I just put an SSD into my hp dl585g7. I used the provided sata SSD drive connector, it's on the same sata driver that runs the optical drive. It's terribly slow to boot etc. Is this just a slow controller designed to keep up with an optical drive and swamped by an SSD? would pulling the optical drive help? I may wind up hooking it to the internal SAS controller with a suitable cable (there are 2 cables to the plugable hard drive area, i could swap one for another cable as I'm only using 2 hard drives. I'd just need to extend the power from the built in ssd connector. Advice? Suggestions?? At this point it's slow to boot like a thumb drive on USB 2 or an optical drive. I have an identical SSD in my desktop and it runs near the rated 500MB/s so I'm confident the SSD is good.
