Dell :: SSDs In XPS M1530
Jan 26, 2009I recently purchased a brand spanking new, fresh off the press, newborn baby of an XPS M1530 with the 256 GB SSD.
I used the 25% off coupon, so I basically got it for free along with the four year warranty and four year accident protection.
The question I have is: what kind of SSDs are they using? Are the drives Dell uses proprietary as a previous thread asked (which I seriously doubt they are), or are they OCZ, Intel, Toshiba, etc.?
Dell :: Why Are The SSDs So (relatively) Cheap
May 24, 2009Dell M1730: 320gb 7200rpm to 128gb SSD is $100, and to RAID 256gb ssd (128x128) is $300
HP HDX 18t 320gb 7200rpm to 160 gb SSD + 500gb 5400rpm (who wants that?) is $600.
Sony AW: 320gb 7200rpm to 64gb SSD + 500gb 4200rpm (!) is $420.
Are the SSD's that the Dells use worse quality or something? I really want an SSD with my next laptop, and I'm leaning towards HP or Sony because I think I want an 18.4 inch model, but it really, really surprises me that the Dell SSDs are so much cheaper. Anyone have an explanation, or am I missing something obvious?
Dell :: M6400 Component UpgradesOpinions Sought, SSDs
Dec 11, 2008m6400 with a single 200gb HD which is not really enough space.
At the moment I am trying to decide between doing one of the following
1. Buy 2x320gb 7200 WD drives and raid 0 them up WD 320 : 66.69 * 2 = COST 134 GBP approx Total Space 640 Gb
2. Buy 1 320 hdd and 1 60 gb SSD to boot off SSD : 137.99 + WD 320 : 66.69 = COST 205 GBP Total Space = 380 GB
3. Buy 1 320 hdd and keep the 200 gb drive its coming with
COST 67 GBP - Total Space = 520 GB
I would like it to be quick (obviously)
Does anyone know how a single SSD compares to twin 7200 hdds in raid 0 ? (approx)
The SSD I would probably buy is the OCZ "solid series" (read "budget series") but it still appears to be quick at least according to the OCZ site, I couldnt find any actual reviews of it because I think its too new (its the red coloured one).
Im a little afraid of the risks involved with raid 0 plus the fact that I couldnt just swap out one of the drives without loosing the array.
Maybe a single 7200 is ok. Has anyone any experiance with this SSD?
Also second thing
I am also thinking of buying some more RAM - the 2 brands I am looking at are OCZ and G.Skill
They are both identically priced and the only 2gb dimms for ddr3 that the shop I am looking at stocks.
Sony :: ExpressCard SSDs For New Vaio Z
Apr 28, 2010As a proud Vaio Z owner (and at the same time a poorly payed PhD student), I opted for the cheap Z with the 128GB SSD and I am already almost at full capacity.
I am looking for someway to expand my available storage. SD cards would be one option but high capacity ones are expensive, read/write speeds are not that good and I have had reliability issues with most removable media I've used in the past so I would not want to put my work-critical files on them.
I have come across these expressCard based SSD drives:
Amazon.com: Wintec FileMate 48GB Ultra ExpressCard Solid State Drive 3FMS4D48M-WR - PCI-e, Mini USB 2.0: Electronics
that seem to provide relatively good performance. However they seem a bit unreliable from the reviews, so I am still not particularly keen on getting one.
Has anyone come across any viable alternatives to the above drives?
Sony :: VAIO Owners That Have SSDs
May 17, 2009Interesting article here:
[url]
What do you say about this, is it true, did you notice and reduce of speed and after how long?
I plan to buy a RAID 0 SSD Z serie notebook, but if this problems are true, I just need to stick with my current SZ for some time then.

Dell :: Samsung SSD Trim
Feb 20, 2010I have been looking around for the answer to this but I'm still not sure.
I downloaded HwInfo32 and it says my firmware version is "Drive Revision: VBM24D1Q"
And then below it shows "TRIM Command: Supported (Indeterminate Read After TRIM)"
Does this mean mine already has the trim firmware?
Dell :: Samsung LED 1330
Nov 6, 2008i currently have two 1330s... one with LED and one with CCFL
The LED is a toshiba LCD2306, the CCFL an AUO Optronics, the CCFL looks MUCH better which seems to me total nonsense since the LED is supposed to be better in all aspects.
I will be contacting customer service. Should i be asking specifically for the samsung LED?
Dell :: Samsung SSD In Studio XPS 16
Sep 13, 2009I was wondering if anyone else has the 128GB Samsung SSD in their Studio XPS 16 and having stuttering issues?. Lately I have been having a lot of stuttering issues in which the mouse cursor freezes up.
Also, anyone running Windows 7 on it? I cant seem to get higher than 5.9 as the HD score under WEI. Anyone got a higher score?
Dell XPS M1330 :: Can't See New Samsung SSD 840
Jan 16, 2013Just bought a Samsung SSD 840 series 500GB drive to improve the performance of my Dell m1330. Placed the 840 in a HDD - USB adaptor and migrted the OS to it. Unfortunately the bios can't see the new SSD even though the 840 should be backward compatible with SATA I and II. The bios revision in my m1330 is A15 and I have tried both ATA mode and ACHI mode without any succes. Tried the drive in another m1330 same thing but when trying with a Packard Bell the SSD works fine. Have any of you succesfully added a SSD 840 to your m1330
View 2 Replies View RelatedDell :: E6400 + E-Port Plus + Samsung LCD + LCD
Oct 8, 2008just got my new E6400 and I am having a problem with dual external displays. My displays are:
Samsung 204B (20", 1600x1200)
Dell 1708FP (17", 1280x1024)
The problem is the samsung only works using an analog VGA cable. If I even plug in the DVI cable, the samsung will not detect any output from the laptop/dock. I have tried installing the samsing display drivers, but that did not fix the issue. This was not a problem on my old thinkpad T41 that this new dell replaced, so although possible, I doubt the monitor has suddenly developed a bad DVI port.
If I use the Dell as the primary with the samsung hooked up using both cables, I can see two instances of the samsung, it just won't display anything until I pull the DVI cable.
My E6400 has the NVidia NVS 160 card. Running Vista 64 with the 64-bit NVidia drivers from Dell.
Dell :: Just Had My Grainy Samsung Replaced..
Jan 14, 2009I had a 1680x1050 Glossy LCD (SEC3350). I called up and Dell, jumped through the hoops and eventually had them send me a replacement LCD. I called the tech this morning and asked him who manufacturer was, he said LG..
I was ecstatic. In my excitement forgot to check that the sticker on the LCD infact said WXGA+ across the front.
Dell replaced my WSXGA+ screen with WXGA+
The screen quality itself is really good, but there are two things I'd like clarified before I place my replacement order again.
Dell :: 128 Samsung SSD With SXPS 16 Question?
Oct 13, 2009I am planning on buying my Studio XPS 16 as soon as Win7 comes out and i really want a SSD with it. Unfortunately, Dell only sells the Samsung SSD drive which has been getting so much negative press lately on Anandtech.
So my question is, what should i do?!?! Do i give up my dream and instead go with a standard Hard drive for now, or take a chance with the Samsung SSD
Dell :: M1730 And Samsung Monitor
Oct 9, 2008my system spec are in the sig and its attached to a t260HD model monitor. When ever i have SLI enabled, yellowy orange colors causer my pixels to shift left and then return to their normal position a the screen refresh rate, so its like they are ion both places at the same time, just blinky for a lack of a better word. Now this does not happen on my regular laptop screen, and when i disable SLI this does not happen either, I just got new 8800m GTX SLI from dell because that was thought to be the problem but its still continues, Ive changed alot of drivers does not seems to be doing anything for me, going to try the tweakforce ones soon. I was thinking maybe my DVI cable is bad? Test that out before i test other monitors. Was just reaching out for any ideas about this problem, would just like my monitor to hands down work =/
OK quick update, now that i have new cards i put the original Dell baddy drivers on and its not doing it..but thats is very strange...why would a driver make an only SLI and only external Monitor issue......and on another note i really cant stay on this driver, i get SLI hitching issues in eq2 with it crysis runs better on single GPU mode, i need to find a driver that does not cause this....also i found a tendency for my white colors to turn yellow on my laptop monitor from drivers at the same time i would be having the tearing if i was on my large monitor, but on the stock one i can close the lid and open it again and the whites go back to the right color...
Dell :: Samsung 226BW And 1710
Feb 23, 2008I can setup my display on my samsung 226bw so that it is the only display and that the internal lcd is turned off. It displays fine at 1680x1050.
However when I restart the laptop and get to windows the signal the laptop seems to send out is 1280x1024 (which the monitor reports). Windows still sets the desktop at 1680x1050 and the result is a desktop that is oversized for the monitor.
I can correct this by turning off the laptop, disconnecting the monitor, restarting the laptop and then reconnecting the monitor.
I can't figure out why it does this?
I have the Dell 1710 with 7900GTX and am using the NBF Mobileforce drivers v169.09 M4 drivers under xp pro.
I have also installed the drivers for the monitor as well.
Dell :: Samsung PM800 Performance Issues
Jan 24, 2010I have this SSD in my xps1645. I have noticed that the performance has degraded and my windows experience index is 5.9 (originally 7.4). To my knowledge the firmware I have supports TRIM: VBM24D1Q. I have been using this for over a month, and have about 90GB of free space. Also I have another laptop with the same 256GB SSD drive, and the WEI is 7.4. I also ran PC Mark vantage on both, and the xps1645 has half the score of what my other laptop has. Any explanations or fixes for this?

Oct 31, 2009Is the 120GB Samsung SSD that came with my M4400 considered slow by comparison to other SSDs now? I can't find any particular specs or comparisons that use this drive, but when I see other drives getting 200MB+/second, I know I'm not getting anything near that.
Also, is this a "first generation" drive that doesn't take advantage of Trim in Windows 7, etc.?
Also, I've tried searching for new drivers and firmware, but I don't see anywhere. I have Windows 7 64 on it now, and I've experienced a few BSODs, which is why I'm looking into possible driver/firmware causes. (Though I was also getting these occasionally in Vista 64.)
Dell :: 's 128gb (samsung) SSD Vs 7200rpm Drives

Dell :: D600 + Samsung 160GB PATA
Nov 27, 2008That seems like a really slow place, since I have already ordered a drive last Friday off Amazon, based upon what I have read on this site:
1 of Samsung Spinpoint M Series HM160HC 160GB PATA-100 5400RPM Laptop/Notebook Hard Drive - OEM
The outstanding question, I suppose, is wondering if this drive is going to work because it exceeds 120 GB. I also read around here of a larger drive being used than what another model's BIOS supported, where it just recognized as much as it could, so that wasn't a problem (there).
It's a Latitude D600. Its a 160 GB PATA drive. I got it for $75 w/o shipping.
At the dell forums, the thread is still there, and its the only post I've put there, but they say now that my email address is not in their database?
This site is 1000 times that one for me so far.
Dell :: TRIM Support W/ Current Samsung SSD
Oct 27, 2009So I was still confused about whether or not the SXPS Samsung SSDs would be able to accept the future firmware update (and thus be able to support TRIM). I contacted Dell's tech support via email and was told that the drives will support TRIM (though on 2 occasions he called it TRIP). I am not inspired by his lack of knowledge regarding the proper term and dont think that he is right. If I save the email would this help my case of getting a SSD from Dell in the future that does actually support TRIM?

Sep 6, 2008I need to swap out the LCD panel on an Inspiron 9400. It's the TrueLife high res (WUXGA?) 1920x1200. The current panel looks bright but a bit washed out.
Someone mentioned that there are multiple vendors for the panel, and that some are better than others. Dell said that their records show that my system has Philips/LG whatever that means (I didn't think the two companies were affilated, are they?)

Dell :: Lattitude E4200 Toshiba Vs Samsung LED Panel
Apr 26, 2009I've been researching the Lattitude E4200 and was wondering if people could chime in with more information about the screens available on the E4200.
I know that for the E6400, there is a lot of talk about screens, but it seems like there isn't for the E4200. I've read the few posts that there are regarding the two options that are available: Toshiba and Samsung.
Is there a general consensus of which one is higher quality? Does anyone have side by side comparison pictures? The information that I've read through is pretty scant in terms of not having many responses.
Dell :: Recent XPS M1330 Buyers, Which LED Did You Get (Samsung, Toshiba?)
Mar 13, 2009I just had a replacement done on my LED. I had a Samsung and now got a Toshiba. I feel that the Sasmung had better brightness and more vibrant colors. The Dell tech tells me that Samsung is not longer manufactured...
Has anyone who ordered recently gotten a Samsung LED?
To check, go to display settings, advanced setting, monitor, properties, details, hardware Ids:
LCD2306= Toshiba
SEC5441= Samsung
