Thank you for your thoughtful replies. Somehow my @toszter profile no longer authenticates nor has a record of my email address so I had to recreate a new profile.

 

At any rate, I'm not a windows user, nor a mac user. I want the hardware running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS with VirtualBox partitioning out a mess of VMs designed to emulate an Amazon EC2 region full of machines that I abuse to load test the software architectures I write. Every server application will loopback internally, so the machine will essentially abuse the CPUs, the Predators (two of them) and in turn the software I/O capabilities will be tested with only local Network I/O constraint.  My only other constraint will be RAM at 48GB max. So I'll be limited to about 8 VMs @ ~3GB (leaving a little to spare for the core processes).

I wonder if anyone else out there has forgone the Windows world in lieu of Linux on the Z600 with a similar confirguration?

One thing that worries me about pcie ssds is what happens in a power failure. I understand that some ssds have a capacator which keeps the power supply on long enough to flush the cache. I contact Kingston and was told that the predator had no such protection. Does anyone have any thoughts on this.

Ok just found this paper on the Kingston website which would indicate the pcie ssd is protected. Not sure if the circuitry is on the hhhl boear or on the memory card.
