U330 Touch SSD Upgrade

Hallo,
Ich hätte eine Frage zum Aufrüsten meines Ideapad U330 Touch i3. Es ist eine HDD verbaut. Ich würde gerne eine SSD einbauen, und die HDD komplett darauf klonen, so dass auch Systemfuntionen wie "One Key Recovery" darauf funktionieren. Ist dies grundsätzlich möglich, sind alle im Handel verfügbaren SSDs geeignet, oder gibt es eine White List? Beim Umbau würde ich gerne wissen, ob die original verbaute kleine SSD als Cache in die HDD integriert ist oder ob diese extra entfernt werden muss? Muss im Bios weiteres außer dem AHCI Modus eingestellt werden?
Vielen Dank für Antworten auf die vielen Fragen,
freundliche Grüße, Joner
Gelöst!

Hallo und willkommen,
wie die HDD entfernt werden kann steht im HMM u330p_touch_hmm.pdf
Es ist wahrscheinlich eine HDD Hybrid Festplatte also wo eine SSD als Cache integriert ist.
Also braucht nur die HDD ausgebaut werden. Jede 2,5" Sata SSD passt die sind mittlerweile alle 7mm hoch.. und passen trotzdem in ein Notebook mit nur 5mm hoher HDD , wie z.B. in meinem Yoga 2 ..
Zum Thema klonen ... damit das OKR hinterher auch funktioniert sollten die Partionen die gleiche Grösse wie auf der HDD haben... also die kleinen Partitionen vorne ... und der Teil wo sich der OKR Teil befindet...meist ganz hinten ..versteckt... auf keinen Fall automatisch anpassen lassen, sonst findet OKR hinterher keine Recovery mehr...
Wie ich das meine kannst Du hier in dem Artikel entnehmen ...Du brauchst aber nur den Teil wo es um das eigentliche klonen und Partitionen geht dir anzuschauen...
Festplatte zu SSD klonen  
Ich hoffe das die Antworten dir reichen ..

  • U330 Touch - SSD Question

    Hi, I recently bought a U330 Touch i7. I hadn't realized that it shipped with a HDD/SSD combination drive. When I booted it up I found the main OS installed on the HDD along with a load of other applications, then on the SSD drive was only  McAfee and a load of drivers. The HDD is 500GB (or near enough) and the SSD 25GB. The unit is ST500LM000-1EJ162. THe SSD appears as a separate driver in file explorer but seems to be a partition of the main HDD in disk utility.
    I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find answers to by looking around on the site:
    1. Should I just install the applications I am most likely to use straight onto the SSD - so MS Office, Chrome, Unity and a couple of steam games - assuming the benefit on having them on the SSD is going to be worth it.
    2. I was told by someone it might be a hybrid drive and the migration of software from the HDD to SSD would be handled by some software. Is it a hybrid drive?
    3. Can I actually reinstall the OS directly on the SSD and would the benefit be worth the hassle of the reinstall?
    4. If I do re-install can I get the installation files for the OS and associated software that shipped with the machine from Lenovo direct?
    Sorry for so many questions, but its my first SSD and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You don't want to use the WD as the recovery drive, you want to use a flash drive.  Recovery and the factory load should fit on a 16 Gb flash drive. This will be used to refresh or repair the OS if you ever have the problem of not being able to boot.
    The WD should be used to backup your current configuration since it will be so large.  As you do Windows updates and install more programs and save more files, this backup should be replaced on the WD on a regular basis.
    The recovery flash drive will only be used to boot and install the original OS that your machine came with, or to repair or refresh the OS. Then you will use the backup from the WD to put the current OS back on.
    Once you make the flash drive, I would test it to make sure it boots and goes into the recovery environment.
    Again, the WD will only be used for backing up your current configuration and should be updated regularly.
    I've never tried to use an external hard drive as a recovery drive, it might or might not work.  The instructions are pretty specific so I doubt that it will
    You're welcome to try it though.

  • U330 touch windows 7 downgrade cache ssd

    Hi, ordered a u330 touch and it comes preloaded with win 8, need to install win 7 64bit. 
    Read a few posts here and other sites that they are having issues setting up the cache Ssd through the Intel rapid storage software (accelerate tab missing)
    It requires raid to be enabled on the BIOS does the u330 support raid?
    Has anyone managed to get the cache sad working on win 7 ?
    Thanks

    hi neovo-88,
    Upon checking the specs, the caching method used by the U330 Touch is Expresscache. To test if Expresscache s working, open a command prompt and type eccmd -info. It should return a result like this:
     - Link to picture
    The Expresscache feature is a proprietary software that's preloaded on the machine so there's no guarantee that it will work on another version of Windows. However, you may try to follow this guide on how to re-install it.
    As for the caching software via the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (acceleration tab), this will not work as it requires RAID to be enabled in the BIOS (which the system doesn't have).

    Hope this helps

    Hallo ihr,
    das Ideapad U330 Touch meiner Freundin fiept. Man hört es nicht allzu laut, aber natürlich, wenn man alleine im Raum ist. Woran könnte das liegen, was ist zu tun? Lüfter läuft nicht, und es ist eine SSD verbaut. Auch das Netzteil ist nicht angeschlossen.

  • Disable RAID U330 Touch

    I have just bought myself a U330 Touch with the intention of installing Debian on it, in common with all my other computers.
    My intention was to install on the 16GB SSD that is paired with the 500GB disk. 16GB is plenty big enough for linux.
    My question is how do I disable the RAID on the SSD so that I can partition the system? There doesn't appear to be any option in the BIOS setup. I have a Debian Live running and that cannot see the SSD.

    Hi TusonP,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to inform you that the partitions cannot be created unless and until UEFI setting in the BIOS is not disabled, restart the computer and press “F2” to enter BIOS and then in “Boot” windows disable UEFI to and new OS (Operating System) can be installed, however it is not recommended to create partitions as it may affect the “Hidden Recovery Partition” preset in the computer and the OKR (One Key Recovery) button will not work as expected.
    Hope this helps!!!
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
    Best Regards
    Shiva Kumar

  • U330 Touch - Manufacturer number?

    Hello ,
    I've got a little question about the different U330 Touch versions,
    I'm looking for the
    grey
    i5 4200u
    128gb ssd
    win 8.1 preinstalled
    version of the U330 Touch
    So I figured out that 59405810 is the orange version of the one I'm looking for, what is the number of that version in grey?
    Until now I found:
    59393202 grey version with win 8.0
    59405811 grey version with win 8.1 but only i3 and hybrid hdd
    I also figured out that
    5939xxxx are versions with 8.0
    and
    5937xxxx are the older versions with hybrid hdd
    Thanks, I hope you can understand my issue

    I'm starting to doubt that this version is existing in grey...

  • U330 touch wifi

    Hello,
    My new U330 touch laptop has some issues with wifi.
    Sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's really slow.
    Also when I try to download somthing, it's really slow.
    My older laptop (3years), an HP has faster wifi than this new laptop.
    I am really worried.. what's the problem?

    Hello
    Just a quick note regarding the wireless issue with U330 touch, I purchased this laptop seven months ago, all was well until suddenly my internet connection started to drop and I lost connectivity for no apparent reason.  I read all the posts on this subject and tried all sorts of configurations, sadely nothing worked.  I took the advice from another post and upgraded my Intel N720 wireless card directly from Intel's website.  The upgrade went smoothly but nothing again worked until I rebooted the router itself.  To my surprise, the card picked up the signal and connected to the router. I now have full internet access.  Try not to download this driver from Lenovo support, they seem to have stopped providing updated drivers or even recognising the issue with their laptop.  Instead go to the follwoing link and download the latest driver from Intel.

  • Spilt coffee U330 Touch

    Hey there!
    I had a cup of coffee standing beside my one-month-old Lenovo U330 Touch. By accident the said coffee got spilled all over the computer. Over the whole keyboard, including the touchpad (I think). I immediately pluged it out, turned it off and turn it upside down while drying it with a towel.
    Atfer an hour or so, I tried to start it up to see if it worked, and it did. I tried out some keypresses and everything worked no problem, but just as I was turning it off, the mouse go inverted and then the screen got flipped to one side. I powered it off with the power button and left it in the bathroom with heated floor (again upside down with some toilet paper and a newspaper between the screen and keyboard.
    Later again I turned it on and again it started normally, but now the caps lock light was on. The touchpad worked normally again and the screen was the right way, but the keyboard is all messed up. Most of the keys work, but feel sticky, while some are doing different commands and multiplekeystrokes (the g is doing Ctrl+F, the F is F' ++).
    I have seen many posts on this forum regarding spilling of things but none on U330. Is there anything I can/should do?
    And another thing - the touch pad feels kind of loose - it's making a slapping sound when tapping and I feel that the fan can be quite noisy. The panel around the touchscreen (lower left side is also making a clicking noise when I open the computer. Is this normal? I know that they are not a result of the coffee spill.
    This was a long one! Phew! Thanks in advance!

    Open the laptop up, get a replacement keyboard and also make sure any sign of coffee inside the laptop you want to clean up.

    I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
    Can you help?

    Just wait a bit.  Turn it off, then back on.
    I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
    When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.

  • Satellite R630-155 - Fan is too noisy and SSD upgrade

    I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:
    1. The fan is too noisy and never stops. In normal operation (browsing and general office work) there is a constant high pitch noise that is audible three to four meters away in an office environment - in high load you just can't stand it!!! The fan never stops... even when you are doing nothing...
    2. Heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is constantly overheating and i have to place it on my desk in a way that the bottom left corner is outside of the table so it can breath fresh air from below - if not, the temperature rises and the (loud) fan is unable to keep up. When i work with the laptop while sitting on a sofa, i have to place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than an inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat passes through the book!!!!
    3. Last (but not least, i just mention the biggest problems here) it's the problem with SSD installation. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80Gb SSD) from a friend, but i was unable to use it with the Toshiba - the BIOS was not detecting the disk. I tried installing all latest firmware updates for both laptop and SSD but i had no success. Then i gave the disk back and i bought a brand new Zalman 128Gb SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but i had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local Toshiba support and after a lot of conversation the only answer i got is that the laptop is not compatible with those SSD's and this is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if i need an SSD upgrade i can only go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128Gb. I contacted the European support center and i got the exact same reply. I searched on the Internet and i found someone else with the exact same problem with a Corsair 128Gb SSD - he found that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty reboots. I tried that and it was true - after a lot of reboots the laptop detected the Zalman disk and i was able to install Windows 7 successfully, but the process is unacceptable. Also the disk is benchmarked by official sites at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128Gb (and slightly better), but when i ran a benchmark in the Toshiba, the results I got were below half of the advertised speed. Same benchmark in another machine for the same disk, resulted in the advertised speeds.
    Shame for Toshiba... nice design and portability but everything else is a big flaw. Their support in non existent and they do not value their customers. I feel they stole my money and I'll never buy a Toshiba laptop again.
    Sorry for the big message, but I need I have to warn potential customers. Can someone help me with any of the above problems? Do you have the same problems too?
    To be continued...

    Hi buddy,
    Regarding the fan and heat issue: Did you make BIOS update? Friend of me has Satellite R630 too and he told me that fan activity with new BIOS version 2.10 is reduced. Furthermore the notebook is cooler than before so I would recommend installing this update. You can download the BIOS update here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    But before you start the BIOS update you should consider the following tips:
    -Run update as Administrator only
    -Unzip all files from zip archive before you start the update file
    -Close all running programs and also the antivirus and firewall
    -Make sure that battery is fully charged
    Regarding the SSDs its always a little bit complicated installing 3rd party products and nobody can guarantee that such parts would work. You are always on safely side with original Toshiba spare parts.
    Everything what you can do is installing the newest firmware for SSD and hope that it works but who knows maybe the BIOS update will also help you in this case ;)

  • Any update on Mac Pro 2013 ssd upgrade?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on weather an SSD upgrade for the current 2013 Mac Pro will be available soon. I bought a new Mac Pro 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 12GB RAM for my music production for my studio, however I'm now finding the small SSD a limitation to working with software that needs a lot of space available on the hard drive to install. As far as space for files, I use a external hard drive so that doesn't really matter. I've been constantly checking the web ever so often to see if there is any updated news on pcie ssd upgrades for the new mac pro but can't find anything. OWC did make a prototype SSD for this machine and rumours were that in the 4th quarter on this year they would be available for the public, however that doesn't seem to be the case...
    I really wish I went for the 500gb version now even if it was a bit more expensive.
    If anyone has any information on when aftermarket pcie based ssds for this machine will be available it will be much appreciated.
    Phil.

  • SSD Upgrade to Late 2008 MBP, Plus Windows 8 Install

    Hi guys,
    I have a 15", late 2008 MBP that was a beast in it's time, but has started to show it's age, especially due to my aging hard drive.  I've read great things about performance improvement through installing an SSD, and so I want to perform this upgrade.  Also, while I do have my computer backed up through Time Machine, I'd rather just be proactive on replacing my hard drive before it fails on me (which will definitely happen at some point).  Here's some more detailed specs for my computer:
    CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    RAM: 4 GB of 1067 MHz DDR 3
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
    Note about the GPU: This comp has the dual graphics chips, but I've been always using the "high-performance" one, which is what is listed above (the other one is a GeForce 9400M).
    OS: Most current version of Mavericks (OSX 10.9.2)
    In looking up SSD's, I've found that people that have had laptops with similar specs to mine have had success with the Crucial M500 SSDs.
    After I get my drive all figured out, I want to use Boot Camp to install Windows 8 on the SSD.  Currently, I do not have any Windows installations on my computer.  My computer is not supported for Windows 8 installation through Boot Camp, despite the fact that hardware-wise, it is compatable with Windows 8.  However, I have found discussions that are pretty standard on how to get Windows 8 installed on my computer.
    -So, my first question is: Was my research good for this given SSD for my computer?  It seems like Samsung makes the best SSDs, but I haven't found any evidence that it would be really compatable with my computer.
    -My second question: Given that I will have just installed an SSD, will Windows 8 installation be doable?  This is probably the most important question for me, because if it's not possible, then I'd rather just buy Windows 7 right off the bat and install that in boot camp instead.
    -My third question: If I can get Windows up and running, how does my computer's double graphics chip configuration work in Windows?  I'd want to make sure that Windows is using the more powerful of the chips and not the less powerful one.
    -My fourth question: My computer has gone from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Mavericks, and I never performed a "clean install" for any of these OS upgrades.  If I clone my HD to the SSD, would it be beneficial for me to run a Mavericks clean install, and then pull all my necessary data off my backup drive?
    Sorry for the long-winded post, and I know much of it is demonstrated elsewhere.  I have found many discussions involving SSD upgrades, and getting Windows 8 on a late 2008 MBP, but I haven't found anything that has shown both being done.  Both seem easy to do, but I just don't know if doing both in tandem is going to cause a bunch of problems.  Has anyone out there done this, and can anyone offer me any advice on how to make this process any smoother? I really like doing this upgrade now, because if I run into Windows issues, or other issues on the SSD, I could still just boot from my old hard drive and use my computer.  Thanks everyone!

    beestmode,
    I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and I put a Samsung 840 PRO SSD into mine. Where did you find evidence that this model SSD would not work in your MacBook Pro? (The SSD which you’ve installed has a good reputation, so you should have no reason to regret your choice.)
    Windows 8 via Boot Camp will not be possible with your model MacBook Pro. In Boot Camp, you could install up to Windows 7, either 32-bit or 64-bit. A virtualizer such as Parallels Desktop or VirtualBox could allow you to install Windows 8, but virtualizers have their own sets of positives and negatives.
    Since I have a 13-inch model with only one GPU, I don’t know how your dual GPUs would be handled on the Windows side.
    When I’d installed my SSD, I did a clean installation of Mavericks onto it, keeping Snow Leopard on my old internal disk, and putting it into an external enclosure.

  • Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

    Dear all,
        A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
    Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8),  I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
    With EFI it just boots Mac
    With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
    I do not know what is wrong :/
    P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

    I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc
