Re: Samsung SATA3 EVO 850 Pro fix for xw and ZX00 SATA2 workstations, DBAN

It's always a good idea to buy an HP branded SSD, especially when these are available at a reasonable price.

After reading this, I think I should share some of my past experience with 3rd gen SATA SSDs.

 

The first machine I ever upgraded is an old Business Desktop which is mainly used for music procuction.

SSDs weren't cheap back in those days and it was questionable if the project will ever work.

Some specs: d530 CMT, Pentium 4HT Prescott 3.2/4M/800, 4 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 3850, 120 GB Corsair Force3 SSD, SATA DVD-RW, WinXP Pro

This model has only two 1st gen SATA ports and no AHCI option, but it's been running fine since 2013.

Drive was partitioned and formatted in an Ubuntu environment using terminal and gparted.

 

Second one:

xw4600, Xeon X3370, 8GB RAM, nvidia Quadro 2000, 256 GB Kingston KC400, Linux OS

Existing OS was "diskdoubler"-ed from HDD last year.

Runs 24/7, no issues.

 

Third one:

xw4600, Core2Duo E8600, 8GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD7870, 120 GB Samsung Evo 840, Win7 pro

The SSD also spent some time in a DC7700 Business desktop and a Z400 Workstation before it landed there, worked without any issues.

 

Another xw4600 which I just built and set up for a friend

Core2Duo E8600, 8 GB RAM, nvidia Quadro FX1800, 256 GB Kingston KC400, Win7 pro

No symptoms yet...
