    Does no one update firmware?

    I have been getting various drives on EBay over the last couple months and found that nearly none of them came with up to date firmware.

    HP branded Intel S3710 Wear indication?

    I bought a few of these S3710 drives off ebay that happened to be HP branded. HDSentinel doesn't seem to know how to interpret the wear indicator on these drives and neither does the Intel SSD tool. Anyone have another way of checking the wear on these drives, perhaps an HP utility?

    Cable for r7x0 server

    I am trying to find the right cable to use for my r720 with r730 backplane installed to run to a card in the rear PCIE slots (5,6,7). greater than 31" long left (?) angle SFF-8643 -> straight SFF-8643 Something like the Dell 9MHYN might work but the angle is in the wrong direction I think.

    I installed a QL41164 RNDC card into my R720 and it complains about the option rom at boot. Anyone have any ideas how to disable it? Bios only lets me disable option rom for devices in the pcie slots not the RNDC port.

Attached is my pinout documentation I worked out from...
