    Whats the deal with U.2 enterprise SSDs selling so cheap?

    U.3 backplanes are incompatible with U.2 disks, so I'll avoid them as good as I can. I can already see nice problems like "Why does this U.X disk not work?? Oh snap, it's a U.2 disk but the backplane is U.3"

    X10qbi Ram Riser Locations
