Cube iWork5x SSD upgrade

[Rich Leyden]

How well does this drive work?  I was considering exactly the same Kingspec SSD for my newly purchased iWork5x.  For example, have you tried comparing read/write speeds of the Kingspec SSD with the installed 64 G drive?

Works really well, read/write of 500/380. Around 5 times faster and 4 times more storage for $70. Windows did a good job of installing the drivers however the touchscreen is not responsive :(. I’ve emailed cube regarding getting a driver.

Cube do have a 8.48GB windows 10 installation package listed on their site but it requires a 3rd party plugin and I think you have to be Chinese to get an account.

My bios did not see the SSD either, at least not as a bootable drive (because it has no boot partition on it yet). The drive should be already formatted. It appears as though your windows can see the SSD so that is good. You can go ahead and run a Windows 10 Bootable Media USB. It should detect the new drive and you will be able to install fresh Windows onto it.

I would recommend deleting the boot and system reserved partition from the old Toshiba drive but it doesn’t really matter if you don’t.

hi,

 

thank you for your too long answer…………..;in fact my problem seems to act like an adminstrator, so i connect as an administrator and i and solve the problem about pool storage and in the same time  i choose pool storage in simply mod and not double, triple or parity, not active unlesse i have two ssd disk, and it s ok, win 19 transferred on ssd, and change the boot in bios, but how to be sure started on the ssd? can i format the original 64 go ssd system???

I ordered the the Kingspec SSD Oct 1 ($74.74) and got it today.

Using Crystaldiskmark, the iwork5x 64 GB drive has;

106 MB/sec read and 19 MB/sec write.

The new 256GB SSD is:

561MB/sec read and 499MB/sec write.

I still haven’t got the trackpad working consistently under Ubuntu (Manjaro works after reloading ic2_hid)
