Which mSata card is everyone using in their W520?

I'm looking for suggestions on which mSata card everyone is using in their W520. 
How big of a drive are you using? 40GB? 80GB? Larger?
Thanks
Josh

I'm using the 80GB Intel (not IBM). Note that the write speed on the 40GB is rated only half that of the 80. Read speed is a little less, too.
A company I'd never heard of is listing some larger SandForce-based mini-PCI/e format mSATA SSDs: http://www.ampinc.biz/products/mSATA-50mm-SSD.html  Can't find where to actually buy one, though. Same with http://www.renice-tech.com/product.asp?classid=119  Oh, wait... maybe http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/renice-120gb-k3vlar-50mm-sandforce-msata-pci-e-ssd  (US$300 which is roughly proportionate to the Intel ones.)
Paragraph above is information only for people who don't feel like doing their own googles at the moment.

  • Which Gift card can you use to buy itunes beside iTunes card.

    I am looking for a link from Apple's website that will tell which kind of gift cards they accept to use to buy something from iTunes.
    As far as I know,  you must have credit card or debit card because iTunes required billing address.

    Only iTunes Gift Cards can be used

  • Which video card is being used?

    I need help.   I'll keep it simple:
    I have an NVIDIA Quadro 1000m card on my Lenovo w520.  However, dxdiag and the ThinkVantage Toolbox both give me a summary of my system that says the current video card is Intel HD Graphics Card Family.  The Quadro is enabled in the bios, and the up to date drivers are all installed.  Device manager reads that both the Intel HD Graphics Card Family and the Quadro are installed and are "working properly."  If I disable the Intel card, the screen goes black and I need to force-restart in safe mode to enable it again.
    My question is, which card is actually working? And how can I get the Quadro to run as opposed to the Intel (so that dxdiag and the ThinkVantage Toolbox accurately read that the Quadro is my video card)?
    Ps. I've called tech support 4 times..they're no help... and thus I turn to the interwebs for assistance.  Your help would be tremendous.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You have an "Optimus" configuration, this is what switchable graphics has morphed into. The machine will only run the 1000m when it is necessary to run cooler, run quieter, and use less battery power. The machine decides when to turn on the card. When the nVidia card is off, it uses no power. The latest nVidia drivers should have a taskbar utility that tells you when the 1000m is active.  You can override this in the BIOS if you need to for some reason.
    When asking for help, post your question in the forum. Remember to include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.

  • Which graphic card can u use to update my aspire X1420?

    Hi S/N PVSGGE2005Cheers

    No offence matey, WINDOWS 10....don't bother until the 28 July 2016 or when Microsoft stop support and security patches for windows 8.1.  Trust me, this operating system is quite new and still in my humble opinion requires a lot of bug fixes.  You will find things stop working on your pc like applications...dolby etc, ok so I had 3 days of a total reset at the hands of windows 10, but it's up to you!!!

  • Which sim card to be put in ipad3 32 gb 4g in india?

    Hi! well, I think that what you mean is not the KIND of card but the operator card. anyhow, it is a micro SIM and you should go see a phone operator that can provide you a micro SIM with an internet plan. Try checking this.

  • If iphone 5s unlock version which order from apple activated by T-mobile card can be used in China

    I ordered one T-mobile contact free Iphone 5s in apple online store recently, but I activate the iphone by the T-mobile card which install the iphone auto., not by China's network carrier card, so I want to know if iphone 5s unlock version which actived by T-mobile card can be used in China ?

    You have already activated the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, which is why the phone has become locked to T-Mobile and whilst the phone is locked to T-Mobile, there is no way to re-activate it with another sim card.
    It is not silly at all and this is where you needed to have done your research in full and ask those questions about the differences between unlocked phones and sim free/contract free phones and then you would have found this out.
    There is nothing else that you can do.  What you need to do is contact T-Mobile in the US and tell them that you purchased the phone from the US Apple store and activated it with their sim card and the phone is now locked and request that they unlock it for you.  They may do it, but mostly they may tell you that you need to wait 40 days before they will unlock the phone for you.  Unfortunately, whilst you wait for the 40 days you won't be able to use the phone and there is absolutely nothing that you can do.
    Also, if you are using this phone in Europe why on earth did you buy it in the US?  If you knew that you wanted to use the phone in Europe, why did you not go and buy the phone in another European country?  This would have made more sense, because countries like the UK sell unlocked phones in the Apple store and you will have EU warranty on the phone and you will most likely get 4G too, but with the phone you have now, you have found that you cannot use it and your warranty is only valid for the US and not the EU - iPhone warranty is not international.
    There is nothing else that you can do now except contact T-Mobile in the US and request an unlock, but until they will unlock you will not be able to use the phone.

  • How to set up set which NIC card to use for multicast?..

              I just downloaded Rolling Patch 1 for WLS6.0SP2.
              While reading the README file it says
              " ISSUE 42518: Provided a way to set which NIC card to use for multicast traffic
              Can anyone tell me how to set this?. on my WebApplication server it has two NIC

              Thanks for helping,

              Thanks Kumar, I'll try this.
              Does this -Dweblogic.interfaceAddress used only for multicast. Or this is also
              used to talk to AdminServer?.
              The other problem I am facing is when I restart the AdminServer in recovery mode
              it's not finding my WebApp servers, because my webapp servers are on public network
              and my admin (management) server is on private network.
              please look at http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.management&item=1217&utag=

  • Which graphics card will my MBP be using in bootcamp?

    Hey guys I'm considering installing bootcamp on my MBP. It has Intel HD4000 and Nvidia gt 650m. I was wondering which graphics card it would be using in bootcamp. THanks

    Windows will only use your dedicated graphic card, in this case, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, because the integrated graphic card can't be used (there are problems with the GPU switch in Windows).
    After installing Windows, install the most recent driver for your GPU from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com

    One thing the iPad lacks is a file manager. There is no file explorer native on the iPad. If you started adding plugin cards, then you add the need for that.  And, in PC's, most viruses spread via the file explorer (the definition of a virus is a malicious program that propagates itself across multiple programs)
    There are a few drives out there for iDevices. Such as the WiDrive and others.

  • Which audio cards can be bus powered using the Thunderbolt to firewire adapter ?

    Hi
    I was surprised to hear that the new TB to FW adapter let pass only 7W maximum, when the official Firewire specifies 7W _minimum_. On paper this means that my RME FireFace400, for example, can't be bus powered any more since it needs 13 w.
    I think a list of TB > FW adapter compatible audio cards would be useful for all potential MB Air and MBP Retina users who are not ready to carry external batteries all the time

    Using the Ultralite with FW-TB adapter here without issue... with or withou external power.. though admittedly i use with with an external power supply 90% of the time.
    So, check the adaptor itself.. Some of them have been reported as having loose connections.. when plugged into the Mac... so shut down your MBP (Important to do this.. don't just restart it or put it to sleep) take the adaptor itself out of the back of the Mac... and reinsert. Wait at least 2 minutes (Also important..)  and then start Mac up and it should reset and be back to normal operation.
    If that doesn't work.. try doing a full PRAM reset too...
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    No idea about Win 8 because i don't use it... but it does work fine with Win 7 and the correct drivers... Just make sure you install/update to the latest Boot Camp (Don't even think about trying to use Audio stuff via any of the Windows emulators/virual rigs....such as VMware Fusion for example.. You are asking for lots of trouble trying that...) and it's drivers.. for the FW to TB adapter to be properly recognised by Win 7...
