SSD drives haven't been tested or configured for the Poweredge 860. This doesn't preclude them from working, we just haven't tested the drives in this unit.  I would make sure the bios is current  before trying one.  Since this server doesn't have a backplane, it would connect via cables same as their SATA counterparts.    Regards,
Hello everybody, I am new to this forum and I hope for a little help with the following question:  What we have: PowerEdge 860 from 06.2007 2.4GHz Dual Core Xeon, 2GB RAM 73GB SAS HD, Intel 3000 Chipset  What we want to do: Upgrade to a SSD-HD  What we found: [URL]  And now my question: Is this PowerEdge able to handle this (or another) SSD-Drive. Can we simply put in that drive and install a new OS on it (Ubunto or Debian)? Do we have to update the Bios to a special version? Or is this PowerEdge simply not able to run with a SSD-HD?  Thanks in advance for any helpful Information!
