Jan 4, 2010Any firmware out for this yet? Or does anyone know of a workaround with another existing firmware?

View 5 RepliesSo 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?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a TT190 with a factory-installed SSD. As many of you are probably aware, Windows 7 support for TRIM greatly improves the performance of an SSD that is used over time. But the drive must support it.
Recently Intel, Samsung, Corsair and some other manufacturers have released new firmware for their SSDs that supports TRIM.
My TT190 contains a Samsung MMCQE28GFMUP-MVA SSD drive. I suspect that Sony uses that same drive (or drives from the same series) in other Vaio models.
I wanted to understand if there is any TRIM firmware already released or planned for this drive, so I sent an email to the relevant support group in Samsung. After two weeks I received the following reply:
Quote:
Thank you for your inquiry to Samsung Semiconductor.
At the end of this month or, if delayed, next month, we will open a web site on which all FW updates (including the VBM19C1Q, with ATA-TRIM) and tools will be available for easy update all devices PM800.
Unfortunately, the SSD model MMCQE28GFMUP-MVA is not supported in this FW update (it is not PM800 series) and there will be no support for TRIM in the future.
We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience using our products
I especially like the last phrase.....
I got a Dell Latitude E4200 with a Samsung SSD PB22-JS3 TM 64GB drive. Does anyone know if its firmware can be upgraded to support TRIM in Windows 7? Current
firmware version is VBM19D1Q. Seems like the version that support TRIM is VBM19C1Q. Doesnt that seem like a downgrade? I've had my notebook since October 2009 so I dont think it has TRIM support from the factory.
Firmware location I think is here: http://www.samsung.com/global/busine.../business.html
I've wondered about this while I was shopping for my Studio 15 and now I'm helping another NBR user also find one via Dell Outlet.
Graphite Gray (apparently no longer available on new models) was offered with Black, Red, Blue or Pink trim. What areas of the notebook are in the "trim" color? Also, can anyone describe the shade of blue used on the Graphite Gray with Blue Trim?
I 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?
Does anybody have any info on these? I looked around, but couldn't really find any.
I'm wondering if they studder at all, and just general impressions from anyone who has the one that ships from Dell.
I am planning to get a DEll E4200 and may I know what kind of 128GB SSD interface it is using within this laptop
View 5 Replies View RelatedLooking on Dell outlet and noticed that color scheme. I was wondering how it looks since I was planning on a Jet Black, but the Graphite Grey sounds nice too

Here's mine:
Does anybody have HD Tune or HD Tach benchmark for 1.8" 128GB SSD that comes in E4200 ?
I originally ordered refurbished E4200 with 64 GB SSD because I read it has better performance compared to 128GB model, but canceled the order because I realiezed 4 cell battery might be too small and the one I ordered does not come with fingerprint reader and bluetooth.
I ordered another one with 128GB SSD, fingerprint reader, 6 cell battery and bluetooth for just $40 more. (at cost of a little slower processor and no DVD-RW and latitude on capability )
I found HD Tune bechmark result for 64GB SSD, but I don't see benchmark for 128GB model.
I will be great if someone with 128GB SSD post HD Tune benchmark or at least post its modem number so I can read specifications.
R173J Module,Solid State Drive,128G S2,Thin Micro Sata,Samsung,XLO
This is what it says on my order, which is not very helpful in figure out what this SSD really is, other than its samsung model.
I finally got around to benchmarking this thing... As this is my first SSD I really didn't know what to expect, or if it is that great in comparison to others. Anyways.

Does anyone know the part number/manufacturer for the XPS 16's 128gb SSD. I just bought the 1645 with it and would like more info when I present the computer as a gift for xmas.

Have anyone done some tests yet?
I have recently bought a E4200. within a day i have used up the 64 Gb Hard Drive, is there any where i can find a compatible Hard drive for it other that the 128gb HDD.
if not, does anyone know where i can get the 128 GB hard drive from ?
I am trying to decide between the following 2 Z's which are approx. the same price.
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz / 4GB RAM / 128GB SSD / DVD±R/RW / Hybrid Graphics / 802.11AGN / WWAN / Bluetooth / GPS / Webcam / Windows 7 Professional [ SON VGNZ880GB ]
Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 2.66GHz / 4GB RAM / 500GB HD / DVD±R/RW / Hybrid Graphics / 802.11AGN / WWAN / Bluetooth / GPS / Webcam / Windows 7 Professional [ SON VGNZ850GB ]
I do everyday tasks like MS office,MS Streets, and use approx. 10GB for my multimedia files.
My first question is, will I notice the difference in speed? Will be the SSD with P8700 faster than the HDD 5400 RPM with P8800 in terms of boot,read-write documents etc?
If I go with the 128 GB SSD, how much free space can I expect to have on the drive after W7 ?
which drive is the better choice between the 128GB SSD (MLC) vs 320GB 7200rpm options currenlty on the Z690.
I've heard the MLC SSD's are fast in certain areas, but arent always the best options vs the 7200rpm drives yet... and have some issues with multi-tasking, etc. So basically, my question is how is the 128GB Samsung MLC rated vs the 7200rpm drives Sony uses?
I know Raid 0 is not very reliable, but can it be so unreliable that it dies after sitting shut for a day.
The laptop battery had 90% charge.
This was my third boot which I made to create a backup disk. I turned it on last yesterday and when I turned it on again today this is what I see.
1 .So I am left without recovery disks what to do?
2. Can we change the SSD's to Intel?
3. I tried a JBOD and tried installing Vista 64bit and it worked although I did not go
ahead with the setup.
4. Are Jbod drives slower than RAID 0? If so by how much.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently bought an OEM Vista Home Premium 64-bit and installed is yesterday. I chatted to a Dell tech support guy today and he essentially said that I wasted my money on the 64-bit OS as Dell laptops do not support 64-bit Operating systems. He said this was due to the fact that my processor (see above) was a 32bit processor. I however came accross this intel site;[url] whci i believe to be my processor that states it is a 64-bit processor.
Another thing; in the dell tech support application, my total memory is shown as 4GB, whilst my available memory is shown to be 2.6GB. Does this mean that all 4GB is not being recognised/utilised? Or does it simply mean that 1.4GB of RAM is currently being used, with 2.6GB left for when I need it?
I'm currently deciding whether to buy the XPS 1645, 6GB RAM, i7, 500GB model of the XPS.
Or a refurbished MBP for the same price. (The one with 256MB DDR3 VRAM)
My main focus is video editing in HD. I've been using Windows 7 and OSX so am familiar with both systems.
What it comes down too right now is the build quality and the potential out of both machines.
I've read numerous reports of "Heat" problems from the XPS1645 which kinda scares me from buying it, however the 1080p and i7 kinda interest me.
I got the XPS 1645 with the Blu-ray Burner (in Europe). Does anybody know if this player is region-free?
And if not is there a firmware update or some type of way to make it region free so that I can play region A (US) discs too?
I got a free Intel P9600 and wondering if it will work in the xps m1730? before i take apart the system i would like to know if it will work.
