Information required to select SSD
    To select SSD you need to know:
  • Motherboard and processor model
  • Desired Drive Size
  • Desired Drive Form Factor
  • Purchase budget
  • The operating system to be installed on the SSD
  • Shop \ city for orientation in prices and assortment

Test flash memory SSD program H2testw
H2testw- a tool for the detection of faulty memory cells of removable data storage module, which has become the standard for verification of the real volume USB-flash drives and SD-card. Is also used to check the broken sectors on the hard drive, but with a twist, which is told below. Test flash drives or HDD can be carried out in an environment of any modern operating system from the software giant.
Instructions and description of the program H2testw
H2TestW is a small, but very useful program for testing "quality" and high-speed characteristics of any types of flash drives. The essence of the work of the H2TestW program comes down to the fact that it knows how to record the test file to the flash drive you specified, and then read it. This records the recording speed and read from this drive. In addition, if the loss of data or errors will be detected during the recording or reading process, the program will notify you about it. This utility can provide information about what is the volume of the test drive, how many MB is damaged and how much is in working condition. I will write about the very algorithm of work below, as well as give decoding to the test results.

How to work with the English version of the program:
Download the archive and run the h2testw.exe file, then select the language “English” (or “Russian” if you downloaded the Russian version, but more about it later).
Next, select the test drive “Select target” and go to the “Data volume” item.
Here we select “all available space” - in order to test the entire drive in whole or “endless veryfy” and indicate the size of the recorded file in order to test the drive partially.
Then press “Write + Verify” to start the test of writing and reading, and if the flash drive has already been tested and there is a file, only “Verify” will be lit, which will perform the read operation and verify the integrity of the previously recorded file.
Next, an information window appears, in which we see general information about how to test the drive. We are shown the average write / read speed, the time until the end of the operation, and the overall progress bar.
At the end of the operation, we can get the following results:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files * .h2w or verify again.
Writing speed: 5.05 MByte / s
Reading speed: 11.4 MByte / s
H2testw v1.4
This result indicates that the test was successful. The average write speed to disk = 5.05 MByte / s, average read speed = 11.4 MByte / s.

Bad test result:
The media is likely to be defective.
1.8 GByte OK (3954734 sectors)
5.8 GByte DATA LOST (12240850 sectors)
Details: 2.9 GByte overwritten (6240208 sectors)
0 KByte slightly changed (2.8 GByte corrupted (6000642 sectors)
8 KByte aliased memory (16 sectors)
First error at offset: 0? 0000000000003830
Expected: 0? 358d089906064530
Found: 0? 158d089906064530
H2testw version 1.3
Writing speed: 2.53 MByte / s
Reading speed: 6.51 MByte / s
H2testw v1.4
Now we see that when testing a drive with a capacity of 8 GB, errors were found, of which only 1.8 GB is available for normal recording (1.8 GByte OK), and the remaining 5.8 GB (5.8 GByte DATA LOST) cannot be used, since memory is corrupted. The average speed for this storage medium = 2.53 MByte / s, the average read speed = 6.51 MByte / s

Another bad test result:
The media is likely to be defective.
0 KByte OK (0 sectors)
3.8 GByte DATA LOST (8030208 sectors)
Details: 327.7 MByte overwritten (671296 sectors)
0 KByte slightly changed (<8 bit / sector, 0 sectors)
3.5 GByte corrupted (7358912 sectors)
327.7 MByte aliased memory (671296 sectors)
First error at offset: 0x0000000000000000
Expected: 0x0000000000000000
Found: 0x000000000ffff000
H2testw version 1.3
Writing speed: 3.19 MByte / s
Reading speed: 0.99 MByte / s
H2testw v1.4
In this test result, it is written that this flash drive is not suitable for use, since it has an O KB of “living space” (0 KByte OK (0 sectors)) from a volume of 3.8 Gb.

What kind of SSD can be put on the HP Notebook 15 DB0378UR laptop (5MH41EA)?

Instead of HDD any, 2.5-inch. Is there a M.2 connector on the motherboard, so as not to touch the HDD to install more and SSD - I do not know, ask the manufacturer, on the relevant forums or look for Service Manual on the Internet.

Good day!
I want to purchase an SSD to replace the hard disk in Lenovo B590 laptop (Intel Hm70 chipset, Pentium 2020m, 4GB RAM). Mom enjoys a laptop (sits on the Internet, watching the video, communicates in Skype). I plan to put it W10 LTSB. Advise inexpensive, but reliable models. Judging by the specification, the MSATA connector must be in the laptop.
Thank you in advance!

In WOT (I do not play in them, but it set up to many, "tankers" we have to fond) in the Update Utility Setting "Use all computer resources when updating".
It approximately it sounds. Remove the checkbox with it - the system will become responsive by significantly when updating - and the interface and the processor loading.

Answer to your ownquestion. I had great helpamvei.
After I did not find a response, I decided to send SSD under the warranty. I exchanged SSD, I came new, but did not pass and half a year and the problem is the same (so I probably do not recommend this firm, well, this is not the fact that the factory firmware flies only so). I did not want to send any more warranty, I decided to reflash.

My steps were such:
1) downloaded from thisthe site

files.
2) disassembled the disk, there it is necessary to make a flat scuffer to make a gap from two sides and the cover will disappear

.
3) I looked at what my memory I had (alas in the firmware of this memory did not turn out, but the program "Samsung" was determined in the program)

.
4) inserted the jumper into these two contacts (you may have the location of the contacts Other, the main thing is that you have found where it is written by the ROM and that contact which is about the white rectangle, you need to close)

, other location of contacts

.
5) After connected to the interface (the computer is in the off state) SATA 3 and turned on the computer.
6) I went to the first archive clicked on "Scan Drive" and decided as a flash drive in 1024 MB

.
7) Next, I moved to the "Parameter" tab When the bunch of errors ignored or simply did not want to sew, began to change 3 parameters (indicated in the photo) and passed to other archives, then again to another archive and so on until I found the final one. With the final I flashed with the Hynix or Samsung parameters, I do not remember exactly. But when I pressed the MANUAL tab, I was given the memory of "Samsung 60 GB", but then I chose Samsung to 128 GB. In fact, I just came through Hynix, Intel and Samsung and that's it.

8) When I found the desired archive (I helped the archive SM2246XT_MPTOOL_P0920A) ->I also selected the first time, the program did something in the progress column, the blue line was constantly filled, after that, as she finished, issued an error, I pulled out SSD pulled the jumper and put it back and then flashed with the same parameters. And in place where there was a word Test was a green circle.
9) everything. Then the disk earned and he will need to broadcast the sectors in a new way, whatever it is determined (as a new disk sometimes). Press the Win + R keys on the keyboard and enter the diskmgmt.msc to the "Run" window. If you do not figure it out further, look at the Internet, there are many videos about it there.

It makes no sense, he and in Russia as much, look at the market. I wanted to 1 TB, Kingspec comes out somewhere 6400. This is without coupons that will certainly be on black Friday. And for 9-10 thousand, it is possible in Russia to take with a guarantee. The same ADATA GAMMIX S11 PRO is good.
