    EXPIRED Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD MZ-V9P1T0B/AM $29.99 NIB

    So the seller account is still "on vacation" mode, but he somehow went into ebay and added a tracking number on July 4th - which is invalid and is not tracking anything. What do you guys suggest to do? The only option on the website is "Return the item" but it it will never arrive of course and...

    did you request a refund, or it was automatic? Mine has not been refunded. I did report this issue over chat support, the agent said to wait until July 11 then open a case on July 12 lol

    EXPIRED Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD MZ-V9P1T0B/AM $29.99 NIB

    The plot thickens... now the listing says "The seller is away until Jul 04, 2025. Add this item to your watchlist to keep track of it."

    EXPIRED Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD MZ-V9P1T0B/AM $29.99 NIB

    hmm... ordered 6 of them ($180+tax). Within 10 minutes of placing the order the seller marked "shipped" without tracking... I don't think no legit seller would ship an order without a tracking number today. Maybe the way eBay pays sellers is as soon as they mark something shipped. I'm tempted...

    Any issues or gotchas with using the 12-bay 6Gb/12Gb SAS cages (Inspur?) that have been on AliExpress for the last year or so? SATA support? Series?

    Hey @Dave Corder I have just purchased this same enclosure and was setting it up last night. How many of the SFF-8643 connectors in the back are you using in your setup? My HBA is 9500-8i which is SlimSAS - so I purchased‌ SlimSAS 8i S‌FF-8654 to 2 X Mini SAS SFF-8643 Cable My question is...

    Getting vPro remote KVM working on Minisforum MS-01

    These notes were very helpful... I spent hours scratching my head why the freaking video on the KVM wouldn't work until this post said that vPro doesn't work headless and it requires a dummy HDMI plug.... ordered one and hope it fixes it. In the meantime enabled the serial console but it only...

    Intel AMT / vPro - are older gen CPUs locked to older firmwares with buggy KVM?

    OK this confirms that chipset locks you down to a specific version of intel AMT. So even if newer software updates or features come out for say AMT v16 (say its meteor lake) that older hw will stay in v14 or whatever track they are on.

    Intel AMT / vPro - are older gen CPUs locked to older firmwares with buggy KVM?

    I didn't think it would make a difference but holy cow, this is the reason. The only USB port that works with pikvm on this HP 800 G6 is the front right USB port (closest to POWER led). Thank you for the pro tip

    Intel AMT / vPro - are older gen CPUs locked to older firmwares with buggy KVM?

    I purchased a HP 800 G6 i5-10500 with vPro and have been messing around with it using Meshcentral/Meshcommander and finding a lot of problems getting the remote .iso mount to boot and let me install any OS. Are these issues common and expected? Running latest HP bios and intel ME firmwares v14...

    Are there ways to modify the BIOS or in linux/unraid lower the TDP of my 10500 to the lower tdp of the "T" version?
