• RAID 1 support on Dell PowerEdge R730 with SSD and Perc H730 discs

  Hello. I am looking for some info on RAID usage with SSDS on our server:

  Dell PowerEdge R730
  1 GB for the PERC RAID controller cache internal H730
  200 GB Solid State Drive SAS mixed use MLC 12 Gbit/s, 2.5-inch
  OS Windows 2008 R2 (for now)

  We would like to know if it is supported to use two SSD drives in a RAID 1 configuration.

  What are the risks?
  Suggestions for others / the best solutions?
  How the controller or the handle of the Garbage collection, Trim and other techniques SSD SSD?
  Are there solutions in place for Wear leveling and how do they work?
  What are the methods of protection for the I/O failures for these SSD drives and / or PERC controllers?

  I hope you can answer (some of) the issue or point me in the right direction for some Dell documents on this subject.

  Hello Arjan

  Yes, you can use SSDS in RAID 1.

  The controller supports the TRIM and cancel orders mapping. SSD MLC are grade consumer SSD which will not have the life expectancy of SLC.

• Z420 - RAID + AHCI problem

  Hello

  using z420, Firmware is up to date, Windows 8 - with the latest drivers from HP Homepage.

  Storage mode is set to RAID + AHCI.

  Samsung 840 PRO SSD attached to the SATA Port 0 (AHCI 6 GB/s)

  2 x Samsung Barracuda attached to 3 + 4 Port SATA (AHCI / 3 GB/s) running RAID 1

  The problem is that my SSD is NOT detected in Mode AHCI (detected as IDE) - and hence the Performance struggles.

  When I detach the 2 Barracuda and change the storage Mode in the BIOS to AHCI only (without RAID) and restart Windows (driver AHCI enabled in the registry) the SSD is correctly detected as AHCI and offers a desired speed.

  Back to the RAID + AHCI the SSD is again detected in IDE mode.

  Is there a problem with RAID + AHCI Mode that the SSD is detected as NO AHCI?

  Hope someone can help me with that.

  Thank you

  well - I was able to solve the performance problem now!

  I replaced the rest of iaStorA.sys with the iaStorA.sys RST version - and now the system SSD full speed...

  I have attached 2 Screenshots - "before.jpg" watch my setup with performance problems. "after.jpg" my current setup with maximum performance!

  Only problem left is the name of the SSD paralyzed device - but I hope that it is not a problem...? ! ?

• D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD

  Hi all

  I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.

  I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.

  Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?

  Best regards, Chrischmi

  Hi all

  I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!

  On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

• Envy of HP DV6 - 7215TX updated 1 TB HARD drive up to 1 TB SSD?

  Hello

  I just wanted to confirm that with the model DV6-7215TX can upgrade its SSD HARD drive? This model has the 32 GB SSD for fast start, then 1 TB HDD. If I simply clone the disk for one SSD same size. Then everything just move them, that's going to work? Or is there a more complex configuration for the raid working between SSD/SSD instead of SSD/HDD?

  Thanks for your time!

  See you soon

  Murdoch

  No doubt an SSD isn't the thing to have and the problem you describe is exactly what would be improved by an SSD... long time linear file transfer. The existing drive to the WSSD is an obstacle, however. The WSSD and the SATA drive is in a RAID array. The BIOS is set to RAID to allow that, and you have no control over the parameter disable RAID in BIOS. If you really want to install a SSD I go into the Intel Rapid Storage console and disable acceleration by the mSATA reader. I have then clone the SATA drive to the SSD drive and replace the former with the latter.

• HP ENVY Ultrabook 4-1130us - how to access Raid management screen?

  I previously removed the 32 GB SSD RAID so that I could use a SSD 128 GB for the operating system, now that I don't have the 128 GB, I want to go back to the 32 GB and activate intel SRT... Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to access the screen of the raid controller... There is no prompt to press Ctrl + I like it used to be...

  How do I re-solve-the raid on my SSD?

  Corrected a problem... apparently so that windows 8.1 controller is unable to properly interact with it.

  To fix: install windows 8... RAID configuration, then with her still active, install windows 8.1

• Brand new dv7-7212nr want missing SW or config for SSD?

  Just bought a new non-custom desire dv7-7212nr 2 days ago.  Main specifications are:

  3rd gen i7-3630QM

  750 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Drive hard acceleration Cache 32 GB SSD

  8 GB OF SDRAM

  Windows 8

  Other components are irrelevent to my questions or situation.

  The wording 'Hard Drive Acceleraton Cache 32 GB SSD' spec would mainly means the technology Intel Rapid Storage, perhaps combined with the Intel Quick start technology.  Yet, on this computer, I can find only an Intel Rapid Start Technology Manager.

  In Panel of-> system and security-> administration-> computer management tools > storage-> disk management, I can see disk 0 to 699 GB with several partitions, which include the OS (C) and (D) RECOVERY.

  Disc 1 has proved to have an 8 GB partition.

  I find that disk 1 is the SSD and this computer has only the Intel Rapid Start SW technology and configuration.  I read on the internet for this tech in fast ignition to work, an SSD should have a partition that is exactly the same size as the SDRAM.

  My first set of questions are: 1) is my correct conclusion? (2) how HP put in an SSD of 32 GB and uses only 8 GB of it?

  I chatted online with an HP support who asked me to download from a website for HP Intel Rapid Storage Technology and SW drivers and assured me that the installation would not cause any problems or conflicts with the existing configuration, and so I did.  I have no ill effect (yet), but it doesn't seem to be that a good effect is.  On the one hand, it is supposed to be a new 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology' application, but there is none.  So HP support and I can not go further, and support suggested that I do a system recovery, return the setting to factory.  I told him the computer is 2 days, and I to him did nothing other than downloads, that he asked me to do.

  My next set of questions are: a) HP wouldn't put in quick start and quick storage in this product, taking into account the SSD of 32 GB? (b) is there a way to add storage now fast SW and config to envy dv7-7212nr to fully use the 32 GB of SSD? (c) do I keep off to pass my own files on this computer before the problem of cache SSD?

  Finally, I did the Windows experience index runs on the computer and got a score of 5.9 on performance of the hard disk.  I read on the internet that the score is in line with the performance of disk HARD 7200 RPM, which suggests no effect of cache SDS.

  I realize I'm putting in a long post, but I wanted to provide enough information for the experts to evaluate and give answers.

  Thank you very much!

  So, how do I know / check / detect that the other 24G of the 32 GB of SSD is used for the RAID config? Thought that the RAID has not SSD.

  I looked at the config of the BIOS at startup; It shows no option for TSRI but only Intel Rapid Start Tech. It seems that the dv7-7212nr want to support any, TSRI unlike advertising on the dv7-7212nr box.

  First of all, make sure that you download and install the driver of technology Intel Rapid STORAGE for the Envy HP dv7-7212nr here:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-112591-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4132&product=5309489&sw_lang=

  After installation, find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and run. It must start with a screen that looks like this:

  

  It's my real desire HP dv7-7212nr. The screen may be slightly different from mine because I fiddled with technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology (for example, the default Cache volume is 22 GB, where, as mine said 21 GB). Although the WSSD is 32 GB, the size displayed in the Windows is always less than the specified size (30 GB instead of 32 GB). Similarly, the 750 GB hard drive is displayed as GB 699.

  As you may already know, the 8 GB data volume is configured as a partition hibernation for Intel Quick START technology, and the rest, 21 GB in my case, is used as cache acceleration to Intel Rapid STORAGE Technology. The status of SATA (750 GB HDD) drive "fast-track" means that the hard drive is "fast-track" by the cache on the SSD drive and that it is configured and working properly. You can easily change these settings if you take the time to read and learn about it; for example, you can disable the quick START (hibernation partition) and use the whole SSD for fast STORAGE (acceleration).

  Your BIOS should certainly have an entry indicating the Intel Rapid STORAGE technology works properly. I forgot the exact name of it, but I will edit this post to let you know what he said exactly once that I reboot to enter the BIOS again.

  Edit: In the BIOS, go to System Configuration > UEFI Device Configuration (under Intel Rapid Start technology) > technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology and you should see a screen similar to mine below:

  

  As you can see, I've fiddled with my setup of the WSSD, and so my quick partition start (hibernation) is in fact 8.3 GB (slightly larger than the default value) and my cache volume is 21.5 GB (slightly smaller than the default value).

• Adding an SSD on my PC without having to replace the HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 180 t desktop PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do a good amount of games on my PC and a year ago I upgraded my card to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 graphics and my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W unit.  I also have a card mother mATX (9.6 "x 9.6") of PEGATRON.

  Recently, I tried adding an SSD for my machine in order to improve the performance and organisation for some PC games that I love.  I did some research on the subject and am found a bit confused on whether or not, my motherboard will be able to handle the addition of an SSD in my machine.  I have read that I need you sure that my motherboard supports natively AHCI?  How can I check to be sure that if I buy an SSD that I'll be able to integrate it into my system?

  To be clear, I want to continue to use my disk regularly to run my operating system and all the other goodies on my PC and install an SSD for store and load my music/movies/games etc.  I was watching some affordable 'mushkin' SSD that seem to do the trick.  I can give the link for more later if necessary.  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  F10 to the HP splash screen you will get in the bios.

  AHCI is recommended for use with an SSD, but it is not necessary. Most modern SSDS are supported operation garbage collection which does almost the same thing to maintain the SSD.  Check with the manufacturer of your SSD.

  Even if the SATA controller is set to RAID and the SSD doesn't not part of an active array, topping should always work.

• Cannot install Windows 7 on Samsung 830 Series SSD

  What is the error message when you try to install on the SSD drive?

  You can reinstall Windows 7 on the old 120 GB SSD, the image and restore it on the largest SSD. See the following for instructions:

• SSD full file scratches Invisible - PS CS5 Win10 32 GB RAM 500 GB SSD

  I use PS CS5 very strongly over the last two weeks. My config is Win10 1 - high range yo Intel i7 32 GB RAM 500 GB 3 GB mirrored RAID HD SSD.

  My 500 GB C: drive had been my scratch disk. PS crashed after starting every time. Error "full disc".

  By clicking on 'My computer' in the file Explorer shows 465 GB 465 GB are used on my drive C: of SSD, that is to say 100%, is used. After the removal of everything THAT I have, I now 15 GB free.

  After the opening drive C: and you add up all the files and folders (including the hidden) in root C: drive, I get about 150 GB of used space.

  Search told me that the PS CS5 scratch your files must be the culprit. In addition, despite the advice to use SSD zero drive even if it is also my boot drive, I just changed today on a hard drive 3 TB mirrored RAID because the SSD has filled with invisible files, likely CS5 scratch files. I searched files ~ PST # .tmp. None found.

  Re-optimized SSD and everything I could think of and everything I can find recommended.

  Please help me! I need space on my SSD back!

  Scratch files are normally deleted at the exit, but if the application does not close correctly they can be orphaned. An advantage of having separate zero PS, is that you can just delete everything in there if necessary.

  Aside from that, I suggest you watch in your user account. This is normally hidden to 'show hidden files' in your operating system. A lot of software (Photoshop, not only) dumping of massive amounts of data-hiding and extracts for most.

  You'll get a clue if folders as "Application Data" seems much more inflated than they should. Work systematically to limit.

  Most of these caches can be redirected in the application preferences (or just be deleted if you prefer).

• Reading while writing on SSD vs HDD

  So, I've always heard that read and write to a drive HARD are not good, because it slows down the whole process (it's in the video rendering for Premiere Pro).

  So, I know that SSDS are quite a bit different.  I am assuming that the reading and writing that takes place on 1 SSD during rendering won't be nearly as much of a problem that might happen on HDD 1.  However, I am not sure about that.  Am I correct in my assumption?  If this is not the case, what kind of performance degradation can occur, it would be interesting, and how comparable would be that of a HARD drive?

  Yes, and more... regular high quality SATA III SSD which have the best controllers in them for video editing, (such as the M550 Crucial, or, the most expensive Samsung 850pro), will not suffer from "complete degradation"... lose performance as readers become more complete. In addition, the RELIABILITY... especially on the Samsung 850 Pro... is WAY higher for SSDS, as mechanical spinning disks... allowing these quality SSD to consider for RAID 0 using a much lower risk.

  What you get is the nature of the interface SATA itself... it is a "half-duplex" interface, which means that he cannot write everything by READING... and vice versa. It's like an old radio walkie... When you press the button to talk and transmit... you cannot RECEIVE anything until you release the button. So, YES, that "half-duplex" disability is always there... BUT SSD reduce its effect with their reading MUCH faster and write speed AND their "" significantly lower latency, as Eric has said.

  There ARE places to connect to devices of storage, particularly on new motherboards Haswell E X 99, which are "full duplex"... which allows to read and write at the SAME TIME.  However, to take advantage of this higher speed storage devices and connecting full duplex currently are much more expensive than the SATA devices. Peripheral PCI card storage, 'Express' SATA and M.2, can be used... but, currently, high costs and limited capacity.

  With X 99... one option is to take advantage of the huge amount of SATA! ports on motherboard and just NVRAIDMAN to create RAID 0 with SSDS for storage... or well, using cheaper hard drives, with a large 7200 rpm "enterprise level" HARD drive to SAVE the RAID0 HDD!

• Can I mix SAS and SSD drives? PE2900

  Please forgive my ignorance; I've looked through the documentation but can't find the info I'm after.

  I have a PE2900; When we look at the config online I see comes with:

  GT281 1 Assembly, map, PERC5I, Serial Attached SCSI, 2900
   
  and SAS 15 k of the 4x146Gb discs.
   
  I want to mirror 2 drives SSD for the OS. I have the 1 x 8 SAS backplane with two cables between the 5 / I at the bottom of basket... I guess I have to buy a spare sata cable sas to replace the 2nd cable and to find carriers that contains the ssd?
   
  Is it possible on this machine?  All the world does? If so, how can I find the correct carrier? I can not chat w/dell as this system is way out of warranty and the store "parts & updates" is a joke.
   
  Thank you!

  Hello wilddoktor

  The PERC 5 / I do not officially SSD support, but it will probably work. PERC 6 is the first controller to SATA SSD support and the H700 supports SATA and SAS SSD.

  I would recommend that you try SATA SSD. In addition, none of our controllers support mix of technologies of discs in the same container/table, then you will probably not be able to put the SSD in the same table as non - SSD.

  Create a RAID 1 with SSD 2xSATA would probably work, and you should be able to keep your another Bay of SAS drives on the same controller. I only am not able to give a definite answer since SSD was not taken in charge with this controller, but maybe there is someone who has tested that sounds in.

  Thank you

• a question of building a windows desktop 8

  Hello.

  I'm building a new system of office up to the installation of windows 8. The MB is an asus p8h67m pro with an ssd from ocz sata2. However, when I try to install 8 64-bit windows, I get a message to "load the driver - .we couldn't find any readers." -for a storage driver, click on load a driver. »

  Then I get a message "install the driver support insert containing the driver files and click ok.

  So I went on the asus site and downloaded a driver sata ahci for my mb on a flash card and tried to install it, and it seems to install the driver, but then win 8 install goes back to the screen--"we couldn't find readers... to get a storage driver, click on load a driver...»

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Hello

  A number of things...

  Make sure that your SSD is the boot in the Bios device.

  You may need to set your SATA AHCI in the Bios for the OCZ... I'm not sure on your model, but I used a Vertex 4 and would install, but then crash after once "New hardware" detected unless the AHCI has been selected.

  Make sure you are using the SATA ports are NOT configured for RAID... the kind of error message pilot sounds like that's the problem...

  From what I can tell, you have two SATA controllers. It is Intel and the other is without doubt a 3rd party...

  It is one that is usually used for RAID, and even if it can be programmed to standard SATA, it would be preferable to use the primary controller which is very probably the Intel, for the boot drive.

• Satellite U840 - new installation of Windows 7

  My U840-113 had a hard drive failure, and I did not all backups of the system image.
  I installed a new hard drive (no problem), but go crazy trying to get Windows 7 for reinstall.

  Here is what happened...
  -Install Windows 7 (service Pack 1) via CD/DVD external, accidentally installed the 32-bit version. No problem, but as I started to go to find all the drivers on the Toshiba site, I noticed some 32-bit options were absent.
  -Tried to install the 64-bit version - NOTE, my Windows 7 original release, so before service Pack 1)
  -Initially I got error messages indicating that the CD/DVD drivers should continue. Really?
  -After research, downloaded the drivers on a CD to use as needed. Did not get this message again because I moved the CD/DVD on another port USB (one who had already given this message!)
  -Got if the whole installation, and I get a message "no compatible hardware. What?
  -Tried once again, the same message.
  -Deletion of the Raid on the SSD drive not... no more Raids on anything!
  -Tried once again, the same message.

  So I'm sure that this issue has to do with the Raid drivers.

  What exactly is the 'trick' to do a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit on this machine?

  I'll see if I can get 64-bit Service Pack 1 (on USB!) to try for my next attempt.

  I left the PC at work, while I wouldn't rest up all night trying to get this to work.

  Thank you!

  I checked the specification for your laptop and it was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64-bit Home Premium so I recommend you to reinstall Win7 64-bit. It is fully supported and all the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  Please note that you need drivers for Satellite U840 PSU4SE.

  Here, you can also download RAID driver to load before starting the installation of Win7. I imagine that without this driver drive HARD will not appear. Download and save to USB key.
  Generally installing Win7 on this machine should not be a big deal. I did it on U940 without any problem.
  When external ODD is connected start Notepad and press F12. Choose the CD/DVD as first boot device and confirm with the button enter. I assume you are using the original installation of the Microsoft Win7 disc, right?

  Disc should be read and the installation should begin. When you see that the disc is not recognized SATA/RAID load driver and continue with the installation. Create the C partition and choose as location for the installation of the OS. I can't imagine that you will have some problems with it. On my machine, that it worked perfectly.

  When Win7 is completely installed, you begin with the installation of drivers, tools and utilities. Stuf all install them as follows:
  Windows 7 SP1 of Win7
  Chipset SW installation utility
  Intel Management Engine Interface
  Intel driver
  AMD display driver
  Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
  Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
  Intel USB3.0 driver
