I just installed a 240GB one in a Dell R710 without issue. I am not using it for a boot drive but using it as the data drive to host VMs. The boot drive is a pair of 146GB drives behind the H710 controller. Check to make sure your R710 has the latest version of all the firmware on it. Mine is 6.4.0 7/23/2013 SMBIOS version 2.6.

Are you using Win 8.1? Can you wait until release? I hate recommended an up and coming product that I haven’t had in my hands, regardless if we have reviewed the big brother to that product or not.

That product will retail for $600 whereas the P3700 is 4 times that; there has to be a reason right?

I’m in the market for a new PCIe SSD device, and was pretty sure I was going to get the Accelsior. But the market now seems to be on the verge of a sea change with the advent of NVME tech like Intel’s SSD DC P3000 series. The 400 GB P3500 will sell for $599, not much more than the Accelsior 480 GB model, but with almost double the throughput speed. How do you see this?

I wouldn’t want to buy the OWC product if it’s on the verge of being left behind by a major new development. Thanks for your thoughts on this….

Sorry about the problems and thanks for taking the time to return with your experience to assist others.

I am, sadly, returning the Accelsior today. I was on tech support yesterday morning. There are little in the way of settings on the Accelsior, and I went into bios on the Dell and one by one turned off other items including eventually the built in RAID controller, all to no avail. OWC concluded it was not compatible with the Dell R710 even though that unit was not on their list of incompatibles.
