Valuation of an SSD with workstation

Hi - I have a race to a workstation on a SSD and decent hard drive and I wanted to see if someone could recommend to improve performance?  Start my computer laptop regular host, the SSD is excellent and startup speeds are much better than on the hard drive.  With a Windows 2008 R2 server hard disk comments, it takes 240 seconds to restart the operating system invited and on the SSD about 210, so a 12.5 percent improvement.  So an improvement, but can do better?  The CPU is a grunty I7 haswell, the base OS is windows 7 and I have 16G memory.

Any thoughts appreciated as improving on the SSD on the host start is so marked, I wonder if we can do more for the guests

Dave

From my own experience it should run a lot faster. Please check that the guest operating system is not the virtual disk, or CD-ROM connected ("connect to power on" unchecked). If this does not help, take a look at vmware.log of the virtual machine to see if that gives you a few tips. Another only looking at this from the point of view of VMware, check the configuration of comments for example services that may have problems starting or the stale drive mappings.

    My SSD with a version of Dreamweaver CS6 running crashed. Now a new SSD is installed and every time I try to reinstall DW CS6 error "inconsistency in the database Setup" (in German terms) occurs. I tried to delete everything about CS6, rebootet and so forth--nothing worked. Two hours later, I tried to install DW 5.5 - that worked. Then I tried again to install 6.0 - without success. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your response. I could not find caps.db.

    Meanwhile, I solved the problem as follows: I searched "dreamweaver" everywhere one deleted all that I could find. Then I googled "CS6" and did the same. I guess that there are around 20 or more places where I deleted files or directories. Suddenly, installation has not prevented, to 2%, what he has always done before and the installation was a success :-) It cost me more than 4 hours to understand this, and I have found a trick somewhere really help.

    I did a lot research on this myself, but thought I would check here just wrap there are any falls known issues/pit with a ssd in z600 workstation installation, I will look at adding a 1 TB ssd.

    1. installation of the material? the 3.5 inch z600 caddy would not accommodate a SSD, HP sells racks that will fit the z600?

    2. compatibility with the workstation? are there types of SSD that are best suited for z600 workstations?

    3. how to install and set up? is it as simple as connect via a cable SATA SSD and installing the OS? The Bios settings?

    Any information would be appreciated,

    Installed a Samsung 500 GB SATA III Evo in my z600... and it works perfectly.

    Installed last week and have been installing programs and saw the general use of it without any problem. I wanted to test properly before posting a reply. It would be possible that I have problems with it later, but I would of thought that if she had problems I would be this topic now.

    My SSD reads to 282 MB/s and writes to 270 MB/s - write random shuffle (IOPS) (IOPS) 51612 47395.

    Being a SATA II gen workstation his don't reach only the full potential of the SSD to 540 / 520 MB/s writing but reading what I read, you won't notice the difference even its so fast... and I accept CC suite, mozilla, (did not install 3dsmax yet) all boot in seconds compared to the minutes on the old HARD drive.

    Just to note that does not use a HP recovery disk to reinstall the OS. I have used a .iso official windows 7 and booted from USB (although it has some things useful, I didn't HP bloatware) drivers installed perfectly smoothly. Windows serial on bottom of Tower

    1. installation of the material? the 3.5 inch z600 caddy would not accommodate a SSD, HP sells racks that will fit the z600?

    "Via Scott comments, look for the version of"needs-tool"in the post above, mine cost £8.50 and takes every 5 seconds to fit the ssd for the z600. I would not buy the version of the tool-less sugguest... unless you have no hands and a lot of money. »

    2. compatibility with the workstation? are there types of SSD that are best suited for z600 workstations?

    "Yes, they are HP approved detailed SSDs in, but the post above, I had no problem with the class of consumer SSDS, but you dice with what brand." The Samsung EVO 500 GB, no problem. You can use a SATA III ssd, but you can get questions as warned by HP as their firmware does not support certain types (so basically if it doesn't they don't help you) ".»

    3. how to install and set up? is it as simple as connect via a cable SATA SSD and installing the OS? The Bios settings?

    "Make sure that your BIOS is set to RAID + AHCI (mine was already setup like that)." I used the samsung Wizard tool after installation and it will say that your PC is not set to AHCI, but I just ignore it. As long as ORGANIC and firmware are up-to-date, you'll be fine. Use a blindmate card to install the ssd (see above messages). Make sure you get the latest firmware on a USB before installing SSD, it should be the first thing to check after the installation of the SSD. You don't need to change cables SATA from II to III that the cables are retro-compatible... anyway have a SATA III in a z600 will limited you to speeds of SATA II (which compared to a normal HARD disk are ridiculously fast). Just plug in and install OS. It can be interesting to read about boring SSD, the magician of samsung suggest some things to do, but not all are necessary, either its life expectancy more performance... defintely deserves to be read to the top, if it's your first SSD as it was for me. »

    Upgraded high hand the best I've done to my workstation and very simple to do. I'm glad that I waited for better support and cost down on the SSD before using.

    You want to say a big thank you to Scott Harrison for his help on this. I nagged him much but really appreciated his advice! Congratulations to Scott and anyone else who posted help.

  • Compatibility of the SSD with MBP

    I was advised to upgrade my MacBook Pro to replace my hard drive with an SSD. (Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB)

    The results were great. But after a few weeks, the computer would suddenly stop and restart. Initially, it was casual; last week, it happened several times throughout the day.

    Best Buy or Samsung would give me the time of day. I had owned the player for about 6 weeks. Tired, I bought another identical yesterday disc [never forget the madness of this decision!]. Today the computer just closed and restarted.

    Is there a problem of compatibility here?  Could someone suggest probable cause?  The original never hard disk once done this.

    Thank you.

    MBP 15 "mid-2010

    Intel Core i5 to 2.53 GHz

    Remove the SSD, install it in an enclosure, plug it into the MBP via USB and see if it will start the MBP externally (key OPTION key at startup).

    If so, the internal SATA cable is the main suspect.  Replace it.  This is common with SSDS in Mbps.

    If no success, run an Apple Hardware Test:

    Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.

  • Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

    Guys, good evening to all the same time.

    I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

    I explain my problem:

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

    He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

    I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

    one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

    and here the problems begin:

    When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

    After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

    but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

    Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

    Thank you so much in advance.

    If you remove the card RAID Apple on the Mac, you MUST connect the iPass cable on its location on the motherboard, or all four bays are unusable:

  • SSD with DV9500T

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion NOTEBOOK PC DV9500T, it has a processor intel and I would use a SSD instead of my normal hard drive. I have some questions about that, any help will be much appreciated

    The laptop came with 2 hard drives of 160 GB each, and I would like to replace the main with 256 GB SSD.

    1. How can I activate the AHCI in the bios? I can't find the option to turn it on.

    2. can I use a 256 GB SSD? I read on some forums that HP laptop does not support more than 400GB total.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Concerning

    Shakur

    1. no need to activate the ahci. It is set that way by default.

    2. Yes. The main Bay can accept any hard drive size. The second span is not a true SATA port, just a USB with one taken SATA used to add a disk to the pure storage. Secondary Bay is not bootable, for example. Only secondary Bay has a size limit, I think. It is without doubt Cape Town 400 gig that read you. Put the SSD in the main Bay and an ordinary drive in the high Bay.

  • Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

    I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

    Read the following thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

    What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

    Thanks in adv!

    Hello

    I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
    Why?
    Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

    To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

    So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

    Thanks Dave. Sometimes you just can't find a BIOS Simulator right when you need it.

    As seen in the image of the BIOS Big_Dave kindly provided, switch from IDE to AHCI and save changes by pressing F10.

  • Restoring my data to a new SSD with Time Machine

    I'm going to buy a new SSD hard drive, and I backed up all my data in Time Machine on an external hard drive. Is it possible to restore all my data only through Time Machine? I have a bootable USB key with El Capitan on that, I'm not worried about the operating system. Wouldn't time machine recognize my computer as a completely different machine? This treatment?

    If it is possible how I would go about it?

    Your new SSD must be in the format GUID extended journeled using disk utility. Boot into Recovery (R command).

    Install OS X and use the Time machine to restore all your data.

  • X 230 mSATA SSD with possible edge to 3 G?

    I want to upgrade my x 230 with an SSD. My model is the NZD79MS with integrated 3 G WWAN and a 500 GB HARD drive. I wonder if I can add an mSATA SSD to use as system disk and keep the HARD disk provided as secondary data drive, or if the mSATA space is occupied with the WWAN module. I really don't want to lose the functionality of 3G or use an external dongle for 3G connectivity, so sacrificing the WWAN module is not an option. I was not able to find this information: can I WWAN and mSATA SSD at the same time on my x 230?

    In general, the WWAN card and mSATA card must be in the same housing at the same time, which is not possible.

    The new drive is "naked".

    Thank you for your help

    I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.
