Does this card emulate AHCI so no drivers required? Will it work in OpenSolaris variants? Mar 24, 2015
There are three manufacturers that make PCIe interface M.2 SSD: Samsung, Plextor, and SanDisk. We didn't do any testing with the SanDisk so it may or may not work deepening on the model. There are 2 main factors that paly a huge factor in booting using PCIe M.2 SSD. First the motherboard chipset which has to be Intel 8x, 9x, 1xx series. Two is the BIOS firmware which has to support EUFI for this to work. The Samsung XP941 firmware is GPT partition. If your OS supports NTFS or FAT32 only and not GPT partition, you cannot install the OS on the Samsung XP941 to boot from it and it can only be used as a storage device. « Show Less -

Somwhere in tne internet i read that 10.5.8 normally works with Samsung SM951 SSD. Im in searching more info about that.
