SSD 750 PCI-E & X79.

[idata]

Good evening! I have a question concerning support for SSD 750 PCI-Ex motherboard chipset X79. Not so long ago I was thinking about buying this card (SATA - is not seen as outdated and resembles an echo IDE), as the current software requires a radical solution for speed and other things, but Googling forums, I realized that X79 motherboards are not included in the support this device and work as a boot device it will not be (((. The question is - the X99 chipset so different from the X79? built-in support USB3?

Frankly speaking I do not feel the need to go to the X79 X99 for a few% performance increase. What is the problem that the literary manager for chipsets only support 9* Series? It is not the desire to Intel or me (us PC users) should apply to the producers of our boards requesting the release of UEFI-BIOS with support NVMe and drives them? Or is it some kind of hardware problem?

HP added NVMe support only with Gen9 of their server platforms.

I just want to store my mariadb database in intel 750.

Can i do such like this:mount /var/lib/mysql ?

Well, G7 have a PCIE Gen2 slots, so performance will be limited (at least at sequental reads). Also, there can be a HW/BIOS compatibility troubles, due to old platform (G7 was based on i5520shipset, year 2009 piece of hardware).

Hello Memotz,

As JFFulcrum mentioned, the operation of PCIe* NVMe* drives has not been certified with systems using the Intel® 5520 Chipset .

In this case, you might want to check with the http://www.intel.com/support/oems.htm Computer Manufacturer Support if they have tested your server model with this type of SSD's.

I would like to add that the http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-750-spec.pdf Intel® SSD 750 Series is a consumer drive designed for performance, and it is not meant to be used for write-intensive usage nor Data Center Environments.

Since you plan to use the SSD to hold database files, we would advise to consider a drive of the http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/data-center-family.html Intel® SSD Data Center Family for NVMe*, that are designed for read- and write-intensive storage workloads in data center environments. Currently, there are different PCIe* NVMe* series that exceed the endurance capabilities of the 750. For example: Intel® SSD DC P3500 Series, Intel® SSD DC P3600 Series, Intel® SSD DC P3608 Series and Intel® SSD DC P3700 Series.

Hello XORROR.

The Intel® SSD 750 Series (Released 2015) is a PCIe* Gen3 x4, NVM Express* 1.0 device. A system based on an http://ark.intel.com/products/82012 Intel® Z97 Chipset or an http://ark.intel.com/products/81761 Intel® X99 Chipset (both released in 2014) are recommended, specially since motherboards with these chipsets or newer are more likely to have the PCIe 3.0 x4 connector and uEFI 2.3.1 BIOS required for the drive's proper operation.

* PCIe 2.0 may be used with the SSD as secondary data drive, but this will reduce the performance.

The Intel® SSD 750 Series have been http://www.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/ssd-750/sb/CS-035484.htm tested with selected motherboards, however, not every available configuration has been tested.

As can be seen in the drive'shttp://www.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/ssd-750/sb/CS-035483.htm Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), http://www.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/ssd-750/sb/CS-035496.htm Before you buy advisory and http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-750-spec.pdf Product Specifications, A system based on an Intel® Z97 Chipset, Intel® X99 Chipset or newer is "required" to boot from the drive, and "suggested" if the SSD is used as secondary drive.

This drive has not been tested with systems using the http://ark.intel.com/products/64015 Intel® X79 Chipset (released 2011), so we cannot guarantee it will operate operate properly in this type of systems. We advise you to check with the Motherboard's support to confirm if your motherboard meets the requirements mentioned in the documents linked before.
