Hi everybody,
with great interest I read this thread. Recently I purchased a HP Z820, dual xeon e5-2640, quadro 4000, 32 GB ram and a 300 GB SAS drive. Product No is LJ452AV.
I would like to installe the Samsung SM951 ssd with the help of an adapter, (Addonics ADM2PX4), in a PCI-e 3.0 x4 slot. I want to use it as a boot drive with Windows 7 Pro.
I could also stay on the safe side and buy the Z Turbo Drive wich is officially supported but the Samsung SM 951 is a lot cheaper and faster!
The SM951 comes in two tastes, AHCI and NVMe. What would the best choice be for a smooth operation in the z820?
Is there any gain in performence by installing Windows 8.1 or 10 instead of 7?
@SSDRock and MrBike;
you confirmed in this thread that you both succesfully installed the Intel 750 NVMe ssd. Does it still work properly and fast?
Thanks in advance!
