Z60T + INTEL SSD problem!

Hi,
I want to chance the old HAD from a Z60T to a Intel SSD.
Notebook type: 2511-EJG
SSD Model: SSDSA2M160G2GC
I had cloned the dates from the old HDD with Acronis True Image Home 2010 to the Intel SSD.
But after installing the SSD into the laptop the OS do not boot. I had contacted the lenovo telephone support but they can't help me to find the reason.
After checking some theadsof this forum I have the idée it can bee a problem with the SATA1/ SATA2 respectively 1.5 Gb/sec / 3 Gb/sec media transfer rat compatibility.
Is that the problem? And how can I fix it?
Tanks and sorry for my bad English skills. I hope you still understand me.

admindrey, welcome to the forum,
please try cloning again, but this time with the SSD inserted in the primary hdd slot in your Z60. The original drive in an usb external enclosure and boot from an Acronis rescue cd you can create with Acronis.
Let us know how you get on.

  • Intel SSD 530 startup problems on ThinkPad W520 - Bug in SSD or lack of BIOS support?

    The are problems with Intel SSD 530 and ThinkPad W520. Many people, including me, are complaining about startup problems ... see this thread also: https://communities.intel.com/thread/44258
    One month ago I bought an Intel SSD 530 240GB to replace the stock HDD of my ThinkPad W520 (4270CTO). When I cold-start the laptop everything is fine, but when I restart it from Windows 7 or even CTRL-ALT-DEL, the drive is not found. Both SSD and W520 has the latest firmware/BIOS.
    I had no problems with Intel SSD 335 240GB; Windows starts and restart without problem, but with the Intel 530 it fails when I do restart, the BIOS does not find it after a normal reset. I think BIOS implementation for W520 does not support the newer ATA feature called "Device Initiated Power Management (DIPM) for Software Setting Preservation (SSP)". There is a BIOS update for W530 but not for W520.
    Should I assume Intel SSD 530 is and will remain incompatible with ThinkPad W520 or wait for a BIOS update?
    W520 | i7-2720QM | NV Quadro 2000M

    I am also seeing the exact same issue. I have a ThinkPad W520 and a Corsair Force GS using a Sandforce 2200 series controller. According to the Intel SSD thread, there is some incompatibility between that controller and Intel QM77-chips which is causing the issue.
    The symptoms for my laptop are the same. SSD is always recognized on cold boot, but effectively never on warm boot / restart. Will we get a BIOS update that fixes this?
    I have dual boot configuration with both windows 8 and windows 7. The issue is happening regardless of what OS I issue the restart from.

  • New MBP and SSD problems?

    Ok, so I installed an Intel SSD in my new MBP( I am eventually getting the MCE OptiBay to put my regular HDD back in. Here's the thing...Every time I run Boot Camp Assistant, and click to install Windows...it restarts...grey screen, then...flashing folder with question mark. Any ideas?? I've reinstalled OSX on this drive twice now. There seems to be nothing wrong with the drive because OSX installed and runs fine on it. What's going on? Do the new MBP's need a new Boot Camp update, or something?

    Intel 2G SSD? Did you remove the 'mechanical' drive for now?
    There were problems in the past with Intel and with 3rd party SSDs.
    What I would like you to try doing is use the mechanical drive for now for OS X if possible, and disconnect it, and with just the SSD in there (pretty hard I guess???) forget using BCA, and boot Windows 7 DVD and have at it.
    Firmware on Mac's, firmware on Intel SSD...
    I assume holding Option/Alt on startup doesn't work either.
    10.6.6 did a couple things, still no idea why:
    Wants to download drivers to CD (broken);
    Takes longer to boot back to OS X (no idea);
    OS X reports to be running slower than before.
    OS X still lacks TRIM for SSD and OS X suffers (still faster but not what it should be).
    Oh, what version of Windows? you may need Windows 7, and if you bought it from school or electronic download, did you have to burn ISO to disc? That can act or behave in odd ways like this.

  • Intel SSD 530 240gb - 17" late 2011 Macbook Pro

    I was given a new in the bag Intel SSD 530 240gb
    I have a 17" late 2011 Macbook Pro..
    I can afford to buy another brand and sell this one online/ebay...
    Am I asking for problems installing and using this?  My laptop is the core of my business so I need stability.
    I have not only a timecapsul backup but also a daily copy clone to a internal hard drive in my MB too..
    If I choose not to use it is the general consensus Samsung the most Mac compatible.
    I'm in Bali and so warrantee follow up is a nightmare..
    Thanks in advance..

    I do not have experience with the Intel SSD's but I also heard of some problems (that you can solve with a firmware update, which is not easy to do).
    I would go for the lowest risk and buy Crucial SSD.
    Samsung is NOT the most compatible for Mac, it is as compatible as most other brands. The disadvantage in the Samsung SSD's is that it does not have the best diskcontroller. Crucial has the Marvell controller which is by far better.
    I have experience with Samsung, Crucial, Micron (same as Crucial), Mercure. They all work well, with the best experience with Crucial. About 10 MacbookPros upgraded to SSD.

  • Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot

    Hello everyone
    Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
    The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
    Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
    Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
    So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
    What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
    hope someone can help me
    Best Regards
    krebbl

    yes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
    But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
    And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
    Are there other ways to boot an ISO file?

  • Intel SSD 510 120gb in Macbook Pro 2010

    Hi all. I have bought an Intel SSD 510 series 120gb and installed it instead of Superdrive. After that I cloned the Macintosh HD disk to a new SSD.
    I moved user's home directory to the HDD drive, enabled noatime for SSD, turned disk sleep off and hibernate to 0. Everything works fine. Today my friend told me that Mac OS X 10.6.7 does not support trim command and my SSD resource will not be long. I checked System Information and saw that he was right. In the sistem information there is a line: TRIM Support:          No. I know that new 2011 macbook pro comes with TRIM support: yes function. How can I enable TRIM support in Snow Leopard for my SSD?
    Thank you very much.

    Recently installed same type of SSD (Intel 520 120GB) in our 2010 Macbook (white) and runs just as well as its big bro. No problems at all. Storage isn't an issue since most stuff's in the cloud these days and we carry large files around on a USB stick. Way to go!

  • Intel SSD Toolbox work with T510?

    I recently swapped in an Intel 320 series 300gb SSD in my T510.  The drive works great, and Windows recognizes it as an Intel SSDSA2CW300G3.  But the Intel SSD Toolbox application doesn't see the drive (or any drive, since that's the only one in the system).  I've tried the usual uninstall/reinstall, reboot routines, with no effect.  A post somewhere suggested that turning off ACHI in bios might help, but when I did that, Windows wouldn't boot.
    I have the same Intel SSD on my desktop, and the Toolbox application works fine there.  Both are Win7-64 machines, and in device manager, both show the same Microsoft driver (6.1.7600.16385) and the same hardware ids for the drives. 
    Does anyone know if the Intel app works on a T510?

    I tried Intel’s online chat support and encountered a helpful tech who took me through updating drivers and trying a couple of other pieces of software.  It turns out that Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology applet sees the drive fine.  So does SSDLife Free, which assures me that my drive is in excellent health, should last until 2020, and has Trim enabled.  But even though no other app has a problem seeing the drive, and I have new drivers and an updated Lenovo bios in my T510, Intel SSD Toolbox still can’t see anything on my system.   For the moment, I’ll just live without Toolbox. 

  • Intel SSD 320 Series Unreliability, Intel or OSX Lion at fault?

    Hi,
    I have been using the Intel SSD 320 Series 160Gb SSD in a Quad Core iMac for a couple of months.
    Its was running fine all through the Lion Beta program, but Monday evening, my iMac with OSX Lion locked up and I had to power off the system (that never happens to my Mac normally).
    On rebooting, I got the flashing folder with a question mark, signifying no devices with a valid OS were detected
    The following morning, I had to replace the SSD with a 1TB platter drive and restore my system (thank god for Time Machine).
    Disk Utility repoerts the SSD as 8.4Mb in size (no, thats not a typo) and thinks the drive is unformatted.
    This is very disappointing, so much for hoping SSD would be more reliable than mechanical drives
    I loved the speed of the SSD, but this type of failure whether its Intel's fault or OSX causing this catestrophic failure I am still unsure, but either way its totally un-acceptable and has made me wary of wanting to try again with SSD!
    D.

    To help future users searching, I have an update.
    This appears to be a bug in the Intel 320 Series SSD drives which Intel have acknowledged.
    I applaud them for owning up to the problem, but I am furious they let a product of this type get to market with a serious bug like this in the first place!!
    If anyone is using one of these drives I suggest you make sure your Time Machine backups are running fine and are up-to-date and constantly check out the link below for a firmware update that at the time of writing has still not materialised.
    Rest assured, you have a ticking time bomb on your hands!

  • Intel SSD 320 Series 8 MB Bug neue Firmware?

    Hallo,
    nach einem Stromausfall hat meine Intel SSD der 320er Serie den 8 MB Bug.
    Sprich die SSD wird mit nur noch 8 MB erkannt.
    In vielen Foren findet man die Lösung: Ein Firmware Update.
    Leider ist die Festplatte von Lenovo, daher geht die original Intel Firmware nicht.
    Auf der Lenovo Support Webseite findet man die aktuelle Firmware Version nicht.
    Ich habe die Firmware LE05 (4PC1LE05) und brauche die Firmware LE06.
    Ich habe zwei Artikel gefunden, die auf die LE06 Firmware verweisen, leider gehen die Downloads nicht mehr, weil Lenovo die Webseitenstruktur geändert hat:
    http://support.lenovo.com/in/hi/documents/ht074473
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-​series/T420-SSD-8MB-Error-on-Current-4PC1LE04-Firm​...
    Ich habe schon den telefonischen Lenovo Support angerufen, aber die konnten mir nicht weiter helfen.
    Wo bekomme ich jetzt die neue Firmware LE06 her?
    SSD Modell: SSDSA2BW160G3L
    Notebook: T420s

    Ich konnte das Problem jetzt ohne neue Firmware lösen.
    Ich habe die Intel SSD Toolbox installiert: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?​DwnldID=18455
    In der Toolbox habe ich Secure Erase ausgeführt. Nach einem Neustart hat die SSD jetzt wieder ihre 160 GB.
    Die Daten sind zwar weg, aber man hat ja ein Backup.
    Die LE06 Firmware wäre trotzdem super, damit beim nächsten Stromausfall nicht das gleiche passiert!

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 13 2011 work with the Intel SSD?

    I've been trying to upgrade my macbook pro to an ssd (using stock original 5400 rpm 320 gb HDD) but so far I've been reading for like 2-3 hrs and came to a conclusion. Intel is the most reliable and most highly recommended. However, Intel SSD doesn't work with the new Macbook Pro 13" & 17" because of some cabling SATA III issues. Does the issue still remain or has it been fixed? If it hasn't been fixed, what is the current most highly recommended and reliable and best in terms of speed, reliability, and just...best SSD available that works best with the 2011 MBP? Can anyone help me out? Ive been reading that OCZ and others are faster than Intel but less reliable (higher failure rates) and MBP can't take advantage of faster 6/Gbps RAID III or something. help me!!! Should I just wait?

    If you search the web, you will predominately read about problems, not good experiences.
    I don't believe Intel is any less subject to issues, than the Sandforce SSD drives.
    Buy from a reliable source with a good return policy and warranty.
    OWC is well regarded.

  • Intel ssd 510 and encryption MBP 13" Core i7 late 2011

    Hi all,
    I have a MBP 13" core i7 late 2011 und bought a new Intel SSD 510. After complete fresh installation of 10.7.2 and other apps I activated FileVault. After that, system freezes quite often, Finder crashes and so on. I did a secure wipe, installed it again and encrypted the drive again, this time with PGP whole disk encryption, same result. System freezes, filesystem corrupt and other **** things happened.
    Any suggestions?

    (1) On my three 10.9 Macs, upgrading did two very obvious things:
     • removed some useful features like the ability to set individual notification audio tones for different chat buddies and collaboration via iChat Theater.  (These features are not supported in OS X 10.9's Messages app that replaced iChat.)  There may be changes  I do not like in other apps, too, but these are two that I noticed.
      - and -
     • slowed my machines down as compared to OS X 10.8, particularly on booting, opening apps, and other CPU/System interactions.  The amount of slowing varied by machine, with my old 13" MBP being nearly unacceptable.  My i7 MBP is not nearly so bad, although the the difference is noticeable, perhaps 10% vs almost double boot time on my old 13".
    (2) To determine if upgrading will be a problem on your system, I suggest that you:
    • make a current Time Machine backup
    • configure  > System Preferences... > Time Machine to "OFF"
    • upgrade Mac OS
    • use your Mac long enough to see if you like the change
    (3) If you want to keep the upgrade, turn Time Machine backups back on and continue using the new OS.
    (4) If you don't like the upgrade, recover your system from your Time Machine backup.

  • K9N2 Diamond - bios does not recognise Intel SSD 520 series

    Hi,
    I have a K9N2 Diamond motherboard and BIOS v2.7. I recently bought an Intel SSD 520 Series and when I connect it, the BIOS does not recognise the HDD at all. When I try to install Windows 7, the HDD is shown at the list, but it says that I can not install Windows at the HDD.
    I have tried to connect the HDD at SATA port 5 and 6 and set the RAID mode to ACHI and also at ports 1 and 2 and set the RAID mode to IDE. Nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,
    George

    .and does the problem appears using the HDD which was equipped in this notebook?
    If the BSOD would not appear using the HDD, then a problem is realalted to the inserted SSD drive.
    In many cases firmware updates are released for SSD drives and in some cases this might be a solution.

  • Lenonvo T440 with Intel SSD SC2BF240A4L - failing to install apps via SCCM 2012 task sequence

    Hi there
    Wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue with a T440 with Intel SSD hard disk.
    Our firm purchased two Lenovo T440 laptops. One has a magnetic hard disk, the other a SSD hard disk. Here are the models:
    SSD hard disk:           Intel SSDSC2BF240A4L
    Magnetic hard disk:   500Gb 7200rpm HTS725050A7E635
    We deploy our Windows 7 build via a SCCM 2012 task sequence.
    Building the T440 with the magnetic hard disk was trouble free. I built it repeatedly, and encountered no errors; our core applications installed successfully every time and the task sequence completed successfully every time.
    All well and good.
    Building the T440 with the Intel SSD hard disk has been frustrating. When I run the task sequence on this machine, 8 times out of 10 the task sequence will fail, either stopping abruplty at installing Oracle Single-Sign On or Appsense agents. When the task sequence fails it is ALWAYS at one of these two apps. 
    Frustratingly, sometimes the task sequence will complete successfully on this T440.
    Given we successfully deploy this task sequence to a variety of different hardware from different vendors, including other Lenovo laptops, I can only guess the Intel SSD hard disk is the culprit. 
    Has anyone encountred anything like this? I've went through the smsts.log file and other SCCM log files and can find nothing obvious. That this ONLY happens on the T440 with the SSD suggests to me the issues lies in that direction.
    I'll swap disks in either T440 to see if the other T440 fails also with the SSD aboard, to see what happens.
    Meantime if anyone has any information about this issue I'd be grateful if you coud share.
    Thanks

  • Intel SSD in MacBook Pro

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Macbook Pro 15, mid-2009. I put a SSD in it. However, it's getting slow gradually. My question is how to restore the Intel SSD performance like brand-new. Please as specific as possible, thank you.

    How long have you had the drive?
    How hard do you use it?
    How do you know its slower – through everyday usage or through benchmark tests?
    This is the issue with SSDs - they slow down over time. Its the way they store and then remove data. Basically, when you delete something, its marked as deleted but not actually removed from the disk. Hence, next time you write data to them particular memory blocks, it needs to wipe the old data and replace it with the new, which takes a little more time.
    There is a feature called TRIM, which basically runs when the drive is idle, and sets about 'cleaning up' the disk so that its ready to be written on, and hence faster.
    However, firstly your SSD must support TRIM, and your OS must also support TRIM. Currently the only OS that supports TRIM is Windows 7, unfortunately. It seems that with the recent 10.4.6 update, TRIM support is being added to Snow Leopard as it is listed in the system properties, but its not actually 'switched on' yet. Maybe Apple haven’t quite got the full functionality going yet......
    SSDs come with an ‘Indilinx’ controller built into them. This is a slightly older controller, which needs TRIM since, as you’ve noticed, the drive tends to slow down over time.
    However, newer, and more expensive SSDs, are being released with a new ‘SandForce’ controller. There is secrecy around how this controller works, but its reported to do the TRIM feature on-the-fly – so it doesn’t suffer from slow down issues. I have a Vertex 2 SSD, which has the SandForce controller, and although I haven’t had it very long, its as fast as when I first installed it, and it should stay very close to this speed, as other people who have SandForce drives have noticed with their benchmarks.
    The only way to speed up you drive to how it was when new, at the moment, is to use a tool to perform a clean reformat (a normal format wont do). You’ll need to search Google for a tool that does this with SSDs as I haven’t looked into any. The downside is that you obviously need to reinstall everything from scratch afterwards – hence it comes down to whether you can be bother to go through the procedure. Your SSD should still be much faster then a HDD even in its ‘slow state’.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize second Intel SSD on W701

    Hello,
    I recently added a second Intel SSD to my W701.  Windows 7 shows the new SSD in the Hardware Manager but W7 does not assign a logical drive number to the new SSD.  The new SSD does not appear in My Computer.
    Do I need to format the new SSD?
    If so, how do I force W7 to format the new SSD?
    And why didn't W7 format the new SSD when it was discovered by the Hardware Manager?
    Thank you

    Windows never formats a drive without explicit user instructions.
    In the Start search, type in "Create and format hard disk partitions" and use Disk Management to assign a drive letter.
