probook 6560b does not recognize my SSD

[Januzz]

Here's my benchmark with the Sandisk extreme 120 Gb that should be able to do +500Mb on a sata3 connection, my firmware is F25. This is so dissapointing, if i knew this notebook wouldn't support sata3 i never would have bought it..

There is a F25 out. Wanted to try but it was removed by HP. I found a thread here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-business-class-notebooks/601489-current-hp-business-bios-releases...

I found the SP5699.exe at google but i am scared to upgrade to it now....

And yes i tried with to new F22 and it does'nt work at all, not seen by the BIOS at all..and F25 was reparing a feature of BIOS crashing and not evert rebooting, but finaly it did not fix the problem so they remove it.

These is a Pain in the b..

Hi!!

 Agility 4 connected do 6360b - with bios F.22 huge problems with detection - works in only one of about ten times. With bios F.20 - undetectable on first attempt, then works, but crashes after putting laptop to sleep.

I wonder if HP will finally resolve this problem. It's unacceptable now .

Hi,

read carefully  http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-business-class-notebooks/650221-probook-6x60b-6x65b-ssd-whitelist...

and then decide for yourself.

Update:

  OCZ Agility 4 256GB updated to newest firmware (1.4.1.3) with bios F.22 works like a charm. Now waiting only for bios update with functional sata 3

Hi, i'm interested in buying a samsung 830 for my HP 6560b. Can you confirm that the SSD is still working in your notebook?

And is the speed still around 255 MB/s, although it's a SATAIII drive?
Can you send me a benchmarkscreenshot?

Thanks.

has anyone tried to F.27 BIOS and has it added back SATA III support for SSDs?

I've tried to install F.27 (sp57903.exe) to my HP6560b but it doesn't work: When trying to install you'll get two options: "Initiate BIOS update on this system". When trying to do that I'll get the error "This system doesn't have the needed WMI-Support for the HPQFlash Version. Please use HPQFlash < 4.0". If I use the option to create a bootable usb drive, the usb device gets formated and then three files are copied onto the usb device. The files are not in any folders and when rebooting and trying to boot from the usb-device or setting "update uefi" to yes, the update doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Could somebody help?

I've solved the/my problem. As described in "http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/SOLVED-BIOS-UPDATE-quot-SYSTEM-DOES-NOT-CONTAIN-the-N..." you have to activate the services "HP Software Framework" and "HP Service". After that the update to Bios F.27 (sp57903.exe) works. The SSD with SATA3 (OCZ Vertex4) I bought was found and works now fine. At least for now I've only rebooted like 4 times, reinstalled my system completly and haven't got any error, yet.
No responsibility is taken for the correctness of the details provided.  

[Edit:] The SSD worked the whole weekend without any problems, lots of installations and reboots. Seems fine

In german again: Nochmals auf Deutsch: Wenn das HP BiosUpdate F.27 (sp57903.exe - h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=5045605&prodNameId=5045607&swEnvOID=4060&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-107102-1 ) für das HP6560b sich nicht installieren lässt und mit dem Error "Dieses System enthält nicht die notwendige WMI-Unterstützung für diese HPQFlash Version. Verwenden sie eine HPQFlash Version unter 4.0" abricht, müssen die beiden Dienste "HP Software Framework" oder "HP Service" aktiviert werden. Danach klappte zumindest bei mir die Installation und meine SSD mit SATA3 wurde erkannt :-)

Alle Angaben sind ohne Gewähr! Risiko usw liegt beim Benutzer/Hersteller.
[Nachtrag:] Die SSD hat nun das ganze Wochenende ohne Probleme viele Installationen und Reboots überstanden. Sieht also gut aus.
