Intel is weird like that. 35C is not the max operating temperature of the drive itself. Instead of providing a single number for the max temperature in absolute units they provide a table of airflow in LFM recommended at specific ambient temperature levels.anyone notice that these drives have a max 35C temp
thank you! I saw the same drive in the PCIe form has a 55C max ambient temperature rating.Intel is weird like that. 35C is not the max operating temperature of the drive itself. Instead of providing a single number for the max temperature in absolute units they provide a table of airflow in LFM recommended at specific ambient temperature levels.
So 35C is the max ambient temperature that Intel provided required airflow value for (650LFM for the 1.2Tb).
The actual drive temperature at which it starts throttling is about 55C IIRC.
Is there any possibility to buy chassis only? As official position is to sell Complete System Only, but I'm not much interested in overpriced basic parts.Yes. We run them in 24x hot-swap chassis with NVME backplanes.
Not cheap, but the only way to go for >4 NVME drives.
Intel has a 8 bay module that you could use: 2U Hot-swap 8x2.5inch SAS/NVMe Combo Drive Bay Kit A2U8X25S3PHS Product SpecificationsIs there any possibility to buy chassis only? As official position is to sell Complete System Only, but I'm not much interested in overpriced basic parts.

I have one or 2 of those kits NIB here someplace if someone has a need I haven't found an Intel Chassis again to put them in so I'd be willing to trade or sell them.Intel has a 8 bay module that you could use: 2U Hot-swap 8x2.5inch SAS/NVMe Combo Drive Bay Kit A2U8X25S3PHS Product Specifications
do you have the dimensions of the 8x2.5in drive bay? Wondering if I can squeeze one into my Thermaltake V21 caseUsed only, forums, ebay, reddit.

don't these fit into any R2000 chassis? Also if you prefer pedestal (tower) chassis - Intel has a kit for P4000 with the same sas/nvme combo backplane. So you could buy a cheap sas cage and swap the backplane.I haven't found an Intel Chassis again to put them in
Yeah, you're right. Few members definitely sold these here on STH earlier. No luck on ebay.Used only, forums, ebay, reddit.

For anyone else interested Amazon has that combo kit (cage and backplane) for $183 shipped (w/ Prime).
