  I know you were being funny, but that is SO untrue. Even 1/10 of SSD real-world capability would rival an average SATA disk's real-world performance. YES, it is a waste of money, but it hardly sets you back to the era of punch cards.Worst-case, it sets you back to your pre-SSD upgrade. Not sure what you are reading or by whom, but 1/10 of their potential can't be accurate without some serious implementation errors. I have upgraded a good part of my older servers, but I do have an older server with an H700 running QB on an SSD RAID 1 with Intel  that tested with 2-3 times (I'd have to run again to be sure, but it was significantly higher) the read/write scores as my RAID 10 with 4x300/15K SAS drives in the same server. That is after being in service for 6 years. Thing to remember is that you can't just through in a bunch of EVO or Kingston SSD's in your server. Go with the pro line of Intel or Samsung - they usually work fine. Search the forums for help knowing which ones people have had problems or success with.
Hello.We have a T310 which we are not able to completely upgrade right now, so we thought we should do it in steps.I understand that officially the T310 only supports PERC 6/i, H300, H700, but those don't work very well with SSDs.Would it work with the H730 controller? I understand it might not show up, or show up as an error in dell administration software, but will I able to make a raid volume, and then boot from it?Current Hardware:Dell PowerEdge T310Intel Xeon X3440I did not found any information about using non-supported raid controllers.
Dell PERC H730 in Dell PowerEdge T310?
