X230, formatting mSATA SSD affect to booting time?

Dear All,
I'm just using Thinkpad X230, it has 2 hdd : 500gb SATA & 32GB mSATA SSD, after creating DVD recovery, i formatted the 32GB mSATA, after formatted and use the drive as storage my booting time take too long, about 3 minutes.
Please help how restore my booting time (also restore the 32GB mSATA), i can't recover my x230 now because taking time very long (to backup the data, recovery and copy the data back)
Regard's
Wandy Effendi

you would need to reinstall the
Intel RST software and ExpressCache software on the X230's mSATA.

Adding SSD to improve boot times

HP TouchSmart 1220UK, Windows 7 64-bit, 8GB RAM
Hi
I,m looking to improve the boot time on this machine (currently it's about 5 mins).
Is it possible to add an SSD ie. still retain my 1.5TB HD and have an SSD as well?
If this is possible, will it speed up my boot times?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello UKBigAL:
Welcome to Hp's forum. I know nothing about SSD. Time for you to do PC tune up and run your disk deframenter after you run HP Support Assistance tune up. You have to many start up programs running. Please type in Services in all programs search box. Open it when it appears go down the list and turn off the extra garbage programs that are not needed on start up like games alerts. Or you can use this program and it will fix every thing for you. Your computer will start up less then a minute. Total Defense PC tune up http://www.totaldefense.com/home-and-home-office/pc-tune-up.aspx My computer use to be slow like yours also open up Internet Explorer click on tool select Internet Options now put a check mark Delete browser history on exit then click advance tab above check mark Empty Temporary Internet file folder when browser is closed. This should fix your start up issue.

S430 mSATA SSD and Dual Boot

Yesterday my Lenovo Thinkpad S430 arrived, I have some questions concerning dual booting Linux and Win 8 from the mSATA. I have a Crucial m4 128Gb with the current firmware 07MH which I want to want to install instead of the 16Gb mSATA SSD which is currently used for caching.
For that I want to do a clean Win 8 install (I got the ISO and a valid serial) and presumably an current Ubuntu. Unfortunately I have no experience with UEFI and Secure Boot and that stuff. Is there anything I need to do, are there any problems with what I want to do?
The current UEFI BIOS on my S430 is the GAET71WW (2.07), should I upgrade it to the current 2.54?
Is there anything else I should know?
Regards and thank you,
meruah

If I'm reading Hemanth Kumar's post correctly, 16GB is the largest mSATA drive provided by and supported by Lenovo for use as a cache.
I'd expect that you can use most any capacity mSATA drive in that slot for a primary OS drive. It is frequently done with Lenovo laptops to install a large mSATA SSD - as I did in my T420, 256GB - and keep the HDD as a data drive.
That said, I don't have specific experience with your machine. It would be great if someone with specific experience would join the conversation. Otherwise, I can only say it's probably OK.

Hp envy 15-j172np - msata ssd as primary boot

Hello,
I just bought a new hp envy, i want to put a msata ssd drive and use as primary drive and install windows there.
i red that some people are having problems with selecting msata ssd as primary in similar models, and its not possible to set msata as primary in boot device priority.
Is it possible to do this in this model? Or is it possible with a simple process?
And by the way, am i violating warranty by installing a msata ssd myself?
thanks

@3uric0 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. You would have to check the bios to see if this was possible.
Check the advanced boot settings if they are listed. Depending on the model of notebook some BIOS options are not available.
Check this link out it may be of help.

Can't format cloned SSD that stopped booting in my MacBook Pro. Disk Utility always posts an error with mount and unmount issue. Any clues?

Is there any way I can reformat a cloned SSD that was used to upgrade my original HDD?
It suddenly stopped booting (a progress bar always appeared followed by a shutdown)
I've tried to reformat the SSD via USB case, and using Disk Utility, but it keeps on send error message with unmounting issues.
Any clues as how to overcome this problem?
Thx
Nuno

Have you connected that drive to another computer and if you have can you do anything with it on the other computer. If not then the drive has failed.

X230 / mSATA SSD - Will not allow boot (unauthorized network card)

this is killing me. I just got a crucial msata ssd. i went to install and the thinkpad whitelist fcc crap is giving me trouble. the system thinks it a network card and is therefore stopping the boot. i see others have installed msata on x230 and I have done this on other models as well.
does anyone know a way around this that doesn't envolve changing the bios to a custom bios hack?

Hello,
I don't have an X230 myself, but have you tried using a different MiniPCIe slot? On my X220, only one of the MiniPCIe slots is mSATA compatible. Perhaps it is the same way with the X230.

X230: Questions regarding included 32GB msata SSD

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Hi... I've got a couple of questions regarding the X230 offered in Singapore, which comes with a msata ssd:
"Up to 5x Boost 32GB Micro Solid State Drive Outperforms 5400rpm Drive "
I AM assuming this is a msata ssd?
http://shopap.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/sgweb/LenovoPortal/en_SG/special-offers.workflowho...
1) Given the limited size of this msata SSD (32GB), can I assume that only the operating system (Win 7) is installed here by default?
What about the folders under "My Documents", "My Pictures" and etc. Are they also installed into the SSD by default? I tend to leave all my work documents in that file, and it fills up pretty fast.
2) I assume that the recovery partition is still located in the 320GB SATA HDD(7200rpm)?
3) When I do a recovery from the Lenovo rescue/recovery programme (from the recovery partition), will Win 7 install correctly into the SSD, and not the HDD.
4) If I do a factory recovery using the recovery DVDs (which I will create as soon as I receive the x230), will everything be installed correctly? Windows 7 to SSD and recovery partition to HDD?
Thank you for your time!

the expressways software would make the 32 gigs mSATA a drive cache for the main HDD. Nothing is really installed on the mEATS, only files that are frequently used or predicted to be used frequently will be replicated on the mSATA.

Adding an mSATA SSD to an X230

I gather in some parts of the world you can get an X230 with an HDD and an SSD (in place of the WWAN adapter) from the factory, but not in the US. So, I'm thinking of doing it myself. My plan would be to add the SSD before installing any of my own s/w, then move the OS from the HDD to the SSD with something like this (http://www.paragon-software.com/technologies/components/migrate-OS-to-SSD/). Set the HDD to unbootable in the BIOS and I'm pretty much done. I'd be interested in hearing comments from those who've done this, or who might have some advice even if they haven't. Thanks.

Involute,
you can clone HDD on msata SSD using some sw like Acronis or Intel (free of charge tool if you use msata SSD from Intel). Install msata SSD, install smth cloning sw on HDD and do it. This solution is better if you have fully installed and tuned system.
If you want to get the system like from the factory just make a Factory_Recovery media, remove HDD, insert msata SSD and launch new image installation. Then insert HDD.
In both case you'll get all 3 partitions on both drives. Then repartition them for youself. You can even delete Lenovo_Recovery partition on system (msata SSD) drive as you have recovery media.
Do not forget to change the boot priority within BIOS setup.
Note, for installation R&R on 2nd drive with installed on another (HDD) drive it'd be better to remove HDD from the bay temporary. After installation you'll get a system with working blue button.

Boot from mSATA SSD in Probook 650

Hi guys and girls, Is it possible to add an mSATA (NGFF) SSD in the Hp Probook 650 G1 (F1N78EA) and boot from it? The technical manual does desribe that there is a slot for a mSATA flash cache module for Intel SRT, and that mSATA SSD's are expected later. So I assume it should work? From the specsheet: "32 GB M.2 (NGFF)Optional 32 GB mSATA flash cache module* support for Intel Smart Response Technology. (Available only with standard non-SEDhard drive.)*mSATA SSD is planned to be available in August 2013." Thanks a lot.

I had a breakthrough. And I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier - or that HP support didn't just suggest it right away.It's a really simple solution.You can't boot from a M.2 device directly.But you can boot the M.2 windows installation from the sata connected device (hdd/ssd). So if you just install windows on the sata device first, you can utilize the 100mb system partition for all other windows versions, including any on the M.2 device. No diskpart needed (assuming you have already initialized your M.2 ssd so it can be detected in windows)No BCDboot commands needed. Tested with windows 7 sp1 x64 professional.Bios settings & my notes at the buttom.Bios settings may need to be tweaked for win8/10. Step 1: Install windows on your sata attached device (hdd/ssd).Step 2: Boot into the newly installed windows*Step 2.2: Install windows from inside your first windows installation on your M.2 device.Step 3: Reboot, boot using the OS manager (which will appear in the boot order when more than 1 OS is detected). It should be top boot priority automatically.Step 3.2: Select the correct windows installation when prompted, it should be the top one.Step 4: Delete the windows installation from the boot list using cmd->msconfig. *If you want to avoid having the optical drive taking up the D: drive-letter, change it before installing windows to the M.2 device. This is purely optional, and only meant for the drive-letter obsessive people, such as myself. I have yet to find a way to end up having the M.2 windows installation as the C: drive.Right now my M.2 SSD is the D: drive, and the HDD (containing the first windows installation) is the C: drive. Bios settings & notes:Fast boot: enabledBoot mode: UEFI hybridSata device mode: ACHI For some reason 'startup menu delay' must not be set at 0, I have mine set at 5 seconds. At 0 seconds the system will boot 'too fast' and the M.2 device will appearently not have been switched on in time for windows booting. You will get a device-undetected error. The partition style of the sata device and the M.2 device must be the same. Either both must be MBR, or both must be GPT.I tested both MBR and GPT, they both work.

Slow Boot Times after installing new SSD and Lion

Can anyone please help interpret why I'm having slow boot times? I have copied my console printout during the boot and it seems to be doing a repetitive action while booting.
Thanks

Slow boot time on new SSD

I replaced my old hard drive with an SSD, and I'm getting boot times much slower than expected, between 40 and 45 seconds. I have already set my SSD as the startup disk in System Preferences, repaired disk permissions, performed a PRAM reset, and turned on TRIM. Application launching and shut down are extremely fast, so I'm not sure why I'm getting such slow boot times.
I'm running a Macbook Pro 15", early 2011, 2 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB RAM. My 256GB SSD still has 160 GB available.

Could it be related to the fact that the SSD is listed as disk two in the EtreCheck report?
NO. The following is "My" SSD information on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2GHz i7 quad core. It is not much different from yours

I am running OS X Yosemite on my four year old MacBook Pro which has become progressively slower and is loaded with applications I no longer use. I plan to start afresh by formatting a new 1TB SSD as a boot disk and reinstalling Lightroom 5 and PhotoShop

I am running OS X Yosemite on my four year old MacBook Pro which has become progressively slower and is loaded with applications I no longer use. I plan to start afresh by formatting a new 1TB SSD as a boot disk and reinstalling Lightroom 5 and PhotoShop CC.
Is there a list of the files and/or folders that contain Settings and Preferences which can be copied from the old system to the new?

with your cc apps you should try to use the sync feature. that's never worked consistently for me, but when it does work, it's helpful.
there are preference folders and presets and settings that you could copy but you're better off installing fresh because a common problem for people with adobe program issues is a settings issue.

Adding a msata ssd to l430 as boot drive

Is it possible to clone my standard 320 GB HD to a msata ssd and put it in the pci slot on my Lenovo L430 and use that as the boot drive and use the 320 gb HD for storage?

Hi,
As Hemanth points out, the stock mSATA SSD as shipped (if your L has one) is too small to use as a boot drive. The stock SSD is intended as a fast cache for the HDD.
However, it should be possible to install a larger capacity mSATA drive and clone to that - or fresh install via recovery media or MS media. This is commonly done with Thinkpads - mine included.
The mSATA slot is dual-purpose: WWAN or SSD. If you have a WWAN card installed the slot won't be available for an SSD.
Note that cloning will probably "kill" the local recovery partition. It will still be there but not usable for local recovery - so it is essentially wasted space.

X220 with Intel 310 ssd slow boot times

I recently bought an x220 i5-2520 and installed an intel 310 80GB ssd.
I cloned C: using the intel Acronis tools, updated all drivers and firmware and all works well.
However, my boot times are over 1 minute - much less than the 20-40 seconds I see posted on the web.
I have cleaned out a lot of unnecessary items from startup using msconfig, but no major difference.
It seems to me that most of the slowdown is happening after the login. It takes around 30 seconds after that to get to the desktop.
Why are my boots 2-3x slower than others?

Hi,
I'm running a slightly different configuration, with bios at 1.21, the I7 processor, the Intel 310 ssd and a samsung SSD in the primary drive. I generally average about 20 seconds to ready for input after inputting the HD & Windows password.
I did create the "Recovery" CD/DVD set and installed to the Intel 310 using the Recovery disks without any problem. My boot time included the standard Lenovo/ThinkPad software and usually that doesn't cause much delay.
My other software is iTunes, Office 2010, Picasa, Adobe PhotoShop, and VMWare (my real work). Even the virutal system run quit quickly.
What SW are you running?
I did a couple of tests with 320GB original HD, and boot time was only 2-3 seconds more.

New T530: same boot time after cloning HDD to SSD - what to do next to optimize performance?

Hi,
This is my very first post here so bear with me if I have not observed any guidelines.
After I got a new T530 from Lenovo (i5-3230M, 8G RAM 1DIMM, 500GB 7200rpm HDD, 1920x1080, 16GB Micro SSD SATA3, NVIDIA Optimus with 1GB), I swapped the DVD burner with the 500GB HDD and put a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro as my primary drive. I cloned all HDD contents to the SSD and removed all stuff in the HDD (I don't have a Windows 7 disk that's why I didn't do a clean install on the SSD). After these changes, I found my boot time to still be 30 seconds - which I guess is quite slow for an SSD main drive.
I've read up a fair bit on the Lenovo Community and the ThinkPad forum for solutions but have not found a conclusive answer to this problem. I guess I just want some advice from experienced users on what to do next after cloing the HDD to the SSD so that I can optimize the SSD's performance.
1) I found the 16GB Micro SSD SATA3 is named "Lenovo_Recovery (Q". As I don't have a Windows 7 installation disk, is it possible for me to perform a clean install on my SSD C: Drive from the Recovery?
2) If recovery is not possible, I am thinking of removing some of the bloatware(Corel burner, Nitro Pro, and many ThinkVantage utilities). But I also read somewhere that simply removing them does not help much (as opposed to a clean install). Is there anything Lenovo software worth saving (power manager maybe?)
To be sure both my TRIM and AHCI are enabled. I welcome and am grateful for inputs of other advice outside the above two questions: for example whether I should disable paging files or set paging files to the 500GB HDD disk; whether I should create a RAM disk, whether I should delete or shift system retore files, or whether I should change locations for certain temporary files.
Many thanks for your input

You're already getting detailed advice here. I'm just chiming it to say that the above doesn't sound quite right.
Lenovo_Recovery (Q) is normally a partition on the main drive and contains the recovery image. It wouldn't be on the micro SSD - AFAIK. The recovery image contains an as-shipped image of your working partitions. Even if you used it, you wouldn't get what's considered a "clean" install (from MS media and without the Lenovo additions). You'd get the OS as shipped - modified and added-to by Lenovo.
That micro SSD is probably part of the reason you don't see much difference in your boot times. It caches frequently-used files and (at least once trained or pre-loaded) sort of simulates running from an SSD. Without it your original boot time would probably have been longer.
[edit] Did you make recovery media from your HDD before removing it from the main bay. I'm all for clean installs (how I run my T420) but that might be handy to have down the road some time. Also you might want to pull a copy of SWTOOLS (I think that's what it's called these days...) and save it on DVD or someplace. There are a few things you can't download from the Lenovo site (3rd-party multimedia apps, for example) that you might want to add to a clean install later. The installers are in SWTOOLS (or whatever it's called....)
FWIW,
Z.
