Ssis950+4k+verified -
Wait, but the drive models: Samsung 850 EVO vs. 950 PRO. The 950 PRO is NVMe, while the 850 EVO is SATA. 4K performance can vary a lot between these interfaces. The user might be mixing up models or trying to compare. I should address that.
I should also consider that the user might be looking for confirmation on an SSD's capabilities, especially with 4K I/O. Sometimes drives have better performance with larger block sizes. So maybe the user is concerned about how their drive will handle small files or random writes, which are common in everyday computing.
I need to make sure to explain 4K performance in simple terms, maybe mention that it's different from sequential speed, and how it affects real-world usage. Also, highlight the importance of verifying performance, especially if the drive is being used for specific applications that require high random I/O. ssis950+4k+verified
Putting this all together, I should start by explaining what "950" as an SSD model could refer to, then discuss 4K performance metrics, and clarify what "verified" might mean in this context, ensuring the user understands how all these factors contribute to the SSD's performance and reliability.
Also, "verified" could mean the drive has been benchmarked and meets certain performance standards, ensuring reliability. Maybe the user wants reassurance that their drive is performing as expected in 4K reads/writes. Wait, but the drive models: Samsung 850 EVO vs
The user is asking about a feature, so they probably want to know how these specifications relate to SSD features. Maybe they're trying to understand if an SSD with these specs is good for their needs. I should explain SSD terminology clearly.
Also, check if the user is confusing features like 4K alignment, which is about partition alignment with the drive's physical sectors to optimize performance. Maybe they need to ensure their SSD is 4K aligned for optimal performance. 4K performance can vary a lot between these interfaces
Wait, "950" might be confusing because some SSD models have version numbers too, like the Samsung 850 EVO or 960 EVO. But the user wrote "ssis950"—maybe a typo? Maybe it's the Samsung 950 or 850 EVO? Also, "4k+verified" might be a requirement in their system or application. I should check if there are specific use cases where 4K performance is critical, like servers, databases, or gaming.
Hi Ben,
Great article and a very comprehensive provisioning guide! Things are moving very fast at snom and the snom 7xx devices (except currently the 715) are now supplied automatically as “Lync ready” and can be easily provisioned straight out of the box. A simple command of text into the Lync Powershell and voila!
You can find all the details here:

Hi Jason, Thanks. It’s good to hear that’s an option, this post was based off a mini customer deployment we had a few months ago…
(Also can’t wait to test out the upcoming BToE implementation)

Hi Ben,
just stumbled across your great article. Please note the guide still available (now) here:
http://downloads.snom.com/snomuc/documentation/2012-02-06_Update-Guide-SIP-to-UC.pdf
is kind of superseded by the fact that for about 2-3 years the carton box FW image (still standard SIP) supports the UC edition documented MS hardcoded ucupdates-r2 record:
“not registered”: In this state the device uses the static DNS A record ucupdates-r2. as described in TechNet “Updating Devices” under: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412864.aspx.
In short: zero-touch with DNS alias or A record is possible. SIP FW will not register but ask for the CAB upload based UC FW and auto-pull it if approved (but only if device was never registered: fresh from box or f-reset).
btw: the SIP to UC guide was made as temporally workaround, but I guess the XML templates still provide a good start line.
Also kind of superseded with Lync Inband Support for Snom settings:

http://www.myskypelab.com/2014/08/lync-snom-phone-manager.html
another great tool – powershell on steroids with Snom UC & SIP: http://realtimeuc.com/2014/09/invoke-snomcontrol/
(a must see !)
Please dont mind if I was a bit advertising.
Thanks and greetings from Berlin, also to @Nat,
Jan
Fantastic article! Thanks for sharing. We’ll be transitioning our Snom 760s to provision from Lync shortly.
Are there any licensing concerns involved?
Thanks Susan,
From a licensing point of view you need to make sure you have the UC license for the SNOM phones and on the Lync side if you are doing Enterprise Voice need a Plus CAL for the user concerned…
Hope that helps?
Ben
Thanks Jan 🙂
Thanks for the licensing info. It helps a lot!
