I almost forgot about the M.2 to U.2 cable, I brought one too, it is still in a box.
I like to use PCIe to U.2 drive adapter.

 

[LukeP]

so it is possible now? people always said not possible even with the right cable because m.2 is a subset of u.2 - so u.2 carries extra signals on top of m.2 standard. is that not true now?

Reporting with sample of one

Received Samsung PM963
Data written: 1.1 PB ( I never owned a SSD with 1.1 PB written )
Read: 5.4 PB
142 days power on.

That is a lot data written to this SSD in 6 months.

Now I need to research the PM963's endurance.

Looks like ~2.7PB so unless you go nuts it should be fine.

I have not used the Intel cables that I brought.

I looked up my Intel cable order list.
here is the cable
U.2 to M.2 SSD cable - Replacement U.2 to M.2 Cable for PCIe* NVMe supporting Intel® Solid State Drives - SSD Spare Parts

Judging from the pictures, one end is for M.2 , the other end goes to Intel 750 SSD

OOS — someone bought the remaining drives quickly.

@samat.io if they lasted this long, it isn't "quickly" by STH effect standards!

I am a little sour. These still have not been delivered via USPS. It is only 20 miles away!

Patrick , you get the privilege paying 9% CA sales tax , they throw in slow delivery.
