    Lenovo Y500 won't recognize new mSATA drive

    mine was found in disk management and I just had to give it a label and then format it. Unfortunately there is pretty much no way to install windows because lenovo thought it would be a great idea to not include a windows 8 product key with this laptop.

    Two Hyperx3k in RAID0 got new backup HDD and can't boot anymore

    I fixed it by making a bootable USB drive for win8 and then going through the automatic boot fixing thing on there (can't remember what it's called) but at first I thought it didn't work because it gave me errors saying it didn't fix anything. Then I tried booting back into win8 and voila...

    Two Hyperx3k in RAID0 got new backup HDD and can't boot anymore

    Hi, I've run into a bit of a problem since I got my new 3TB HDD to use in my main computer. The 3TB drive works perfectly fine when I use it along side my 1.5TB drive, and I spent all last night backing up my 1.5TB drive to my 3TB so that I may give my 1.5TB drive to my brothers as they need...

    I may be interested in both of them at once, save on shipping too.

    IdeaPad Y500 Laptop 3630QM, 8GB, 1TB, GT650M 2GB, 1080p - $819

    Just wanted to say that the build quality on this laptop is much better than I expected, and man is it Sexy. The screen is very nice as well, it only seems to distort color when looking at it from the bottom at an extreme angle. All other angles the screen is perfect. Also, I overclocked the...

    IdeaPad Y500 Laptop 3630QM, 8GB, 1TB, GT650M 2GB, 1080p - $819

    Hmm, two questions then, first where did you order the screw from? I need to order one too. Also, any idea if the msata slot is sata III or sata II? I've heard both things, and I really hope it is sata III.

    My 7970 ghz was getting to 90+ temps on overclock, but then I replaced the thermal paste with some MX-2 and they went down to under 70.

    Crucial 256GB M4 mSATA SSD $160

    It ended up coming back in stock early this morning and I placed an order. Entitlement? I asked if they would extend the promo, and it took them a very long time to tell me no. Then they offered to compensate me for it anyways because of the long time it took to give me an answer. I was very...

    Crucial 256GB M4 mSATA SSD $160

    Well, I had a stroke of great and then terrible luck. So I called CS and asked if they would extend the promo, they said no but it took them like an hour to tell me that. So, they gave me store credit as compensation for my time, and they ended up giving me $30 credit. (same as the coupon so...

    Best choice for MSATA SSD in a laptop?

    Unfortunately I believe the Y500 uses a special type of ultrabay that makes it simply snap into place, and it is quite a bit larger than a regular ultrabay (as it can also be used to add a second graphics chip into the laptop). I'm going to have to take a closer look tomorrow though and check...

    IdeaPad Y500 Laptop 3630QM, 8GB, 1TB, GT650M 2GB, 1080p - $819

    Could you try getting the msata slot visible? Or take pictures of what you can see? I'm trying to purchase an SSD for this laptop but I can't get a 2.5" drive because lenovo (according to their phone sales rep) wont have ultrabays available for at least two-three weeks, so I guess I'm getting an...
