M6800 Owners' Thread

Thanks for such a quick and comprehensive response!

 

Hi guys, I'm a happy owner of M4800.
Now I'm interested in getting an M6800.

How many hard drive slots do do you have in M6800?
and what's the fastest RAM memory stick for M6800?

 

M6800 is seriously just like the M4800. The only differences are the 17" screen (though there are no options higher than 1080p available), one additional 2.5" SATA drive slot, separate mSATA and WWAN slots (it is one combined slot in the M4800 so you can't install both), and the selection of GPUs available since it can take MXM 3.0b.

 

So, if you add a 2nd HDD caddy to M6800's DVD-R slot, do you get four SSD slots total?
one mSata + three 2.5" slots ??
That'll be pretty cool I guess...

 

Correct.

 

That's nice. three 4TB Samsung SSDs and one 1TB Samsung mSata will make a monster 13TB M6800 lol

 

You might have to sell a kidney though...

 

Hi, I'm soon getting a M6800, I would like to know if there is working pascal gpu that could run on it ?
Thanks

 

Situation is similar to M6700. A big difference is, Pascal GPUs will work on Linux out of the box. For Windows, stock Pascal GPUs don't work (BSOD at boot time no matter what), a vBIOS flash will be needed. P5000 with ES vBIOS works the best. I imagine that your P4000 with flashed vBIOS will also work (just the same as it does in the M6700). One user got GeForce 1070 sort-of working with a lot of work (messing with tables in the BIOS). Check out this thread... Probably the most interesting stuff is from January 2019 onwards.

Do you mean M6800 /w Linux OS will work with P5000 out of box?
That's great.. but unfortunately, most of 3D design software will run on either Windows or Mac.
