Support of PCIe SSD?

Did someone tried to get one of the OCZ revodrive SSD PCIe devices working on ESXi 4.1 technology?  (e.g. ( http://www.Newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ene & DEPA = 0 & Order = BESTMATCH & Description = RevoDrive & x = 0 & y = 0) I've seen other people expressing similar feelings through google searches, but have never seen someone say they have tried and use successfully.

I know it does not exist in the HAL, but I wonder if someone took a chance and gave it a shot.  I WOULD put one of them in my server to host my VMs who demand the best performance or FreeNAS allows to use this disk as a cache of read/write on a spinning media ZFS volume.

Similarly, no one knows if it's on the roadmap to be supported in a future version updated?

For search engines:

[OCZ RevoDrive OCZSSDPX-1RVD0050 PCI-Express x 4 50 GB PCI Express MLC internal Solid State Drive (SSD) | ] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227596 & cm_re=revodrive-_-20-227-596-_-Product | [View Details]

I'll be that person:

It does not in 4.1. You can operate it via some unsupported hacking and a driver in the Linux kernel does not support loading. Remember that this is really a software RAID, so you will end up with several small readers appearing in ESXi, rather than a single large disk, fast. I also had a problem with one of him disappearing from readers (probably a hardware failure, but it's still something to know for the record).

  • Support for PCIe storage

    Are they compatible? If so, which would you recommend?
    I'm under S30 with Windows 7.

    Official support for PCIe SSD didn't happen until the P500/700/900 series. However, PCIe SSD will work on the S30, albeit without bootable media.

    Since no hard drive have been officially qualified, should really a specific recommendation here. Many AHCI or NVMe with SSD should work without much effort, although anything NVMe will need a driver. My personal choice would go to Samsung or Intel, as I've had the most experience with them. Samsung can be done via PCIe cards m2 and Intel has some native PCIe solutions.

    What are your needs here? What volume of storage and what is your purpose of speed? Knowing that might help to point you in the right direction.

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

    Ciao.

  • 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?

    Will be a mid-range SSD go has the size or it will use well?

    Finally, it's a record of 2.5 inches that will be replaced or a 1.8?

    Thank you very much!

    You are the very welcome.

    SATA II is a 'bonus' on SATA - in particular with regard to an SSD.

    Yes, your drive SSD SATA III will work very well with the SATA II controller, but you may have been able to save a little money if you can get a SATA II SSD - and I only say that because there is no advantage in having a SATA III SSD in your laptop on a SATA II one.

    However, one day you can transfer your drive controller supports SATA III SSD SATA III on a PC.

  • ENVY 15 t-K000 CTO: ENVY 15 t-K000 CTO support M.2 ssd?

    My laptop is ENVY 15 t-K000 CTO, model number is G0T55AV, the material information is as follows:

    • CPU i7-4710HQ
    • 16GB memory
    • HARD DRIVE 1 TB

    I want to add an ssd for my laptop, I wonder if my laptop supports m2 type SSD, and, if the answer is Yes, what the maximum length of M.2 ssd supports? If I add a SSD M.2 and keep the 1 TB HARD drive, is possible to leave the SSD to be the first boot device?

    The service manual says:

    Storage SATA m2 (Port0)

    The manual

    The manual shows not yet how to get in MSSD and I can't believe that this means that you need to remove the motherboard. I think you can see M.2 on page 79 near the RAM slots.

  • 2015 Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz > 16GB RAM 1 TB > PCIe SSD > overheating with Thunderbolt Display 27 "> Constant MAX RPM fan speed

    Hello community,

    First of all, I want to congratulate Apple on the construction of such a laptop well. It is a luxury product that is clearly desired by most people, which I understand very well that he's a new owner. But entering the heart of the problem that I face outside this machine being an external engineering masterpiece.

    Professional background:

    I'm a computer engineer / scientist / programmer by profession. I am currently employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a Senior Consulting Engineer level IV for their BIG Data Software Division. Yes, I program (Java and c#), scripts (powershell, batch and SQL), solutions architect, design, to test software and debugging, implement large enterprise-level solutions ranging from a cluster of 2 mirrors servers-to-of thousands of servers to multiple clusters (even from a perspective of work station of the missions of deployment from 200 KB - to - 50 jobs in the world) work with SQL databases on a daily basis, working with storage devices (SAN mutli-million dollar NAS and DAS), provide an infrastructure troubleshooting and problem resolution, have 8 international recognised certifications, a degree of master of science and involved with concerts on the side as well as build computers as a hobby. My computer knowledge is vast and my RESUME goes beyond what I have briefly described. It is important that I give this background to demonstrate that my level of computer knowledge is beyond the scope of this post.

    Laptop Usecase:

    Recently I bought mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 "2.8 GHz Intel i7 quad core, AMD dedicated GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 1 Portable SSD PCIe TB from an authorized Apple dealer. To maximize the beauty of this gem, I also bought a monitor Thunderbolt Apple 27 "due to its ability to offer a dedicated gigabit NIC and additional USB connectors. Basically, the screen acts as a central docking for the laptop and offers additional i/o that does not have the laptop (somewhat a disappointment that it's called a 'PRO' for laptop - this can be discussed in an extra thread).

    I will mostly use the laptop for tasks related to work as operating on dozens of remote servers via RDP, using office 2011 and 2016 Lync, Eclipse for Java programming, access the HPE intranet for related tasks at work, set up conference calls, connection with clients remotely via WebEx or TeamViewer and typical everyday computing. For fun, I'll use the laptop to compose music through Logic Pro X, browsing the Web, doing work with Photoshop/Lightroom/and other products Adobe, Web browsing, Email, Youtube, NetFlix, coding, and other basis for computing tasks.

    Question:

    I am primarily an engineer Windows to the heart and don't work well with Unix/Linux, so forgive me if certain acronyms and terminology is slightly outside when it comes to the OS.

    The question that I am currently facing is how HOT and high cell phone VOICE gets during very little use. It seems that, given the 27 "Apple Thunderbolt connected display cause heating and the fans to be excessive and loud. 'A little' work around the question I unplugged the lightning poster power adapter and have dedicated the trendy laptop adapter. It 'a bit' reduces the amount of heat generated, which reduces the speed of the fan to be a little less quiet. However, the noise level of fans and heat is not reduced enough to convince me!

    After the control process during the time of the laptop being extremely strong and warm, I noticed the only vivid process is the process of "kernel_task". However, I debunked this theory by leaving the unit to return to a normal state, that required me disconnected the Thunderbolt display, and the process ran again without all the negative effects of heat and noise.

    So, why Apple would create a laptop that indicates the external monitor is fully compatible, can support up to 2 external displays with no problems and provides a support for this configuration, if there are any other problems when connecting?


    * Please do not provide responses that I have received a bad laptop or a bad monitor. Appears not to be the case because when I am doing absolutely nothing on the machine, heat is minimal and the fans are 'enough' quiet, even when connected to the Thunderbolt display. However, even simple web browsing on the Thunderbolt display forces do MAX out fans and heat is generated quickly.

    I love this laptop. His elegant, fun to work on, is luxurious and is a potential item that meets all my needs. But I just can't justify spending more than $4 K on a configuration that will cause problems and significantly reduce the lifetime of the laptop.

    1 should I return the laptop and love at first sight appear and waiting for Skylake edition which will be released in the coming months (energy consumption reduced, rising in power and performance, and (?) one possible different GPU that excels much better than 'crap' AMD GPU?

    2. or should I paste and see if a solution or resolution is proposed to the issues that I am experiencing?

    3. I see the same problems all over the internet. Anyone else here has the same problems?

    4. why Apple would invest in this GPU 'cheap' for such a machine power? AMD? Really? (< (less="" than)="" $150="">

    5. How can I host a Lync call with clients when I hear more the laptop that I can hear them?

    My thoughts:

    I spent $6 000.00 on the construction of an incredible machine at home. It has an Intel i7 5960 X Octa-Core processor, nVidia GTX 980, 64 GB RAM Corsair DDR4, 12 TB of disk 7200 RPM, a 512GB SSD for the OS and temporary storage, power 1200 Watt, card reader 5 in 1, a player Blu Ray optical blazing fast, liquid cooling, a Premium Asus Sound Card, the card mother 'best!' on the market (I finished this statement that fans just went back to MAX RPM0 - maybe) because I'm throwing my personal build an Apple forum?), a mechanical keyboard, mouse laser with 12 K dpi and five monitors 24 ".

    I was willing to spend that money on a laptop of luxury that I can travel with, but is it really worth what I'm going through? Also, others on the Internet said they have returned their Macbook Pro for the same model without the dedicated GPU and no longer meet the problem. BUT why someone would invest $3 K in a machine without a good graphics card? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

    PLEASE, I BEG YOU! Can someone help APPLE me this question?

    If I am not convinced to the contrary, Apple then lost me as a customer forever and return to Windows, I oppose the $4 500.00 I spent. If I am convinced to stay, then Apple will get $4K out of me at all times every 3-4 years, I invested in most any software.

    Also, if I can post a video showing you what I'm listening to, then you will be in shock. Honestly, I'd like to keep this machine, but I need help to understand what is happening and what can be done to correct the problem.

    Thank you

    mjaestewart

    Everyone from Apple have a preview? I am pretty surprised to have not received a response.

    Please help me out here.

    Thank you

  • The upgrade of a R3 Andromeda X 51 with a m2 of NVME PCIE SSD.

    I was wondering how easy this will be. We are keeping the HHD, but having the OS and a few games on the SSD.

    We went for the PCIE version 2280 NVME m.2, 512 GB, we need additional cables and it will be nice and easy accommodation, unslot HARD and pure install disc?

    Hoping so, but with my luck, it won't be so easy.

    Tried to find the answer here, but some of it went over my head, and some were related to the purely SATA SSD.

    In addition, the X 51 R3 has an optical drive in place. This he out, or can it stay? I hope you can give me some good advice. Or at least guide us to the right place?

    Thanks :)

    Mike

    Hello.

    The m2 HDD slot is on the GPU extension.

    It is easy to access.

    Remove the side cover, unscrew the two screws GPU in, remove the GPU support Assembly.

    On the side that plugs into the motherboard (Riser) here, you will find the M.2 SSD slot, no cables necessary.

    Don't forget shock and put yourself in the earth before working on computer.

    You may need to change the setting in the system BIOS for the SSDS works as a boot drive, check and make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS installed system also.

    If you don't do that through each of them, for example, if your 1.2.3 then jump directly to 1.3.6 - be sure to install all of them.

  • My Satellite L850-18 t will support the new SSD?

    Hello

    I am seriously thinking to buy the new SSD which is SATA III. Currently, I have Toshiba Satellite L850-18 t, European model. And I think that (although that is quite difficult to get information) that the current HARD disk is SATA I.

    My question is, will the new SSD work correctly, it will take all the benefits (write and read speed) if I install it on the laptop? And if not, what SATA SSD do you recommend?

    I really need to empty it.

    Best regards

    Yes, your Toshiba laptop support SSD. I have older machines, and there is no problem with SSDS.
    This is not complicated, you think it is.
    Check prices and buy one that suits.

    I can recommend brands like Toshiba, Samsung or Kingston. More info on SSD Toshiba you can find on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html
