Did the quick test, all passed

Need reply A.S.A.P
to all those upgraded HDD to SSD:
which drivers/software did y'all reinstall on SSD to get y400/500 working optimally?
just wanna identify which are bloatware.
links of drivers are welcome.

How do you know? notebookcheck doesn't have any game benchmarks for 750m SLI nor the single 750m..

like you, I'm still waiting how 750m SLI would fare before buying another ultrabay

Hey guys, is it even possible to install BOTH a SATA SSD and a HDD to a Lenovo Y580? (Im not talking about a single hybrid drive)
Or is the only option available is mSata SSD + HDD ? I have a single 240gb SSD in my laptop and im starting to feel the lack of space. Looking for options.

I just look through the list of notebookcheck ( carefully this time )& yes, you are right. Notebookcheck doesn't have any game benchmarks for 750m SLI nor the single 750m.
However,
game-debate.com shows some games will not be fluently played on ultra setting.

You can put your SSD at the HDD there, and move your HDD to ODD.

Lol, he did stated Y580.

Hi guys,

I wanna ask the following questions for Lenovo Y580:-

1) Anyone here has successfully upgraded to 16GB RAM?
2) Does our Y580 support 16GB RAM?
3) Any performance gained upon the upgrading to 16GB RAM for gaming and daily performance? I afraid there will be bottlenecks somewhere that even if I upgrade to 100GB RAM, it will still be the same.

Watch this video then you will know the difference.

Almost every laptop can get a hard disk caddy...
I got my Asus A42Jr a hard disk caddy just around RM60+

Get a ODD caddy, you put your HDD to ODD using the caddy and SSD in the HDD bay.

1 & 2) I haven't tried, but if I'm not mistaken 16GB is the total limit (means you can put in 2x8GB SODIMM)
3) this is depends on how you use your laptop. Huge RAM capacity will only helps you in multitasking and executing applications that demands high memory. If you are seeking to improve framerates or something else, high likely it won't help. I would suggest you at least go into Task Manager and check how you use your memory. If the free memory is getting low all the time, then go increase your RAM. Else, just stick with whatever you have right now unless you got extra money that you don't know where to spend. However, when it comes to laptops/notebooks, not so much things you can do to upgrade...

Except for Y400 & Y500 where they use UltraBay for ODD.

hi. one question.

no

I'm interested in buying one too. 256GB SSD seems not enough for me.
A few posts back this guy mentioned bout Ultrabay.
But the price is quite expensive.

Hi all, I am having problem on the SLI configuration for Y500 SLI GT650M. When the laptop is connected to 170W adapter, boot up from previously shut down state, it detected 2 x graphic card and SLI function correctly. But whenever I restart the laptop, it detect only single graphic card. If I shut down and turn on again 2 x graphic card is detected.

I am running Windows 7 Pro. Please help.

thanks.

Hi tph84,
have you updated the drivers?

Here is some diagnotics from Lenovo you could run to see what is wrong.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_MY/diagnose-a...D=LENV-DIAGS#hd

By the way, who did you buy your Y500 from & did you ask them about this problem?

Hope this helps

The price is included one 750GB hdd.
Which mean you paid for the ultrabay and hdd.

Correct me if i am wrong.
