On your motherboard, they are wired for PCIe only, so, no, that would not work.

OCuLink is a physical interface that can support PCIe, SATA, etc. U.2 drives will not work with TQ backplanes at all. You need an NVMe specific model. They will have "N#" as a suffix in the model name.

Some prices dropped and added a couple more systems.

They do increase bandwidth, assuming you're using SAS SSDs. As for which ports are for what, there's not really such a concept. SAS expanders have no designated input/output ports. It's really functionally the same as ethernet in that regard. You could have all 4 going back to your HBA or 3...

See no issues with that, assuming you have one of the versions that has the socketed modules (e.g. 216). Some have the SAS expanders as modules that sit on top of the main PCB. Actual module looks like this: Supermicro BPN-SAS3-216EL Rev: 1.01 Card | eBay

Yes, though you don't need to even remove it. If you don't connect any cables, it won't do anything.

Not really. Last thing I bought from them wound up being counterfeit CPUs: https://www.servethehome.com/counterfeit-intel-xeon-e5-cpus-invade-amazon/ They were great, circa 2005-2006.

Yes to both. Feel free to PM me if you have any further questions about it or want to purchase it.

Local pickup in Phoenix or you provide a shipping label. Gone - Apacer SATA DOM. Power cable included.

Local pickup in Phoenix or you provide a shipping label. Have a bunch of 1U and 2U Supermicro faceplates from various OEMs. They have dust filters and are lockable. So long as the rackmount ears on your chassis have 2 small holes on the inside, they should fit.

It doesn't have a heatsink. Supermicro was lazy and reused the photo from X10DRi-T4.

Why not get the 1GbE version of that motherboard, which doesn't have the heatsinks? Model is X10DRi-LN4+.

Zelle preferred as PayPal fees add up. Will also entertain trades since I like new toys and rotate through hardware regularly, though currently not in need of a whole lot. I think my reputation should help: Heatware Local pickup available in Phoenix. Will ship internationally. Like the title...

Gefen units are pretty high quality and readily available on eBay.

ECC is not OS version specific. You can use the home edition if you want.

M.2 is available if you get the iLO kit.

Should be pretty obvious as it's the same items, just with higher prices than STH. :) I don't post everything here. Much of it is non-technology items and others I don't think would be of interest.

I guess Dremel it is then. Supermicro's photos certainly do not make that obvious and most of their fans are not like that last I checked.
