Planeplotter trimtree update#

There was some serious doubts expressed on the forums as to whether the BIOS would accept NVME as a boot device, so I bought a 500GB SATA version from Western Digital.

I had a look at the motherboard and could see a slot where an m2 drive could be installed.

Any time Microsoft decided to release an update the system would freeze while the data was downloaded and the disk updated. My HP laptop (bought 2018) came equipped with a 1TB 2.5' HDD which was pretty pathetic in performance. If your mobo does not have an m2 interface slot on it, then you are forced to use a PCI-e adapter with the appropriate hardware to accept an m2 interface - be cautious of the difference between SATA and NVME. The m2 is a hardware interface and SSD's in this form factor can be either SATA or NVME. Some BIOSes will not natively boot from NVME, some not from PCI-e irrespective of SATA or NVME.

You really would only notice the faster drive speed during boot or if you were manipulating large files. Ordinary sata 2.5' SSD's are easier to integrate into older motherboards and still give excellent boot speeds. I just went for a standard sata m2 rather than NVME and it works fine as a boot drive but without the insane speed. I considered getting a PCIE card adapter for an NVME drive but decided against it in the end as it wasn't worth the risk of bricking my motherboard (runs an older i-3 processor and doesn't support NVME boot natively). It's possible that a mistake would corrupt the BIOS an leave you with a doorstop of a motherboard.

Laptops over the last 12mths for various friends and family. I would always use Samsung SSDРІР‚в„ўs in my systems but recently IРІР‚в„ўve been using sunbow ones (3yr warranty) from amazon in systems as they are cheaper, just checked and have installed sunbow SSDs in 33 Have customers contact me with various issues but not once have I had an SSD fail. Some say the continuous writing of logs will shorten the life of the SSD but as I say IРІР‚в„ўve never had an issue and never did when I was installing them when I was working in the I.T industry.

To being an SMU so port 9742 is tied up with that system ( I leave that system to do its SMU duties), My i7 X270 laptop has a Samsung NVMe SSD and also a M.2 SSD and this is the system I do my PlaneBase logging on with a second PP installation. IРІР‚в„ўve been running an SMU system for 8+ years with a Samsung 2.5 inch SSD without issue, its an i7 3820 with 32Gb ram and never missed a beat apart from updates etc, I cant do the Mode A/C Mlats due
