SSD speed boot

Let's see if you can help me, I installed a ssd samsung 840 pro on my K430, I noticed that if I boot from the original disk disconnecting 2tb (cleansed of all, without oem partition recovery) does not appear at boot logo lenovo speeding many seconds of the start of the pC. just connect even the original disc logo appears again. how can it be?

hi andrea__87,
Just to verify, do you mean you get stucked at the Lenovo logo when you try to boot from the preloaded Windows 8 4bit OS on 2TB HDD? If this is the case, can you try to:
1. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F1
2.. Inside the BIOS, navigate to the Startup Tab and make sure UEFI Boot Mode is set to UEFI then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
3. If you get the same error, try to press F9 on the BIOS screen to load factory default then press F10 to save and exit. 
Let me know your findings
Cheers

  • Installing SSD increased boot up time of my Macbook Pro

    Hi all.
    I just installed a Crucial M4 256GB SSD into the Superdrive slot of my 17in MBP with a caddy. I have formatted drive and copy all files from the HDD over to the SSD but the performance is so slow on boot. Before i installed it into notebook, I had the SSD connected via a USB dock and was able to boot from it fine. However after i installed SSD into my MBP, it takes quite a while to boot up off the HDD (3-5mins). After it boots, the SSD drive would not appear  on desktop for another minute or so. When accessing the SSD, i would get the colored spinning wheel and it waits before i am able to browse SSD files.
    After installation, I then tried to set SSD as boot drive and restarted it. The MBP would not boot from SSD and then reverts to boot from HDD.
    What is causing this? It is as if it has trouble initiating SSD, however SSD seems to work off cradle and USB just fine.
    Does it matter whether I had SSD in main HDD bay or superdrive bay?
    I used SuperDuper to copy files over.
    The get info shows that the SSD is bootable.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    A SSD may not even work in the Optical bay. Some do and sopme don't. IMHO it is not the SSD used but the Optical drive and more specifically the cable and restrictions Apple places on that bay. Apple only want you to use a Slow CD/DVD drive in that bay so they use a very limited cable system and may restrict the speed of that bay in the firmware to only work with slower type disks/disc (slower HDD and or CD/DVD drives).
    EDIT:
    That should of been.
    May not Work let alone Boot a OS from a SSD in the optical bay.

  • How to use ssd as boot drive and hdd as storage on a macbook pro 13

    Does anyone know how to use SSD as boot drive and have HDD in optical bay as storage on a Macbook pro 13. I mean in that both drives work as one . by formatting using mac software . I would like to run all programs and OS but would love to have my downloads and useless data on run on my 1tb 5400rpm hdd without me have to manual send it there..

    Each drive mounts as a separate volume. There is no convenient way to make them look like one contiguous volume.*
    Franky, with an hdd and a ssd I would recommend you put your home dir on the hdd and leave the ssd for the OS and your key applications.  It's relatively easy to do and I think better than moving only portions of your stuff.

    * There are ways to to make musltiple volumes appear as one large drive but I think it is beyond the scope of this discussion and not appropriate to this configuration.

  • My SSD wont boot up

    I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO and make a copy from my MacBook Pro 13 MID 2012 Yosemite 10.10.2 With OSX using Carbon Copy Cloner. Then I boot up my SSD from the Enclosure and works fine.But when i Replaced With my HD ssd wont boot up and question mark folder appears.Its not my sata cable Because my old HD boot fine.

    gacksen, welcome to the forum,
    did you image the SSD with it inserted in your X220 or attached to another system externally or internally before inserting it into your X220?
    If the answer is that it wasn't inserted in the X220 when you imaged it, please try again with it inserted.
    You may want to re-think imaging the drive and opt for a clean install; see here and here.

  • Qosmio F60-10K and SSD Speed

    Hello I have new problem xD maybe not so big :)
    I bought Calisto Mushkin Delux SSD 240 B speed is 285/275...
    I install Windows what get with my laptop via Recovery DVDs and I put out-of-box installation , my SSD speed on benchmark is about 150/145 and not over 200 like I bought I read somewhere its not good for SSD to put IMAGE, and Toshiba Windwos Recovery CD put IMAGE on and I think this is because of this it decrease my speed of SSD.
    So quastion is how to put Speed on SSD over 200 mb is maybe solution to install some fresh Windwos 7 not out of box or ?
    Btw2... I want to crypt my SSD with TrueCrypt 7.0A ... how this decrease my SSD speed if someone know.
    Thank you all who help me, last problem what I put on this forum was resolved because nice people :) ty all !

    Hey,
    Of course you can test it with your own Windows installation but I doubt its a problem of preinstalled OS from Toshiba. I mean this image is tested and configured for your notebook
    In your case I would also check the firmware version of your SSD. Maybe there is an update for it.
    Make also sure that BIOS version of your notebook is newest one.

  • SSD for booting up

    I have boughta Envy 700-200Z computer(has nor yet arrived) but I could not buy it with a SSD for boot up purposes as this option was not available.
    Is there any special reason for this? May be this arragenment is not advisable?
    If in fact booting up with an SSD is an acceptable option, please advise about it.
    If possible where could I obtain such a device.
    Thanks in advance.

    The size limitation is for the boot drive. Unless you purchase a retail copy of windows you'll have to use the recovery media to create the image on the SSD, and when you attempt to recovery to it, it will give you that error. Your best bet is to just get a large enough hard drive 160GB and then there won't be an issue recovering to it.

  • Corsair SSD and boot speed

    Hey all,
    Rebuilt my system last week, specs are in the sig, and the initial boot times with the corsair was 7-8 seconds.  However, after a reboot a couple days ago, my boot times are now 17-20 seconds.  Nothing on my system has changed.
    I even commented out the non SSD mount points I had (additional 2TB drive) in fstab, that didn't help.

    boot time from grub to cinnamon login = 16 seconds
    So why would it take cinnamon 10 seconds to get to login screen?

    I haven't encountered this problem with any other drive I've put in there, so I'm guessing it must be SSD-related. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

  • Dumb question: Could an SSD speed up STP?

    I regularly use Soundtrack Pro on an early 2008 Mac Pro. My boot drive also has all my apps, but I record into a different internal drive. I'm wondering whether swapping that recording drive out for a SSD could speed up either/both recording and editing operations on files that average approximately 1.5 Gigabytes in size?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    David is on the right track here.
    I've been playing with some mods for an early 2008 that wants very fast throughput. We've determined that an SSD system drive will allow the computer to access system and application code at 2-3 times the "normal" speed. Assuming that all processors are suitably tasked, the system should be executing those instructions at close to full efficiency. In most cases, the applications are working towards a reduction of data for output, so the only question remaining question is how fast do the storage drives for the output need to be? In some cases, a normal SATA drive may suffice. In other cases, SATA3 or a RAID may be required to round out the package,
    Hope this helps.

  • PCI-Express Card for SSD that boots Mac OSX?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my 2008 Mac Pro with an SSD boot drive, but I want to get the maximum speed out of the SSD. Since many of the SSDs have a SATA III interface capable of 6Gb/s, I'd also like to get an internal controller that will allow me to boot into Mac OSX. Which card do you reccommend?
    Also, is there anyway to place the SSD in the lower optical drive bay of the Mac Pro? If so, what will I need to do that?
    Thanks!

    The only way to get greater than effective speed on the sata2 connection is to raid the ssd's.  Otherwise you are stuck with sata2 speeds.
    Here's a thread on sata3 pci cards in these disccussions:
    PCIe card to enable bootable SATA3 SSD on early 2008 mac pro?
    If you want to do some research in other places there are many hits on this topic when you google "sata3 pci card for mac pro".
    Also, I just recently became aware of a new pci card that OWC announced which they call Accelsior™.  It's not cheap, even for a 120GB drive.
    OWC 120GB Mercury Accelsior™
    Here's MacPerformanceGuilds' review of it.
    Basically it's a ssd on a pci card thus limited to the pci speed and not the sata speed.  Looks cool.

  • Will SSD speed up iDVD

    If so, by how much? If it's just a few percent I'll shrug and live with it, but shaving even 25% off a 4hr encode is still a full hour!

    Getting impression From the dramatic fluctuations in percentages that the CPUs are getting starved by a bottle neck at the hard drive level.

  • How to install third-party SSD as boot disk in MacPro 5,1

    I had so much trouble with this that I thought I'd post a recipe that others could follow.
    The first thing you should know is that it's not possible to get a non-Apple SSD recognized in a sled slot of a MacPro 5,1.  It just doesn't see them at all, even if (as some suggested) previously partitioned as a GUID partition (which works in a MacBook Pro, but not a MacPro 5,1).  This is true even with the most up-to-date EFI firmware.  You're going to have to use a PCIe adapter card.
    The next thing you should know is that not all PCIe SATA3 SSD adapter cards are bootable on a MacPro 5,1.  For instance, even though the Sonnet Tempo SSD is advertised as working for a boot drive in a Mac Pro, it actually works in any Mac Pro *except* the 5,1.  In a 5,1 drives on the card do not work as boot drives, either with option boot or if you select it as the startup drive after booting from something else.  Also, EFI boot is extended by about a minute -- not the end of the world, but an annoyance.  The Tempo card does work well for add-on drives, its very fast.  I am pretty sure the Tempo Pro variant of the card also does not work, as the Sonnet support guys told me that they have to use use rEFIt for booting 5,1 MacPros in their lab.  I imagine if the Pro worked they would have pointed me at that instead.  (Note that rEFIt has been superseded by rEFInd, http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/.  I didn't try using rEFIt or rEFInd because I found a better way, but if you want to dual-boot to Linux those utilities are apparently Da Bomb.)
    An Apricorn Velocity x2 Duo card *will* boot, and does not have a long EFI boot delay.  That card is a little more expensive than the Tempo SSD (but not the Tempo Pro SSD) but it works properly.  It's worth the extra money, especially since it's the only card I could find that explicitly claimed to work as a boot drive on a 5,1 MacPro.  And it does.
    One caveat: With the Tempo SSD the SSD drives were invisible until repartitioned in GUID format, which also happens if you try to use a third-party SSD inside a Macbook Pro.  I found that I could repartition one drive, a Crucial MX500 960GB, using a run-of-the-mill USB SATA2 adapter.  Unfortunately this solution did not work with a Samsung Evo 1TB drive, I had to use an external USB3 enclosure.  Moreover, the enclosure supported both FireWire and USB3 but FireWire did not work.  This FireWire issue might be due to the super-cheap enclosure I was using, so YMMV, but keep in mind that it's possible that you'll need either a USB3 expansion card in the MacPro, or a different Mac, to perform the initial repartition to GUID format.
    It's possible that SSDs would be visible on the Velocity card even before repartitioning, I don't know as both of my drives had been repartitioned prior to trying the Velocity.  So, it might work ... but you might need to partition externally.
    I don't know if pre-partitioning is necessary with the Velocity card, as I only ever tried pre-partitioned drives with it.  If you try the Velocity and the drive isn't seen, that's the problem and you'll have to use an external SATA adapter of some sort to repartition before installing on the Velocity card.
    After partitioning the drive and installing on the Velocity card, it worked fine.  Yosemite installed properly and with reboot it blazed.
    Next up, TRIM support.  For some reason known only to Apple, the Apple AHCI driver refuses to enable TRIM support for anything other than Apple drives.  It's possible that there are or were bugs in some of the early SSDs and Apple is just playing it safe, although I would have preferred to have the option to enable TRIM or not if that's the case.  Unfortunately there is no such option, you have to use a substitute AHCI driver.
    Unfortunately if you're using Yosemite you cannot use a substitute driver without disabling kext extensions, because Apple will not sign anyone else's driver (at least not at the time of this writing).  That's unfortunate, I would prefer to have signed extensions if I could, but realistically speaking you're no worse off in terms of security than you were with Mavericks so it's not the end of the world.  With a little luck Apple will either start supporting TRIM on third-party drives or starts signing third-party drivers sometime in the future.
    So: Before you can start TRIMming drives, you first need to run this command, or something like it:
    sudo nvram boot-args=“kext-dev-mode=1”
    I rather like seeing the boot process, rather than just the Apple logo, so I use this:
    sudo nvram boot-args=“-v kext-dev-mode=1”
    I tried both Trim Enabler (http://www.cindori.org/software/trimenabler/) and Chameleon SSD Optimizer (http://chameleon.alessandroboschini.com/).  As of this writing the Chameleon driver is more up-to-date, and comes with some additional utilities that are pretty nice.  Take your pick, though, both worked fine in my experiments.
    With a TRIM-enabled AHCI driver, kext signing disabled, a Velocity card, and your favorite SSD you are in business.
    The only weird thing after all of this is that non-boot SSDs on the Velocity card (or on the Tempo) are ejectable.  As far as I can determine there’s no way to mark them as non-ejectable.  That’s a minor annoyance compared to the performance you get out of the SSD, though.
    Because, with this stuff in there, yowza is the MacPro 5,1 a fast machine.  You Will Like It.  Enjoy!

    I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
    I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
    I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
    Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together.  Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
    The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
    One thing I found last week and meant to mention:  After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

    I recently upgraded to 8GB of RAM of that makes any difference.
    Okay, so I want to take out my 500GB HDD and replace it with the SSD and just do a clean OS install. I want nothing from the old harddrive. Okay, so I installed the SSD, put in my Startup Disk (OS X 10.5.7 that originally came with my computer).. nothing. Doesn't recognize the SSD at all. Tried EVERYTHING. It just doesn't recognize it.
    Okay, took the SSD out and hooked it up to this:

    Plugged it into my computer (with my old HDD in). Doesn't recognize it at all. The green light is on, but nothing is happening. Tried opening disk utility. Nothing.
    I read some posts saying this is a SATA firmware problem and all these other different things, but no one actually posts what to actually do about it! Should I just return the Intell SSD and get another one?! I don't understand what the problem is here.
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    If you successfully created the external HP recovery media then it's safe to delete it off the old HD.
    A good backup practice is to take boot drive images at periodic intervals that you can live with should your SSD fail.  The same would hold true for backing up your data.

  • SSD Sloooow boot windows 7

    Hello,
    Happy new year.
    I have replaced  my old sata disk with a ssd disk . Intel 520 240 gb. on my  T520.
    I have a Windows 7 and a minor Linux partition. Dual boot.
    I have moved the old image  with Arconis True HD.
    However, there is a HUGE difference in boot times between Windows  and Linux.
    Windows is 1 min and 35 sec with windows logo until login screen appears. Then additional 20 seconds.
    Linux is 7-10 seconds from Lenovo sign in bios until I'm ready to go.
    Off course I did not expect Windows to boot  as fast as Linux, but things has worsened after the change.
    When Windows is up and running  the SSD disk is preforming in the same speedy way as under Linux.
    It is just the boot situation which is terrible.
    AHCI is enabled . 
    Is there a solution out there??
    Anyone with experience.
    Rgds.

    Solved!

    Just download the iso here, X17 and use your existing key.  Perfectly legit, perfectly legal.
    If you really want to do it right, slipstream all the latest updates via WUD with 7Lite, then install your personalized recompiled DZT (Day Zero Today) version!  Bam!  Your 520 will thank you.
