PCIe SSD - compatibility?

I'm trying to figure out if any of the PCIe SSD's currently available are compatible with a first gen Mac Pro 1,1
Say just for example, PCIe SSD Mini Cards which are supposed to be for netbooks, and are much more affordable option than larger PCIe SSDs, if somewhat low in storage size. Now there may be other pitfalls with these SSD mini cards in particular (mlc versus slc ssd's) but that's why I'm posting my stupid question!
Just trying to think out of the SATAII connection 'box' for SSD AND do it more affordably...
Thanks for constructive replies!

Hi justmetoo,
I know that you said that you are "trying to think out of the SATAII connection 'box' for SSD", but why?
If you are thinking of installing only one or two SSDs, then this link includes instructions for the installation of 2.5" SSDs in older Mac Pros (2006-2008), using SATA cables:
http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-InstallingSSD.html
The read and write times of Mini PCI-Express SSDs (PATA or SATA) are pathetic compared to those of 2.5" SATA SSDs, particularly the latest generations of the latter, and the price difference is not that great when you compare them for the same capacity in each.
If you are not that concerned about read and write speeds, then the price differential is even less if you compare them to "value" ranges of 2.5" SATA II SSDs, such as the recently released OCZ Onyx range, which still outperforms Mini PCI-E SSDs.
I am sorry, but I cannot follow your logic. The reason most Mac Pro users upgrade to SSDs is to improve, or even to obtain maximum increase in, performance, and this is extremely noticeable when a fast 2.5" SATA II SSD is used as a system boot drive.
If this drive had been available when I upgraded last December, I would not have hesitated in buying one, albeit that I would have had to import it, because OWC do not have any distributors or resellers in the UK:

  • X120 + mini PCIe SSD CoreStore MV

    X120e has no mSATA mini PCIe compatibility, so Intel 310 SSD will be of no use for creation of high speed SSD + HDD system.
    But Super Talent CoreStore MV has standard mini PCIe interface, so it can be detected and used by notebooks with no mSATA support. The only problem is booting of OS from it as X120e bios has only PCI LAN boot option.
    Is it possible to leave HDD as the boot source in bios but only with boot sector, which will redirect to SSD, where Windows will be actually installed?
    Another option is to push Lenovo to add PCI SSD to boot options in bios. The guys with Dell notebooks have succeeded in this question and got an updated bios from their tech. support...

    Hello,
    All I can think of is that you would have to try purchasing the Super Talent CoreStore MV mSATA mini PCIe SSD and experimenting.  I would strongly suggest buying from a reseller that has a good returns policy, in case it does not work.

  • Macbook Pro 5,1 SSD Compatibility

    Greetings,
    I just have a couple questions regarding SSD compatibility with a MBP 5,1.
    I was thinking of buying a OCZ 120 GB Vertex 2 Series SATA II 2.5in SSD, and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues I should be worried about with the MBP 5,1 (late 2008).
    Is the instillation of HDs any trickier on the 5,1 than the more recent MBP's? Also if I took it into an apple store to get installed how much would it cost? Any ideas?

    Hi Chris,
    I am not aware of any compatibility issues between that SSD and your machine. I've purchased a couple of their SSD drives and the install was quick and easy. Although I haven't installed one of their drives into the MBP 5,1 (Late 2008), I have installed SSDs and normal SATA drives into the same body style and there's been significant reworking between the models that I've come across. Just make sure you have the appropriate tool for the drive screws and you'll be all set.
    Regarding the install, the Apple Store will not install 3rd party components into your machine. Nor do they sell HDs that they will install. Apple will only install the RAM you buy there or replace parts as a result of a service.

  • Boot from PCIe SSD on Mac Pro 3,1

    Hi guys,
    I bought a Early 2008 Mac Pro.
    I'm thinking about disk upgrade, to improve its performance. First i thought about Apricorn velocity x2 with a SSD mounted on it.
    Then i saw this
    Cavalry PCIe MLC SSD (256GB)
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G5Q6Y26?psc=1
    Is this pcie ssd supported by the motherboard?
    Could i also boot from this?
    Thank you

    I have not seen LSI mentioned and would avoid that one

    Booting is low on priority to me, even a good SSD on native SATA II drive bay bus will help immensely.
    PCIe is helpful when it comes to data, scratch, graphic libraries.

  • How full can I let a 256GB PCIe SSD get?

    Hi all,
    How full can an SSD get before it becomes a problem/degrades performance or causes excessive wear (or will Apple's wear leveling take care of the excessive wear potential)?
    I'm looking at a 2014 2.6HGz model with 16GB of RAM and the 256GB PCIe SSD (I don't think I want the Fusion Drive), but I suspect it's too new for anyone to answer that question about that specific machine, so I'll ask it in the MBP and/or MBA forum if I don't get an answer here.
    Don't know if it would be any different with a 2.5" form factor SSD, but if anyone has any info on that, that would be helpful too.
    I've tried googling and haven't found an answer yet, so here I am.
    I'd be running 10.10 with FileVault 2 turned on and using TimeMachine via external HDD. I have about 120GB used on my current HDD so that's about what I'd have on the new one. At this point in time, I'm sure that free space is not an issue, but I wonder if it could be as the SSD gets more and more full.
    Any help is appreciated!

    I've had many SSD's, starting out with the Intel X25M-G2 80Gb. Often there are recommendations of 7% over provisioning and I regard that as a minimum.
    I've been doing a LOT of reading on this since my OP. It sounds like some manufacturers hide the 7% so it's safely stashed away so users cannot get rid of it, while others don't, but it's a recommendation as you've stated.
    Due to the work I was doing I used 20% which leads to a speed increase and to a longer life expectancy. At one stage I had even allocated more but it was overkill. For "normal" usage I would be somewhere between these two extremes.
    I like to be safe, so I like the 20% idea.
    I've just ordered the 2.8 Ghz model with the 256 SSD, for me it is the model that has the "sweet spot" and I'll be wanting to have at least 15% free space.
    Does that leave you room for expansion for the length of time you expect to keep the mini? Or are you using an external drive to store data on?
    Wonder if you've looked at my other thread asking about the 2012 quad vs the 2014 dual i5? I think I'm leaning toward the 2014, and was thinking about the 2.6, but then saw that an upgrade to the 3.0 was also an upgrade to an i7, granted for $200 more. And I think I'd like the 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM to make sure for the future (this $699 mini is getting awfully expensive!).
    This free space can be unallocated (as in "not partitioned") or a part of a partition that is not filled up completely.
    It's getting late and I'm going cross-eyed from reading so much, so perhaps that's the reason, but I'm not following you here. Would you mind explaining a bit more or a different way?

  • 2008 Mac Pro PCIe SSD write speeds

    I plan on getting a PCIe SSD like the OWC Mercury Accelsior_E2 and seen great read speeds but the write speeds were much slower so anyone have info on this ?

    there is a thread on MacRumors testing three I think different  PCIe cards and it will vary with different makes of SSD. Also putting the system SSD in RAID and/or on PCIe card often does not work reliably or have that much benefit. For data it is great.
    YMMV.
    There are some benchmarks on SSD Review looking at numbers. Different uses benefit from random vs sustained. And sustained is not why you generally use an SSD to begin with.
    0.1 nanosecond seeks, low latency highest I/O per sec, and having high reads are great for system use, audio.
    That kind of setup is excellent for a photoshop scratch array volume, Aperture and Lightroom catalogues. Even iPhoto library.

  • PCI SSD

    Hello,
    I'm planning to get a Mac Pro after the next refresh and I was wondering if PCI-Express SSD's, like the OCZ RevoDrive OCZSSDPX-1RVD0230 PCI-E 230GB 4 x PCI Express MLC, will be supported in Mountain Lion?
    Thanks,
    Erasmo.

    Now how would anyone here know what will be supported or what?
    Can tell you that www.macsales.com has SSD that are highly reviewsed and working to bring out PCIe SSD $$$in near future (March)
    also, http://www.macperformanceguide.com has tested some pre-release versions of those.

  • Mini pcie ssd - x120e

    Hello everyone.
    Just wondering if I can use the seperate mini pci for adding a mini pci ssd. Is this possible? Was reading for some samsung pcis that have the sata capability embedded and will offer the functionality..
    Please let me know.
    Thanks!

    I had the same idea, for my X200.
    The idea was good, but the mini PCI express definition is just wrong.
    The so called mini pci express disk are just, mSata disks with a couple of scrambled pins, there isn't a sata controller on them.
    They are just disks built before the mSata pinout was finalized, so they work only on some eeepcs with the needed connections.

  • PCIe SSD on TS140

    I honestly do not know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that that configuration has never been tested or qualified on the TS140, therefore it is an unsupported configuration.

  • ZBook 17 g2 - poor DPC Latency performance when running from z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD

    I'm setting up a new zBook 17 g2 and am getting very poor DPC latency performance (> 6000 us) when running from the PCIe SSD. I've re-installed the OS (Win 7 64 bit) on both the PCIe SSD and a SATA HDD and the DPC latency performance is fine when running from the HDD (50 - 100 us) but horrible when running from the PCIe SSD (> 6000 us).  I've updated the BIOS and tried every combination of driver and component enabling/disabling I can think of.  The DPC latency is extremely high from the initial Windows install with no drivers installed.  Adding drivers seems to have no effect on the DPC latency. Before purchasing the laptop I found this review: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-ZBook-17-E9X11AA-ABA-Workstation.106222.0.html where the DPC latency measurement (middle of the page) looks OK.  Of course, this is the prior version of the laptop and I believe it does not have the PCIe SSD.  Combining that with the fact that I get fine performance when running from the HDD I am led to believe that the PCIe SSD is the cause of the problem. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?  As it stands right now my zBook is not usable for digital audio work when running from the PCIe SSD.  But it cost me a lot of money so I'd sure like to use it...! Thanks, rgames

    Hi mooktank, No solution yet but, as of about six weeks ago, HP at least acknowledged that it's a problem (finally).  I reproduced it perfectly on another zBook 17 g2 and another PCIe SSD in the same laptop and HP was able to reproduce the problem as well.  So the problem is clearly in the BIOS or with some driver related to the PCIe SSD.  It could also be with the firmware in the drive, itself, but I can't find any other PCIe drives in the 60 mm form factor.  So there's no way to see if a differnt type of drive would fix the problem. My suspicion is that it's related to the PCIe sleep states - those are known to cause exactly these types of problems because the drive takes quick "naps" to save power and there's a delay when it is told to wake back up.  That delay causes a delay in the audio buffer that results in pops/crackles/stutters that would never be noticed doing other tasks like video editing or CAD work .  So it's a problem specific to folks who need low-latency audio performance (very few apps require low latency audio - video editing, for example, uses huge buffers with relatively high latency).  A lot of desktops offer a BIOS option to disable those sleep states but no such option exists in HP's BIOS for that laptop.  In theory you can do it from within Windows but it doesn't have an effect on my system.  That might be one of those options that Windows allows you to change but that actually has no effect. One workaround is to disable CPU throttling.  That makes the CPU run at full speed all the time and, I believe, also disables the PCIe and other sleep states.  When I disable CPU throttling, DPC latency goes back to normal.  However, the CPU is then running full-speed all the time so your battery life basically goes to nothing and the laptop gets *very* hot. Clearly that is not necessary because the laptop runs fine from the SATA SSD.  HP needs to fix the latency problem associated with the PCIe drive. The next logical step is to provide a BIOS update that provides a way to disable the PCIe sleep states without disabling CPU throttling, like on many desktop systems.  The bad news is that HP tech support is not very technical, so it takes forever for them to figure out what I'm talking about.  It took a couple months for them to start using the DPC Latency checker. Hopefully there will be a fix at some point... in the meantime, I hope that HP sends me a check for spending so much time educating their techs on how computers work.  And for countless hours lost re-installing different OSes only to show that the performance is exactly the same as shown in the DPC Latency checker. rgames

  • Touchsmart 520 1070uk PCIe SSD??

    Hi guys,
    my Pc is requiring a new hard drive as the current one is on its way out quick question..
    Any idea if a PCIe SSD will work with my machine.. or a MSATA
    failing that i may have to go with a 2.5 SSD to SATA 
    If you could spread some light that would be great!
    Thanks in Advance
    Craig 

    Hello @ceejay20,
    I understand that you are inquiring as to whether or not your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop PC will support aPCIe SSD. To be honest I think you are the first person I have had that has asked this and to be totally honest it will depend on a few things. First, you have three available expansion slots on this computer two PCI Express mini card sockets (Generation 2 speed) and one PCI Express MXM slot that supports a PCI Express x16 graphics card (Generation 2 speed). I recommend that you get a card that is compatible with Generation 2 speeds as you will just be wasting your money on one that works with Generation 3 as it is downward compatible and will only run at Geration 2 speeds anyways. Next will be power requirements. Your computer only comes with an external 180w power supply so just becareful about how many internal and USB devices you install in your computer as they will all require power. Lastly, the BIOS may be an issue, I have not had the luxury of actually testing what you are trying to do and although I see nothing that should prevent it I also do not see anything that will allow it either.
    I know the last bit is a safe answer, but it is all I have to go on to assist you with this. I would appreciate if you do purchase the card and install it that you come back and post as to the results so I can either assist you further or get a definitive answer one way or another.
    I really appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this and look forward to your response. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • G500 half mini PCIE ssd??

    Hey Lenovo Community
     I recently purchased a new G500 i5 3230m+radeon 8750m on the 30th December, yesterday I added an extra 4gb 1600 ram
    and saw a that there is a half mini PCIE wireless LAN card, I can sacrifice that and put a half mini PCIE ssd, will it work or do I need to do something in the BIOS? That is my main concern.
    Also, what would I need to prepare before replacing stock HDD with SSD 2.5'? Do I need to clone this drive or I should just make a recovery DVD and pop it in once I installed the SSD 2.5'? Will everything install smoothly especially the OS (windows 8.1)?
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Jessie

    hi jcagara08,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I believe this will work as the miniPCIE in your system supports Data signaling for both WLAN and SSD.
    It should be detected right away once rebooted.
    Replacing HDD with SSD.
       If your Operating System is Above Windows 8, you wont have an option to create Recovery CD using the One key Recovery,
        I may suggest using Paragon Backup & Recovery 12 Home (free trial) and use the Migrate option (see this thread).

  • S10e bootable from mini PCIe SSD?

    Hi
    I'd like to keep the SATA bay reserved for a regular hard drive for storage capacity (using the S10e as companion for camera) but also speed up boot time with a SSD.
    Is it possibe to boot the S10e from a mini PCIe SSD card with SATA controller on the card, i.e.

    Rgds/Kjeld Olesen

    Hi again,
    to clear your quest , you want to remove the WLAN minipci-e card and install a minipci-e SSD instead ,
    ... that will not work at all not recognized from BIOS, will only recognize WLAN cards ... and even when ...there is no boot from that  device...
    one other way would be the   Express Card Slot 34 on the right side , but there is no boot option again  ...
    ...by the way 2.5" harddrive with 9.5 mm high with 1 TB capacity is available and recognized 100% by your Ideapad ,
    ... enough for huge pictures  and faster than origin harddrive  ...

  • U150 mini PCIe SSD

    Hi,
    I just got one of the U150's ... the one with the u7300 cpu.
    I would like to add an SSD to it and I would like to know if any are compatible.
    I already discovered that 70mm cards don't fit :-(  clearly only 50 mm will.
    I was going to try the OCZ devices.
    Do the 50mm devices for Dell's work?
    Steve

    Steve--I really appreciate the information. I was unaware of wireless N and the Lenovo. My wireless works flawlessly both in Starbucks (free WI-fi with card) other coffee shops and on both my home network and an Ethernet network, but I don't know anything about "back-ports" or whether it is N or G. Can you give me an advice on how to check this or measure the speed of connection in Ubuntu?
       Like the other correspondents I remain curious about the 50 mm mini-PCie SSD and any further information would be appreciated.
        The graduate student who helped me set up Ubuntu gave more of the space on the hard disk to Windows 7-than Linux-is there a good reason to take some of the space and re-allot it. Any advice on software that you use with Ubuntu? I've been looking for a good benchmarking utility with a gnu (I think that's the term for a graphic interface) so I can measure the speed of the e-sata drives and Usb drives attached. I was able to blunder my way into installing Hebrew and Greek language interfaces which work fine with Open Office now. I still can't get a utility for transforming the Postscript fonts I have on my Macs into open type or OTF to work properly.
        What I miss most at present in regard to the Lenovo-Ubuntu community are the sort of sites like Macintosh or Macsurfer where the latest utilities and software are regularly referred to. If you know of any please pass the information along.

  • T60 & Mini PCIe SSD?

    Hello,
    I have a Thinkpad T60, Type 2007-C95. For the sake of performance, I was thinking about adding a Mini PCIe SSD and using it in addition to the hard drive. (OS on the SSD, HDD for storage) Specifically, I wanted to get a 16GB SuperTalent SATA Mini PCIe SSD. (Model FPM16GRSE, newegg link) 
    While doing some research, I learned that the T60's BIOS whitelists at least one of the PCIe slots. Apparently this is to limit what devices can be used in the slot. From my research, the general consensus appears to be that the PCIe slot that the wireless card is in, is certainly whitelisted, but the status of the other PCIe slot is unknown/untested.
    My question is will the SSD I have chosen work in my T60?
    Thanks! 

    Hi
    Yes these drives are popular with Netbooks. However, they use a mini-PCI-express slot, which is a standard. (I could use this on my desktop if I wanted) I know the T60 has an availible mini-PCIe slot, so therotically, it should work. But I have heard that the BIOS of the T60 restricts what devices can be used in that slot...
    The end configuration would be a 16GB SSD drive for the OS and my 100GB 2.5in hard drive for data storage. The access tims on the SSD would be insane compared the hard drive and I'd still have enough space for storage.
     Thanks for the article. I've already read it, but it is an extremely informative article. However, I don't think these drives use a JMicron controller.... Not that I have any evidance of that, but I assume the JMicron controllers are only in larger, faster, and more expensive drives. As long as it doesn't stutter.... I haven't seen any reports on that though, so I think it's safe.
    Thanks for your reply!
