nvme

Hello Everyone on this amazing forum. I cannot thank you enough for all the help I've already gotten from this truly fantastic community, but I do need a little bit more help finding the correct hardware for my needs. I've gone away from the idea of making a combined workstation/nas/leisure...

Hey guys, first timer here but have been lurking for a while. I'm hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on NVMe drive compatibilty with the m.2 slot. My board (X10SDV-4C-TLN2F) fails to detect both my 970 EVO and a Transcend 220S drive. In BIOS I put the m.2 oprom in EFI mode...

Hi, I've been trying to get a RAID array created on the dual M2 NVMe drives installed on my X11SCH-L4NF mb, but it appears this is not possible on these boards (a bit late now I've got it sat in my lab!). Has anyone had similar experience with SM RAID, and my second question would be why do...

https://www.newegg.com/seagate-nytro-1920gb/p/0D9-0032-00028 These are datacenter-grade 22110 nvme with power loss protection. Why are they so cheap, where's the catch?

I'd love some thoughts on what is the better ESXi 7.0 boot drive, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus or WD SN750, both @ 500 GB. Specs seem quite similar and just prefer to toss the matter out to the pros (which I am NOT). Please let me know - after review of my constraints - if I'm completely barking up...

I'm interested in building a storage server and using a few AOC-SLG3-4E4R / AOC-SLG3-2E4R cards to connect to a bunch of NVMe drives. Per this Supermicro page, AOC-SLG3-4E4R, AOC-SLG3-2E4R (and all the other cards without a PCIe switch) require a mux for more than one card on same PCIe bus...

I bought a brand new SanDisk ioMemory 3.2TB SX350 on eBay recently for less than 350EUR and had the chance to work with and test it for some time now as storage for VM's and databases. I'm totally happy, if not super happy, with the performance and how it works out in Proxmox and I'm therefore...

Hello. I have a server based around a SuperMicro X9DRi-F. Sad story about it is that the motherboard lets you bifurcate the lanes in the BIOS, but SuperMicro support says that just because the BIOS lets you do it, doesn't mean it works (they recommended the X10 or newer). I have a couple of the...

I have a Thin Client T630 which I want to use as a web server, so I was wondering what ssd to buy for it. Does it support NVMe or is it only SATA? Is there a way to find out before buying one?

How do the servers like this 7232P https://www.thinkmate.co/system/rax-qn24-12e2 with 24x NVME(each is 4x pci) and 1 CPU, connect the drives to the CPU? Do they use some kind of breakout boards for nvme? It it possible to assembly DIY >16 disk all-nvme storage right now and what cards may i need...

Hello all, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions/recommendations on some 4tb NVME SSDs. I'm a graphic designer by trade and plan on using my computer for profession/business use. I often deal with very large file sizes and intensive workloads, so I need something that is realible and...

BIOS doesn’t show any RAID option. So, is it a “software only” option? Why did they miss EPYC? (as THREADRIPPER has an option)

Hi, I'm sure I'm not the only who is looking for such a solution: I'm looking to purchase 4 U.2 drives and hook them into a Threadripper based motherboard (I didn't buy any motherboard yet, still planning). Surprisingly, the only card I found is the Supermicro AOC-SLG3-4E4R (and the 4E4T...

Hi, Looking to buy another SuperMicro AOC-SLG3-2E4, since I just bought two extra u.2 drives. If you have one lying around and are willing to sell it cheapish - PM me. Thanks

First post here, so here it goes. I'm building my first home server this week, mostly for Plex. I've built many PCs but never a server grade machine. So, my options for W10 OS install is my 64GB Satadom or Toshiba 1TB m.2 NVMe. Is there an easier one to load onto via Rufus (USB)? Do I need...

I'm looking to build/buy a high-performance NVMe storage server for virtualization purposes. I need a server with at least 8 hot-swappable nvme (or with storage, adaptable to nvme drives, u.2 maybe?) that does not break the bank(prefferably, under $10K without the drives) Plain nvme...

Hi, We are planning a new virtualization deployment for a customer. Virtualization hosts will be VMware 6.7 and storage array will be a shiny new Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 which has an Intel P4600 NVMe 2TB (fixed configuraton from our provider, I can't chage that). I'm planning to make 2...

Will NVMe M.2 form factor SSDs placed in an U.2 2.5" enclosure perform similar to their U.2 counter parts? And can they be used with the Supermicro's NVMe server lineup? Any enclosure recommendations?

In my fallback server I have a Samsung 970 evo disk that reports the following: root@lair ~]# smartctl -a /dev/nvme0 smartctl 7.0 2018-12-30 r4883 [x86_64-linux-3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-18, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF...

Left over from projects, I've put together 4x nuc's (2x i7s and 2x i5s) that have been used as basic desktops. I'm throwing in an used S7 and Note 10.1 tablet as well as 16GB Intel optane. I have slightly different specs for the i7s ram/SSD. All Nuc's have windows 10pro installed but not setup...
