Boot Dell In Safe Mode Windows 10

bought a dell windows 10 computer with 4 g memory. the thing couldn't do anything not enough memory. Dell wanted way too much to upgrade the memory so i looked up the stats and i ordered this. The computer now functions great. So i added 4 x the memory and i still have the option of installing the 4 g in addition to the 16 but i don't really need it since the 16 is now pleanty to run the system for my needs.

Needed a DVD player for my PC build to boot the Windows 10 DVD. Works right out of the box, exactly what I needed.

Added 2 x 8gb modules to my Dell Desktop XPS 8900, running Windows 10. When the system was booted up. it told me that I had added memory, and has been running flawlessly since then, for several weeks. Could not be simpler.

It integrated flawlessly with my dell xps laptop running windows 10 home edition. I literally had zero configuration to do. Highly recommend to anyone. Might be a bit pricey for some, but the price is highly competitive (if not lower) than other distributors (when I was looking two months ago). But it is very stable, and the audio is so good, you don't need headphones. Use it on zoom constantly, with family and friends. Only had it for about two months, but so far, fantastic!

New Windows 10 feeling!!!

Works well - Windows 10

Installed in a 5 year old Dell desktop. Immediate increase in boot speed, large programs load noticeably faster.

I recently acquired a Dell 5180 workstation. It has a mirror pair of boot SSDs but not local storage. Fine for an enterprise workstation, but not a home system. The Icy Dock enabled me to add two more 2.5 HDDs and a multi-card reader to teh only 5.25 bay.  Only complaint, had to purchase a SATA power splitter. Would have been easy to include in packaging.

I installed this in my new Dell XPS8900 as an Intel cache and it has made a dramatic difference. After several cycles, boot up is way faster than before. PCmark7 went from 3847 to 5712. The 1TB rotating disk sequential 4k read speed increased by a factor of 14. Installation was easy as the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software came installed in the Dell.

I bought this card about six months ago to the SATA SSD in a Dell Precision 5810 workstation using a 1 terabyte Samsung 970 Evo Plus as the boot drive. It was easy to setup and the performance has been great. I work in technology for a living and have been buying parts like this from StarTech for 10 plus years and I've never been disappointed with their products or their support. If I were, I have no doubt they would take care of it. Before you install any kind of PCI Express card to use an NVMe SSD as a boot drive, do the research to make sure your systems supports it. Otherwise, that's on you for not "reading the directions".
