the back:
SAMSUNG SSD (250GB)
840 Series
SATA 6Gb/s compatible with 3Gb/s
3-core MDX Controller
Toggle DDR 2.0 NAND Flash Memory
LPDDR2 SDRAM Cache Memory
AES 256-bit Encryption
Magician Software
Data Migration Software
!!! might be an important detail: I don't care about data migration, because i put all i needed in backups on an external drive ( not with time machine ).
Here's what I did:
I replaced my old drive with an SSD, following 5 youtube videos. And it all seemed very easy. ( Open, plug out, plug in, close. )
I let an apple employee put mountain lion on an new bought USB stick for me.
I insert the USB into my laptop which now has an SSD
I start up the laptop holding down the "alt" key.
Here´s what happens:
Selecting the USB during the startup brings me to a grey screen, which contains:
A flashing apple logo
A flashing icon of a map with a question mark covering the icon
A flashing close icon ( it looks like this Ø )
This flashing of icon and logo's takes a random order and doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
Any information is welcome, because right now I'm using a PC and I don't like it.
Regards, WesselYou'll have to use your original system discs that came with your Mac, install that OS (Probably Snow Leopard) Update SL to 10.6.8 from Software Updates then go to the Mac App Store and upgrade back to Mountain Lion.
Start the system and insert your original OS X reinstall DVD. Reboot the system and hold down the Option/Alt key to get the one time boot selection screen. Select the DVD drive and disc inserted into it. Go through the initial setup questions, Language and whatnot, then select the Utilities menu item and Disk Utility from that list. Partition the drive as one partition with a partition table of GUID, Name the partition Macintosh HD and the format should be Mac Extended (Journaled). Click the Apply button.
Once that is done continue with the SL install and updating. -
Firefox is a very busy piece of software. It's using large amounts of CPU time and disk access. It puts my usage at low priority, so I have to wait for some time to be able to use my pointer or keyboard. I don't know what it uses all that CPU and disk access time for, but it's of no use to me. It often takes off with massive use of resources when I'm not doing anything, and I may not have use of my pointer for several minutes. How can I shut down most of this so I can use the browser to get my work done. I just want to use the web site access part of the software, and drop all the extra. I don't want Firefox to be able to recover after a crash. I just want to browse with a minimum of interference from Firefox. I would think that this is the most commonly asked question.
Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources
