Hello PopiMatic, If your system works with hdd-raid, it should also work with ssd raid. There is no difference! (except some slight performance improvement...) ;-) PS: Make sure you have diagnostic information about your system's health available when running your system with ssd-raid. SIMATIC DiagBase or DiagMonitor are perfect for this job. A good document on IPC-diagnose can be found here: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478242 xnor |

Yes this IPC has a raid controller on board. The bios is probably preconfigured for use of the 2 ordered and preinstalled 320 GB hdds. If you want to use ssd instead of the hdds you must remove the hdds and replace them with the ssds. depending on the order you replace the disks and depending on the capacitiy of your ssd drives, you may have to reinstall the operating system with the a Recovery- / Restore-DVD. This DVD will be shipped with your IPC. It contains also the specific hardware drivers for your IPC. In short words: Sadly you won't get an "out-of-the-box" computer with preinstalled ssd's by just ordering it. You must do at least a little work on your own to use ssd's in raid mode. If you do so, be also aware of the amount of data your application writes to the drive. ssd's are known to have a limited capacity of data-writes / -deletes. Check the specifications of the ssd's before you buy them. Measure the amount of data, that is typically written daily on your IPC is also a good idea. So you will get a rough feeling about how long your ssd's will survive before they need to be replaced. xnor |
