QUOTE(rashad @ Apr 23 2010, 11:02 PM) hi guys i have a question i want to create another partition from C by shrinking c in Disk management tool and using that space to make another partion, my question will that effect the recovery key. i know this question was raised before and answered by jotaro 12 but he mentioned using Linux, i don't think u need Linux to do it since windows can. It should not affect the os recovery partition. However, to play safe, clone your os recovery partition before you resize & create a new partition. |

QUOTE(rashad @ Apr 24 2010, 11:14 AM) thx for the feedback, will check it out. but i am really surprised how come lenovo doesn't create an extra partition with good space for storage from the beginning, since it becomes a real problem for the buyer  . Do not ask "how come". This applies to Dell/Acer/Asus/Toshiba/Lenovo/Fujitsu/you name it. Well, they just "don't care". They only care and make sure the product is working fine as per factory setting. I don't understand why OKR can't work after creation of new partition. It's a software & bios issue (if the recovery command is programmed into BIOS). Acer "Alt+F10" can work just fine. This post has been edited by ALeUNe: Apr 24 2010, 11:26 AM |

QUOTE(Maverick_Neutron @ May 7 2010, 01:12 PM) Hey guys, noob question: I want to put an SSD into the Y460, but unfortunately I don't have a budget to buy a high capacity one, probably only could afford a 80GB disk. Is the laptop limited to only 1 slot and do you think it would be worth the hassle to use an 80GB SSD only? Storage isn't my main concern btw, all my movies and songs are mostly on the externals. But I do play alot of games, which could take up alot of space... You'll get the most performance gain from SSD upgrade. It is a MUST upgrade for notebook if you want to boost the overall performance. 64GB or 80GB should be find. Yes, there is only 1 slot for your notebook.

QUOTE(-pWs- @ May 7 2010, 01:40 PM) @ ALeUNe Will the warranty void after we change using SSD? -pWs-It depends on whether there is a "warranty void" sticker on cover under the notebook. For Acer, there is sticker right on the screw hole. You have to tear the sticker before you can remove the screw and cover. However, for ASUS, i think there is no sticker. I check with Acer SC, they say they will honor the warranty as the warranty is based on the S/N of the notebook. They don't really look at the "warranty void" sticker. |

QUOTE(-pWs- @ May 7 2010, 01:52 PM) How bout Lenovo? Any idea? -pWs-You check any "warranty void" sticker on the cover under the notebook. If no, you can just open the cover and slot in the SSD. |

QUOTE(Maverick_Neutron @ May 7 2010, 03:10 PM) Hrmm, you have a point, the price/capacity ratio is way too screwed up for SDDs. But, IINM the Y460 comes with a 500GB 5200RPM HD, would the performance boost be noticable if I change it to a 7200RPM unit? Coz I multitask alot and I really appreciate the speedy access times. An SSD would probably reduce alot of heat and increase battery life at the same time., although the price is still too high and the capacity is too low... hrmm...  I have used 2.5" 7200rpm HDD. The performance is no where near the SSD. For notebook, upgrading to SSD will give you excellent performance gain. I can't resist to SSD now. I even upgraded to SSD for my netbook. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/830613/+1267With SSD, your notebook is no longer notebook. It's running like high performance desktop. With SSD, your netbook is no longer netbook. It's running like notebook. Get what I mean?  |

QUOTE(Izwan898 @ May 7 2010, 10:29 PM) Bro, any changes in the power consumption after changed to SSD? Should be better in theory right? Theoretically SSD should have slight lower power consumption. But i think it negligible. However, you'll find SSD runs at much lower temperature. SSD is lighter too. For notebook, there are not many parts you can replace to boost the performance. SSD becomes the most crucial upgrade for notebook & netbook. You just can't skip that. This post has been edited by ALeUNe: May 7 2010, 11:39 PM |

QUOTE(-pWs- @ May 7 2010, 11:35 PM) If change to SSD, how to clone the HDD data to SSD? Any recommended software to do so? -pWs-Active Image 4.0 / Acronis True Image 2010 / Norton Ghost can do the job just fine.
Added on May 8, 2010, 10:21 amQUOTE(Maverick_Neutron @ May 8 2010, 12:50 AM) Bro, you sound like an ambassador or a priest from the temple of SSD.. heh.. jk chill. But yeah, can't deny the facts that its a big performance boost. If the Y460 has 2 HD bays, it would be a no brainer, but unfortunately has only 1.. so, have to think about it abit.. I might go for it tho, an 80GB module could be bearable... just...  Storage is not an issue. You can have SSD in your notebook. Take out the HDD from your notebook, get an enclosure and use it as external storage. This post has been edited by ALeUNe: May 8 2010, 10:21 AM |

QUOTE(samlee860407 @ May 8 2010, 11:51 AM) for notebook, shud be using : Intel X-25M Gen 2 80GB SSD rite? Both 80GB X-25M and 64GB Kingston SSD Now+ are the good SSD. I have both. x-25M in my 5745G and Kingston in my netbook. x-25M has the fastest read speed. Kingston SSD+ is slightly slower but it has balance performance in both read/write. |
