I'm looking for a few things: 1) At least one NVMe add in card for an x16 port, either 4 Mini SAS HD or 4 Occulink. Run is short and at PCIe Gen3 so a redriver is fine. 2) at least 2 short depth LGA2011-3 UP servers capable of supporting at least 2 x16 PCIe cards. CPU/RAM preferable but not...

Hi guys, before I start getting completely off-track, i wanted to ask you for advice regarding the placement of SFF disks in my Supermicro 6028U-TR4+ Server, based on the CSE829U chassis. My current plan is to have the 12 LFF front ports conencted to an HBA, which is then passed to a VM for...
