@WifiCable are you aware of any 3D printable models that can help secure the NVMe drive connected to your Tiny5 riser?

That’d be amazing, HBA + NIC is definitely a very powerful combination but with these devices it’s usually either one or the other, and your proposed riser would solve that.

@WifiCable would an M.2 to PCI-E riser (something like this, from AliExpress) work in the NVMe slot of the TinyRiser v2? Trying to connect both a network card and an HBA card to the same device (will need a custom 3D case but I still like the idea as I don't have enough space for an SFF).

Is it just me or M720q and M920q are becoming increasingly harder to find and expensive? I'm thinking about finally starting a cluster lab environment but the prices on eBay are insane, with very few auctions and units available. Is it me? The season? Not too long ago I bought 2 M920q for less...

That was a quick answer, thank you very much! Do you know what the other pads on the motherboard in this picture are for (black and red wires)? EDIT: I haven't done this in a while, sorry. Those are the 4 cables I need to power the drives using something like the cables in the picture, right...

Does anyone know how many amps one can get from the 12V onboard the M920q? I've seen people report online that they can power 2 x 3.5" HDDs from there, but would love if anyone knows for sure how many amps one could pull (limited also by the power supply, of course) Also, if anyone has the...

That’s an interesting card. Got a link?

I have the exact same problem, and only realized after getting the card. I don't know much about this but I read here that some transceivers are able to negotiate at different speeds than just 10GbE ("SFP which incorporates a SGMII interface, which effectively separates the PHY and MAC...

I don't know why everyone is ignoring you guys. Yes, it's possible to install a 2230 NVMe on the "WiFi Card Slot". You'lll need an adapter called something like "M.2 A/E Key Slot To M.2 M Key". Expect to pay ~US$5 (inc. shipping) if bought on AliExpress. Here's a link but remember that...

Please do report back your progress. The Tinyriser v2 has a 12V output but I assume you already know that/is not useful for your case.

My understanding is that USB NICs are particularly unreliable since they're all (or almost all) based on Realtek chipsets I think I'll buy this one (the one based on the Intel i226) as soon as it goes below $20 again and run some tests

Is anyone here using a 10GbE NIC with more than 2 ports? Or maybe added an extra 1 port 2.5GbE NIC using the M.2 A/E Key Slot? I'm planning for this situation: two WAN connections (10Gbps + 2.5Gbps for failover) and a PoE Switch with an 10Gb SFP+ port. With a 2 port 10GbE NIC I can connect to...

I’m just learning about all this so I’d like to ask: why not just use an SFP+ to RJ45 transceiver?

Thank you, I did the math and since I don't live in the EU it'd be really expensive (about the same amount of money I paid for the M920q itself) I also found this on that same repo where the author explains how to use a PCB manufacturing contractor such as JLCPCB to have them build the risers...

Any help? Please?

Ah update would be greatly appreciated!

The 7150-24P looks promising. Any idea why it's not listed on the first post? (just curious)

What are the options to get a custom riser these days? I saw the ones on @WifiCable's GitHub repo but the only ones that seems to be on sale are the ones from a chinese guy selling on Taobao but buying through Superbuy the prices go up significantly

Hey guys, I'm new around here. I'm thinking about adding some PoE cameras to my setup, somewhere between 8 and 10, so after doing some research I found this thread Question: Is the ICX 6450-24P @ ~$75 still a decent buy these days? I want something that produces little noise and heat, and...

I really like this idea, something like those "awesome" lists that can be found on GitHub. Of course, here we're talking something a little more detailed and not so much as just a list, but the idea of having Github host it sounds great (traceability, pull requests, readability, etc.). For...
