Are PCIe ssd hard drives on client machines supported?

I don’t see the debug option. -
@egregers Nuts, you are using 1.2.0. I think you get to that by going into the host setting and then the advanced options from the menu on the left. Its been quite a while since I’ve used FOG 1.2.0. I.3.0RCx is soo much better.
-
@george1421 To setup debug in 1.2.0 you go to advanced tasks, choose Download - Debug, or Upload - Debug, or just plain ol’ Debug.
However the nvme disks will not be recognized at all on 1.2.0. To my understanding, in AHCI mode their recognized as their NVMe counterparts?
For full support, upgrading to the RC series of 1.3.0 will definitely help.
-
It’s actually possible to modify the existing Windows installation to force it to use the AHCI driver on next boot.
Instructions depend on the windows version, but it’s some simple registry key switching that does it.
-
@Quazz Can we get more information on that? If for no other reason than for future readers?
-
@Tom-Elliott We should advise @egregers to upgrade to 1.3.0 RC at this point I feel.

http://www.askvg.com/how-to-change-sata-hard-disk-mode-from-ide-to-ahci-raid-in-bios-after-installing-windows/ instructions for windows 7I believe Windows 8 and 10 don’t even require this, they tend to be able to handle these things much better, but just in case
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\StartOverride
Change the 0 DWORD value from 3 to 0.

I am on 1.3.0 RC 19. Is there an advantage to using raid over AHCI? It says raid on intel rapidrestore. I am not sure what this is, but I have it converted to AHCI and FOG is working.
-
@egregers I’ve seen that a few times on Dells, even when using just one drive (which makes it not really RAID, but whatever)
I’m not exactly sure how it works or what it does though, I’ve rarely seen it play nice on the other hand.
RAID can be advantageous in certain situations, but for a laptop I’d say why even bother?
For workstations it will all depend on how many disks and how much storage they need and where the emphasis should lie (speed, failover, both?)
But with a PCIE SSD already, why bother trying to get RAID to work for speed? So I can only assume failover, but that seems like a waste of an SSD, imo. Especially when you could just reimage with say… FOG.
TL;DR: I doubt it’s advantageous in your situation.
-
@egregers For a single drive there is no advantage. But I can say with my fleet of computers they are all dells and all are in the raid-on mode with a single drive. Its not clear why you are having this issue. But again I don’t have a T5810 to confirm or deny with. As always do you have the latest firmware installed on that T5810?
