ASA-SM flash storage options
I've been trying to figure out which flash storage systems the ASA-SM can use for image and configuration management purposes. Of course I've checked the config guide (current is v8.5), the data sheet and the Q&A, yet it doesn't clearly answer specific qestions, like:
The documentation speaks about disk0: and disk1:...What are the internal and external flash stores?
How large is the internal flash store?
Where's the external flash store located at? According to the pictures, there's no external flash module bay on the ASA-SM itself...right?
Can one of the multiple addressable Cat6500 flash file systems be used as an external flash?
In case it's OK to use a Cat6500 file system as a shared flash (imagine using multiple ASA-SMs), which one will be addressed by default? Is there a default at all, is it configurable?
Thanks for any clarification

Dear Experts,
I am using SUP2T with the following IOS, do i need to upgrade the FPD, how i will know that i need to upgrade
the commands output are form the 6509 switch.
sh run | in boot
boot-start-marker
boot system flash bootdisk:
boot-end-marker
diagnostic bootup level minimal
dir from the 6509 switch.
Directory of bootdisk:/

Still I have not installed ASA-SM in the switch the day of migration i will install the ASA-SM, how i will know that i have to upgrade the FPD ??? and what actually it is helping for ASA-SM ,??? i hope compatibility is perfect between 15.1 switch version and asa-sm 9.3.???
I have a separate chassis (test scenario) with me i will upgrade the asa, and asdm image so i can upload the fpd image also if you experts give me confirmation for the fpd.
S1#sh hw-module switch 1 all fpd
% No cards with FPD support can be found in the indicated chassis or Not in VSS mode.
Thanks

What is the difference in flash storage and a traditional hard drive? Why would I want to pay so much for a laptop that only has a fraction of the storage capacity of a old hard drive? If I have a lot of movies, music, games, etc. on my laptop, wouldn't I run out of room much faster or is the computers memory configured in a manner that keeps programs and such from using as much memory. I am a avid Apple product advocate because of the unquestionable quality and reliability of the products but As I am shopping for a new laptop, I find myself questioning why I would pay much more to downgrade hard-drive space on top of the fact that the "flash storage" is a new and relatively un-tested technology. I realize that apple has likely done intensive research on the new flash storage but I don't want to have to constantly monitor my available storage on a MacBook that I just paid $1200 bucks for. I also have read that in the event of a un-repairable system crash, recovery of data from a flash storage is extremely difficult if not impossible. My current Apple products which have the "old school" hard drive are very fast to open programs and apps, so why would I would want essentially pay twice as much to downgrade? I am a extreme tech. Idiot so someone please help me because I absolutely don't understand how I would be doing myself any favors buying a new version MacBook. Thanks so much!
Christy, when SSD drives were first released I thought, "Huh?" I had some of the same questions you did. Today every computer I use has either an SSD or a hybrid drive. (A hybrid drive is basically a standard drive with a small SSD. As Seagate's technology has improved it provides many of the advantages of an SSD at a lower cost.) Here's why:
SSDs are wicked fast and for some professional users this speed is significant, not just a convenience. The speed of an SSD also gives makes virtual memory more useful. Most of us launch multiple programs using more memory than our computers actually have and that works because programs running in the background can be shifted to the hard drive and brought back into RAM when they are moved back to the front. There's a noticeable slowdown when VM is being used because moving the program to/from the hard drive takes time. With an SSD it takes no time, in fact, I've noticed that a computer with an SSD feels like it has more memory. My 2007 iMac was maxed out to 6GB of RAM and starting with Lion it began to feel slow because it needed more RAM. With its drive upgrade it suddenly began performing much like my 8GB 2009 notebook - that was quite a big difference.
For mobile computers the SSD provides two additional advantages: An SSD requires less power so the battery lasts longer and because it has no moving parts it won't be crashed by inadvertent movement. And yes, if the SSD dies data can't be retrieved as with a standard hard drive. Then again most of us aren't going to pay the $500-$2500 that this treatment costs. Frequent backups are no substitute for Drive Savers.
The disadvantage is the cost per gigabyte which is dropping fast. The 256GB drive I bought 18 months ago is now selling for half the price I paid for it - and I paid half of what it cost just 6 months earlier! Still the price difference is there and that's why Apple is selling its desktop computers with a Fusion drive option - a combination of standard drive with a small SSD.
For notebook users, the SSD option can require a bit of discipline and how you handle it will depend on whether the notebook is your only computer or if you have a desktop too. I keep my media on the desktop, not my MBA. Apple's iTunes Match came at exactly the right time for me; I keep a small part of my collection on the Air and stream music from the cloud when I'm in WiFi range. I copy a few movies from my desktop to an sdRAM card for when I travel.
As I said, I am sold on SSDs and won't consider a standard drive on any of my computers again. -
Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future? I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive. I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question).
I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future. So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options? If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices. But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop). I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined! (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices. I know I'm not getting bilked...)
So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question? Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future? Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops! And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
Thanks everybody!The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.
These newer ones are likley directly on the PCIe Bus. That will take some time to develop. -
RAID is not an option/not available/missing in BIOS Storage Options?? HP Envy 700-047c
Hello - I have an HP Envy 700-047c. It came with a 2 TB HD. I put in another 2 TB HD same model/type. The system in the BIOS and Windows 8 sees the new drive. However, when I boot and go into F10 BIOS/HP Setup utility, go to Storage menu, select Storage Options, my only option is SATA Emulation and the only 2 select options it shows are AHCI and IDE. This is where I should see RAID option - it is not there.
I tried changing SATA ports on the motherboard - no help.
I tried disabling Secure Boot and UEFI and chose Legacy - no help.
I updated to latest BIOS for this PC - no help.
I installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology software and can see the 2 drives within Windows but there is no create option on the Status page like there should be (because you need to enable RAID in the BIOS which the option is missing).
I looked on the motherboard and don't see any jumpers that are labeled RAID (ie. some physical trip).
I called Intel and they confirmed the Intel chipset I have is RAID capable but to contact HP to see if they turned off. I contacted HP and twice they said they are not trained in RAID and do not support it. I contacted the local Microcenter tech support and they found a link on this website talking about how to go to the area I'm in - but the RAID option is not there.
Does anyone know how to get RAID enabled on this HP 700-047c in the BIOS/Setup utility? Help!UPDATE BY ORIGINAL POSTER TO BELOW - The below is not accurate about RAID being disabled on "All" HP home line computers per research from Big_Dave (Thanks!) - It is what I was told by the HP Escalation Team Friday however - not just my MB but all - which we are seeing is not correct per the customizable Envy model in the following post. It may just be certain models or just my current model's MB...?? I struck thru some of the detail, but leaving it mostly intact so others can see the misinformation I was given.
Thanks for passing along. Below is what I found out about how RAID is disabled by HP now.
I also had an email going back and forth with HP support and they sent to HP Escalation team who I ended up talking with yesterday who researched it for a day and found out that HP has disabled RAID on the motherboard for all of their home PC line! As we were thinking above. Only servers can do RAID now is the word. Hard to believe they'd do that. The rep said he believed it had to do with people calling HP when they lost data due to setting up using RAID 0 and thinking that protected them (all it does is make a big disk, no redundancy like RAID 1).
To me that is no reason to turn off a feature of the Intel chipset. They also don't make this clear to any HP employee as no one I've talked to (3 now along with chat and email) knew that HP is crippling the capabilities of the MB and chipset. I even have a several year old HP Pavilion that has RAID enabled on it under my desk and has saved me twice from disk failure (running RAID 1 mirroring).
I'm pretty disappointed with HP decision to do this and that it's poorly recorded (in fact not recorded at all) it so that I wasted hours upon days trying to figure it out with tech support people. If HP wants to remove a much needed service such as RAID it should be mandatory for them to disclaim that right in the Specfications sheet. RAID IS DISABLED AND CANNOT BE TURNED ON ON ANY HP HOME CONSUMER COMPUTER.
Note: I even called AMI (American Megatrend, Inc.) with HP on the line who said they sold the MB to HP fully capable of RAID which is what led the escalation rep to research to whomever he talked to and found out HP is disabling it out the door to their unaware consumers.
I also asked if HP tech team disabled it, would they be willing to send me a BIOS flash to re-enable it - ie. make that an option for those who are knowledgeable about RAID and can setup. The response was they probably won't. I pressed a little but didn't get anywhere - seems like a reasonable request to me/option to keep people happy.
Luckily I'm within my return window and will be taking this computer back. Sad considering how much time I've put into it thinking I had a computer capable to do what I need.
Anyway - please help spread the word so HP can get this into their knowledge DB and boards that RAID is GONE - removed purposefully by HP. -
Can my Flash Storage on my Macbook Pro Retina Display (Late 2013) be upgraded?
I feel like my 256GB Flash Storage is not going to be enough for me, and I have bought it over a month ago. Anyone know my options on upgrading, other than using a portable storage drive.
Thanks.There's no 3rd party for that yet. The company to watch would be Other World Computing. They do have SSD's for previous generations of Retina, but the new models have a different interface. One thing you can do is to add an SD card in the slot and format it as OS X Extended (Journaled) NOT case sensitive. It's nowhere near as fast as your SSD, but it's convenient and maybe good for less important data files.

Is it possible for Apple Store to upgrade flash storage of rMBP from 256GB to 512GB?
If I purchase a rMBP with 256GB flash storage configuration, and later on decide I want to upgrade to 512GB, will the Apple Store be able to do this?
You can increase flash storage yourself. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other+World+Computing/SSDAP12R480/. Look around the site for option.
Be aware that if you do this it may affect your computer warranty. -
What is most important - processor speed, RAM or flash storage?
My son is in the 9th grade and I'm about to buy a Macbook Air for him. I have a limited amount of money to spend, and I'd like to get the best value for my dollar. He will primarily use it in school, for homework, surfing the web, social media, watching videos (not making) and downloading music. He ocasionally downloads movies, but not often at all. The most important factor for him is speed. He is an impatient downloader and web surfer, so the quicker the better for him. Given this profile, does he need the i7 processor, or will the i5 suffice? 4 GB or RAM, or do I need to bump up to 8GB? Can I get by with 128 GB of Flash storage, or will that slow the system down too much and I need to go with 256GB? I'm just not in a position to spend $1800 on a computer. Also, when he graduates from high school, then buying an upgraded machine is definitely an option, I'm just trying to get him through high school with the needs he has now.
Thanks!The larger SSD are up to 400MBs faster due to SSD densities.
however any macbook needs an external HD for large media storage and necessary data redundancy / backups.
128GB is plenty for most everyone, you need an external HD regardless, NO SSD is big enough to be used as a mass storage device.
see here:
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage. -
Should I get a 128gb or 256gb flash storage MBPr?
I am about to purchase a new MBPr, but I am stuck on the question... Which is the best option for me? I am a college student who will have to do projects and papers, browse the web, watch videos, listen to music, etc. The real question is... Will 128gb flash storage be enough for my photos and videos that I edit in my spare time or should I get the 256gb MBPr? I take more than enough photos and videos to fill up space as photography is a hobby of mine. Thanks for the help and opinions in advance.
Youre really looking at the wrong way.
The SSD of the Air and macbook Pro Retina SSD are "working platform" storage.
Your best practical option is buying a 1TB external HD for $65
128gig is PLENTY enough......for all your APPS and working files. Buy as much as you can reasonably afford, just remember that LARGE files are best kept off the macbook and on external storage, which is far cheaper.
You, regardless of internal HD or SSD, need an external backup for time machine and same for important file storage.
The "low" capacity of the SSD on the Air and entry level Retina are meant to be working platforms for these computers.
Meaning ALL your programs and your working data (stuff you use at least every week).
To try to use either the Air or Retina as a massive storage platform of any kind (lots of pics, music, movies etc.) is both not indicated or practical.
external storage, quality too, is absurdly cheap right now.
superslim external HD.

Do I need 256 or 512 flash storage?
Hello.
I'm getting a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display but I'm not sure if I need 256 or 512 for flash storage.
I'm going into health studies for college, so I won't be required to have a lot of fancy softwares I think, but still. I make films for a hobby.
I only use Final Cut Pro, iMovie and iPhoto and the films are just travel or family and friends videos. I use a high resolution camera for most of my shots.
so with college work, casual web surfing and video editing should I buy 256 and save money or would the 512 be a good investment?
thank you for reading, cheers!You have a couple of options. You could go with the 512, with what you're indicating you'll be using the computer for might still not be enough. What you could do (and probably what I'd do if I was looking to save a dime) is grab the 256, and with the money I save, grab a larger external hard drive. Store any non-critical images/videos on there to keep the internal space free.

Can't install Mavericks because Flash Storage Update 1.1 needed
Pretty obvious, I need to first install the Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 before I can install Mavericks. Problem is, the firmware update won't show up no matter how many times I press the Update button.
Anyone else facing this problem?You need to verify that your SSD isnt corrupt:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/
choose the MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1. The firmware update will test your drive to see if it is affected. You will be directed back to this page for next steps if needed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1690
“This update tests your drive and, in the majority of cases, installs new firmware to resolve the issue. If your drive cannot be updated, Apple will replace it, free of charge”
If your MacBook Air has an affected flash drive, please contact one of the Apple service providers below to schedule an appointment to get your drive replaced:

Is the "flash" storage in Macbook Pros and Airs upgradable?
I just watched an OWC video on upgrading SSD on mid 2012 Macbook Pro, is that what they consider "Flash" storage? They only say SSD, so I'm just wondering if I buy 128GB Macbook or Air can I increase it later or is it "built in" and not upgradable?
SSD = flash memory storage. There are no Apple-supported upgrades for the internal SSD/flash storage in the MacBooks, partly because Apple uses a special connector. OWC has created replacement MacBook SSD/flash drives of their own initiative, and they do work. But they are only available for some models.
Due to the special Apple design of the flash storage you will not find many options for upgrading. So far only OWC has gone to the trouble of trying to match the Apple specs.
It is still best to order a MacBook with the amount of storage you need, if available. If you do need an upgrade later, whether you will be able to will depend on whether OWC offers one for the model you have, and there is no guarantee of that. And any such upgrade will not be supported by Apple. But OWC is a good company and I have bought many products from them. -
How do you increase flash storage
I have the latest 2013 version of the MacBook Air. I bought the one with 128 gb and it has 15 gb left. How do you increase flash storage on the MacBook Air?
You cannot. Your options are to sell your current machine and trade it for a 256GB model, or to purchase and use an external drive, or to clear out lots of space on your existing drive.

Is $1019 a good price?
Can you tell me why you don't think its a good buy? Someone bought it that must have thought it was a good buy? You?!!!
I had a macbook pro, spilled an entire latte on it. Cannot afford to drop another 1500 on a new one. I understand the air is a great machine. And for someone that is hard on equipment (aside from liquid!) with no moving parts its a better option. This one is priced at $929 - good?
