Extreme SSD 120GB - No. TRIM support for Linux later? $150 wasted?

I am a customer of Sandisk's long-term and generally been happy with their products.

My favorite and the only OS is Linux, like the millions of PC users, laptop, Tablet and smartphone world. I'm about to take delivery of a brand new Sandisk Extreme SSD 120 GB. This is my 2nd SSD (the other being of Kingston). I just found this review online (newegg.com) about current support for Sandisk Extreme SSD TRIM for Linux:

"Cannot support a topping on LINUX. I also use EXT4 throw tag in/etc/fstab and it does not work. I sent Sandisk. They said: "I understand that you were not able to activate the TRIM on your SSD 120 GB extreme linux system command. We are sorry for the inconvenience this problem may have caused. »

Then I remember seeing this in own of Sandisk SSD info online:

"Any operating system can be installed on an SSD. There is NO compatibility problem with regard to the operating system. Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix any version or BACK can be installed on an SSD.
Certain features such as the PLATE only are supported in mode native on the latest operating systems such as Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6 and higher. »

I'm worried. First of all, I have always use the latest version of Linux, continually updated to day and make all the necessary preparations for the maximum performance of SSD (including changes to operating and fstab AHCI). Then my other SSD worked flawless since (installed 6 months ago) news including the TRIM under Linux.

Then I read elsewhere that Sandisk provides no SSD firmware still updates (?). Is this correct?

If so, then Houston, we have a (major) problem. Product not suitable to use? Misrepresentation of product? Inadequate technical support? Incomplete engineering front of dumping on the market?

I might be worrying unduly. Heck, I really hope someone can help me, clarity and TRIM unlimited direct. Can I use my new Sandisk Extreme SSD as my other player, without product development stressful of Sandisk. (Before I drop the fanboys Win7 and Mac, Linux is also valid in the real world like any OS corporate-drone. Heck one day you too could see the light...)

Good news all around. Extreme SSD arrived and installed without a hitch. Also received a number of useful answers E-mail of Support technical Sandisk (thanks, notably, spear, who approached the plate). In short, if you have a recent Linux kernel installed, opt for the filesystem ext4 on both / and / Home. But first of all to be absolutely sure that you have selected the AHCI option in the section of the BIOS of your motherboard SATA mode. (Flashing the latest mainboard BIOS should also help.) So to allow TOPPING Linux offers edit you your file/etc/fstab to include the "noatime" instructions and "throw" in the lines making reference to / and / Home. Save and you should be good to go. So to answer my own original doubts - TRIM is supported for latest Linux OS provided that you follow the installation process. I lose $150? Probably not, but only time and toggle NAND will tell!

  • VMware discover 5 support for linux/ubuntu comments?

    Dear Sirs

    Is there an agent yet for linux especially Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  With the Android development picking up speed, we have a real need to have our developers.  The main thing that is necessary for us is the USB redirection to the prompt of the client running XP/Windows 7 or even a thin client for them to download cores to our material connected to the customer.  Thanks in advance, if anyone knows of other solutions, it would be really appreciated.

    Are you talking about Office VDI or on the side of client to end-users.

    There is a VMware View Client for Linux, this will allow Linux machines to connect to a broker and load a Windows VDI image.

    However it is not a VMware View Agent for Linux that allow a remote desktop Linux to be negotiated through the infrastructure of the view to a device from end user customers.

    There are rumors of people for the agent Windows runs under Linux using wine and Rdesktop but no one seems to have posted a shot-by-shot full of way to account and then that would be completely supported the point of view of VMware.

  • Should I activate the TRIM?  Profile of said system that both my SSD have NO TRIM support...

    Hello!

    I'm new in the world of SSDS.  I recently bought two SSDS for use with mini OWC Thunderbay e:

    ADATA SP550 - my OS El Capitan

    Samsung 850 EVO - storage media

    When I go to each drive in System Profiler, each have a bug, fat 'no' next to the field in Support of TRIM.

    I know that Apple does not want to take charge of third party records, because they will not be held responsible for data loss or corruption.  That's why System Profiler telling me this?  Or are these two truly on readers list it naughty and I should definitely not turn Trim?

    I appreciate all of your comments!  Thank you!

    This isn't a bug. That's all just a report. Unless you are using an Apple brand SSD TRIM is not enabled. It's normal. You need a third-party utility to allow the TRIM: Trim Enabler. Or you can leave this option disabled. SSD of today can better actual work without TRIM. So you might as well not worry. See topping Talk. If the SSD using a controller strength sand THAT TRIM is not really necessary.

    Unfortunately, I do not know what the consequences are for not having not TRIM support.

    I cannot say if adding a third party sata controller would be better than what you have now.

    There are several different cards to choose from, but which is the right one for the scenario that you are?

    I have seen that some say 'support for SSD.

    Who didn't tell me much.

  • Can not find Workstation 11 documents that specify host for Linux operating system support

    I had all the versions of the workstation since version 3 or 4, and in all cases, Workstation ran on a Linux OS support.  For now, I have both Debian and Red Hat Linux workstations and prefer to stay with Red Hat for my work of VMware Workstation. However I find no actual docs for workstation 11 who tell me what rev of Red Hat Linux is supported. Also, I don't see the real support as available contracts more. Once upon a time, you could buy support workstation. I already have systems of vSphere 5.5 to work and they have full support, but I can't support 7 x 24 production on my computer it seems. in any case, what is the actual supported Red Hat Linux tricks? 6.6 worm or am I stuck goes Red Hat 7?

    Thanks to anyone who really knows.

    response to me here:

    After a bunch of research, I get to a page that tells me to get the compatibility guide:

    VMware Workstation 11 Documentation Centre

    Who gets finally me:

    http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

    Which is useless for workstation because it lists only the products of ESXi.

    Always to research... and I get this:

    http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=software

    Nope... It does not help... I select "Host OS" and is told to go elsewhere:

    The host operating system compatibility information has been moved to the following location:


    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2100429


    Host operating system support information (2100429)

    Goal

    Supported host operating system data are removed from the Compatibility Guide VMware (VCG) to other articles of the basis of knowledge (KBs).
    This article KB then told me to go somewhere else to:

    Operating systems supported for VMware Workstation guests (2088579)

    your da!
    The answer is that 11 workstations is supported on some types of Linux and the most notable are:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (note: 7 RHEL is horrible)
    The answer is therefore a flat NO WAY for Debian or one of its close brothers.  Strictly big business Linux here.
    Nice hide details in seventeen deep research.
  • No support for npapi plugin?

    Hi, we use software that is based on JAVA for our clients to access our services. As I read in some news, support for NPAPI plugins will end in the 64-bit version of firefox 41 (so java no longer be supported). This is only version 64-bit windows or Linux and Mac also being targeted? We need this information so that we can tell our customers that we always support the browsers.
    Thanks in advance

    Only the start of Firefox Win64 41,0 + version will have only whitelisted Flash Player 64-bit for now.

    64 bit versions of Mac OSX and Linux may continue to use other plugins compatible 64-bit in addition to Flash Player.

    That the Firefox 42.0 is the current target for Win64 version as was 41.0 previously. The Fx Win64 41.0 b # is based on the beta channel will be affected by the white list.

  • What are the features of Mozilla Firefox for Linux?

    I found an article about Firefox Desktop features. Linux and Windows have the same characteristics?
    If this isn't the case, I need to know the characteristics for Linux.

    Firefox for Windows, Mac OS x (10.6 +) and Linux (from mozilla.org) are pretty much the same.

    You can find some of the shortcuts from the Menu and KB is a little different on the three operating systems because of their BONES in the Human Interface (HIG) guidelines followed. May also have small differences in appearance.

    For example, tools-> Options on Windows is Firefox-> Preferences on Mac and editing-> Preferences under Linux.

    Adobe is kind of screwing with Flash by Linux users only supported Flash 11.2 with security updates.

  • When can we have "tabs in titlebar" in firefox for linux?

    When can we have "tabs-in-title bar" in firefox for linux,
    as Ubuntu 12.04. Or for that matter support an add-on
    such a feature. I use firefox 13 currently in
    Ubuntu 12.04.

    On Linux the Firefox button is on the tab bar and you usually visible through the installation of the OS title bar.

    It is not possible to have the tab bar in the title bar on Linux or place other items on the title bar.

    Only Firefox for Windows is this function, and only if the Firefox window is maximized, you can have the tab bar and the Firefox button in the title bar.

    On Windows, the title bar is in the Firefox DOM (#titlebar), so it is possible to place other objects on the title bar.
