Where is the thinkpad x120e SSD TRIM driver?

i have a thinkpad x120e and i recently upgraded the harddrive to a OCZ agility 3 SSD. i read this post here to get the AMD SATA drivers, however the links are dead, i tried searching on the AMD site with no results, where can I get these drivers so I can enable TRIM on my SSD?
here is the post I was talking abou with the dead linkst: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-hard-drive-replacement/td-p/398635/page/...

Hello,
I had found the page a while ago when I went hunting for the latest drivers from AMD for my X120e. I believe that the X120e has a chipset which performs similar to AMD's 700 or 800 series chipset, but has been optimized for use with the E-Series CPU in terms of power management, probably due to a more efficient manufacturing process (just a guess on my part).
I installed all of the packages on my ThinkPad X120e. No problems noted after doing so.

Why is the ThinkPad 256GB SSD so expensive?

Hey,
I have a T420 in which I have the factory fitted 128gb SSD and I need more space (surprise!) I'm thinking about swapping it out for a 256gb SSD and was just wondering if there's any reason why I can't/shouldn't do that with an off the shelf drive?
The only 256gb SSD drive listed on the Lenovo Store is nearly £700 http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:item.detai...
I can buy a "normal" drive for around £250. Does anyone know why is the Lenovo one so expensive?
Thanks in advance.

OEM drives are never cheap. The reason that OEM drives are expensive:
1. They are supported by a better warranty service, i.e. onsite, back to base, keep your drive if it fails, etc.
2. They are tested to be compatible with your ThinkPads. While most drives on the market will be compatible, there are odd occasions that this is not true. i.e. some mSATA drives not working (i.e. OCZ Nocti).
3. The extra cost of maintaining an inventory of small and varied part no. Lenovo doesn't have the volume advantage like that of OEM SSD manufacturers.
4. Profitability.

MacBook Pro mid 2009 HDD to a Kingston SSD SATA drive - Problems

Hi
I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I'm running OSX Mavericks with Windows 8.1 Pro Bootcamp. I wanted to upgrade to an SSD drive and after reading the great reviews on Amazon, I purchased a Kingston 240GB SSD 2.5" V300 SATA 3.
Many of the buyers had installed the SSD drive on Macbook Pro, including "mid 2009' models without any real problems but I've just spent the best part of 3 hours trying to install the drive but so far, it has not worked and the problem seems to be that, although the Acronis True Image software that comes with the drive to 'clone' the source drive and install it onto the destination drive (new SSD drive), I get a message which states, "WARNING: After migration, the O/S will not be able to boot from the destination disk in the BIOS - If you want to boot from the destination disk after migration, you need to enable UEFI booting in your system and then restart".
During one of my first attempts to install the SSD drive, I removed the original HDD from the MBP and installed it in the supplied 2.5" caddy and and connected it to the MBP via the USB cable supplied then installed the new Kingston SSD SATA3 drive in the MBP, powered up and then rebooted. The Acronis bootable software launched and after choosing 'clone disk', cose source and destination drives, I got a message saying: "The selected disk will be migrated as is (disks layout will remain GPT)". "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in the BIOS".
My system has the latest available Boot ROM Version (MBP.00AC.B03 and the SMC Version is 1.47f2 and as far as I am aware, Apple computers have no BIOS that you can access like on Windows computers and instead use EFI instead.
Both drives had Extended Journaled GUID Partitions on them and what baffles me is that other buyers of these Kingston SSD SATA3 drives appear to have managed to install the SSD drive, but I've had to give up.
I would really like to get the SSD drive working but so far I've failed. Any advice would be appreciated and I'll try it out before reluctantly returning the drive for refund.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Yes the Acronis software is Windows but I read through a lot of reviews on the Kingston SSD SATA 3 drives Amazon and from what I can gather, after removing the original drives and installing that in the 2.5" caddy and then installing the new SD drive in the Macbook, those buyers then used the software to boot from and clone the source drive to the new drive.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my first post, but I did use the Disk Utility in Mac OSX and erased, formatted and partitioned the drive and then pushed CMD + R at start up but I was not able to install a copy of the OS because the drive was not recognised.
I think I also used the disk utility in Windows and then tried again in OSX but no luck. I'm no expert but as stated above, the issue seems to be that the SSD drive is not booable in the BIOS (or Mac equivalent).
The SSD drive is SATA 3 and I'm sure that the SATA ports are SATA 1 on my MBP and maybe that the problem Perhaps someone can confirm this.

Which is thinner: ThinkPad X120e or IdeaPad S205?

Hi,
I've narrowed my decision down to either the ThinkPad X120e or the IdeaPad S205. It will be used for light surfing and word processing work.
Has anyone been able to do an actual side by side comparison to see which model has the thinner body? I've seen several pictures of both models but none of them together to make an actual comparison.
Thanks.
Solved!

Where did 30GB of unused space on my SSD main drive go? I have a mid 2011 iMac that until yesterday had just 54GB of space occupied on the primary drive. I imported 45 minutes of video from an SD card. Could that have used up the space?

I added an SSD to my 27" 2011 iMac. Although Sahidus is absolutely correct, it is much easier to add an SSD replacing the optical drive, it wasn't that bad to add it using an entirely seperate cable using SATA-III. To me it is worth the extra hassle to install a SATA-III SSD. This is where you are going to get maximum performance.
Although it appears complicated, if you go slow, the procedure to install an SSD drive isn't too bad. It takes at most 3 hours, as long as you are prepared and have all the parts and tools.
http://www.btobey.com/learn/imac-ssd-install.php
This describes how I did it. Now I get awesome data performance from my iMac!
I think the 21.5" may be more difficult to find where to place the SSD. But im sure it is possible. Just be creative.

Is there a way to install an SSD hard drive on a 2011 iMac without voiding the warranty?

I purchased an iMac last October and my line of work demands extensive use of After Effects and Final Cut Pro. My iMac is fitted with the standard 1TB SATA hard drive, and lately I considered installing an SSD drive as I have been experiencing lags. In all my naivete I asked Apple Store/Service outlet where I originally bought my iMac, but they turned me down, claiming that "they are not allowed to order the extra parts and if they do proceed then my warranty will be void". Which means that about 2 years of AppleCare will go out of the window. I can always do it myself, but at the risk of damaging my iMac and facing a null warranty on top of it. I am still reeling in disbelief, is it really the case that Apple prohibits its customers from legitimately upgrading their computer at their own stores? What kind of nonsense is this? It's an iMac we're talking about, not an iPhone. It is unreasonable, unprofessional, and I need an explanation!

Adding an SSD is not a simple endeavour like adding additional memory or adding another hard drive to a Mac Pro. That's probably why the option is only offered as an option at the time of purchase. Even if your Apple store was willing to install the necessary parts you will probably be paying for 1-2 hours of labor plus the cost of purchasing the necessary service parts (SSD, bracket, cables, etc) which I suspect will make the upgrade cost much higher than what it costs to add the SSD option when purchasing a new system.
I use my system for business and need it to work reliably. Even though I'm fairly handy with tools I would not be willing to risk damaging my system and voiding my warranty by opening my system and removing the logic board and several other parts in order to squeeze in an SSD option and attach the appropriate cables and brackets. I'm also not prepared to deal with the hassles of explaining why my system has unauthorized parts installed in the event I experience issues and need to make use of my Apple warranty. My time is valuable, so I would probably investigate external storage options, or if I needed the speed of an SSD, I would consider selling my existing system and then purchase a new system configured with an SSD.
If you haven't already done so I suggest doing a search on 'iMac SSD installation' to see what's involved. It might help you understand why the SSD option is not offered post purchase.

Are there 2 drive bays in the Thinkpad Yoga? (The 12.5", S1 series I believe)

I want to add 1 TB HDD just for storage to a unit with a 256 SSD. Can't find a definite answer on if I can do this. Some review video indicated you could but can't verify this. I did find a 2.5" 7mm HDD on Amazon ... hoping this would work.
If anyone has an answer, or can steer me in the right direction for info, I'd appreciate it!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Joe's got you headed in the right direction. I'll add a couple of things.
When installing to an m.2 drive you should probably have the other drive (original SSD or new HDD) removed. Windows installers can get creative about where the boot partition goes and you want to make sure everything goes on the new SSD. Same thing applies to Lenovo recovery media. It may insist on installing to the drive in the main slot if it's still in place.
That brings me to my 2nd point: you can make recovery media and use it to install to the m.2 drive. That way you get everything that was originally on the main drive. You won't get the recovery partition (there may be ways to finesse that - I'm working on a write-up) but you wouldn't get that with a clean install either.
Methodology to create Recovery Media and reload a Lenovo system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload
FWIW, I'm quite fond of the SSD OS drive + a spinner for data. You can set the HDD to spin down when idle and save power and noise.

Where can you buy a thinkpad x120e motherboard

Where can you buy a thinkpad x120e motherboard without the processor attached/soldered onto it?

nowhere. The cpu would be soldered to the board at the same instant all the other chips were soldered to the bottom. That is the way BGA manufacturing works. The board gets zapped once per side

Hello,
As far as I know, DVD±RW disc drives are automatically detected by Microsoft Windows XP and newer versions of Windows. Are you looking for the latest firmware? The latest update I could find for a T61 is here on Lenovo's support web site.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Hi, how do I back up my iPhoto library to Lightroom, so its also on an external hard drive, where is the Back up utility?

Hi, somehow I imported all of my iPhoto library into Lightroom, which is saved to an external hard drive, but now I cannot remember how I did that...and I am looking to update the additional photos i've put into iPhoto to Lightroom...
Thanks for any advice...Eric

As a mich more powerful app I think you'll find that Lightroom is also quite capable of "uploading, screening, and deleting unwanted photos."
The point about using both is that you have an overly complex workflow - and that leads to situations like the one you have now, where you can't recall the workflow you used.
Put another way, it's like wrting your novel part on Word and part in TextEdit. Which bit goes where? The best advice is to pick one horse and ride it.
Do don't "import photos to the Finder" you export them from iPhoto to the Finder. File -> Export....
On your Mac you have Time Machine as a back up application. There are also many, many others. Search on
MacUpdate

Is there a way to lock the location of where iTunes is looking for music regardless of the itl file. I am loading a remote itl file by default ever time but then it's looking for the music on a local drive instead of a network drive.

So I have a number of PC's in the house that are dumping music into a central PC with a network shared drive.
The music is dumped into the "automatically added to library" folder on the remote PC. Itunes is always running in the background.
When I open iTunes on my local PC a script retrieves the newest ITL file from the remote PC, then the script opens iTunes using the updated ITL file.
This way I have a fresh copy of the remote library music every time. The problem is the music location under advanced settings. I can change it every time but I would like to make this as automatic as possible. The question I guess is if there is a way to lock the music location or have it change via a script every time iTunes opens.

You can't change the location of the media folder from a script, neither can you change which library file is opened. I assume your script simply copies the current master library into the normal location for the file on each client machine. Do you not get a file locked error? What about the other library files and the Album Artwork cache?
Your scheme may work best if you use a common drive letter for your media folder and have it so the media folder is not inside the master library folder. E.g.
Master library folder at X:\iTunes
Master media folder at X:\iTunes Media
Where all the computers see drive X: as the same object, be it the whole of that drive or a shared folder on it.
If you have the typical arrangement (iTunes Media inside iTunes) then when you copy the library from X:\iTunes into C:\....\iTunes and start iTunes it will attempt to "correct" for the fact that you've apparently moved the library and reset the library folder to C:\....\iTunes\iTunes Media. It should still be able to find the media at the correct location, but if you accidentally load anything up from a client machine it will end up in a local folder.
If you are not already familiar with it iTunes Folder Watch will be a useful tool for catching up with any additions made on the client computers. You should probably also ensure that each of the clients has the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option disabled.
