I want to buy a smaller Samsung PM983 M.2 22110 or similar enterprise grade M.2 22110 or 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 drive with PLP for ZFS SLOG with good health. If there is some optane available, I am interested too. Cheers, Sašo

SOLD Selling 6x drives, I upgraded my data storage pool so I'm selling the old drives off. These are enterprise U.2 NVME drives that can be formatted to 512, but are currently set to 4k blocks. They are Samsung PM1723b (Netapp branded). They are fully compatible with standard servers. I had...

It's happening again, right before placing orders for U.2 drives, Samsung BM1743 61TB shows up promising 61TB with PCIe 5, the perfect candidate for the very few PCIe 5 MCIO slots on all my Motherboards (only have 3 mcio on each MB). Bit by bit, slowly wasting my life, I realised it's most...

MCIO PCIe 5 -> MCIO x8 74 Pin to 2 X SFF-8639 U.2 Cable -> U.2 PCIe 5 It would be quite a remarkable stupidity to buy a PCIe 5 motherboard and a PCIe 5 U.2 and slow them down with a PCIe 4 cable, if indeed these cables come in PCIe versions. This one was mentioned earlier, not sure about the...

This is one question I wish I never had to ask, but due to product availability, I might end up buying different NVMe drives with a similar storage capacity for the RAID 0. Would it work? What could go wrong if I combine in a RAID 0?: Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN655 → U.3 PCIe 4 TLC Solidigm...

Hi all - my first post here (I think). Where should I post a question about a server configuration suitable for a remote branch ESXi 7/8 hypervisor? I see a "DIY Server and Workstation Builds" forum under "hardware" - which doesn't seem a fit as we're looking primarily at Tier 1/2 servers...

Hi, I’m in the middle of buying parts to upgrade to a new server I got (for free)! ML350 G9 From ML 150 G6 Now I need to switch to SFF disks, which is not really a problem because most of them are 2.5-inch SSDs But I need a new drive for the OS because what I’m using right now is SAS LFF I...

I had some Netapp X4010A's (SED) come in recently that were formatted to 4096 byte sector when they're supposed to be 4160. I was able to format them back to 4160 in parted magic using the command nvme format -l 4 -f /dev/nvme0n1 I can do this all day long with Netapp SAS drives that are 512...

I recently acquired a Supermicro superserver with X10DRG-OT+ mainboard and X9DRG-O-PCIE board. I need to be able to boot from NVMe drive(s), my plan was to install Proxmox on a ZFS RaidZ1 with 4 NVMe drives. I got a cheap PCIe NVMe riser card - ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 PCIe 3.0 x4 Expansion Card V2...

I'm a happy TruNAS user who is migrating an old 5400rpm based server over to an all NVMe system, and I had a couple of questions around structuring the pool and selecting record sizes. I've done some searching online and the guidance varies quite a bit so I'm turning to all of you in hopes that...

It is time. I have a pair of loaded dell servers that I am now ready to sell. They are similar in spec to the following: Dell PowerEdge XR12 Server - Xeon 8352M 32-Core 512GB RAM 6x 3.84TB SSD H355 | eBay They want $14K for one. I can sell 2 of a similar (actually better in some of the...

I bought a disk on ebay, which turned out to be a U.3 only SSD (it is an HPE PM1735a similar to this article). As expected, it doesn't work on a U.2 connector, either the motherboard doesn't boot or Windows doesn't boot. I am looking at U.3 cables but I must say I am a bit confused. I'd like to...

I have been adding u.2 (PCIe 3) drives to my home server (more than reasonable or needed). What I find, which I am sure will surprise no one, is that the cabling is an absolute nightmare. The u.2 cables are typically very thick and the connection to the drive is fragile and doesn't hold under...

Just purchased an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard with a SlimSAS connector supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 mode. Would like to connect a Micron 7500 Pro 7.68TB U.3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD using this port wondering what cable to look for? Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero User’s Manual Micron 7500 NVMe...

Picked up a used HP Enterprise NVME (U.2) 1.92TB drive and on the edge of it there is a different port. I am thinking this port is for (a)battery/power backup and/or (b)some HP monitoring port. So what is it, and if it is (a) then what is the port's name and the pin-outs?

On all 3 of my Gigabyte MZ32-AR0 Rev 1.0 boards if I plug in a Single u.2 to the board it works, but if I plug in a second they both don't show up. Really weird. Checking via BIOS. Using these SlimSAS 4x to U.2 NVMe (SFF-8654 to SFF-8639) cables https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DYK9CW + Molex...

Hi @ all, I'm fairly new to Proxmox and Linux in general and i am trying to upgrade my server with some fancy hardware. I installed the Asus Hyper with four NVMe cards on my Super Micro X12 Mainboard. I am using 4x4x4x4 bifurcation for this setup and created a RAID0 and added it as a storage...
