Will this card work with a Solid State Drive? Plan to connect one SSD &amp; 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.

I had used this with a Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE250BW and it worked just fine. I recommend a fast HDD since SSDs have limits on writing and are best as SYSTEM BOOT DRIVES. I have tested this enclosure with over a dozen HDDs without a failure.

it won't work. you need connect PCIE slot to Video card, 1x adapter to motherboard 1x,4x,8x or 16x PCIE slots (the 1x adapter fits all PCIE slots), then use USB cable to connect PCIE slot and 1x adapter. In the end, connect SATA power. Hope helpful

Absolutely! Solid state drive doesn't have moving parts like a traditional HDD. This allows much greater performance and greatly decreases risk of failure....

Yep worked just fine for me when I switched to a ssd in my laptop. No issues

I have tested with Windows 7 32 bit and it does. I was even able to boot from a mechanical HD connected to the card, but not with an SSD one.

From my understanding of sata cables they are all the same. It is the transmission protocol that is different. That being said, this thing is totally passive. It just is a smaller configuration of the same connection. I would be looking at whether your ssd actually reaches 6gbps speeds. Most don't come close- that's a potential 750 Mb/sec. The bottle necks on these things have a lot more to do with the ssd's controller than the actual cable itself.

I didnt use that exact samsung drive but idid use a samsung msata ssd and it worked fine..once its msata it should work

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.

Yes it will work fine. As a single card solution you will have a minimal performance drop compared to PCIe 3.0, but this drop will be more noticeable in SLi setups (multi-card).

I don't have an 850, but don't see any reason it wouldn't. I have tried a variety of SSD's (Kingston, Crucial and older Samsungs) and all work perfectly.

Yes, you can put 2 SSD Card on it. I have a 1TB und a 500MB Samsung, just great !

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, but I wouldn't recommend it. I bought one for my NUC, but it would drop out randomly and the BIOS could not detect it. Go with the Intel mSATA SSD's. I bought one after returning this, and have had 0 issues with it!!

Thanks for your information. I did also find out that there's a sata port intended for an optical drive. If so, then I can mount the SSD in that bay and still have all 4 bays for data. Now - does anybody know if the BIOS can handle 3TB drives without repartitioning?

Yes it will work, the drive is exceptional faster than a standard, the only flaw I had seen, With Windows 7, or the bios at first instal it confused my D drive as the primary rather than the C, So I had to reformat and reinstall, the second time was all good though. I like it, It works great for me, I can hear windows booting even before my screen comes up after bios boot. Considering the price v/s solid state, I will get me another hybrid. You can never go wrong with Seagate quality anyways, that is why banks prefer Seagate in there PC's.

I'm very sure it will work with SSDs but you probably won't get the performance you expect. It would be more economical to get much cheaper HDDs.
