1 ordered myself a new and shiny ssd last week.
2
3 one thinkpad still had that 60GB OCZ Vertex3 and that was a bit tight
4 now and then.
5
6 So I ordered a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB for my desktop and planned to
7 move the former 840 EVO 250GB to the thinkpad.
8
9 Done today.
10
11 Moving was rather *boring* ->
12
13 partition ssd, add new partition to btrfs filesystem, remove old
14 partition from btrfs filesystem, wait ~15 minutes, in the meantime copy
15 over the UEFI ESP to the new disk, install gummiboot there ...
16
17 it booted up at first time ... oh my, what has happened to good old gentoo?
18
19 :-P
20
21 (resized stuff, yes ... but no big blockers anywhere)
22
23 What I would like to discuss now:

50 Are these "failed" lines ok?
51
52 The box itself is a bit older, a
53
54 Hewlett-Packard HP Elite 7300 Series MT/2AB5, BIOS 7.12
55
56 (I never found a BIOS update! btw ...)
57
58 so maybe the chipset lacks features the SSD might be able to use.
59
60 Everything works fine so far, I would just like to understand if things
61 are OK with this new piece of hardware.
62
63 additional:
64
65 Device Model: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB
66 Firmware Version: EMT01B6Q
67
68 I did not find any firmware update online, do you agree?
69
70 Thanks, regards, Stefan
