You can get an old WD Velociraptor WD3000GLFS (only this model!) on Ebay or elsewhere and use this "IcePack" called Heatsink with enough well placed thermal-pads. This will tame nearly all hot running U.2 SSD's. Pssst, it's a secret ...and don't loose those four screws!

nice that it worked, another drive which doesn't land in the trash and instead do it's intended job. The samsung tool is anyway based on nvme-cli... which can too be used to set the sector size to native 4k.

there i saw it: Ahrefs SSD failure statistics and it's the Micron 7450 mentioned here, on the other hand the 9300 did it well. It can/will hit every manufacturer at some point, i remember the IBM "Deathstar" a long time ago... I still hope that i find the hxm7a04q firmware for the samsung sm883...

Where they from the Micron 7400'er Series? And i don't think Firmware is overrated when i see whats in the changelogs from the Samsung eSSD's... The pm9a3 is now matured enough and the firmware is unofficially obtainable. The Kioxia FL6 Series look interesting, and the overall hardware-design...

Probably the Solidigm (D7-P5520) or Micron (7500 Pro). I don't know whats with WD & Seagate. Sadly Kioxia and Samsung are not on this list... If you take the 12,8tb versions you get easy 2-3x the write endurance and 1,5-2x write IOPS, if you need that, or a simple overprovisioning (~20-28%) via...

There i found some output with Magician DC v2.0 parameter -H: -V [ --vendor-utility ] Enables the user to execute Vendor Utility command on specified disk Example: magician --disk 1 --vendor-utility --FAlog-dump [or] magician -d 1 -V -fa magician --disk 1 --vendor-utility --PLP-log [or]...

Easy to overlook by all this model names "pm983, pm883a, pm893, pm893a, pm983a, etc.". Yeah even the pm893/897 got an "a" upgrade, there is some kind of a new v6 Prime V-NAND out with 133-layers. I'm surprised that the v7 176-layer and 236-layer v8 has not been seen in any enterprise/datacenter...

Added Firmware for m.2 pm983 drives to the the repository. Look always for the first four digits, which represents the hardware revision/type, after this comes the f/w revision or version from 0 to F, next the vendor code, then probably some capabilities like SED/non-SED, lastly Q for ...Q? An...

Look in the Repository, i found it yesterday on a Website from H3C... jxtc404q From mjshark is too alot of the files, many thanks.

Hi, i've uploaded some new firmwares for the pm893, pm897, pm1653. Updated the ssdmanager tool too (DFDB_Basic.enc). I think now the samsung V-NAND v6 enterprise SATA drives are probably quite stable, or use the Intel/Solidigm alternatives D3-S4520/S4620 if you can get them. Samsung eSSD...

You can't use the generic firmware on a drive which is customized for big company's (HPE, Dell, Amazon...). The -**AAZ indicates this at least. Version 3.0 of the Samsung DC Toolkit is out by the way. PS: Was away for about 6 months. An illness hit me hard and struck me down, or more the...

Oh, i think i do mostly the latter one... but there sure are options, problem would be the small quantities (Digikey...). Some info about mounting Hardware: QATS Heatsinks People already made a 3D-Printing-Model of an 40mm fan-holder for the 9300-8i/9311-8i nad others (DC-Axial-Fan Holders)...

Are these original LSI/Avago/Broadcom cards or some 3rd party ones? I've seen it's hard to get an original used 9300-8i these days... About this plastic Push-Pin problem, it's fairly common. If you can get brass ones which fit (size, "spring-pressure"), then the problem will be a thing of the...

...but dont forget to use thermal-pads of different thickness. The Controller and DRAM have a different height than the NAND-Packages and PLP-Capacitors (some 0,5mm probably). Most of these Heatsinks are made for single-sided m.2 SSD's --> risk to damage some SMD-parts on the backside. custom...

They should work for all capacities. It seems to be important that the first four digits (hardware-revision/generation) and the sixth&seventh match (e.g. GXT5*04Q, HXM7*04Q, EDA5*02Q --> *=firmware-revision, 0 to F).

Sadly, without any working connection you cannot even update the firmware for this pm1735 U.3 SSD (which seems to be only available from HPE on the market, otherwise all the pm1735 are AIC). If you can update it to HPK6, the chances are there that it will work.

Yeah, i saw that i had to type in the BMC username and password before bios filename... was quite different on older systems. I had still in mind that one requires a license to update BIOS via BMC GUI, but this is no more. But having to short the cmos reset pad (stopped boot process after a long...

This should work on nearly any sata controller, at least one of the three tools... DCToolkit, Magician DC or SSDManager (cmd run as admin, probably not in the system root or better another drive). If not, use a live linux and force it with hdparm. MagicianDC has a parameter -E for trying to...

I dont read the thread correctly, and only saw "boot troubles 1.4b"... Then i updated an X12SPL-F yesterday with the EFI flash-tool to a new 1.5 revision, and it stuck after the update process on POST... only a "hard" BIOS reset helped. The IPMI FW is updated too - version 01.01.45 If you use...

There is a thread about lsi 9500-8i and U.3 ssd's, and probably applicable to this controller too: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/broadcom-9500-8i-nvme-u-2-u-3-tri-mode.39426/ And the firmware of the ssd (HP specific PM1735 U.3?) is already at HPK6, and you should update the...
