Intel P3500 series ssd testbed for desktop systems

[ravish165]

Want to use Intel p3500 series ssd on desktop systems. What should be the system configuration to use it (motherboard,RAM etc) or any other hardware or software requirements.

Anandtech has written an article on Intel 750 series ssd using a testbed. Can that testbed be used for intel p3500 series ssd ?

You need a PC with a spare pcie3.0x4 slot

These are for commercial enterprises.

They are expensive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167260

Even more so than the 750s - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167298

Wanted to use Intel 750 series nvme AIC ssd on Asus Z97-K motherboard. We don't want to use drive for heavy write purposes. Just wanted to read few of the attributes from the device.

Our current planned configuration is :
motherboard - Asus Z97-K
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM - 4GB DDR3
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 160GB hard disk used as primary storage
Power Supply - same as used in desktop systems
Intel 750 series ssd as secondary storage on PCIe Gen 3.0 slot

Kindly confirm if above configuration is suitable to use for intel 750 series ssd.

Core duo on z97?

4gb ram?

160gb HDD?

A $1000 SSD seems way out of place. It'll work. But with the $1000 you could put together a way better PC.

Honestly, none of that makes any sense.

A core 2 duo won't even fit on a Z97 board.

Kindly suggest the system configuration for using Intel 750 series nvme ssd with linux OS (fedora or Cent OS).

Our requirement is to use the ssd for only reading SMART attributes and not for high write workloads.

For using Intel 750 Series SSD on desktop systems as secondary drive I have planned for system configuration as:

Motherboard - Asus Z-97 A
CPU - 4th generation i3
Power Supply - 500W or 750W
RAM - DDR3 4 GB
Primary storage - Seagate ST3400832A 400GB 7200 RPM (Bootable device)
OS - Linux based Fedora core 20 or Cent OS 6.5

Kindly review and share opinion about system configuration (additional hardware needed?) for using Intel 750 series ssd on desktop systems. My requirement is NOT doing performance testing of SSD so need a system which can properly detect and read/write data blocks/log pages using NVMe standard from SSD.

Have a read of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice (or I think AnandTech has something similar) and see if you can supply then pertinent info. Then we'll see if we can suggest suitable builds.

Why would you use an SSD for secondary storage?

Are you still planning on using the 3.1 kernel on this system? Does it it even support pcie storage?
