Looking to get the ST4000NM0033 for a Dell Precision T7610 Workstation. I might get two and run RAID 0. Anyone using in a workstation?

Hi, Mike: I can't be of help, as I've never used this particular drive, and never had experience with a workstation.

Hi Ernest, Here's what I found on the Lenovo Forums site - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-mSATA-speed/td-p/767485. According to what they say here, NO, your t430 will not support this drive because the msata port is sata2 not sata 3 which is what this drive is. Good news is it does support SSD msata 2 so you need to look for an msata 2 drive....

Absolutely. there are always SOME weird motherboards and some NAS's that don't like certain HDD's, so it isn't guaranteed, but it's a real nice, solid, good working drive. Read some reviews on it. In RAID 0, by the way, you can make up for the 5400 RPM and make these things scream and still have the low heat, low power consumption.

Doesn't matter both have similar specs. I have these and WD black drives in my system, I run them both in raid 0 and both arrays perform about the same.

I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with a 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon 1066 Mhz DDR3 ECC and it worked flawlessly in mine. No issues what so ever, snapped right in and the Mac recognized it with zero issues.

Greetings Christian, after a quick read on the poweredge 2950 specs, it seems to me that this Hard Drive will work with no problem. But, if you are planning to use a RAID or NAS or SAS array, and have doubts, I will suggest to read closely this 2 links that might provide some help, or call to Dell customer service for more info.1. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/2950_specs.pdf2. http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Computer_Science/sas_sata.aspIf you have any more questions, just ask. Have a nice day, Lenin.

Yes, actually if you plan on over clocking and are limited to a mATX board, this is the best one out there for enthusiasts and regular users alike. Over clocks very well and Sata II is not a big deal, I'm running two SSDs in RAID 0 and don't see the sata II data caps yet!

The answer may depend on what Operating System (OS) you are running and if you have the existing drives in a RAID array. If you have the existing drives installed as Just a Bunch Of Disks (JBOD) with individual drive letters assigned to them, then I would definitely buy a NAS specific drive (ST4000VN000) since it is physically a MUCH better drive and specifically designed as a 24/7 drive (the ST3000DM001 is NOT designed for the rigors of a RAID environment nor does it have time-limited "drop-out" features which is necessary for RAID usage). I personally have many of the older ST3000DM001 drives in use (I bought them before the NAS drives became available), and while they are OK, they tend to run at least 10 degrees hotter and have failed on a number of occasions. I use StableBit DrivePool software to create a redundant drive array similar to a RAID 1 array, but the time-limited drop-out feature is not necessary for that software to work properly. However, when I've had to replace a failed older ST3000DM001 drive, I have always bought a Seagate NAS ST4000VN000 as the replacement. IMHO, the Seagate ST4000VN000 is an excellent drive, now selling at a reasonable price, and has very good performance features. Hope that helps. The Beagle

You can use Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1866 MHZ (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Product #CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10, I Use a Samsung 840 Pro Series 2.5 inch 512 SSD Model MZ-7PD512BW and Two Western Digital Red 2 TB NAS Hard Drives 3.5 inch SATA III 64 MB Cache Models - WD20EFRX Mirrored in a raid aray. Very Fast!!!

Yes. Took a little effort to get both running well. Go to station-driver for latest firmware and drivers. I have them in x58 with windows 7 x64.Speedwise they are good for sequential, random access is barely any faster than sata 2 ich10r. So not recommended for high performance SSDs

I have 4 x 6TB drives, 4 x 5TB drives driven by this card. There is no issue. I have no clue what post from t4d is about. Don't believe such non-sense. Enterprise networking is my bread and butter.

Good luck...I have four TS140's and I have had great luck turning them into solid workstations. Aside from the one exception, 3 of 4 have Xeons, ECC memory, SSD OS Drives, RAID Data, and GTX 750 Ti Video. I like them so much, I wait for crazy sales and pick another up as my next project. Low 200's for the i3-4130 and low 300's for the e3-1225v3 is really hard to beat. The one you got is the best deal because is has Xeon and the extra drive bay.

I have never owned a Dell Precision T1500. So, I checked its specifications online (Googled it), which revealed that the system motherboard is designed for up to 16GB 1333MHz non-ECC memory in 4 DIMM slots, one 4GB 1333MHz module per slot. It should work, keeping in mind that the modules may have to be added or replaced in pairs. The manual or the specs that can be found using the following link should be checked: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4WQIB_enUS525US525&q=dell+precision+t1500+manual Or simply type Dell Precision T1500 in the search bar.

I use it in desktop class hardware for a hyper-v lab. Works great. Two different systems actually, both run Intel i7's. One is an MSI motherboard, the other is an asrock.

I have the N40L. I have found it to be reliable when runing Windows Home Server 2011. I have no experience with the N54L.

Onboard RAID (0, 1, 1+0) is a software supported RAID. If you want performance RAID I'd recommend a dedicated RAID card. Also ESXI does not support onboard software RAID.

I put it in a really old Dell 4600, with a IDE adapter. I had no problems what so ever. All you need to do is make sure you have lots of memory, and a fast processor, to handle the hard drive. I now use my drive as a secondary drive in my new computer.. You can get adapter from Amazon if you need one. If it is slow just upgrade you memory, that will help a lot.
