    External PCIE Bifurcation

    @UhClem Thanks! And unfortunately, I'm not at BAH anymore, really need to update that on LinkedIn at some point. I jumped ship over to a green architectural engineering firm right before the pandemic was in full swing. So now my resources in that department are a bit more limited, but overall...

    External PCIE Bifurcation

    @UhClem Just read through your responses! Really appreciate you taking the time to dig through all this! I did some quick Googling to see what I could find in regards to the risers you mentioned in your latest post, I managed to find these that support bifurcation via the SFF-8643 36 pin...

    @Blinky 42, I think I came across those same risers when I found this blog post detailing the process. Though the issue I took with the occulink stuff was that since they were all multicard risers, you were limited in what kinds of cards could be put in one or at least it made it more...

    ASUS HYPER M.2 x16 and Dell R820

    Hello All, Been a bit of a lurker for a while on here, I had a question I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to. I have a Dell R820 and the ASUS HYPER M.2 x16. As of right now I have just a single nvme drive populated into the card and another on a separate card. I have the two of these...
