• These SSD options would be compatible with my Early 2011 13 inch Macbook pro?

  Hello

  My mac I'm really slow so I decided to buy an SSD, but I can't be sure if it is compatible with my mac. SSDS are super expensive in my country, I just have to be sure before buying.

  TECHNICAL DATA:

  Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5

  RAM: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 3000

  13-inch, early 2011

  My SSD options:

  MX300 crucial 250 GB

  Samsung 750 EVO 250 GB

  Samsung 750 EVO 120 GB

  Thank you.

  If you want a definitive answer, contact the technical support from the manufacturer.  The general rule is, if the SSD is identical to a HARD SATA 2.5 form factor ", it will work in your MBP.

  Ciao.

• T130 PowerEdge RAID controller onboard or get a card?

  Finally, we got a budget to replace our entire PoS system and got a PowerEdge T130 to replace our T110. What I'm not clear on the RAID controller embedded - is it only the software, hardware or some hybrids; and what are the levels of RAID support? The existing facility is with SATA AHCI and RAID1 controllers in Windows Server 2008 R2 value.

  Our range of SSD in our existing server still in excellent condition, so I want to migrate it on when I'm done configures OS and PoS software. Should I go into BIOS, set up the RAID controller and see what levels he'll give me or I'd better use the physical map of the T110 in the T130? The T110 is currently using a PERC S300 card with 4 SSD in RAID10. Alternatively, can anyone point me to a better RAID card for this server which would do well to RAID10? I shortly before the system goes into the production environment, so I want to change my hardware now while I still can.

  It is only the second build of the full server that I have used in the past 6 years. Would like to hear the thoughts of anyone T130, RAID, etc. Finally, moving into the world of 64-bit, thank God.

  Software only - it is based on the Intel RAID chipset and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 volumes and non-RAID. It should be avoided.

  The existing facility is with SATA AHCI and RAID1 controllers in Windows Server 2008 R2 value.

  This is what should be done with the integrated RAID controller (S130 - off and mirrored in the operating system instead - IF hardware RAID, which is preferable, is not checked).

  Still once, I you would recommend against the use of the S130, AND you can't replace non-RAID RAID on the fly. It would require reinstallation or backup/restore.

  The S300, while only slightly better than the S130, is not supported in the T130. I would recommend the H730 or the H330 if you absolutely cannot spend the money for the H730 (they are cheaper suppliers that Dell directly). The two become RAID 10. The H330 will give you about the performance of your S300. If none of them are selected, I'd go with what you vascular (the S130 is your only other option 'supported', and it's garbage). If this system is heavily used, I highly recommend, but if the H730 moderately or less software RAID is fine (you have SSD in the new configuration, I take it...).

• SAS Raid 15 k on Raid SSD HDD

  Hello. I have a Dell PowerEdge T310 with SAS 6/iR Server adapt including two 300 GB hard SAS 15 k Raid 1 drives. I just bought two 400 GB of SSD SAS Enterprise grade drives. I'm looking to replace hard drives with SSDS. What is the easy/more fastest way to get there?

  Can I delete a hard drive and leave the table rebuild on the SSD and then finished on the first SSD, repeat for the second?

  Backup/restore. You cannot mix SAS/SATA or SSD/HDD in a table.

• X 51 R2 i5 RAID SSD

  Hello peeps.

  After a lot of reading, train and otherwise.

  My system was original X 51 R2 4th i5. Genesis 1 TB 3.5 "Seagate. 8 GB of Ram.

  I upgraded to 16 GB Kingston KHX16C10B1BK2/16 X kit.

  & two 120 GB SSD Intel 530

  Should not be a problem, but yes, indicated in Bank unique manual RAID options should be available in the BIOS, but isn't.

  Alienware, AlienRespawn/Windows / (USB / CD *) migration utilities would be or can not migrate from original HD to SSD. No question.

  Software migration of data Intel, on a DVD was the only way I could do this work. Boot to the DVD, then migrate to ONE of the 530 SSD, then start the second 530 Intel SSDS on Windows 8 and picked up Intel Rapid Storage software, so I could choose to mirror my SSD (RAID 1).

  If DELL would have provided installation media, so that I can do a CLEAN INSTALL WIN 8 or whatever, it would not even a problem.

  How much for a tray of DVD these days?

  

  CHANGE 21.3.2014

  Hi again.
  I used the following parts for this project a minimum.

  1 x Molex 4 pin for power cable 2 x SATA 15pin (total 21 cm / 16 cm cable only)

  1 x Molex 4 pin Cable in there, male Molex to 2 x Molex female (total 24 cm / 19 cm cable only)

  2 x SATA III cable 7-pin straight both ends (50cm in total)

  You need a HARD drive bay that takes two SSD (or make your own platform / 'thing')
  I think it would make the Akasa work: AK-HDA-03

  There is ONLY an outtake of power of HARD drive on the motherboard, and it's MOLEX 4 pin MALE!, not female that would be normal.

  

  

  

  SeeYa.

  Hehe, you do not yield easily as you.

  For the X 51 R2 (not R1), there is none, none what config so that never the RAID option in the bios, or Pre-boot menu.

  I think that ERROR! in the manual of the State in which he is, may be leftovers in R1 manual.

  Have a nice day :)

• 27n190st Pavilion: Pavilion all-in-one with SSD option?

  Hello:

  27 all-in-one is expandable to a 500 GB solid State Drive? I know it's not expandable customizable Web site, but if I buy it can I update? I want to just make sure there is room and no other potential problems with an upgrade.

  Thank you.

  Hi old_geekster:

  I've owned a touch in the past. I work with pictures and as power to swipe from one photo to another. It is much easier to use a mouse. I love being able to pinch also enlarge the photos and text.  This makes a lot of sense.  I didn't want to be curious, just any other interested is the motivation for the purchase of a certain model of computer.  I agree.  I have a laptop HP game Omen.  It has a touch screen, a trackpad.  I use a mouse without a wire with her, too.  It is perfect for viewing photos and anything else.

  It is interesting that envy all in a series allows an upgrade to an SSD. Is there a difference with this series first to those vs the Pavilion?  I don't know why this is, except HP emits different models for all price ranges.

  If it is not expandable, I guess that I would buy a pc because I really like the idea of an SSD. A technician at HP would know?  This is your best option.  I would contact the Service HP customer for using the upgrade information before buy you.  This will ensure I hope you don't buy something that you don't like.

  Thank you

• Windows 8 Defrag lists raided SSD as HARD drive

  I have a 3rd gen core i7 with a card mother z77 (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) running Windows 8.

  I have 4 SSD RAID 0 would be in 2 groups and all 4 disks are plugged into the Intel SATA plugs.  I also have a 1 than to plugged catch NO Intel SATA HARD drive.

  A group is my boot (C) drive that is 2 x ADATA SX900 256 GB, and others, I have for storage (D) which is 2 x SanDisk Extreme 240 GB.

  I installed the latest Intel RST drivers.

  Under the Windows Defragmenter, my C drive is listed as SSD but my D drive is listed as a HARD drive.

  I want my D drive will be listed as SSD so that the FILLING can be passed to it.  My C drive when I click on optimize correctly trimmed output %, while the D drive outputs % consolidated.

  I have all 4 disks and two exactly the same RAID configurations in the BIOS and drivers of the RST with the exception of a difference.  Drive C is using 64 k band and D drive is using 128 KB Strip.  I can't imagine it is what makes Windows think that the D drive is a HARD drive because of the size of distribution?

  Is there something I can do in the registry to recognize my D as an SSD drive?

  I would rather not reformat my D drive to 64 KB stripe just to see if that solves it if there is something I can do with the registry, config, or otherwise in the software.

  
  

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

• X220i SSD options

  Hi, im account required to upgrade my x220i (academic model with core i3) with an ssd.

  1 - is the support sata3 x220i? That is, the OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB 2.5 "

  2. If so, it will be much faster that the mSata ssd IE. Intel 310 80 GB?

  3. how the mSata ssd (in this case, the series intel 310) resists against 2.5 "SSD (i.e. intel, ocz vertex 2, samsung 830) in terms of performance.

  I am concerned by speed rather than the storage space, the advantage of the msata ssd + hdd is neglected.

  responses and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  POOM

  220 X requires a SSD/HDD of 7 mm. Vertex2/3 are 9.5 mm. Some have received them to adapt, but you cannot use the support provided with him and some had to take off keyboard, etc...

  It is not an easy adjustment.

  There is no 7mm SSD a lot there, one of them is Intel 320 series (sata2), and there are a few like Micron C4, Crucial C300 SATA3, I think that a new 830 Samsung is also 7mm...

  Some have a spacer that you can remove, but it voids the warranty on some units.

  Make sure you find a 7mm.

• R430 2 TB PCI-E SSD options?

  Hi all, we have a client looking to install a 2 TB PCIE SSD (style FusionIO) in their R430.  Is this possible, and is there a model that fits physically?  As I understand it, these are usually quite large for a 1U server to manage.  Reference Dell has a list of models supported somewhere?

  Hello.

  It looks like PCIe SSD are not supported on the R430 server. The next platform is the R630 or T630 which offers support for the SSD PCIe NVMe on backplane configuration.

• Raid Window8 options

  I asked this question on another Board and still waiting for resolution, so thought I would try to get an expert HP expert day. I'm still not owner of a HP, but want to be in the very short term. I would like a machine Phoenix H9 - 1320t with Raid 1 2 TB disks, but since the day Windows 8 is out I couldn't configure - model 1320t with 2 readers optical (I want an extra buner of DVD and bluray. This was not a problem with the previous Windows 7 that I had previously saved this configuration and considered upgrading to Windows 8 later... but finally didn't. I cheked also H8 - 1420t and it has the same issue. Is there something abouit Windows 8, which has led to this more limited set up with Raid 1 (or 0)?

  I also read them that Windows 8 has a feature called storage spaces. This is equivalent to the Raid. If yes how it works in mirroring if I lose my main drive. Should he behave like Raid1 and still boot but with degraded drive warning?

  Thank you for your consideration.

  Paul

  I got my solution from another source. It is a question of compatibility associated with the Raid driver and the current bios, HP does not recommend using 2 optical drives. Everything is OK with the AHCI parameter.

• 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.

  Arjan

  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.

• PowerEdge R230 add RAID controller

  Need advice: the goal is to add Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H330 server Dell Poweredge R230.

  Originally, the data connection is to the motherboard with a mini SAS connector, power cord is related to the Board of Directors itself as well go with a connector 6-pin. Given that the new RAID controller has a different SAS (SFF8644) mini connector, I can't use the original cable.

  So try to solve that I bought 4 X SFF-8482 SAS a cable - Mini SAS SFF 8643. It would connect the RAID controller for readers. (THIS)

  I also added a power cords: 4 Pin IDE power Molex 1 male to 3 x female Splitter & 2 x 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PCI-E adjust Power Supply Cable (THIS) and (THIS). It was supposed to feed readers - but is not and they won't turn on.

  No idea why? Other ideas of ways to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  IB - EN1

  1. initially, I understood the topology based on the information on the user manual, see the attached figure describing Cabling two 3.5-inch hard drives 'to the PERC card. Isn't this relevant?

  The information I had previously provided are based on the wiring of the Controller PERC H330 with basket 4 x 3.5 "which I assumed you had based on your notes. Thanks for your clarification and ignore these P/Ns. Here are the cables you need.

  • Signal and cable LED to P/N 6R7VT the H330 controller to connect to the motherboard
  • Cable SAS junction A H330 for 2 hard drives or optical drives, P/N TTN3V
  • Hard/optical drive power cable from the system board P/N N9P7R for 4 HD (shipped with your server. Use only 2 connectors) or P/N VXR2 for 2 hard drives.

  IB - EN1

  457CH, TWV59, 6R7VT: I can not find an any of them on the dell Web site, you can share links?

  I would recommend that you directly contact Dell sales in your area.

  Thank you.

• Use of an SSD RAID 0 on laptop

  I'm curious to know if would all benefit of performance... or barrier... If I took the party of the ability of my Asus laptop gaming to create a RAID 0 on two fast SSD occupying now the two bays for discs HARD internal, instead of the approach of conventional to use an SSD for the page file, programs and the OS and the other SSD for all the rest. Could a single volume that has more than 1 GB per second of data with ALL that SURPASS two separate SSDs when you use body?

  The only problem I see is that with your OS/apps on RAID 0 recovery if problem is extremely difficult, normal recovery tools do not work on RAID volumes.  This is the main reason why I don't him did not.

  I know she would give a better score PPBM but only on the partition disk i/o.  My cell similar to G750JW (two non-RAID SSD) to happen probably my time for export for the second score of SSD of ~ 75 seconds to something close to half of this ~ 38-40 seconds.  I seriously doubt that he would do anything to change the 3 other scores because they are designed to be intensive with (MPEG2-DVD without GPU) CPU or GPU (MPEG2-DVD with GPU) or a combination of the two (H.264).  I really don't think it's worth the problem or otherwise I certainly would do it.

• Z220 CMT: firmware Win 8 factory 7 and install new boot disks (RAID 1)

  My Z220 came with the copy of Win 7 Pro/64-bit factory-loaded, lowered to win 8. The supplied HD is just a Seagate 500 MB to 6 MB/s SATA drive.

  I want to change my boot disks for a pair of WD series RE 1 TB disks in a RAID1 configuration.

  The 220 came with a series of restore disks: disks of recovery system 1,2 and 3 for Win 7 and a DVD of recovery Driver for WIn7 and WIn8, as long as the DVD of the operating system - Windows 8 Pro.

  So, if I install the pair of RAID array using the Intel RAID software, can I then use CD Win7 game to restore the Win7 system to the new RAID array? Is there a potential problem of activation here?

  My other idea was to use Clonezilla to clone the current Win7 system on the RAID array, but I don't know if it will work, as the discs in question are not the same...

  If you look at your partitions on the disk HP of the computer/manage/storage/disk management you should see a hidden partition which you can draw the active OS itself and also to make an installation USB or CD/DVD set.  But you already have those in hand, I believe.

  The restore thing can be confusing.  What I would do, is get a stunt or set of disks drive and start experimenting.  One of the disks is an "Activator" disc which you start with, and it gives you instructions as you go along with a clean installation, including installation RAID or simple installation on hard/SSD options.  Just keep your 500 GB out of the workstation and work with the readers of stunt.  For those, I liked the 80 GB WD Velociraptors... two correspondent off eBay are cheap, and they are quick to reformat/load/erase.  It will start to make sense fairly quickly.  For RAID works, you can experiment on 2 160 GB drives, but a full install of W7 with Office 2007 is less than 45 GB.  You just start from this first optical disc and start digging.

  The thing about the COA... When you perform a clean discs HP restore, as if your HP hard drive has failed, the process puts on a HP OEM COA serial number that is different from what is on your COA sticker.  For example, you can clone a facility and it will work on an another Z220 CMT without activation.  It checks only the BIOS of the workstation to make sure that it is a legal installation.  If you try the same thing with a W7Pro64 OEM System Builder build the clone will work but will recognize that this isn't the same job that it has been installed on original and you give a few days to feed another series of COA number.

  A clone must come from the installation of restore HP OEM with the internal controls of HP and OEM HP serial number to make it work on another box without activation problems.  Stick to right side of things and you'll be fine.
