    Looking for advice on NVMe (U.2) adapters

    I'm looking for some advice on reliable solutions for connecting two U.2 NVMe drives (one of which is an Optane 905p) to a PCIe Gen 5.0 slot running at x8. My goal is to minimize latency, but I am not sure if that's a concern at all with these cards. A friend of mine had a similar setup but...

    Hi all - I am in the process of building a new server for my Unraid setup which will include two 1.6TB Intel Optane 905P's. Worth noting I will be essentially moving my existing array setup onto new hardware so the base array will stay as-is. For the array as it sits I am using the standard...
