Question:
What is the recommended SSD to use in the Vi consoles?
Answer:
Currently, we are using a 240GB Samsung SSD with power loss protection. The SKU is 5089167-00.
But if you need to use another SSD, it is possible. You will need to image the drive with the appropriate image file of the console.
Let the system detect the new SSD when the console is in EWF-disabled mode and then restart Windows in that mode before you enable EWF. This will allow you to make sure that the drivers for the new hardware are installed correctly before EWF is enabled.
It is recommended to have an SSD with power loss protection (PLP).
