DC Series SSD - Encryption Key Management in Windows Server
Folks,
I'm trying to understand how to leverage the hardware encryption built into the DC series SSDs for a branch server (doing all of the research now, so there are no surprises down the road).
I'm looking at purchasing a DC S3520 series SSD - this is listed as a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED). I have previously worked with Samsung Evo eDrive compatible SSDs in our corporate laptops - these work well with BitLocker and work with the existing hardware SSD encryption (rather than perform software Full Disk Encryption - which is often the case with OPAL certified drives without the separate eDrive comparability).
For the branch server setup, we need to have the data encrypted, so what is the Intel approved method of leveraging the existing hardware based encryption on Windows Server (2012 or 2016)? The server will have a TPM.
The Intel Solid-State Drive Pro Administrator tool does have the ability to enable eDrive support, but only on drives that support this capability. The DC S3520 series specifications don't specifically mention OPAL or eDrive support (or does it???)
The solution doesn't need to be BitLocker, but I'd like to know what options are there? For example, is there an Intel storage controller that can be purchased that can facilitate these SSDs for hardware based Full Disk Encryption? This may be a great solution when one wants to create a Mirrored RAID Volume that is hardware encrypted, as BitLocker won't do hardware encryption on eDrive enabled SSDs unless it can see them directly (won't work if they are in a RAID Volume - BitLocker will work - but Just in Software mode).
Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
Kieran

SSD Intel Series 320 - 160GB
Hello,
Intel SSD 320 - 160GB is seen as a 8MB partition. Generally, the problem is known and repaired by the firmware update, but not in my case (unless I do something wrong).
The drive is seen as:
Model Number: Intel SSD 320 Series 0GB
Serial Number: BAD_CTX 00000136
Firmware: 4PC10365
I have tried various Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool (Bootable versions) but I have information "The firmware on this SSD is up to date".
Windows also has no updates to the Intel SSD Toolbox.
Please help, I may still be able to save this disk, I do not care about the data.
Regards

S3610 vs S4600
Hi to all.
I've seen that a new SSD model was released: S4600.
Is this the proper replacement model for S3610 ? Is S3610 dismissed ?
If I saw properly, these two models doesn't have the same specs, endurance for S4600 is a little bit lower (a little bit less than 3DWPD),
write speeds seems to be higher and read speed lower.
Am I missing something ?
As we have a bounch of S3610, should I buy and replace them with S4600 when needed ?
would be possible to know the exact blocks number for both model (480gb) ? In other words, would be possible to replace a S3610 with a S4600 in the same RAID array ? (blocks must be the same)

ssd 2500 not seen in bios
Just purchased a SSD Pro 2500 240Gb on Woot! My Lenovo e220s does not see the drive. responds as if no drive is installed. BIOS won't see it. It works fine on another computer. I confirmed the drive firmware version is up to date. I am certain that it is installed correctly. Old drive works fine.

Performance of P2P DMA PCIe packets routed by CPU?
Hello,
I like to know whether P2P DMA packets on PCIe bus routed by GPU have narrower bandwidth than Dev-to-RAM cases.
[SYMPTOM]
When I run a sequential data transfer workload (read of SSD data blocks) using peer-to-peer DMA from triple Intel DC P4600 SSD (striped with md-raid0) to NVIDIA Tesla P40, it performed with worse throughput (7.1GB/s) than theoretical one (9.6GB/s),
On the other hands, 3x Intel DC P4600 SSD configuration recorded 9.5GB/s throughput, when we tried SSD-to-RAM DMA with same kernel driver.
GPU's device memory is mapped to PCI BAR1 region using NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA. So, they have physical address of the host system, thus, we can use these addresses as destination address of NVME READ command.
I wrote up a Linux kernel driver which intermediates direct data transfer between NVMe-SSD and GPU or host RAM.
It constructs NVME READ commands to read a particular SSD blocks and to store them onto the specified destination address (that may be GPU's device memory), then enqueues the command into message queue of the inbox nvme driver.
Likely, our Linux kernel module is not guilty, because it performs SSD-to-GPU P2P DMA with 6.3GB/s throughput on the dual SSDs configuration. Individual SSDs performs with 3.2GB/s throughput; equivalent to the catalog spec of DC P4600.
[PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU KNOW]
- Does Xeon E5-2650v4 (Broadwell-EP) processor have hardware limitation on the capability of peer-to-peer DMA packet routing less than the PCIe specification?
- If Broadwell-EP Xeon has such limitation on P2P DMA routing, is it improved at the Skylake-S (Xeon Scalable)?
...and, I hope folk's suggestion if you have any ideas to check more than CPU's capability.
Best regards,
* SSD-to-RAM works as expected (9.5GB/s)
* SSD-to-GPU works slower than my expectation (7.1GB/s)

Intel 530 240GB Full Diagnostic Scan failure
Hello,
I recently ran a full diagnostic scan of my Intel 530 240GB SSD the other day and saw that it failed at 9% during the Read Scan portion of the test while showing this message: "Error: An error was detected reading data from the selected Intel SSD. Contact your reseller or local Intel representative for assistance."
Since then, I have updated to the latest version of Intel SSD Toolbox (v3.4.7) and ran the test again with the same result. I have owned my drive for three years now and use it in my home desktop. After looking around at some of the other posts regarding SSDs, it was a common theme for an attachment of the SMART details provided by the Intel SSD Toolbox.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated,

Can't get Intel 900P 480GB to be recognized by system
My computer has mostly 2012 parts, Windows 7 Home Premium, with a Geforce 1080 video card. Hard drive setup is 2x Intel 335 series 240GB SSDs in RAID 0, a spare Samsung 840 250GB SSD, and a Western Digital 2TB Black.
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/mhunt0007/saved/#view=ZZGjXL
I just acquired the Intel 900P 480GB version, plugged it in, turned on the computer, didn't see it show up on BIOS flash screen, and upon reaching desktop there was some message about not finding the driver etc, and there appears to be 0 drivers of any sort with the product. I came to Intel's pages and ran the Intel Driver and Support Assistant which didn't detect anything other than Intel HD 4000 to update. Then I manually fetched the SetupNVME.exe, which seems to have done absolutely nothing after installation. I downloaded the x64 zip file but it doesn't have any installation instructions inside it. I'm stalled at this point. I know there's very likely some manually work around I have to do because of Windows 7's age, but I don't know what it is. My intent is to get the driver operable so I can install 8.1 on it and update that to 10.

Intel 540s SSD - hangs in Windows10, upon reboot no drive detected. DevSleep issue?
Hi all, I've got a couple hundred Intel SSDs and I've randomly had an issue with both the Intel 540s series and Intel 535 series drives randomly hanging the computers. When the computer blue-screens and reboots, the system can no longer find the harddrive. On the 535 series drives, Intel's tech support suggested I try installing the firmware that disables the DevSleep feature of the 535 drives. That has fixed my problem with the 535 series. However, I'm having basically the same symptoms with the 540s series drives as well. I haven't bothered contacting Intel support yet about the 540s series drives. Is there a firmware available for the 540s series that disables the DevSleep feature? The utility for the 535 series only works on that series of drives.
The Intel SSD Toolbox utility finds no problems with any of the drives when I run the full disk check repeatedly.
Thanks!

REGARDING 900P FOR BOOT DRIVE
Is it "normal" that 280GB drive was only recognized as 260GB? I know the drive never has "full capacity", but short of 20GB is a little to much.
Thank you !!
is that possible to detect more if I update the RST driver?

REGARDING 900P PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Physical Installation Instructions for Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series
Above is the instruction link, I am a little confused that
when it says
If you are using a third-party (add-in card) video card, place it in the PCIe connector closest to CPU (F)
So it means Video card?
My question is
if I have 2 PCIe 3 X16
1 PCIe 3 X16 (x2 mode)
optimal placement for the cards is that , put video card close to CPU, and 900P next to it?
what if the space between 2 slots is small (mATX), if I don't want to restrict the air flow on the video card
can I put it to the PCIe 3 X16 (x2 mode), if it is x2 mode does that mean even if it is a by 16 connection, but
it will only have X2 bandwidth?
Thanks in advance!

Optane Gigabyte Z270M-D3P
I have tried all the settings, and even made the custom win 10 iso . The setup i follow, The bios are set right according to everything i have read. So i boot to my usb and install windows, then when it reboots the computer Nothing. It just goes back into the bios. If i turn off the Optane in the bios, and boot to ahci then the windows boot partition works and i can continue installing windows. Then when i get to the desktop, and install the software it reboots, changes my setting in the bios back to Intel Rst Premium with intel optane acceleration, and im stuck at where i was before, nothing, boot loop back into bios cause it wont boot the windows partition. If i turn off again it then boots into safe mode and i see the intel optane pop up on the screen so fast and then i dont get to do anything, computer restarts. So i dont know what it is. I have tried everything and older windows versions. my hardware is fine and i just have the 2 drives installed. windows and the bios see the hardware. so it is a bios issue or intel optane drivers/installer.

Intel 900p 280 GB not being recognized on a ASUS Z370-E
Hey guys! I recently purchased an Intel 900p 280 GB and I've installed it into my ASUS Z370-E motherboard but not matter what I do I can't get it to be recognized and assigned a letter by the system. The Intel SSD Toolbox recognizes the drive and everything appears to be fine diagnostic wise but Windows 10 64 bit simply won't recognize it and the NvME Installation Setup won't detect the drive either. Any help you all could give me would be very appreciated!

How could I get DC p3600 whole life and remaining life ？
How could I get ssd life information（whole life and remaining life）in my system？
I tried "smartctl" and "isdct", but they do not work:

(smartctl can not recognize intel pcie ssd)
isdct:
#isdct show -a -intelssd

I want specific remainning life but a flag that show the ssd is healthy or not.
#isdct show -a -smart -intelssd

Reusing old very old SSDs
Hi guys!
Couldnt find the answers I'm looking for so I thought I'd reach out on the forum. This is a question for my job.
Short version: I'm wondering if it's worth the risk of reusing old SSDs instead of buying new.
Long version:
The SSD model is the following: SSDSA2CW080G3. I believe it's a product from 2011.Caractéristiques du produit Intel® SSD 320 Series (80GB, 2.5in SATA 3Gb/s, 25nm, MLC). We started using most of them in 2013 (a few thousands). Now we have a few hundreds of them that have been unused for a few years, stored in decent conditions. They're available to be reused,
We do reuse them in a different application (it works fine), and we perform basic tests with HD sentinel to see if they're in good shape. Almost all of them clear the tests and can be reused. They only have an average of 20GB of writing.
My question is, do you think those tests are sufficient? Should I worry that they are SSDs from 2011 and have been unplugged and stored most of the time? Most information i find on SSD failures and SSD lifetime considers read/write cycles and that the SSDs are being used.
I would approximate that it costs me 40-50$ to reuse them (tests etc.)... and yes I could purchase new ones for 100$. But we also do it for environmental reasons. The cost of a failure is about 300$ + bad customer/retailer experience.
I'm slightly leaning towards buying new and sending those SSDs to recycling.
Any thoughts?
many thanks!!
Charles
