Hi
Anyone tried to use this SSD (SAS interface) with a PCIe adapter?
I used below adapters successfully with Intel & HGST drives (NVMe/ SAS interface)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01D8F9JAK/ & https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J3MYD8K/ for HGST drive
OR https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-U-2-PCIe-Adapter-SFF-8639/dp/B072JK2XLC/ for Intel drive
I had some issue with the HGST drives but sorted it out with some format command (my thread https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...-sn200-sas-nvme-7-68tb-husmr7676bdp3y1.24249/ )
I tested the PM1643 SSD with both these adapters but no sign of the nvme drive in windows and linux so I can't even try format commands etc like I did with the HGST drives
The PM1643 has a 4 pin socket next to the SAS socket and another socket on the opposite side (not sure what's that), I was wondering if it requires extra power other than what is provided with the SATA power cable in this adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J3MYD8K/ or by PCIe slot with the other adapter
The drive I am testing is 15.36TB but spec is the same for all sizes I see
The seller tested it with HPE P222 (server not pcie card in a pc) and has offered to sell me the HPE P840 but I have on order the Megaraid 9440-8i (no idea if it will work with this card).
Thank you for your help!
