R.O.G.

Hi!

I just joined the club! (although maybe not for so long)

My e6430 arrived yesterday. i3-2350, 4Gb, 320Gb, 2x60Wh T54FJ, very good condition, warranty. I live in Europe, and it had cost me my 2560p + 70$.

The BIOS version is A16, and the memory clock sped is locked down to 1333Mhz, although the module is 1600Mhz. Do previous BIOS versions have the same restraint?

I'm planning to upgrade (I already have a 16Gb 2133 HyperX kit in my other machine (and know about the problems too), and a Samsung 850 Pro 256Gb SSD, so basically a better CPU is missing only) but fist i would like to be sure that everything is OK with the machine, because it still has 1 month warranty. Could any long time user give advices, what to scrutinise?

This may be because you have an Sandy Bridge CPU on a Ivy Bridge laptop so try with Ivy cpu.

I have two 4gb 1600Mhz Crucial Ballistix Sport and i don't have this problem on my e6430 but i have it on my 2560p.

impressive!!! I have been dreaming for a while for such a setup... It can be costly though..

on the E6440 It would be fun to see a RAID0 3x250GB 850 (2 x sata & 1 x msata) touching 1,5GB/s R/W!!!

On the e6440 in Grub type:

1 - setup_var 0x19D

2 - setup_var 0x19D 0x1

3 - setup_var 0x19D

Hello everyone, I made a tutorial for those who want to unlock raid 0/stripping on the Latitude E6430.

This is my first post and i use Google trad because i'm french.

This is at your own risk.

I used the bios version "a16":

01 - You need to download "bootx64.efi" here "http://brains.by/posts/bootx64.7z" to change the setting that blocks raid0 in the bios.

02 - Extract "bootx64.efi" on a fat32 formated usb key in "EFI\Boot\" .

03 - Now, set the bios boot option in UEFI mode, enable Legacy Boot, disable Secure Boot, save and reboot.

04 - Plug your usb key on the notebook.

During the boot press "f12" to boot menu to choose the key in "UEFI mode".

05 - If all goes well, you should have boot on the key and be on "Grub".

06 - In the command line type first:

"setup_var 0x12D" and you should get "0x0" as answer. This means that setting is disabled.

If you get an another responce, cancel everything.

07 - After for enable this setting type:

"setup_var 0x12D 0x1" and normally the setting is enabled.

08 - At last type:

"setup_var 0x12D" in command line, validate and reboot to bios config.

09 - Set data transfer to "RAID Mode", apply and reboot.

10 - During boot press "Ctrl+i" to boot in Intel Rapid Storage.

Normally, we can now create a RAID0 array...

Here, an little benchmark of my two PM830.
