PCIe SSD partition or not

I'll order a 512 GB Samsung SM951 and I'll try it out in a cMP 2008 3.1. I read where people suggest partitioning approximately 50 GB of free space "for the SSD controller", others say no need to partition just to make sure there is always more than 10% left on the disk.

Any suggestions?

You can leave some at the end, unallocated if you wish. Don't think too that it.

Turn on the PAD and use your new fast player lived.

    Z820 with LSI 2308 sas controller will not publish with intel PCIe SSD installed. The system works fine with Sata 600 pro SSD for windows and WD 4 TB Black seagate for storage. When the Intell 900 PCIe SSD drive is installed the system hangs at the LSI Mini OROM screen remains white. is there a way to put the LSI controller to jump the PCIe slots for boot devices?

  • 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.

  • Satellite Z930 - question on Win8 SSD partitions

    Just got the new Z930 satellite with the following 128 GB SSD partitions

    450 MB recovery partition
    260 MB EFI system partition *.
    9.66 Gb recovery partition
    Primary partition 8 GB *.
    100.76 GB boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition *.

    Only those that are marked with * are allowed to be deleted using the windows disk management tool.

    I'm assuming that the 8 GB partition is the recovery for a factory restore media. I intend on creating recovery media of course USB (9Gbrequired according to the creator of recovery media - 16 Gb USB recommended). Delete this partition, and then expand the main partition.

    Questions:

    1. someone knows what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    2. What is the EFI partition for?

    3. it is curious that if you take 4 GB (what the file hibernation for 6 GB of RAM should be) the 9.66 5,66 remaining and the score of 8 GB are basically the same size as the main 13.5 GB partition reported here for the z930 portege. Why Toshiba would squirrel away from the recovery media as well as space for hibernation? A way to recover the full 13.5 GB asmentioned in the z930 portege post?

    Thanks in advance

    > 1. Anyone know what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    I guess that the 9.66 GB partition called recovery partition is created for HARD drive recovery.
    You can retrieve the laptop using recovery of HARD drive and does not require recovery or recovery USB memory stick drive.
    But I wouldn't delete this partition because you will lose the ability to recover the HARD drive recovery unit

    > 2. What is the EFI partition for?
    EFi partition contains the program loader initialization for all the operating systems (in other partitions) on the HARD disk. If don t touch.

  • 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?

  • Install the EFI on new SSD partition when doing 10 costs of Windows Installer

    I have a similar problem to this topic. Windows was originally (and still is) installed on my HARD drive and I just installed my SSD recently. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD it has not installed the EFI partition.

    Is there a way to create a new partition on the SSD EFI (of course I have to do another new facility) or do I have to physically unplug my HARD drive before you begin?

    my personal rule, I always disconnect a disk with a partition bootable OS, just to reduce the troubles and do not mix the boot managers (I prefer to select the BIOS boot device)

  • 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 :)

  • Published: Recovery Partition do not have day

    I posted this under Yosemite, instead of El Capitan - very sorry.

    Ran 10.11.6 combination update, still do not update to recovery partition.

    What should I do to get my recovery partition in harmony with my primary OS version?

  • Bootcamp partition is not as boot drive, after running bootcamp to install Windows 10 on MacbookPro 15 "El Capitan running

    Hello

    I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my Macbook Pro. I followed this guide, but I am stuck between steps 3 and 4. In disk utility, I see that the bootcamp partition is created, but it does not appear as boot drive. I also tried to start my mac while pressing the option key, but still it will not show.

    See below for a screenshot that shows the current state of my machine.

    How can I continue to install 10 Windows on my Mac?

    Your BOOTCAMP partition internal not yet have Windows installed on it.  If you're between steps 3 and 4 (the installation procedure standard), your, assistant Boot Camp should automatically rebooting your computer after partitioning, from the installation media (Windows 10 CD), you must have created.  I assume that you already have a Windows 10 installation disk.  Make sure that the disc is inserted when you first enter assistant Boot Camp and you let the computer restart on its own.

    Apple instructions are a bit vague (somehow I'm not surprised).

    Watch (time code 04:26 - 09:15) in next video for instructions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SxA_OsPEgk).

  • External HD fat32 partition is not mounted

    I've updated to Yosemite to El Capitan 10.11.2. My external hard drive has 2 partitions, 1 used for Time Machine, the other partition formatted in Fat32.

    Everything works fine so far.

    I had to make some adjustments in SIP (csrutil toggle) to get my wifi working. All ok again.

    After a few days without problems, I have updated to 10.11.3. The partition of Time Machine is fine, but the Fat32 partition rises no more.

    In Bootcamp Windows, the fat32 partition is mounted works ok.

    On another external hard drive, I still have El Capitan 10.11.2, when I boot this disk partition Fat32 works well again. I drive repair, etc.

    When I start again from El Capitan 10.11.3 the Fat32 partition is not recognized, is not accessible. USB drives in Fat32 are not too recognized.

    SIP clear has no help.

    All this seems to be related to the SIP, kext of unsigned drivers.

    Adjusted recovery csrutil Terminal, mode, enabled - no kext

    Now everything works fine, including my wifi dongle.

    I'll try to find the updated drivers for my WD drive.

  • HP530: recovery partition has not installed

    Reinstalled the operating system, destructive, with SE recovery disks. The recovery partition has not been installed. Any comment as to the reason would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    No, your brand auto recovery pricing won't recreate the recovery partition. If you want to re-create the recovery partition, you need a set of HP to perform the factory restore.

    Self made pricing factory restore will only effect C: partition

  • My Windows 8 partition does not appear

    Hello

    I have a problem with my macbook pro (early 2011) which I hope someone can help me with.  I tried researching the issue on mine and have not found anything that fits my specific situation.  I consider myself a little above the average user and do not have any formal education in computers.

    I had partitioned macbook brother previously with windows 7 and had no real problems.  I had looked at the walkthroughs on youtube and forums.  It was a year ago.  Last week I decided I want to partition my macbook so that I could use windows.  My boyfriend already has a version of windows 8 (64-bit) that had not been used, so I assumed that it would be nice to use it.  I carelessly did not saved my computer.  I used the boot camp assistant who has two boxes to check with the download of the last support Windows of Apple options and install Windows 7 or later.  I did both, which prompted me to plug in a USB key, I did.  When he was done download Windows support, it prompted me to install the cd that I used for the installation, I did, the 64-bit windows 8.  Then it prompted me to choose how I wish the windows partition.  I chose the option to divide it into equal parts, if I remember correctly out to be about 159 GB for storage remaining on my mac and about 159 GB passes to the new partition of windows.  At some point the computer restarted and I had the option to accept the terms and agreements for Windows and I did, and then he invited me for a product key, I got in.  I had options for disk 0, 1, 2, etc. and the correlation of numbers for partitions.  When I'd done it before if I remember correctly, one of the options should have considered something like "disk 1 Partition 3: BOOTCAMP" and I think that I would have a few steps after this formatting including it.  But the bootcamp partition has not showing as an option.  I decided to restart my Mac and remove the partition and start again when I had someone to help me.

    The problem is that I can't delete the partition because its does not appear anywhere on my mac, I can see.  I tried to use boot camp again to remove it, but he gave me the same guests as if I had just started.  I also tried to go to disk utility and it does not appear there either.  I also noticed that the approximate amount of GB I assigned to the windows partition always took to the top of this memory.  Instead of having the original number of GB of free space on my mac, it says now I 159,84 Go 85,87 Go free.  When I tried Windows partition using boot camp just to see what he would say, the corresponding figures having only 85,87 GB to divide between mac and windows.  After looking to the top of the information on my mac, the only thing I've noticed showing how much storage I had initially is entering the system report and selecting storage and see what is called the logical volume group which has 319,21 GB of which 159.02 is free, which is the number of the partition that I did.  But I have no idea if it is still relevant or even isn't a logical volume group.  I should have saved my computer and should have looked more into it before plunging blindly, but now that I have, I was hoping if anyone had any idea of what could have happened or what I could have done wrong.  The only solution I've come across is my current computer backup and reformatting of my mac.  I would try to avoid this if its possible but will if I have to.

    I apologize for the wordy explanation.  I used OS X El Capitan when I made the partition, and I updated after I made the partition hoping it might help somehow, but there is no change.  If more information is needed or if images are necessary, I would be happy to do so.  Thanks for your time.
