Windows 10: Sata ssd

What is the difference between SATAI,II,and III? I want to buy one from EBay. Its a Seagate SATA I for only $11.00 160gb don't need much more than that. Just enough to hold small docs and for surfing.

:)

 

windows will not boot. need help please!

Hi,

In the BIOS is the SATA connections set as SATA or IDE... Need to be SATA, and AHCI for most SSDs to work properly...

I had a similar problem with my 1st SSD...

 

SSD samsung 850 pro (512Gb) freezes randomly with storahci error - "Event ID 129 – storachi – Reset to device, DeviceRaidPort0, was issued"

I double checked my BIOS configuration and i have the following

1) SSD Samsung 850 Pro (512GB) is connected to port1 (sata-3) of the Intel chipset SATA Controller

2) SSD OCZ Vector-180 (480GB) is connected to port2 (sata-3) of the Intel chipset SATA Controller

3) BDRW Pioneer BDR-207 is connected to port4 (sata-2) of the Intel chipset SATA Controller

4) HDD WesternDigital WDC WD4003FZEX-00Z4SA0 (4Tb)

is connected to port1 (sata-3) of the Asmedia SATA Controller

So i'm 100% sure that all of two of my SSD including Samsung 850 Pro are connected to Intel Chipset Sata Controller to the sata-3 ports.

I'll try to install Asmedia SATA Controller Driver from the Asus Rampage V and let you know if problem presist.

 

This is the SSD I want to buy for the Lenovo N22 Thinkpad. Will this work?

You said you wanted an SSD. But the drive you reference is not an SSD. It's a conventional disk drive.

It's not even the 2.5" small size drive meant for laptops. This is a 3.5" drive for desktop PCs.
Neither will fit inside this little netbook.
