where are the drivers and ssd utility software for this drive? It exists, but I cannot find any.

These generally will drop and run on most o/s systems, however there are Intel drivers at http://support.toshiba.com/drivers . I'm unaware of any other software for this disk. I just plugged it into my Mac and away it went, after correct OSX setup of course.

you probably need a SATA Cable, and also some brackets to mount the SSD. As the packaging don't come with brackets.

Hello there. Please pardon my ignorance but I don't know what that is. My SSD is currently in my Dell desktop PC

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

Most ssds don't supply any software. Google "todo backup Easeus". It's a free clone program that has worked perfectly for me. Download it and install it into the hard drive. Clone the hard drive onto the ssd. If you have never done this, youtube will play a video tutoring for this procedure.

Dude if you have a compaq, throw it out and I'll build you a real computer:). 800-707-2525. It would be a complete waste to put a fast SSD drive into a piece of crap. Of course this is not the SSD drive to get. The Samsung 840 pro is the one to get as it is almost double the speed for only $50 more. Well worth it. Plus the Samsung comes with software to keep it running fast where this drive will be running 1/5th the speed in about 5 months.

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

I did a search and found the User Manual, the Service Manual, and a Service Training site for the Helix. All state and show an mSATA SSD, not an M.2 SSD. Two videos on YouTube also show an mSATA drive.

My only experience is with the Icy Dock and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. In that case my first attempt produced the same results you saw. Checking things over, I realized that I hadn't made a full connection although the SSD appeared to be in the dock. With a bit more care, I was able to make a connection and the computer found the drive.

I believe the drive is TLC. Most makers of ssds now use tlc because of the 11 year life expectancy.

I think there is a SSD in there, however it doesn't show up in the OS (I don't know if it is part of the HD, like a combo or separate). I do notice that it seems to speed up after a couple boots. The HD in this PC is slow, but my often used programs seem to come up fairly quickly.

just do a fresh install its better! saves hassle and driver issue's and so on of many issue's, but those issues don't happen alot ! but non the less just get a windows 7 dvd or windows 7 bootable USB drive, Choose in bios to BOOT the windows 7 bootble usb drive install windows 7, it won't take you like 15mins.i'v used this SSD i got like 3 of them ! 1 on desktop! as boot drive for windows 7 1 on a MAC book pro for MAC OSX + Windows 71 on a normal laptop for windows 7 - linux !! and they all work perfectly fine ;)

There may be other methods but i used Acronis to create an image. put the drive in retriever Then restored to the SSD in the new computor.

Update: You need to be CERTAIN the ssd is MICRO sata, and the other connection is STANDARD SATA, as I see it. My mistake was not even knowing there was such a thing as SLIMLINE sata, but WTH... Six bucks...? NBD... I'd send you mine, but I never get anything done. 'Buried somewhere anyway...

Go to the OCZ website and download it. It's free whether or not you own their drive.I agree that it's always better to rebuild the system on a new drive if you know how to do that.

My SSD did not come with a cable. I believe there are other items that come with a cable.
