I see they have two models at slightly different price points. Can't figure out what's different about them.

Before I retired we had a bunch of Optane RDIMMs for VMware on HP Gen10. ESXi can leverage these things quite nicely even if you don't have workloads designed to leverage PMEM. In a nutshell ESXi would scan VMs for the most idle memory pages to migrate into Optane. It'd pull them back into...

I have a 27" and 2x 28" -- all 4k. Even with fading vision I'm a pixel snob and will never go back to 1080. PPI is at the far low-end of Apple's Retina displays over the years so it's really not excessive IMHO. This many pixels almost makes font hinting, anti-aliasing, and subpixel layout...

Looks underpriced to me: Intel D3-S4510 Series 3.84TB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5'' SSD SSDSC2KB038T8 *** Health 70% (actually very overpriced but still underpriced relative to the... you guys understand).

I won't clog the thread with a long non-deal post.. Just want to give a quick update on the Intel D3-S4510 SATA and its power situation. Drive idles at the same temp as my desktop SSDs. Also this: sudo sst set -ssd 3 powergovernormode = 2 - PowerGovernor PHYF126504VW3P8EGN - Status ...

Not sure who wants an EDSFF but I peeked at this guy and received a $120 offer from the seller: New Pull! Samsung PM9A3 E1.S Enterprise NVMe SSD It's only 1.92TB. If 3.84tb for $120 I'd jump on it and figure out the E1.S cabling later.

I concur with the sentiment regarding heat and Micron enterprise drives. I have an M9200 Pro (U.2) with direct airflow across the heatsink that idles around 52-56C. I've tried everything imaginable to place it in sleep/standby/D3/DIPM/HIPM and nothing works. The drive either rejects the command...

He's been playing it (sort of) on the Skylake iGPU. So even a crappy pipsqueak nVidia card is a major upgrade. DX11/12 is supported so I think he'll be fine.

Just grabbed a GTX 1650 for $47. Dad bought MS Flight Simulator without telling me first. Now I have to get him a video card under 7" long that I can stuff into his Lenovo M900 tower.

The question is how to duplicate this in a desktop. We need some kind of shroud that envelopes the front -- one with a fan mount to force-feed air into those 3-4mm wide slots. Everyone's cooling solutions look great for the heatsink underneath but... airflow through the enclosure? Mine is...

What temps are we seeing? This thing runs stoopid hot and nothing I've tried fixes that. I've poked at it with hdparm, smartctl, nvme-cli, and directly poking it from the PCI device angle. No dice. Never a low-power mode, no D3cold, no DIPM. I'm wondering if a component inside this thing is...

Sorry for necroposting but I think I've stumbled on a solution for the dreaded unknown header type 7f, ignoring device, at least on my system. ARI is enabled in BIOS (UEFI) but setpci suggests the upstream chipset port does not support ARI (I am using my chipset x4 port). Regardless, toggling...

The Intel P4510 and P4511 were marketed as low-power. The literature suggests 8.25 watts and I think (but cannot prove) some power tuning knobs are available via nvme-cli that might lower it.

FWIW the uncommon Intel SSD DC P4501 was specifically marketed as a power-sipping datacenter NVMe drive: "The P4501 will support tunable power limits: the U.2 version can be capped at 8W, 10W or 12.5W while the M.2 version will support limits of 6W or 8.25W. Idle power is not a priority for...

It's been a few weeks so this might have changed... The guidance I've seen for VMware hardware deprecations indicates CX4-Lx cards *are* still supported by the ESX 9.0 mlx5 driver. Which is kind of shocking given their age. However, the original CX-4 (non-LX models) were dropped. Even with no...

I have it up and running. Updated firmware with: sudo msecli -F -U micron-9200-fw-101008t0.tar -m ALL -n /dev/nvme0 ....downloaded from the French site above. Has multiple slots to (hopefully?) provide easy rollback: sudo msecli -L -i -n /dev/nvme0 Device Name : /dev/nvme0 Active Slot : 2...

How are these holding up for everyone? I've ordered one of these before finding this thread and now I think I've made a mistake. Cooling on the underside is easy but internal airflow from front to back is something else. Perhaps if I mount it nose down for some stack effect...

I'm here for this. I'm hitting a similar issue trying to spawn SR-IOV VFs on a device downstream from a B650 chipset bridge. The first PF can instantiate the VFs with no issue; no dice for PF #2. I'm wondering if anyone's tried setpci or pciconf to poke the ARIFwd register. I can't find...

As an IT pro I've found the distro most relevant to "corporate America" is usually Red Hat. The copy-paste distros Alma and Rocky might be a good choice for the server side. If you're enrolled as a student somewhere you can probably qualify for a copy of "real" RHEL and a logon for their...

Anyone seen this before? Very few references in Google and most refers to driver source code. Was getting this error from my Dell 020NJD_0MRT0D in FreeBSD, ESXi, and Debian -- always in the kernel logs. Device was visible in lspci but the ESXi mlx tools couldn't see it, the [limited] FreeBSD...
