Re: New Portege Z830
How do I boot from a USB or my SD card with the z830?
Hitting F12 gives me access to the boot menu and bios setting, and changing the boot order doesn't do anything. USB and SD card boots perfect with all my other laptops, except for the z830.
I want to explore Linux and the world of live USB.

In the real worold doing typical things like surfing, e-mails and Word...not really as everything you are relying on is disk access speed which is similar in all SSDs.

Using the ones at the back, and I've even tried to use an SD card.

Re: New Portege Z830
This blog says you should use the USB3 port.

I doubt SD card boot works. Laptops generally have their SD card slot via PCIe I believe, unless the manufacturer decided to work extra magic, SD card booting only works when the laptop has SD card via USB.

Re: New Portege Z830
So... you are able to change this "max" vs "eco" performance in the bios for the MyDigitalSSD drive, but you are unable to see this setting for the Toshiba drive? Originally Posted by 1806

Re: New Portege Z830
The Z830 uses an mSATA SSD. Anything mSATA should work, unfortunately, I don't think there are any mSATA SSD's over 128GB available just yet.
