Intel 750 boot problem

[SAxel1]

Hi, I have a supermicro X10DRD-iNT which has two U.2 connectors on it.

I got two Intel 750 SSD's, 2.5" 400Gb. I can't get these to work.

If I plug both in, computer freezes at the last bit of POST, saying ready to boot...

If I plug one in (doesn't matter which one, i've ruled out faulty cables/connectors), it boots up fine.

then I'll have to hot-plug the other one once windows loaded, which half the time freezes windows.

I have managed to boot it all the way to windows with both connected twice over three days and probably hundreds of reboots.

nVME drivers installed, RST installed, SSD toolkit says they're both fine the few times i've been able to see them. updated firmware on both.

flashed BIOS to latest update, cleared CMOS. fiddled around with the UEFI settings.

supermicro support said something about the SSD's not having any option ROM. setting this to EFI or Disabled makes no difference.

i'm on windows 8.1 at the moment but also purchased a windows 10 pro license. both behave the same.

I don't have the OS on these disks, it's on a samsung evo on sata.

any thoughts?

thanks /Sam

Hello thesejm,

Checking the specs of your system, we can see that your motherboard uses the Intel® PCH C612, which is not one of the validated chipsets for the Intel® SSD 750 series, as you can see here:

Is there any way that you can maybe use one system board with one of the chipsets mentioned in the links above? (Intel® Z97 Chipset or Intel® X99 Chipset)

Please also check your private messages for further information on this situation.

Hello

ah, i see. hm, yeah that might be the case then..

hm.. well i've got two xeon's running on this board.

I don't think there are any x99 or z97 with dual cpu, socket 2011-3 and two u.2 ports.

ok, well my bad. should've checked the specs before buying i guess..

thanks /S
