    LSI SAS 9300-8e HBA Not Displaying Drives

    Bear in mind SATA-only backplane may not work at all due to cable length and signal loss, compared to SAS.

    4090 blocking PCIE slots

    Just throwing this in as a general idea, you may be able to use m.2 or any other pcie slots and convert them to a traditional pcie for your nvme(usually needs 4 lanes) and SAS(if you're willing to give up half of bandwidth and run it with 4 out of 8 lanes). You may want to consider these as a...

    [FS] Lenovo Tiny 10/25G Network Fan Shrouds

    Actually use 354 in several different models and generations of tiny with no cooling lol. This is great and I believe the main use is rather cooling an NVMEs on the back side than NIC that by now goes for 20 bucks. And they don't die. In one setup I have 354 with two arista QSFP-40G-UNIV these...

    Recommendations for Small Buisness configuration.
