Area 51 motherboard - R2 supports NVMe via PCIe SSD?

Motherboard of the area 51 - R2 supports is SSD Intel 750, Samsung SM951 NVMe, HP Turbo Z G2?

Thanks a lot for the following upward. I tried the new BIOS update, but unfortunately, it has not solved the problem with my SSD PCIE.

For area 51 R2 owners who are considering the purchase of an SSD PCIE (or m2 with adapter PCIE SSD), that's my experience with a Samsung SM951 AHCI 512 GB SSD as a reference.

My system is area 51 with 3 X GTX980, i7-5960 X R2.

The SM951 itself requires an m2 or PCIE X 4 3.0 logging and is capable of running sequential read-2150 MB/s, write-1500 MB/s, BUT NOT ON CETTE MACHINE! Oh well, at least not with the PCIE X 4 connector on it.

I used a PCIE X 4 3.0 connector adapter to connect my SM951 since there is no slot m2. And the speed test with ATTO Disk bench, AS SSD Benchmark and HDTune are everywhere:

Sequential read-1550 MB/s, write-1200 MB/s, which is about 75% of the full speed of SM951.

My first thought me I had a bad SSD, but I was wrong.

I then unhooked one of the GTX980s and connected via the PCIE SSD 8 X instead of X 4 location on the motherboard. Then the magic happened, the test speed is just right:

reading-2150 MB/s, write-1500 MB/s, the maximum speed of SM951.

After some research on the internet, my best guess at the moment is because the designer of area 51 R2 does not thing of M.2 SSD or PCIE SSD as a big problem in time (this is probably why the motherboard 2 X 99 of the area has no slot m2 while other brands is not), so they set up somehow the PCIE X 4 as version 2.0 connector (to give the bandwidth for the) three GTX980s)? So it would NOT the PCIE X 4 slots to provide sufficient bandwidth for high-speed SSD.

May be I'm wrong with guess. It would be appreciated if someone could provide an idea or a solution as the PCIE X 4 slot is not working properly.

CONCLUSION:

For those who own the Alienware Area 51 R2 with 3 graphics cards and contemplating the purchase of a high-speed SSD PCIE, I highly recommend waiting for a new BIOS solve the problem of the PCIE X 4 slots. (new version A02 does not solve it).

For those who own the Alienware Area 51 R2 with 1 or 2 graphics cards, go ahead and buy the PCIE SSD if you want. Once you fail to reach the speed of falling with the PCIE X 4 connection, try the PCIE X 8 connector, it should work properly.

PS: Thanks again for those who see this as a problem. The age of the PCIE SSD is coming. And the only way to make the Alienware is better admit everything first missing something :)

    HP pavilion p6630f supports output via connector dvi - d to dvi - d to hdmi audio adapter?

    Hello

    The DVI does not support audio.  You must use a separate with the DVI cable audio cable. There are DVI cables that do not have an extra audio cable in the same sheath, but they are usually not sold in most retail stores.

    There are rumors on the net that ATI could have a special cable where some unused DVI pins were used to route the audio but that could also mean using an ATI video card. It would be a very strange configuration and not one I would recommend.

  • Tecra M10 - 17 H no support DVI via docking station not

    There is already a message asking this, but I wanted to point out that it is a problem affecting more than one user.

    Too, I bought a Toshiba laptop for my business as it was supposed to be a laptop a serious matter. However, I must say that I am losing confidence that Toshiba understands what needs a company.

    The docking station is frankly a joke. USB KVM will not work with it, probably, there is no PS2 port you can not use a KVM PS2 instead. Even if you could, the VGA dock does not detect the external VGA is present when there is a KVM. Of course, the answer is "simply" open up the laptop and set it up on the Panel, then switch to external whenever you turn it on. How can anyone think that is a response in a business, or any other environment is beyond me.

    Now, I find that my laptop has an Intel graphics card I can't use the DVI port on the dock either. Which is really annoying, is that I could buy a laptop at half price, but wouldn't because I wanted a laptop class business that disintegrates not in respect of the use. I didn't pursue a fantastic graphic option because I did not doing anything fancy either, but graphics without the supported DVI via the dock is just simply ridiculous.

    Now, I regret bitterly, to get rid of the old Dell D/Dock that although several years worked without fault and with DVI, with any old KVM and without any problems at all.

    Sorry for the mug shot, but I am bitterly disappointed that I bought a cheap puppy that I can't afford to write off for a good while yet. Meanwhile despite works well when it works, the laptop is a right royal pain to use when the dock is therefore unnecessary.

    What to tell boyfriend
    Is a really nice laptop Tecra M10 and Portégé series and series Tecra laptop computers Bussines there.

    But it seems that the DVI port on the Port Replicator Port Express is supported only on computers with ATI graphics card or nVidia.

    I found this Toshiba document:

    It s on Tecra A9 but maybe that it s a Tecra M10-related too

  • __File names are larger than is supported by the file system

    I tried to upgrade from Vista to 7, but the upgrade attempted to restore Vista.  To exit a loop of reboot, I started from the drive of W7 upgrade went to the command prompt and found a folder with subfolders 25.  After moving them to another directory, I was able to get the roll to Vista is complete.  I tried to delete the record with 25 subfolders.  But I get the error message "the folder contains items whose names are too long for the trash.  and "the names of source files are larger than is supported by the file system.  Try to move to a location that has a shorter path name, or try renaming to shorter name (s) before launching the operation".  I tried shift-delete to bypass the Recycle Bin, but it does not work.  I tried moving and able to copy to a different folder after what I was able to remove the old records but could not delete the new folder.  Now, for some reason any I can rename the subfolder name (they were all named "Downloads"), but when I did it it would create several subfolders named "downloads".  So now I have 60-70 subfolders, rather than the original 25.

    Does anyone has a suggestion or a program to help me remove the offending folder?  Should I go on my recovery drive and recover Vista of the D: drive on the C: drive?  If this does not work, will it reformat the hard drive?  If I reformat, how to move to Windows 7?  Thanks for any help.

    HII secoch ,

    Thanks for posting your queries.

    I hope you have this problems, but this forum is to help everyone, I want something here too, I did too and it really helped.

    First thing is you do not need to download all programs for this.

    Like, Windows has problems dealing with extra long path/filenames. If the
    combination of the names of access road and closer to 255 characters (127 for
    Windows 95/98/me) Windows probably not manage it well, if you try to remove or
    Rename it (you can create it, but not change it). The first
    thing is trying to rename some of the files which lead to the queue
    himself. The directory displayed a level of return, and then select Rename the
    folder the file is located in. Try a single letter (of course, to keep a record of what
    folder you called that so you can reverse the process!). Then, return to the
    file and see if Windows then you can rename or remove. Otherwise, go back
    yet another folder and rename this one and so on. At some point, you should be
    be able to find a series of folder names of reduced length which you can then
    Rename the file to a name that is short enough to allow you to recreate then
    the original directory tree and still work with the file in question.  In fact, the main goal is to try to make the shortest path of length instead of only the file name and the folder name.

    I also hope that this help option.  If this isn't the case, please after return or PIN me.

  • ProDesk 600 G2 Mini: A Mini 600 G2 a NVMe M.2 SSD startup ProDesk?

    Hello

    I recently bought a G2 Mini ProDesk of 600 which I am very happy with. However, I can't the computer to start from the m2 NVMe SSD I installed it. There is no problem to use it as a second drive in Windows and also no problem Windows installation on it, but even though I can see it in the BIOS and select to boot from, I get a message "no boot device."

    Is it possible that a new machine that has a port of m2 in height, cannot manage boot from a drive is? HP has no information that I can find on this issue, or can someone help me find it? Anyone know?

    Best regards

    Tommy

    I had a similar problem with the mini HP ProDesk 600 G2 and Plextor PX-G128M6e.

    He helped disable legasy and loading security modes in the BIOS: Advanced-> Security Boot Configuration-> Legasy support turn off and disable secure boot.

    And also disable PCIe power management: Advanced-> Power Management Options-> PCI Express Power management.

    Without disable Windows power management could won't start the SSD with errors:

    "The application or the operating system could not be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
    File: \Windows\system32\winload.efi
    "Error code: 0xc0000185.

    After these settings Windows installs and runs correctly since the SSD drive.

    P.S., Plextor PX-G128M6e is M.2 AHCI PCIe SSD, not NVMe, but can also be useful to someone.

  • MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 pcie ssd upgrade

    Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

    Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

    Ciao.

  • Intel 750 PCIe SSD 2.5 "unrecognized in P700

    Hello

    I recently bought an Intel 750 PCIe SSD 2.5 "drive and it hooked up to the TMIFA (adapter Flex ThinkStation Multi IO port) in the slot of a P700 flex. But the drive does not appear in the BIOS.

    I was wondering if there are specific parameters in the BIOS linked to the operation of the flex adapter, which can affect the player connected to get recognized by the machine?

    I tried to plug in a USB stick to the USB port on the TMIFA and it did work and appear in the BIOS. So the TMIFA seems to be OK.

    Can we really that the 750 is a DOA?
