You could have bought those $74 960GB PM953s with that money but they're TLC..When I grow up, I want to be like some guys I know on this forum, with their multi-node all NVMe clusters!
Until then these SAS3 drives will have to do!
LOL No. - however you will have a heck of a time fitting them in that cage. May need an angle grinder and that would be a sin.Is it a sin to run these in single channel SAS? I want to stick some of these in a tower chassis and I was looking at the MB326SP-B which would save a lot of space but would basically destroy any benefit of them being SAS.
Completely forgot about the drive height lol. Not looking for icy dock in particular, just something compact and neat, can't imagine the nightmare of cables for >10 drives without a backplane.LOL No. - however you will have a heck of a time fitting them in that cage.

Drives are 15mm thick. They won't fit in any of the express products. if you want icy dock you can take a look at the tough armor series.
Thanks for sharing this. I picked up 8 of these SSDs and it's my first time coming across type 2 data protection.Figured I'd throw this in here in case anyone wants the 'easy button' fix. Thought I saw it 'somewhere' in the thread but I must be blind cause I can't find it now.
To remove Type 2 data protection simply issue the following cmd using the sg3_utils suite/utilities, I've done this via CentOS7 in the past but used native/inherent sg utilities in FreeNAS today.
Code:sg_format --format --size=512 --fmtpinfo=0 /dev/da7 -v
ubuntu@hostname:~$ HGST_SSDS=($(sudo sg_scan -i | grep -Pzo '\/dev\/\w+(?=[^\n]+\s+[\w-]+\s+HUSMM1640ASS20E)' | tr '\0' '\n'))
ubuntu@hostname:~$ echo "${HGST_SSDS[@]}"
/dev/sg0 /dev/sg1 /dev/sg2 /dev/sg3
ubuntu@hostname:~$ for DISK in "${HGST_SSDS[@]}"; do sudo sg_format --format --size=512 --fmtpinfo=0 $DISK -v; done
I'm using a Dell R710 and I don't have access to a SAS3 HBA or backplane, so I've only tested with SAS2 (6gbps). I currently have 4 of these drives in a hardware RAID 10 using a Dell PERC H700 and another 4 drives connected to a Dell PERC H200 flashed to LSI IT-mode firmware and passed through to a VM running OmniOS with Nappit. I haven't had any issues with them being detected so far.What HBA are you guys using?
My LSI 9300-4i does not "see" any of the drives!
I was operating under the assumption that the drives should be able to operate at 12gbps SAS3 as long as they're connected to a backplane with proper SAS3 support and SAS3 RAID/HBA using SAS3-capable cables (I believe these would be SFF-8643 to SFF-8643 internal cables).My question - has anyone actually had success changing them to 12G? When I load up the Niagara software it says "license expired, please download the latest version" and that is as far as I get.

Well that's a bit concerning.@Ryan B That's exactly what I'm doing (no backplane), just going from 8643 to 4x 8482 breakout cables.
Right now they are all on some flashed HP H220's (P20 IT mode). SM SAS2 expander backplanes.@itronin What HBA are you running? SAS3 HBA is not doing it for me, might have to find a SAS2 or try the Dell H330?
