Will this card work with a Solid State Drive? Plan to connect one SSD & one standard. Any experience with this?

There is no problem using SSDs, although I could never get both ports to work. I had three different cards (one RMAed) on two servers and the second port would never work for me.

It will work, yes, but I'm sure it will dramatically slow down over time because I highly doubt that this model supports the TRIM feature, which is a necessity for SSDs. You can read more about TRIM for SSDs by Googling it.My suggestion is to look for a NAS that is specifically designed to work with SSDs, like some models from QNAP.

I believe that this drive will work on that motherboard it is a m.2 ngff ssd and it looks like that motherboard will accept m.2 ssds

If it truely is a mSata SSD disk then yes it will work, any and most mSata cards work very well with this adapter depending on the size and shape they have. Now according to your specs I pulled up and looking at a similar laptop this will properly fit into the adapter. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will try and respond promptly as possible.

I had some 2.5 to 3.5 SSD adapters that are for desktop installs. You can probably get one on the auction site cheap. I had 2 notebook drives in mine, fit well.

i have not, have you looked at the OCZ site for info? http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide

SSDs will work with any brand, as long as you have the sata cable to connect it to your motherboard..

I don't have any solid state drives so I can not say 100% sure but if the solid state drive can be used when attached to a SATA 3 or SATA 6 cable I suspect it will work fine. The device is designed to handle SATA drives.

Hi Brett. I am only using one SSD with this adapter. But by looking at it right now, it looks like it is made to accept 2 SSDs right on top of one another with 2 screw sockets on each side for each SSD.

Yes it will work. I am however not sure the SATA III will be the improvement in speed that you might be looking for that a SSD would offer.

The card doesn't implement RAID, so if the device you connect to it supports RAID 1 it should work.

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

you have to connect SATA power to riser cable, otherwise it won't work. Suggest you connect each riser cable to one separate SATA power source on Power supply. Do not connect Riser cable SATA Power and Solid State Drive with same SATA Power cord, It will burn your SSD.

Comments from amazon.co.uk:Failed to work properly with an ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard and various SSD's & HDDs connected. Did not want to work with an SSD attached as a boot disk for Windows 8.1 Update.This is a nice card works in both types of pci slots in my computer. Worked with Windows 8.1 drivers. However, I bought it because I had SATA 1 connections on my motherboard and I thought I would get increased speed upgrading to SATA 3 with this card. However the speed using the SATA 3 card is significantly slower than connecting direct to the motherboard. A bit of a web search indicates that this is quite common. They may be SATA 3 6gb connections but, in practice no way near as fast as the SATA on the m/b.

I think it would work fine. Neither is single use, and I used the adapter and software to do drive backups after migrating to the new SSD drive.

It would probably work but I'd imagine the speed wouldn't be any better for than any other sata 1 drive you've had. If possible you should pick up a PCI SATA 3.0 controller or at least a 2.0 controller an use it that way if anything. Otherwise it might not even be worth it unless you plan to use it for a future build also.
