Does Intel 750 Series works with Linux (ubuntu distro) ?

[mpier3]

Hello everybody,

I'm really interested into Intel's new SSD and I would like to know if it works with Ubuntu ?

Hello maverick8001,

We have successfully booted a number of Linux distributions. You will need the latest version that included NVMe in the kernel (3.10).

Aleki_intel,

Can you confirm that means I have to update kernel from 2.6.32 to 3.10 (3.19 reccommended) to even see the devive.

This isn't possible for me due to other software issues.

Right now I can't see Intel 750 with lcpsi on ASUS Z9PE-D8WS motherboard with recent bios. Did I miss that device in Slot 2? There are so many Intel devices on this system it is hard to locate 750.

Output from lspci -v below (dual CPU dual Graphics)

Makaira,

The Intel(R) SSDs requires kernel 3.19. Any other version below this one we cannot guarantee. Please check this document for reference.

@aleki_intel, we bought several 750 nvme ssds, ubuntu is 15.04, kernel is 3.19. lsblk doesn't display model. Is it alright?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:~$ sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL,MODEL

Do I need to install any additional driver to get it to work properly? Are there any benchmarks or verifications to test them?
