farrukh Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The SSD shipped with Y510p seems faulty. I can't format or re-partition it. I even tried parted magic. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebox3d Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Are you able to see it in the BIOS? Are you running directly off the disk when trying to format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy5 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Check what kind of disk you have. HDD and SSD or perhaps SSHD (hybrid disk) only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joom00 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 what makes you think it's faulty? default configuration (with HDD+SSD) is that expresscache dedicatesngff ssd for caching and therefore ssd drive is not visible in windows explorer. You can check if expresscacheis operational by admin cmd line eccmd -info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sellitus Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have a similar problem. The SSD shows up in the BIOS only when booting from an off state, but if the computer is restarted without being shut off fully it doesn't recognize it at all. From what I've found the SSD slot only accepts very specific versions of NGFF cards, in my case. Might be the same problem as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joom00 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 sellitus + andy... could you share screenshot of device manager / disk drives section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Is it possible to write anything to the SSD partition? or is it locked to boot only? (I was also told it's just a cache and not a true SSD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joom00 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 it's real SSD and you can de-activate expresscache completely (to have that ~20gb free for temp dir, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
