George, Thanks for responding. I’ll let you know if get them to boot. They will work for my app in either config, just thought it would be cool to boot from it as well. Regards, Jamie

We use them in our SQL servers on the 730xd platform with the OS drives in the back for boot drives. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Rogers, Jamie" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "George Beech" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>; "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: 12/20/2016 11:36:12 AM Subject: RE: [Linux-PowerEdge] Intel DC 3700 800Gb SSD PCI Thanks George.

The 800GB version they are referencing is the P3600 (previous generation). Any of the P3700's should work the same, they vary in capacity not in feature set. Just make sure all your firmware is up to date and it should be fine. Note: We don't boot to these, and have only used them as data drives in 13G windows servers. So take this advice with that grain of salt. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Rogers, Jamie" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: 12/19/2016 3:24:11 PM Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] Intel DC 3700 800Gb SSD PCI Has anyone tried the Intel DC 3700 Series SSDPEDMD800G401 800Gb PCI card in a Dell R630 or R620 and been able to boot from it? According to intel http://download.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/dell/IntelSolidStateDriveDataCenterFamilyforNVMeandDellCompatabilityGuide.pdf only the 2Tb version is supported on Gen13. Here as well http://download.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/dell/DellCharacterizationGuideforIntelNVMeDevices.pdf I was hoping to get away with the 800Gb model at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Intel-P3700-SSDPEDMD800G401-800GB-Height/dp/B00L0LFFH6/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00L0LFFH6&pd_rd_r=ZXC7538S4DSA6P8HJSWH&pd_rd_w=uBdrc&pd_rd_wg=mCzqr&psc=1&refRID=ZXC7538S4DSA6P8HJSWH Regard, Jamie Rogers
