Hey all, So just looking for some expert opinions/experience-based knowledge regarding cable length between controller and expander. I have an Adaptec 72405 controller and an Adaptec 82885T expander, and if I use the short 8643 to 8643 SAS cables that it came with, no issues, but if I use a...

Thank you both for the quick and concise answers! I ended up ordering the U.2 adapter from the link in Azev's post. Though it means sacrificing a VM's video card, it looks like a quick and easy solution! I still can't believe I didn't realize I couldn't use my controller for the NVMe drive...

Or would I need to buy an actual NVMe controller like this one (and use the cable I bought to connect to it) https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-SFF-8639-Express-Converter-Mainboard/dp/B08HGRKVZX/ Thanks again for any help. Apologies for all the dumb questions. I usually over research the crap out...

Oh No! I just assumed the SFF-8643 to U.2 SFF-8639 cable would take care of the connection. Didn't even occur to me to think there would be any other factors to consider. So how would I connect this NVMe drive? Would something like this do the job through an M.2 slot...

Apologies if this is an obvious question for the pros, but I can't seem to figure this out. I picked up a demo HPE NVMe drive, and just got my SFF-8643 to U.2 SFF-8639 cable, but when I connect it to my Adaptec 72405 SAS card, it doesn't see the drive at all. This is my first experience with a...

Thanks for the great lead! Price is rising as well. $750cdn now. I got one just before it went up.

I looked at that one, but I ended up buying a converter for the 6-pin PCI-e to 8-pin EPS for my dual board. My PSU had 4 of the PCI-e cables, so it made more sense for me. If you have an extra one, it might be better than splitting the EPS line. Athena Power Cable-PCI6EPS428 6" PCI-E Converter...
