M6600 Owner's Review - Warning - Large pics - Personal Opinions

No, I thought of the 2 regular SATA III bays for 2,5" drives.
Take a look at the following picture:


As you can see there are two pieces of 750GB harddrives installed.
Those are the sloty/bays speaking of.
And you can also see the 128GB mSATA SSD near the CPU fan.

The most powerful and most expensive option is installing a mSATA Mini PCIe SSD with 128GB capacity and two 750GB 7200RPM harddrives as RAID0. Exact you can see on the picture above.

That would be fine to know.
But somwhere I read that SSDs should be functional for several years.
I would not give such a guarantee in case of OCZ. (I do not give any guarantee)

Because of reliability of the Samsung controller.
Samsung SSD 470 series the previous generation of 830 series was no reason for criticism.
But those are all quite good so it is more or less a matter of preference. Samsung SSD 830 series is new on market.

Many users like the very fast Western Digital Scorpio Black.
I prefer the Seagate Momentus.

 

I agree with everything you said above.

OCZ just rolled out the Octane SSD with Indilinx Everest controller. This might lead to better compatibility and reliability.

The Western Digital Black and Seagate Momentus are usually the fastest 7200rpm platter drives, but the Samsung Spinpoint is up there too.

 

Are both hdd bays sata 3? The alienware had issues where only one bay was reliably sata 3 while the other bay was iffy.

 

Ok, if this configuration is too expensive to me for the next installation I should put my ssd in one of the HDD is its location?
In this case, where do I put the system disk?

For the graphics card, for use pro audio, between FIREPRO M8900 AMD, and NVIDIA Quadro 3000M which you advise me?

And the ram, I can take those supplied with the dell, or it is better to buy separately?

 

For pro audio the video card would not matter unless one introduced more latency to the system.

 

Separate ram is cheaper, and your system should run fine with non-Dell RAM.

 

Ok, for the graphics card so the M8900 should be fine.

And the ram, could you advise me to a crucial or kingston model, they seem to be the best ... a reference to buy? its format DIMM or SO-DIMM 1333MHz or 1600 MHz?
If the price is cheaper maybe I could buy 16 GB
What is best for 16gb of ram?

4x4 GB or 2x8 GB?

 

I have used G Skill, but usually go with Kingston Hyper X.

If you want to run at 1600, you will have to do 4gb x 4. All of the 8gb ram that I am seeing is 1333. The upside to using the 8gb is that you would have two slots open if you ever wanted 32gb. Then again, for pro audio 16gb should be plenty.

 

Okay so you advise me rather 8GB of RAM?
In 1x8 GB or 2x4 GB?

Can you tell me a kingston memory model?

 

Which cpu are you getting?
