      I'm not aware of a limit. 256GB isn't especially large.

      Can you not copy/paste the error from the terminal during the install? Or grab a screenshot?

        Possibly but the screen rolls the error and returns to the installer screen.

        I can definitely get the data from smartmon tools.

        I have just ordered an 120gb msata and another 2.5 120gb ssd.

        That will give me enough new parts to test with.

            Hmm, that error sure looks like a bad drive. But it could be some low level compatibility issue with the drive controller.

              I have ordered a brand new 120GB MSATA and a 120GB 2.5" SSD.
              As both of the MSATA drives I have tried are second hand I have no history and can only go by the data.

              Odd thing that the smart data says healthy but I have seen a nearly dead drive reported as good before, so I always take the results it gives with a pinch of salt.

              If I had an MSATA adapter I could try testing the drive on another machine but the M370 is the only MSATA device I have.

                Mmm, I've got an m.2 SATA drive here that behaves similarly. It usually allows an install but throws errors continually. Shows as good in tests, though with a lot of ware. I wouldn't trust it with anything vaguely important! Odd to see the same on two drives though.

                  The other one was showing errors about read write and invalid geometry and invalid primary GPT using secondary. Even writing DD zeros to it produced errors.

                  Unfortunately I can not test that one anymore as I no longer have it to test.

                                  @networkBob Can’t really find much on the board, can you see a header to clear BIOS Password ? If not you would require to re-program the BIOS chip, I’ve done quite a few on Security Appliances and Laptops.

                                  Regards.

                                    I think you may be replying to an old post there. 😉

                                    Most of that has been solved or at least understood at this point.

                                      @stephenw10 My bad. Sorry about that, I saw the post on a email notification so thought I’d chime in.

                                      Regards.

                                        Thanks everyone for the info! I realized leter that the PS was on that image. jejejje
                                        Another question. It make sense to use SATA port with a SSD instead the MSATA? I saw that we can disable the MSATA PORT, so we can test on the SSD without buying another disk or removing the original.

                                          Yes, if you have a spare SSD or mSATA drive you can just swap it in and retain the original driver and OS.

                                            So now my M470 works flawlessly with the SSD disk but I have two issues:

                                            1. The names of the interfaces: IG0 and so on BUT begining from the PCI MODULE: so my port 0 on the front of the M470 is IGB08 and so on. The extra module with 6 ports is 0 to 6
                                            2. The external module, works and is detected BUT when I connect the network to these ports, the system dont detect the conection ever.

                                            Have you the same issues?
