SMART data reading from Intel NVMe PCIe P3700 series SSD

[RShar23]

I want to use Intel P3700 series NVMe PCIe SSD to read SMART attributes exposed by the device using our user land customized tool. The device will be placed on Gen 3.0 x4 motherboard having linux as OS (kernel 3.13) and RAM 4GB.

Please suggest if any other requirements are needed to read SMART data out of Intel P3700 series SSD.

aleki_intel,

need your inputs.

Wanted to use Intel 750 series nvme AIC ssd on Asus Z97-K motherboard. We don't want to use drive for heavy write purposes. Just wanted to read few of the attributes from the device.Our current planned configuration is :motherboard - Asus Z97-K CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo RAM - 4GB DDR3Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 160GB hard disk used as primary storage Power Supply - same as used in desktop systems (wanted to use Dell motherboard system power supply with Asus Z97-K motherboard-is this possible)Intel 750 series ssd as secondary storage on PCIe Gen 3.0 slotKindly share inputs if above configuration is suitable to use intel 750 series ssd.

For using Intel 750 Series SSD on desktop systems as secondary drive I have planned for system configuration as:

Motherboard - Asus Z-97 A

CPU - 4th generation i3

Power Supply - 500W or 750W

RAM - DDR3 4 GB

Primary storage - Seagate ST3400832A 400GB 7200 RPM (Bootable device)

OS - Linux based Fedora core 20 or Cent OS 6.5

Kindly review and share opinion about system configuration (additional hardware needed?) for using Intel 750 series ssd on desktop systems. My requirement is NOT doing performance testing of SSD so need a system which can properly detect and read/write data blocks/log pages using NVMe standard from SSD.
