• Best way to set up 6 1 TB SATA disks for ESXi performance than

  Hi, the ESXi server must run a large number of different virtual machines at the same time and trying to figure out the best way to install the drives.

  Should I configure RAID 10 and use to install ESXI and VMs.

  A mirror then the other two for the swap file.

  or

  RAID configuration 10 for ESXI and VMs and then use the other two as JBOD drives and distributed the files for the exchange between these two drives?

  You can probably do so because of SATA for some time provided you get the hardware RAID with a BBWC map.

  If you are using a sata controller not expensive or one without the same dough RAID 10 is going to be pretty useless after about 4 VM.

  I build and run on the controllers to the House and it just was not worth the power used to run the commands, even in RAID 10.

  Ended up buying the battery off ebay for $150 and then it was usable...

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me: adding an SSD (SATA III) for HP Elite desktop computer. Is this possible?

  Dear Experts...

  I want to upgrade my computer by adding an SSD as a master drive and move the original 2 TB drive to be a slave.

  I found several coices of SSDS, but almost all of them are SATA III interface.

  Is my office supports this interface? as it is just written that it has a SATA interface without specifying what version of SATA!

  How many hard drives could this office holds? I already have two (the original 2 TB and my old drive 256 GB) and I wand to add a SSD for Windows and the progs.

  Can I purchase this SSD for example? Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5 inch SATA III single-unit Version internal Solid State...

  It is the official my desktop HP specifications page .

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  It has 2 bays free HARD disk as on its specifications:

  You can trade SSDS on your machine and make the old HDD as a secondary drive ("slave"). SATA III is backwards compatible so you can use it. Since then have been smaller SSD (normally 2.5 "), something that is similar to one of the following media:

• How can I change the player assigned to the SSD for a SATA instead of the SCSI drive?

  Original title: SCSI instead of SATA

  I built a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  My C: drive is a Samsung 840 Pro SSD.  The system never worked properly and I discovered that the SSD which is a SATA 3 drive in Device Manager is configured as a SCSI disk.  Someone knows how to change the driver assigned to the SSD for a SATA instead of the SCSI driver?

  Hello Uriel,

  Thank you for your response.

  SATA controllers will normally appear as "SCSI" controllers in windows. It's normal and nothing to worry about. Often the SATA controllers will also be able to run in IDE mode and then they present themselves as IDE controllers, but it is unlikely that they will be able to operate optimally, as the IDE interface is missing some features of SATA. So even if you do not have the ability to set the cache in the Device Manager, a SATA controller is running in mode SATA should work just fine.

  The IDE bus is managed by the controller SATA3, and if this control is set in the BIOS to "IDE" somehow it seems related to the operating system as a SCSI device.  By setting this entry in the BIOS to "RAID/IDE" IDE devices get properly detected.

  This can also occur if you change the BIOS settings for the SATA ports of 'IDE' to 'AHCI' after installing Windows 7.

  I hope this information helps.

  Thank you

• Help Setup RAID SATA for ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  It is the first time that you try to use vmware.  Any help is greatly appreciate!

  I just built a server around the Intel s5500hcvr mother. I have 6 SATA HDD I want to set up in a RAID. The integrated RAID controller seems to be very limited and does not seem to be supported by ESXi 4.1 (when I run ESXi 4.1 installation and it asks for a location for installation, all my discs are individually listed instead of virtual drives that I created with the RAID controller)

  My questions:

  (1) what is the suggested configuration of HDD (RAID levels / number of berries) for ESXi 4.1?  Can I create 1 RAID 10 array and set everything up to that?  or take one of my disks and install esxi 4.1 on it and then create a RAID with the rest of my discs and use it to store data?

  (2) anyone can provide links to some SATA RAID controllers that are known to work with ESXi 4.1 (and is the supposed to recognize virtual readers created by the RAID controller setup ESXi 4.1)

  Your motherboard has a RAID controller software which, as you have discovered, is completely not taken in charge by ESX/ESXi... You will need to get a RAID controller that is on the HCL for SAS and SATA hard drives (not one with battery backup write cache) so you can use any type of RAID configuration.

  My preference for Internal RAID configurations (on the host) are two drives mirrored for ESX/ESXi to reside (preferably being SAS 10 k or 15 k RPM, 73 GB or 146 GB in size) and then another table for the data store. You'll want to keep the data slot store table 2 TB-512 b size in order to present to ESX/ESXi as a LUN. Or you will need to get a RAID card this split of the support to the top of the table in the smaller of the virtual drives that can be presented for ESX/ESXi and LUNS.

  Search for controllers using the LSI MegaRAID chip as a good first lap. Some Adaptec cards should work, but I've seen people post questions on those recent (more recent than in the past). MANY manufacturers rebrand/efficiency the LSI MegaRAID Controllers server, such as the Dell PERC 6 series cards.

  For the use of 4 disks SATA, RAID 10 (on a BBWC, fully supported, controller) will give you the best performance. It will compare with SAS drives however. IF you do not plan on any virtual machine running with anything beyond light IOPS / s then you should be ok (or with very light loads)... If this is going to be a production server, then get the SAS drives all around.

• What SSD for early 2009 imac?

  Hello

  I have a question to choose the good ssd for my imac 7y/o (9.1) since early 2009.

  I found a few good SSD as the samsung 840 BX100 or critical, but I've also read several times that a ssd sata3 will use sata1 when installed on a sata2.

  And that is why it is better to install a sata2 ssd.

  IS that still the case today? Given that these messages are coming from 2013.

  Or is that I can put in an ssd sata3 and it will run on sata2?

  Kind regards

  Ivo

  SATA III drives that use the Sandforce controller will come back to SATA I speed if installed on a computer that uses the Nvidia MCP79 SATA controller. Samsung does not Sandforce. My Macbook in early 2009 with a Samsung 840 (pre Evo, not Pro) negotiates the SSD SATA II speed, connected to the MCP79.  OWC also still sells SATA II disks, I have one in my late 2009 iMac. I chose this drive, even if it was more expensive because OWC insisted that my model should have the Nvidia controller but in reality it has controller Intel 5 series. I didn't take my iMac except more than once.

  Confused? Yes I know...

• Upgrade SSD for Portege Z930

  Hello

  Any who tried to Z930 SSD update?
  You are looking for information, they seem to use interface mSATA - mini PCI-E as conectors.

  No specific information on the drive inside?

  I intend to bring this beauty on the machine:

  Thank you

  The mSATA connector resembles the miniPCI connector, but they are totally different.
  So, your only solution is to replace the HARD drive with a 2.5 "SATA SSD.

• SSD for a Qosmio F60

  Hello, I have a Qosmio F60, and I want to change the standard sata HD for one SSD. Is this possible? Should what kind of specs of SSD I look for?

  Thank you for your help advabce

  SSD upgrade is possible, but I assume new SSD will not work at maximum speed. It isn't so bad because the SSDS work faster mach and you'll notice more performance gain.

  I updated my old P500 with SSD and I'm happy with it.
  More info on SSD, you can find on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html, but of course do not SSD Toshiba. You can also check other manufacturers, compare prices and choose the one that suits.

• Portégé R600-102: what SSD for upgrade?

  Hello everyone.

  I want to upgrade my SSD the real 128 GB to a bigger: what are the specifications for the new SSD to work? Should what interface have? What physical dimensions?

  Any help will be appreciated.

  TIA,
  Flavio.

  Hello

  I guess that the SSD upgrade is the same as the upgrade of the HARD drive.
  The laptop support SATA controller, you will need a SATA SSD.
  The old drive SSD is 9.5 mm in height the new SSD drive should support the same height.

  Given that the SATA controller is not limited to any size, it should be possible to use the SSD drives more of 128 GB but there is still a matter of BIOS support.

  Unfortunately, it s unclear to me if the BIOS would support more large SSD drives, but generally this should be supported.

• Add the SSD for HP Pavilion desktop computer

  Hello

  I would like to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office). I do not want to replace the existing drive, I would add a second drive.

  I have already noticed a free sata connection and a free power cable, but I didn't notice a physical position for the support and the screws etc...

  Does anyone know if there is a manual that describes the physical position for a 2nd drive in HP Pavilion 500-035ed (office)?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  Look at the picture below and see if your model is configured for one SSD installation.

  

  I see that your particular model is native/sold to the Netherlands.  There is a forum member that frequents this forum who lives in the Netherlands. Hmmmm that's a good guy!

• What type of SSD for Satellite L70-A-14U

  I would like to replace the HARD drive of my laptop Toshiba L70-A-14U DSS. What type of disc should I buy?

  * 2.5 "ok?
  * mSATA-300, mSATA-600 or SATA III?
  * 9, 5mm or 7mm a disc?

  Which of these options are ok?

  Hello

  The SSD can be used instead of the HARD disk.
  The handles for laptop and SATA 2.5 9.5 mm height HDD.
  For me, this means that you can also use a height of 2.5 9.5 mm SATA SSD drive.

  The SATA controller is compatible with the latest standards.
  This means that you will be able to use the fastest SSD drive. But of course the SSD drive performance (data transfer speed) will be pointing down to the same standard supported by the controller.

• What is the fastest connection that I can use for a new external SSD for my MBP late 2008?

  That IS the question. I want a new external SSD for my MBP late 2008.

  What is the fastest connection type that works?

  'External' and 'SSD' could be a problem.  SSDS are different animals of disks spinny.  Some will say that you need not trim on SSD (TRIM is a management tool to move only the ' opportunity' bytes in a block when the block of data is moved), but definitely TRIM does not work on USB or Firewire.  Not sure if the TRIM works on Thunderbolt connected readers as it does on disks SATA-path, however.

  Speed included between slower and faster, however: USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800, USB 3.0, love at first sight.

• Is 'ThinkPad P50 M.2 SATA SSD Tray"support M.2 NVMe SSD?

  I bought a P50 ThinkPad with 500 GB of HARD drive.

  regardless of the grammar. the answer is 'yes '.

• Someone do EVO 850 m2 SATA SSD working on P50?

  Just got my p50. Insert the EVO 850 after unpluging factory 500 GB HDD and boot into a windows usb install. SSD not detected in the drive list. Then, restart the pre-installed Windows 10 500 GB HARD disk. SSD not seen everywhere, including the management of records, the Manager of peripherals and diskpart.

  I changed to another location and it began to appear "2100: error detection on SSD (m2)" and the SSD was really hot when I removed it from the slot.

  I just ask for a replacement for this SSD. If this does not work yet, what should I do? Thank you.

  I made a stupid mistake. I inserted the SSD drive in the wrong direction... I have not noticed that since the two notches of SATA SSDS are symmetrical and I could insert in anyway. But today, thanks to the 950 Pro, which has only a notch, I realize that thing stupid. Thanks for all your response. Now everything works fine. Stupid, I was!
