Installing SSD In y560

[joseph72]

already tried all of that but no cigar. 30 secs at best still.

I don't know what's left; I mean the performance of the SSD is equivalent to that of the X25-V I believe, which is probably a third of the performance of SSDs like the Vertex 2. You might do better with a premium SSD. 30 seconds sounds pretty awesome though; it takes longer for my laptop to get out of hibernation.

I've come to the conclusion that not having sandy bridge is the culprit to my doomed attempt at reaching a 15 sec boot time. anyone know where I can get a sandybridge mobo that will fit a y560d?

You can't, as far as I know, unless you own some company that doest contract repair/replacement work for Lenovo. I don't see why Lenovo would want to ship you a laptop motherboard and CPU. You might be better off getting a Sandy Bridge laptop. The SSD will still fit , as all the versions of the y560p use the same chassis and motherboard design.

hello community, I'll buy this model

I think they are a bit faster than the ssd intel 310 series but this is the one found with a capacity of not so poor, on its official website http://www.mydigitalssd.com/ get this:

Compatibility
ASUS Eee Slate EP121
Dell: M4500, M6400, M6500
Fusion Garage JooJoo
Google: CR-48 Chrome
Lenovo: K26, K47A, K47G
Lenovo IdeaPad: Y460, Y560
Lenovo ThinkPad: T420S, T420, T520, L420, L520, W520
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge: E220s, E420s, Y460, Y560
WeTab

I hope they are compatible with all y560, regarding the brand is not reliable if it is a have if somebody knows and tells us, also if someone clarifies the question regarding the IOPS, the difference is quite noticeable that is in front of 35,000 IOPS to 50,000 IOPS.

all msata ssds are compatible, but not all are good. The best quality is the intel 310. The others have weaker controllers, which will give a smaller performance benefit. Most of them are not good with small random reads and writes, which is bad considering that the benefit SSDs really give is in random access speedmaybe .5 or less ms access vs 5 ms in HDD. I Would jsut get the intel one. ITs going to be more reliable and faster.

Anyone have a good place to purchase one of these puppies? 

Intel 310 80GB

Danke!

Just an update, I recently purchased an Intel 310 80GB mSata SSD.  DROP DEAD simple to install and use as boot drive.

I ended up using the screw that was on the wifi card, since it stays in pretty snug w/o the screw.

Hey guys, i got a MyDigitalSSD 128G and installed it to my Y560 ( not Y560p). It works great. No problems of detection or installation.

Installed windows on the SSD and it boots up just fine!
