    Anyone used a U.2 SSD to PCIe X16 Adapter PCIE 4.0 to 4 Disk U.2 SFF-8639 SSD Riser Card

    Anecdotal but I've been using multiple of their AICs and cables for about three years now with no issues on two different Romed8-2Ts.

    Anyone used a U.2 SSD to PCIe X16 Adapter PCIE 4.0 to 4 Disk U.2 SFF-8639 SSD Riser Card

    This is certainly going to be related to the quality of that unbranded AIC. Test each drive individually with a cable to your MB (use the two Oculink ports). Confirm no PCIE signal errors. Then toss that adapter and buy from Startech or Linkreal.

    EXPIRED 1.5TB P4800X $300

    They asked me the same once and I told them it came from eBay and sent them the order from eBay. The other time they didn't ask at all. Mine just showed up tonight. Will update in the next few hours if this one is also DOA. Edited to include my previous skirting of the "where did you get this...

    EXPIRED 1.5TB P4800X $300

    Probably worth reaching out to Intel and asking for a replacement. They have stock that isn't going to enterprise because enterprise has already replaced them with items that have inventory!

    EXPIRED 1.5TB P4800X $300

    One thing to keep in mind with these deals, that I've experienced twice now is they are usually dead cards/untested. Twice now I've received dead P4800X 1.5TB AICs that were DOA but within the warranty period and Intel honored them no questions asked. That being said I snagged one of these and...

    eBay Epyc testing question

    It is not vendor locked; if the PSB fuse was blown it would not boot on hardware that didn't have Dell signed firmware.

    ESXi & nvdimms

    Found a snippet from a Dell support page that suggest ESXi only supports NVDIMM-N on Intel Xeon Gold (51xx, 61xx) and Platinum (81xx) series. I cannot get ESXi to recognize any NVDIMM-N (both Micron and SKHynix) on a RomeD8-2T w/ Milan 7313P. Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD detect and assign...
