    HPE DL380 Gen10 NVMe compatibility

    Hi, does anyone know if in a HPE DL380 Gen10 with U.2 NVMe bay there are restrictions on the NVMe storage (brand, type, HP firmware)? Can I use i.e Micron 7450 Pro/Max; Samsung PM983; Kingston DC, Intel P series? Will a U.3 unit be compatible even in a U.2 slot? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Hi all I have recently ordered an LRNV9547-4I card directly from Linkrel in China. This card utilizes a PLX 8747 chip with 48 lanes.
