    EU UK Supermicro X11SSL-F & X11DPH-i

    Ordered one last week, received it yesterday. Seems that I am less lucky than you guys - the board does not boot (I can see some things being initialized but at some point it displays a Supermicro logo and doesn't continue), I am unable to enter the BIOS, and I cannot access the IPMI for...

    Broadcom 9400-16i - Blocking uncertified hard disks?

My previous configuration consisted of a mix of different brands and types of drives (Crucial BX500 and MX500, Intel 545s, Samsung 860 EVO), which worked just fine. Unfortunately with...
