W510 SSD - My Story

Here's my story: I've had my W510 for 4 years without problems of any kind. However, recently bootup times started to be around 4 minutes. So I decided to get an SSD and put that in to see if performance increased. I bought a couple of 240 GB HP v300a drives on sale. They are SATA III drives, with Sandforce 2281 controllers. I made a disk image using Acronis, then printed that on the SSD and installed it. It booted up fine, in a fraction of the time, and all was good for several weeks. Then a very interesting problem popped up. The only game I play on the W510 is World of Warcraft. From time to time, the game would completely freeze. The whole system would lock up, and I would have to press the power button and do a manual cold boot. The freezing problem was intermittent, and seemed to happen at times when the game was particularly graphics intensive. Sometimes it would go away for days, only to come back. Weirdness! I thought it was the fault of WoW--but when the system froze using Creative Suite 5.5, I put the original HDD back in. Now I'm back to where I was. No freezing. Everything works fine, if sluggish and boot times are 4 minutes.
I want to install an SSD in this machine. I know I can get 4 more years of life out of it if I do. Perhaps the HP drive isn't as compatible with the W510 as some other brand. I welcome recommendations. If I neglected to do something in BIOS, perhaps someone could counsel me. The HP SSD itself may be defective--I have not tried it in another system. However, the identical disk went into my Dell laptop and there have been absolutely no problems, and that was a far older system than my W510. The HP disks were really a stab in the dark. If someone can direct me to a disk that will work with a disk image (I don't own a full version of Windows 7, just upgrades)--but I do have the Lenovo recovery disks. Thanks in advance for any counsel you may offer.

Hi,
@Hackermc:
As far as I can see the only model that is supported on http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=ThinkPad%20W510%20Series is the M500 (not M4!) with 240GB, not 480 GB?!
Crucial M500 240GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD
Or is this incorrect?
I will looking forward of your results with the 480 GB version of the M500.
@ George
You said the M4 512 is running well with the W510.
Which Chipset does your W510 have: Intel 6 or 7 series. And which CPU?
I think, this will make a big difference.
My dealer is able to get the M4/512 GB, which is more than sufficient for the W510 Sata II.
I got around 260 MB/s with the Samsung SSD on the W510 (when it had a 5 minutes of good time).
This ist the maximum write speed for dem M4, so it fits perfectly.

TRIM Command Availablility on W510 SSD

Hi all, does anyone know if the 128GB SSD option on the latest W510's come with TRIM support out of the box?
Solved!

I just got my OCZ Agility 2 SSD yesterday and finished installing everything again. I went with this one for the value, it is also SATA II only, supports TRIM, 240gigs at $455 after $30 mail in rebate this month, one of the best values I found. And this thing is fast, usually after log in all the programs that load at start used to take forever but now it's like 5 seconds and everything is loaded completely. My Windows Experience Index for the hard drive is a whopping 7.7 right now

Question about W510 & SSD

Hey
i've read some thread and sites about w510 and ssd's, but i'm a bit confused now.
So I will buy a "ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter Ultrabay III SATA" and put my current in use sata hd in it. Then the new SSD into the main slot right?
And what i have to respect by the selection of the ssd?
is SATA II supported? SATA III?
is SATA 3GB/s supported? SATA 6GB/s?
would be nice if anyone can give me some advice.
thank you

That's exactly how I roll. Intel 160GB SSD in the primary bay. I use a couple of different 320 and 500GB 7200rpm drives in the Ultrabay.
W510 is SATA3. It's still unknown if the full SATA6 pipe will be available on the W520. But SSD drives that have a SATA6 capability should still downshift and work on the W510. The Intel and Crucial C300 drives do.

W510 ssd samsung evo

Hi,
I have a thinkpad W510. It came with an original 500 gb hitachi drive. I believe it is a 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive. Can I put in a samsung ssd evo with 2.5 inch 7mm drive? Do I need new rubber railings? The reason im asking is it appears the original drive is in an adaptor. Can i take the metal adaptor off the old drive and put it on the new and reuse the railings? Or you cant use the old adaptor on a 7mm drive. Also in the hmm it mentions a storage converter part number
42W7888 do i need this?
To clone the drive do i just buy an external hdd enclosure and use acronis or something similiar?
thanks!

There's no urgent need for the spacers, is good if you have it but no drama if you don't
I have several 7mm drives in 9mm bays using the 9mm caddy and rubber rails and they work all fine. See the example pics from my X201:

W510 SSD problems

I have now tested with my Crucial M4 128GB SSD for a few days and i can't solve the reboot problems i face.
Right now i have installed back my old mechanical harddrive and it works great with no such problems so either there is compatibility problems with W510 and SSD or bugs in the firmware on the SSD.
I am trying to search the net and i can't find many people running SSDs in their W510.
Is it a general problem with SSDs and W510?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have now solved the problem, the fault was not the SSD disk or W510 but a faulty Corsair memory module.
I ran memtest in Linux and it showed that i had a bad Corsair memory module with over 8000 errors, i have now exchanged and RMA the bad module for a new one and the shutdown/reboot problem is now gone when i run WEI in Win7.

W520 SSD Success Story

I have just received my new W520, spec'ed up with all the fruit to replace a Dell Precision workstation. The main bits of the W520 spec:
W520 I7 2920
1920x1080 with colour sensor
16gb RAM
500gb Hard drive
DVD optical drive
Quadro 2000M graphics
etc
I decided I would swap out the HD for a OCZ Vertex 3 250gb.
I must admit I was a bit worried reading all the posts about how hard it could be, but it was easy.
Here's what I did...
First create create some back up discs. I used Control Panel then Lenovo - Factory Recovery Disks onto DVD.
That created a Boot Disk and 3 x Recovery discs.
I then switched off the W520, took out the battery and removed the hard drive. The OCZ fits in the bay perfectly, all you have to do is fit the rubber bumpers. The drive fits in the slot and is kept in place by the cover plate on the W520, it has a bar that keeps the drive in place, no screws needed..
NB with no changes to BIOS, I the switched on the the W520 with the Boot CD. The system then fired up, asked for the Recovery discs and Hey Presto.
The system now boots in 20 secs and reports the following Windows Experience Index:
Processor 7.6
Memory 7.6
Graphics (set to discrete) 6.9
Gaming Graphics 6.9
Hard disc 7.9
I then tweeked the system power setting to stop defrag, turn off hard disc etc. and am I happy or what??
No problems here.
Cheers

PS
When I installed the recovery discs, the SSD and system were set up exactly as the laptop was when I received it from Lenovo. The Lenovo recovery partition was there, all the drivers were installed etc etc. The W520 was basically the same as it was when I received it except it now has a turbo boosted hard drive.
The difference is stunning and worth every single cent of the $500 that the SSD cost.
Cheers

How to perform clean re-install windows7 on W510 on SSD

Hi All,
I am upgrading my laptop W510(4318) Touchscreen Laptop to SSD and would like to re-install windows 7 instead of cloning existing windows as i have numerous issues.
Many says that factory recovery would not work and i dont have CD/DVDs of factory recovery.
When i try to make create recovery disc, it says that i have only one microsoft windows 7 image in the laptop, this may be due to backup taken to my external hard drive and i could see the recovery in my external hard drive.
My Questions is,
1. How do i install windows 7 from external drive of factory recovery image? will this work?
2. Can i install my personal windows 7 (ISO Image) and install lenovo drivers on top of it? Will this work with all lenovo features(simple tap,finger print, and all other lenovo softwares/apps)??
3. Can i install wiindows 7 from my personal ISO image and use windows key from lenovo (i could see key available in battery area)??
4. Also, suggest whether i can install windows from external drive (either ISO image or factory recovery ) when i boot up with emty ssd? will external drive detect to install windows 7?? Is there any specific BIOS setup required??
5. Whether AHCI mode needs to be enabled? in BIOS, What is the sequence of BIOS before/after installing SSD & Windows 7
Please help

I would recommend leaving the sata controller in AHCI mode via the BIOS setting.
You can install Windows 7. You can use a retail DVD and the key on the sticker under the battery. If you have a different Windows 7 image, that should work as well in order to get the base OS installed. Just apply the drivers from support.lenovo.com and Windows update afterwards.

[W510] - USB 3.0 SSD, poor performance.

Help please?
I'm getting some rather poor performance on both of the USB 3.0 ports on the laptop.
I have an SSD that's been tested via internal SATA II connection, capable of (sequential) read 275MB/s, and write 250MB/s. Also have a 3.5 inch WD Caviar Black 2TB SATAIII (WD2002FAEX), tested via eSATA, capable of (sequential) read 150MB/s, and write 150MB/s (think it saturated the eSATA on the W510).
However, when either of these two drives was connected via USB 3.0 (tested with three different brands of USB 3.0 enclosure), the sequential read performance was only at 85MB/s, and write was (REALLY bad) at 60MB/s (even with the SSD). This leads me to think there's a bottleneck somewhere on the W510 (because I know for certain, the USB 3.0 enclosures are capable to at least give 130MB/s read and write. The drives are also capable of performing faster than 100MB/s as well).
All drivers, BIOS, firmware are the latest. Platform is Windows 7 Ultimate - 64bit.
The NEC USB 3.0 chipset seems to be connected to PCI Express 2.0 x1 bus. Reading on the Intel QM57 chipset spec, the PCI Express 2.0 implementation is only capable of serving 2.5GT/s (http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/qm57/qm57-overview.htm), using 8b/10b encoding (http://www.tmworld.com/article/318759-What_does_GT_s_mean_anyway_.php), that gives 2Gbps. So I was expecting the USB 3.0 connection is capable of giving me around (not exact, as I accept there's overhead) 200MB/s.
At this point in time, a single mechanical drive (consumer level) can't quite go up to 200MB/s yet, but SSD can. And therefore, I expected my SSD benchmark via USB 3.0 could at least give me that....sadly it wasn't the case with the W510.
This brings two questions I have for the forum:
1. Why is my W510 USB 3.0, in combination with high performance disks and rather capable USB 3.0 enclosures, perform so poorly.
2. If my understanding from above is correct, then isn't this "USB 3.0" feature (regardless of my benchmark result) sounds misleading? Because the product, W510, is simply incapable of delivering a USB 3.0 experience even in "ideal" situation (limited by the 2.5GT/s).

I did try eSATA as well, the WD drive was able to do 150MB/s and 149MB/s, read and write respectively. (as the QM57 chipset natively supports SATA at 3Gb/s)
The issue here is as part of the decision process to get the W510, USB 3 capability came into consideration (for having more than 1 fast external storage device).
EDIT:
Ultimately, what I'm really after is:
1. Have I configured something incorrectly, or misconfigured something. Or is there's some ideal component linkage I'm missing.
2. Is the W510's USB 3.0, at the very least, capable of delivering 2.5GT/s?
3. I may, or may not have to file a complaint to Lenovo or BBB for misleading marketing / sales info.
2nd EDIT:
I do thank you for suggesting eSATA. However, if Lenovo is going to reply to this, I simply won't take "use the touchpad instead" if the trackpoint isn't working properly.

W510 Solid State Drive (SSD) Gets Stuck Causing BSoD. Why?

Hey guys, this has been a problem for a while now, and it is really mind boggling ... I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 laptop with a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD drive. Ever so randomly the drive just hangs, the LED light that the drive is trying to load something stays "ON" for up to 5 minutes or so before it finally goes into a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). Once it goes into BSoD the laptop reboots and it gets stuck on the ThinkPad motherboard logo, eventually it will display "ERROR 2100: HDD0 (Hard Disk Drive) initialization error (X)" Where X is usually 1 or 2, sometimes 3 but rarely. It will not function again until I physically turn it off and back on using the power button.
A little bit of background about the problem, this is my 3rd Crucial 256GB M4 SSD, Crucial has been very helpful and they went as far as replacing the drive twice, i am starting to highly doubt its a drive issue, I think it could be something from the laptop itself. To be more clear, my laptop has also been serviced back in March (Motherboard was swapped as well as keyboard), parts failure. It was all done in very timely manner and everything was OK after the swap.
A representative from Crucial told me that this is a classical problem with the SATA controller driver handling TRIM, he said the drive is getting stuck in an infinite TRIM state which causes the BSoD, after that the drive goes into some sort of a "panic" mode to protect itself and doesn't function again until a full power cycle. (thus the need to turn off and then on the laptop) he also added it could be fixed by installing the correct SATA controller driver.
I have tried to use the default windows SATA controller driver, and I have tried to use the Intel one too, and it seems to happen less often with the windows drivers, but overall, it happens at least once a day. It is really frustrating and I am not able to get anywhere with it.
Any help or advice is highly appreciated. I am considering getting rid of the Crucial SSD altogether and just using Intel SSD instead, but I am really doubtful that it is the SSD's fault especially that its the 3rd one I use. I also know a couple of friends who own ThinkPads with Crucial M4 SSD inside them, and they seem to be working very well for them.
Thanks in advance,
Al.

Hi again,
Ok so I have applied the fix you have mentioned above, and it did improve (lower) the frequency of the problem happening. It really improved a lot significantly when I uninstalled the Intel drivers and used the Windows 7 built in SATA controller drivers.
However, ... it still happens ... less frequent, but it still takes place, my SSD still gets stuck at least once in 3 days now, or once in 2 days (after severe testing) and the same scenario happens. I am really stuck at this point, and not sure which direction to take.
Any help would really be appreciated, if you have / know any method to debug the BSoD's I get and a way to locate the source of the problem I am willing to go through it 1 by 1 and solve this problem before deciding to finally just giving up on the drive altogether.
Sincerely,
Al.

USB 3.0 + SSD + W510 = Low Performance???

Hey everyone-
I just purchased this W510, and I love it!
I also purchased a Corsair F120 120GB SSD and a Patriot Gauntlet USB 3.0 enclosure for storage of files. In running initial tests on this drive with HD Tune Pro, I found the following:
1) Sequential read: Internal HDD starts off at ~97 MB/sec and tapers off to ~60% of that speed as the test runs out to the edge of the platter. SSD, on the other hand, is a constant ~94 MB/sec or so, and equals the performance of the HDD when the HDD is about at the 100GB mark (500GB drive).
2) Sequential write: Internal HDD is still just under 100 MB/sec to start, but the SSD only delivers about 50 MB/sec.
Now this is a newer Sandforce SSD capable of over 250 MB/sec transfer rates, so I know the bottleneck isn't the SSD. Also, I read test writeup here: http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-star-usb-3-controller-test/9 where a USB 3.0 card installed in a desktop PC performed MUCH better with an external SSD connected, at almost twice the read speed and 3x the write speed that I experienced, using the same test software. Finally, let's assume the SSD is limited to the same throughput as the internal hard drive for some odd reason... why would the write speed to the SSD be cut in half? In any case, I would expect higher performance from a 250 MB/sec drive on a 5Gigabit interface connected to a PCI bus vs. an HDD capable of around 100 MB/sec on a 3 gigabit interface on the same PCI bus.
Any ideas on what might be going on here? Can I actually expect higher performance? At this point, I'd be happy to match the performance of the internal hard drive!
My USB 3.0 controller driver is version 1.0.19.0, which I believe is current.

Suggestions sought for first SSD for HD swap on W510

I have never installed an SSD but need to on my W510 so I can get another year or two out of it. Have the i7820QM 1.73 GHz model with 24GB installed. I clone all the partitions with Shadow Protect which seems fast. I was planning to use a Crucial 1TB MX200 drive though I think the laptop maxes out at SATA II anyway--seems like a reliable drive though, best I can tell. Perhaps even a 2nd SSD in a caddy in the optical drive bay if that will work. I rather like the Lenovo utilities etc if it is not too much trouble to keep them, though it seems to complicate the restore with extra partitions. I have never tried the included Rescure and restore to back up/clone. If that preserves the current architecture, perhaps that is the way to go. I can't afford to make a hash of this so I thoght to check here first. Any comments appreciated.

Thank you so much for commenting. I have about 450GB on the current HDD and I read rescue and recovery is slow as molasses with that much data. My hope was even though slow if I use R&R to my USB3 back up external HDD and put he SSD where the internal HDD is now , I can have a perfect clone of what I have now except the HDD replaced with the SSD including the Lenovo partitions. Perhaps that is wishful thinking. ShadowProtect to clone is rather fast and I have never tried R&R. Restoring might take forever as I read the recovery environment is limited to USB2 speeds externally. I had planned to put in a second SSD later but need to consider your suggested procedure.

Using W510 120 SSD in X220 drive bay?

Hi Folks,
I posted this question previously, but the full solution has not been posted.
I have a 120 SSD from my W510 which I would like to put in my X220. Is this possible? The problem is that the caddy that comes with the 120 SSD is too large for the drive bay of the X220, It also appears that the pin configureation is different. I suspect that this is not possible, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks,
SD

The major problem is that drive has a 1.8" wide form factor, and the W510 caddy beefs it up to a 2.5" wide, 9.5mm high form factor.
The X220 drive bay is intended for a 2.5" wide, 7mm high drive, so you have a few issues to address
There is no "plug and play" caddy for mounting that Toshiba drive in an X220 drive bay, so a degree of creativity will be needed if you want to attempt to do it.
I don't have that drive, so my comments below are based on looking at photos from here.... http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/3516/lenovo_toshiba_oem_thns128gg4baaa_128gb_solid_state_drive/ind...
It appears that the connector on the back of the Toshiba drive is a standard SATA type, and it also appears the drive is 7mm (or so) thick, so the challenge is to get it aligned correctly with the SATA connector in the X220 drive bay.
Electrically it should work , but you would need to figure out how to locate/fix the drive in a X220 drive caddy so that it did not become disconnected.
Personally, I think it is more trouble than it would be worth, as neither the X220 or the drive would be covered by warranty for doing something like that.
YMMV

W510: Nach Einbau SSD ist der Rechner langsamer als vorher.

Hallo! um mein W510 schneller zu machen habe ich mir diese Festplatte eingebaut:> Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250 GBJetzt bin ich mit den Zeiten für das Herunterfahren und Booten sehr zufrieden - aber der Rest geht gar nicht. Installation der SSDIch habe die SSD an meinen SATA 2 Anschluss angeschlossen und Windows 7 komplett neu installiert. Nach vielen Supports des Samsung Helpdesks und eines befreundeten Technikers hat dieser das System nochmals incl. BIOS vollständig neu aufgesetzt. Aktuell läuft die Magician Software von Samsung , die die neueste Firmware (EXT0DB6Q) verwendet. Also können wir davon ausgehen, das AHCI und alles sonstigen Einstellungen korrekt sind. Welche Zeiten sind langsam?Hier einige Zeiten, damit Ihr Euch ein Bild machen könnt:Öffnen Firefox 31! secÖffnen Word 15secÖffnen PowerPoint 9 secInsbesondere scheint die Performance beim surfen im Firefox sehr langsam zu sein, so langsam dass ein Seitenaufbau in Google Maps Minuten dauern kann! Oder die Eingabe von Text z.B. in diesen Thread ist so lahm, dass ich blind tippe und die Buchstaben erst mit ca. 2 sec Zeitversatz angezeigt werden. Tippen in Word scheint dieses Probleme nicht zu haben. An der Internetverbindung habe ich jedoch nichts geändert und ein anderes Notebook (mit HDD) zeigt auch keine veränderten Antwortzeiten des Internets. Was sagt der Task Manager?Die CPU Auslastung liegt ohne sichtbare Aktivität bei ca. 4%-20%. Virenscanner?Um auszuschließen, dass Kaspersky die Performance drückt habe ich ihn komplett deinstalliert und AVAST installiert. Keine Veränderung. Ist die SSD zu klein?Hier einige Screenshots aus der Magician Software, damit Ihr das beurteilen könnt: Ich habe die Einstellungen in Magician auf "maximale Leistung" eingestellt.Es gibt eine Funktion, mit der man die Performance der Platte optimieren kann. Dies tue ich mittlerweile regelmäßig mit mäßigem Erfolg. Ein kleiner Effekt ist spürbar aber nicht dauerhaft. Kann ich daher darauf schließen, dass die Platte zu klein oder zu lahm ist??? Bringt also der Kauf einer besseren Platte etwas? Was sagt der Windows Leistungsindex?Leider habe ich mir nicht dokumentiert, wie der Leistungsindex mit der HDD war - ich glaube aber ca 5,8 und ich denke der Flashenhals war da die Grafik.Jetzt sieht das ganze viel schlechter aus:ist es nicht komisch, dass jetzt der Prozessor der Flaschenhals ist? Immerhin habe ich einen I7! Welche Systemkomponenten?Keine Ausrufezeichen im Gerätemanager Was läuft sonst an SW?Windows 7 64Bit Service Pack 1Office 2013Keine Spiele1,2 kleinere Anwendungen, alle geschlossen.Dienste habe ich bisher nicht analysiert.AVAST statt KasperskyIch habe den Rechner nicht mit der vollen Lenovo Software ausgestattett, sondern nur das Lenovo System Update installiert, dass dann die notwendigen Systemtreiber geladen hat. Alle unnötigen Programme wie Corell oder sonstiges sind nicht drauf. Was habt Ihr für Vorschläge?Ich bin jetzt so verzweifelt, dass ich mir am liebsten eine viel größere SSD einbauen würde - aber hilft das? Es müsste ja so sein, denn die SSD ist kleiner als meine HDD und mit der lief das System schneller. Allerdings hatte ich da nur Office 2010 drauf.ein SATA 3 würde natürlich helfen - gibt es da eine Möglichkeit im W510?mir fällt sonst nix ein. Euch? Vielen Danke an alle!Peter

2,2 Leistungsindex der CPU finde ich auch sehr niedrig. Chipsatztreiber alle aktuell?Aktuellsten Chipsatztreiber von Lenovo ist installiert? Eventuell mal auf die Internetseite von Intel gehen und nachsehen ob es da einen neueren Treiber giebt der besser funktioniert? Intel® Chipsatz-Software (INF-Update-Utility) Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver ist auch der aktuellste installiert? Da bietet Lenovo 2 verschiedene Versionen an12.8.10. 1005 und 11.2.0.1 006. Da mal testen ob es da eine verbesserung giebt wenn du eine andere Version testest.Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 12.8.10.1005Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 11.2.0.1006Oder auf der Supportseite von Intel nachsehen ob es da auch eine neuere Version gibt die eventuell besser funktioniert.ThinkPad W510 US DownloadsNachtrag:Die Hardwarebneschleunigung der Grafikkarte ist auch ein Faktor wie schnell sich eine Internetseite aufbaut. Da mal prüfen ob aktuelle Grafiktreiber installiert sind und im Browser mal die Hardwarebeschleunigung mal an oder aus stellen um mal zu sehen ob sich die Seiten schneller aufbauen.

W510 type 4876-A11 With Intel SSD 520 Series BSOD

Hi lenovo community,
please help regarding this issue.
I took out the SSD from another computer which has never failed me.
I swap into thinkpad W510, and format and re-install windows 7 HomePremium . Keep getting Blue screen of death.
Tried win7 Professional, BSOD also.
Swap a hard disk into the w510, no issues.
Put the SSD into another computer, no issues.
W510 bios updated to latest.
SSD firmware update to latest 400i.
please help.
should i call thinkpad service hotline? It's still under on-site warranty.
seems like a compactibility issue.

Welcome to Lenovo Community! Terryhoho
Go to Control Panel > Lenovo - Airbag Protection > Uncheck Enable Active Protection System. (Check only when you are using HDD and not SSD) SSD does not require Active Protection System as it does not contain mechanical parts.
http://www.jdhodges.com/blog/tip-shock-protection-unnecessary-if-you-have-a-ssd/
If the step above does not resolve your issue.
1. What source do you use to reformat? Windows 7 Original DVD (Clean Install), Lenovo Recovery Disk or others?
2. If you install using Windows 7 Original DVD, download and install System Update. (If Recovery Disk, can skip this step as it's preinstalled in the image)
3. Download and install the latest Intel Chipset driver.
4. Go to Control Panel > Lenovo - Update and drivers > Install Critical and Recommended Updates, up to you for optional updates.
