Anyone use SAN SSD for view (assessment xlr8r Whiptail)

Hello

We look at our environment seen running on a SAN - specifically a device XLR8R Whiptail - 1.5 to SSD and it dedupes so we should easily be able to adapt our fast environment on it at great speed. However, it is not certified by VMware (even if they can show me those who use it successfully). It's Citrix certified well and results were impressive.

So, no matter who uses a Whiptail or have general comments on SSD SAN to see?

See you soon

We have about 250 workstations running on replicas stored on disks SSD EqualLogic. We chose the SSD to eliminate any possibility of thunderstorms start because of disk bottlenecks. So far, we have seen no problems with them, and in fact, complete desktop computers, no cloned disc seem to run pretty instant. I have no knowledge of the device of Whiptail, well that sounds interesting with dedup functionality.

Do you have specific questions about SSDS?

  • Pavilion dm4-3090se: how to use the SSD after restoration of the system of Windows backup disks?

    Hello

    After a lot of work, I finally could restore my OS using Windows backup disks that I created a few years back. (The OS has been corrupted when the power has been accidentally deleted from the system and the battery was dead)

    Restoring backup widows put everything on 444 GB C drive.  Nothing I put on the SSD drive d:-20 GB and there is nothing in the tools of HP E: drive - 4 GB

    How can I make use of the SSD drive to help speed up the system?  I see the system starts and runs more slowly now.  I'm ready to blow the current operating system and re-run the Windows backup utility.  But I need to know how to use the SSD during the restoration.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hey @llebrez,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! This is a great place to find solutions and help our community!

    I understand that you have some information about using the SSD in your HP Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook. I'd be happy to help you with that.

    The SSD in your laptop is used for a technology called Intel Smart Response. Intel Smart Response uses the SSD as a type of Cache smart to help load the items faster. The reason why that is not used currently is because the restoration of the system is not designed to use the SSD for intelligent caching and is not able to establish that on its own.

    If you want to configure Intelligent caching on your laptop, you can follow this guide provided by overclock.net: how: implement the Intel Smart Response Technology (SSD caching)

    I hope this helps. If you have more questions that I'm able to answer for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Please hold me.

  • SSD for boot only on 1170 HPE-9.

    I just bought a 1170 HPE-9, and it came with a SSD 256 GB and a 1 to as the secondary drive. Is it possible to configure the computer to just use the SSD for boot only, and have all new program of these games, videos and large files to use the 1 TB.  Somewhere, I continue to move these files to the 1 TB drive, but some of the reasons that some programs can do, but others install automatically on the SSD (C:\), fills the SSD so fast.

    Are there any suggestions or comments to avoid such as Itunes or any portal application of games to download directly on the 1 TB.  I know that before the application is downloaded it normally asks you where to install, but in many cases, is not.  I just want to put the SSD just to boot only and the necessary windows files.  Is there a setting in Windows 7 I need to change or RAID configuration or any?

    Yet once, I enjoy comments and/or suggestions.

    Hello

    You can use Windows 7 to move several folders listed under your user ID.

    C hard drive :--> users--> 'your name'---> you can then right mouse click on folders such as: my videos, my music, My Documents, my pictures, Favorites, then choose location. Then use Move to move the file and remap the location on the desired location (1 TB HDD). See the example below.

  • If I use the SSD to initiate the operating system and a hard disk of data what exactly will be the benefit of this end?

    Hello

    I would like to know if I use the SSD drive for the operating system boot and a hard drive for data. What will be the benefit of this effect,

    I know that SSDS starts much more quickly and reads and writes data faster.

    When I use the SSD for OS then my only wil advantage so I have faster from the OS, not more than

    but the reading and writing data wil either by the hard drive so I wil not use all the benefits of the SSD, data wil be read and written by hard drive!

    Am I right or wrong?

    SSD benefits for most of the time of loading, and it is for all software. If you install Windows on a SSD and return to a HARD drive after a few weeks you will certainly appreciate the value of an SSD, just for the

    only the loading.

    While startup in Windows is the most obvious, the Windows advantage is usually a bit snappier

    on an SSD.

    An SSD expected to also help in many programs such as Photoshop, video editing, the processing speeds

    or CAD, due to data being created during the writing of these programs.

    I think the reads and writes more visible with large files.

    All my programs are on the SSD, but my games are on the HARD disk.

    Games to load a large number of data and will load faster on an SSD, but it's still a few seconds.

    and as games use a lot of Go, it is not really profitable to keep (150 +) on an SSD.

    -J' I keep most of my data, except the music (to save space) in my user folder, but haven't really

    noticed a difference in speed when opening a data file, such as a Word, PDF, images, or similar

    'small' files from the HARD drive.
    -I wouldn't take an SSD less 120 GB. Try to run Windows on a 60GB translate too

    stuffing autour with management of data between the SSD and HDD. In particular, as it should be

    keep 20% an SSD free to allow the two "garbage collection" and deliver a load of

    cells of extra memory to extend the life of the DSS (data gets moved to empty cells when the cells die).

    There is also a noticeable difference between the speeds of SATA2 and SATA 3 controller, so if your motherboard uses the SATA2 more the advantage of an SSD is not as great as with SATA3.

    In addition, the new SATA3 SSD controllers are faster than those of two years ago.

    SSD is a big enough topic. There are many items in the wild that may be useful.

  • Size of SSD for Photoshop CS5, LR3, Windows 7

    Glancing configurations to build a new office, I read so many articles on the use of SSDS for PS CS5 I am now confused.

    I would use a disk for OS & programs and a 2nd for a working PS disc.  I'm looking at 80 GB or 120 GB to fit my budget.  Or the other of these sizes will be suitable for both drives. I noticed that Intel just lowered their price today and added the 120 GB drive.

    I use WD hard drives to a storage drive and another for a scratch disk (4 internal drives total) that the functions of the computer for the Internet, the family also.  Now, I store my main Lightroom catalogs and photos on an external drive so I can move them between my desktop and laptop.  My interests of PS are usually 6-8 photos (layers) and string photos together collages for landscapes.  Lightroom did a lot of my settings other than editing.  I'm looking at 8 MB of RAM for now, once again for the budget.

    What do you suggest me?

    OK, SSD and photoshop...

    There are a lot of ways differnet to manage this issue none of them are easier than the other...

    I just did this like a month ago and here's what I did. Note * I do not mean you follow my steps, but you can do something similar in price range much lower

    I have an OCZ RevoDrive 110 GB SSD as my main operating system drive and program files directory.

    second round of reader is a pair of 10krpm 300 GB raptor disks striped for a gd 600 data drive.

    I have a 2 x 2 TB hard drives that are my archives, but I keep them offline.

    Now, here's where things get complicated.

    You want to write to your as little as possible for the longevity of SSDS for most. so the first thing is that you don't want no swapper, no defrag automatic and several other parameters of spacific SSDS like hibernation etc, if you have been doing research, you already know all this.

    Now, I took that and went one step further and this is not something you want to do unless you are comfortable and extreeeemly with playing with the operating system configurations.

    I have during the BONE building put all my user data from the program directories, set the swap the hard drive Assembly of physical data as well as the drive working PS, caches Internet etc...

    This make sure my boot and main program files drive never gets written at least that there is an update or I install something.

    The second physical disk manages all the changing data. Profiles user, personal settings, desktop, etc.

    Does a number of things for me, everything launches and runs extreemly quickly it takes seconds for the start on dektop apps launching with hesitation. It allows me to use a smaller SSD to house all my OS and applications while limiting does not my amount of data I can keep on my desktop or documents folder.

    I've only used 35 concerts out of the ssd 110 gig install all my apps and the os, including several very big games.

    If I had to do it again I would do it exactly the same way.

    Now, if you're not so much confidence in the skills of your OS and simply want an SSD for extreme speed, it will provide you.  I suggest to use only a single SSD again and use a second physical drive.

    Several reasons, it's a heck of a lot cheaper.

    Place your scratch, your file swapper OS disk (ssd doesn't have a swap file, but unless you have a godless ammount of memory, you should always have a certain place), temporary and internet directories explore cache locations on the physical disk. Also to store your data on it.

    SSD are too expensive to use for data storage or swap/scratch readers at this point and he does not buy you anything wise speed to use it as a cache or temp files. also when you simply store images you don't need than extreemly fast you will not see a difference notable opening physical photo hd or SSD just not that much data.

    One last thing, unless your in a rush extreem, I wanted to wait 6 months.  with SATA 3 and USB 3 come around and watch already on most of the new cards mothers, new faster SSD and physical disks will be making their way to the market fast enough.

  • Using SAN Fiber Channel of SSD

    Hi all

    I would like to know if anyone has used the SSD-Fibre channel SAN in the virtualization environment, if so I would like to have some feedback on performance and other factors that are both Pro & Con.

    Kind regards

    Some tables also make better use of than other SSDS.  3Par tables can move data between levels based on real models of IO observed.  I know that some EMC bays can use as a second layer of cache.

    You should contact the supplier of your table to discuss.

    (full disclosure - I work for 3PAR/HP.  If you want to talk about how our tables use SSD and are particularly suitable for VMware, feel free to DM me).

  • Does anyone use iCloud for everything?

    Does anyone use iCloud as your main service (i.e. for synchronization, documents of cloud and primary email address)? I mainly use it as my primary service, but finds that she has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to Mail and web messaging on icloud.com - it is a bit old and lack of functionality.

    Wonder if anyone has experiences and possible suggestions to fix/improve the service?

    I use my account for all iCloud. It is my main email account, iMessage account, allows you to synchronize my calendars, is my main calendar, synchronize and stores my contacts, contains most of my personal documents (although I also use the box, Dropbox and OneDrive).

    I had no problems with it. What features Miss do you? I rarely use iCloud.com. I mainly go there through the apps on my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.

    In General, is not a big problem to use a SSD instead of a HARD common drive.
    The laptop supports the SATA interface and you use a SSD SATA 2.5 disk.
    I can't recommend a specific brand, but in some rare cases, it may be possible that you need to update SSD firmware offering SSD manufacturer

  • T420-best SSD for use in housing Ultrabay caddy?

    What is the best SSD for use in the Ultrabay caddy in a Thinkpad T420?

    Welcome to the forum!

    Any standard 2.5 "7mm or 9.5 mm SSD should work. I'd stick with brands such as Crucial, Samsung or Intel and are looking for the cost lowest to higher capacity. Considering that the T420 is now several years old, that I doubt that go with the SSD that has specifications "faster" will make a difference in practice.

    BTW the Ultrabay works at speeds of SATA-III (6 Gb/s), so it shouldn't be a bottleneck compared to the internal drive Bay.

  • Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

    Hello

    I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

    I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

    Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

    The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

    Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

    Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

    Thanks in advance!

    What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

    You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

    If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

    Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

    This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

    If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

    To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores).  Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

    What are the requirements of system for this program?

    What version of Windows it says on the package, it was designed for?

    If its designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows 95 or Windows 98 or XP, then it is probably incompatible with Windows 8.

    If the product packaging indicates anything in the 1990s OR early 2000s, I am afraid that this is not something that is guaranteed to work with Windows 8.

    You can try the following average time.
