Has anyone got NVMe to work with SuperMicro X9 boards?

[darkconz]

I am trying to put some journal drives in my existing systems and they are all SuperMicro boards, X9 to be exact.

I see the AOCs support list only support X10 and X11. Wondering if anyone tried it with X9 and got it to work? Thanks.

I think single device was the hint I got on X9, something to do w/ bifurification BIOS options missing maybe or lower level. I took another route.

It works, but single device per-controller so depending on your PCIE utilization it may work fine for you.

It would also depend on if you want boot support from NVMe or just use it as a data drive. Intel officially supports booting from NVMe since the H97/Z97 Haswell Chipsets (Supermicro X9 series should be for the previous Sandy Bridge-E/Ivy Bridge-E era) and Motherboard manufacturers acted accordingly, but I've seen people doing BIOS mod to get NVMe Drivers working in older Motherboard Firmwares.

I have a AOC-SLG3-2E4 running in a X9-SCM-F. This is the one with the PCIe switch
The motherboard bios (2.0b) recognizes the connected NVMe devices, 1x Intel SSD900p and 1x HGST SN-200
