Re: Z400 Aftermarket Upgrades

You're welcome.

 

I forgot to mention that your SSD won't run in AHCI mode.

 

Of course the integrated S-ATA controller is capable to run in advanced mode which is very important when a user plans to hammer his HDD/SSD with many commands simultaneously, but for some reason HP disabled it in this generation of workstations (Z400, Z600, Z800).

 

The BIOS offers only two choices, RAID+AHCI or IDE mode.

RAID+AHCI means harddisks are always managed by RAID BIOS and only optical drives use the AHCI protocol.

If you plan use the Samsung Magician software, it will complain.

 

Anyway, I had a 120 GB 840 EVO in my Z400 for almost two years, it worked fine.

 

The DPS-475 CB 1A is a very good PSU from my personal experience, all my machines (three xw4600, one Z400, one d530 CMT) have this inside.

 

For the Radeon card the 650W is a better choice, especially cause it has two 6-pin PCIe power connectors.

Keep in mind that gaming cards are officially unsupported in these workstations.
