Hi, my brother just bought the Y580 at the PC fair just now, and after we installed most of the updates only we noticed something wrong.

The USB 2.0 port at the right side doesn't work. It doesn't detect anything plugged in, mouse or flash drive, but when plug in a external hard drive, it powers up the ext hard drive.

Anybody kena this problem before ah? I trying to see if got driver can help or not =.=.


Btw, the screen damn nice. And i'm using it to type this, not bad the feeling and layout. Later only test games.

So, I went and changed a new one, and now trying it out.


The temps are always around 50 to 60, is that normal? and how do I know the temp of the GTX 660?


This replacement unit has artifacts T.T Only when playing games will see it flashing the whole screen >.<

I wish the Y580 came with more space to put a second drive, so I can have both a HDD and SSD. Their option of using a small SSD isn't worth it

*eh, I can buy a mSATA SSD from outside and use as standalone dive right? First time I asked the guy, he said the 32gb SSD is only for a speed boost, not as a standalone drive

Thinking of getting the Crucial M4 mSATA

I think I'll keep as it is, and find a mSATA SSD to use a drive for OS and games.

nope
any mSATA can be used as cache or standalone drive.
Putting the Drive mode from ACHI to Raid will enable the caching method.

imo, for the SSD solution in Y580, i recommends using mSATA instead of transfering your harddisk to caddy.

Quite some customer walk into my shop buying Y580 but with their own caddy bay bought at forum.
The built of the caddy directly affect the slotting which will leave out extra space that the whole caddy is quite "Koyang"

Mechanical harddrive is very sensitive of vibration especially when you're working with your unit.

you may find mSATA from my siggy


Added on December 19, 2012, 1:24 pmbtw, i'm doing a full review of Local Y400 review. where should i put the thread at a?

Wokay bro, I'mma get a mSATA SSD just to speed up loading a bit XD

I can just plug it in, then copy the whole C drive over, set it as boot drive and it'll work right? Then wipe the original C drive and use as storage. I did that for my desktop when migrating to SSD, but dunno will work in laptop or not, but I already call my bro backup everything, so fail should be no prob
