probook 6560b does not recognize my SSD

[alyosa2001]

Wait till you buy a zbook, to find out a four years old dual band 300 wifi card, a bright black value on an IPS panel, with contrast almost half the value of an 2012 elitebook, and a videocard that can render solitaire and minesweeper (probabily not at the same time). And don't you dare for better components, the whitelisting is not there for no reason. All theese on a business/workstaion class product.

PS Jan, I think you just found HP's way of problem solving...

You make me LOL :smileylol::smileylol::smileylol:

I find that way before 3 years 🙂

My experience with HP brand is very hard.

I have over 2000 clients with HP's hardware (desktop,workstations,servers,printers... etc..)

Do you know how many words I use to explain them some kind of issues and compatibility problems?

[alyosa2001]

Too bad about the good parts of their products, it's like they take some very good components, put them toghether nicely, using good materials and craftmanship, and in the end the project manager or marketing team or ceo or whatever, comes in and messes everything up, just because...

The philosophy on the econony schools must be "if you can't do a good thing, spoil it"

@HP engineers: When will this issue be fixed?

These laptops are how old? Max 2 years? And no new firmware updates?

Seriously considering about getting to another brand....sorry HP....:smileymad:

Did any one find a solution for making the Probook 6560b detect a Samsung 840 EVO SSD ?

[jderks]

I updated the bios of my laptop (http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=5045609&spf_p...) 

and i formated the disk and initialized it (Disk management). 

That did the trick for me.

(I did them both before testing so maby only one of those is needed) 

(samsung 840EVO 250GB SSD)

I did do all the things you advice.

But do you have the Probook 6560b and a Samsung 840 EVO ssd ?

Because i did read on a couple of forum of HP that there are more people's with the same problem and they still did not find a solution.

For me F.42 works on my sata3 drives, but only in sata2 mode

[andu157]

But that mean to say if its work in SATA2 mode that you will not use the performance of SATA3.

And i think that if you use SATA2 mode the performance (speed) will be half of what the drive can handle, is this correct.

I will test it tonight and let you know.

Absolutely. 200 MB/sec tops
