u.2

Hey all - First time selling on here, so hopefully I'm doing it right. Consolidating/Upgrading the garage rack to buy some AI hardware (work has substantially changed my job recently) so I'm selling a bunch of stuff. Everything is currently fully functional and running active workloads. SSDs...

Hi, Dell's 5820 and 7820 workstations have connectors labelled PCIE0 and PCIE1 on the motherboard, which are typically used to connect/convert two of the 3.5" SATA bays to U.2 or M.2. Question: Is it known whether these ports carry a standard signal with a standard pinout, or is it something...

Hi, Some Dell workstations like the Precision 5820/7820/7920 (based on Skylake/Cascade Lake) can be configured such that some of the HDD/SSD bays are connected to PCIe ports and support M.2/U.2 SSDs (in hotplug-style trays/carriers). Question: Are these U.2 bays then also "automatically"...

Hello, I have 4x Intel d7-p5510 U.2 ssds and l want to connect them to my AsRock Romed8-2t motherboard which has gen4 pcie x16 slots and 2x Oculink connectors. Would prefer to keep the ssds in one bundle i.e pcie adapter, but would settle for other options if there is no such reliable adapter...

This looks like the adapter that came with the U.2 Intel Optane drives to let you use them in an M.2 slot. These are probably better than the random adapters from amazon and ebay. Part number: J15713-001 Amphenol Ebay link

Taking into account that these things get very hot and demand enterprise class air cooling and since some have already used U.2 in workstation cases / non-rack set ups: @Ezy you are using it with a SAGE, how do you cool the U.2s? @Venturi you have this interesting set up, I see a fan behind...

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...

If I plug a PCIe 5 U.2/U.3 NVMe via SlimSAS to the Motherboard does it then operate at PCIe 5 speed, or does SlimSAS somehow just support PCIe 5 i.e. make it work, but not run at the PCIe 5 speed?

Good Morning I have a few Cisco C220 M4 8-Bay servers that I am trying to get a U.2 NVME drives working on. I have been able to update the BIOS, but have had no luck with getting a 10GTek SFF 8643 PCIe card to be recognized by the machine. I am using the Rev A riser and have tried both slots...

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...

Hello, what will be the better option to connect U.2 / U.3 NVMe 2.5" SSD to a PCIe slot in a PC? The PC does not have U.2 / U.3 or M.2 connectors. Using PCIe adapter card providing U.2 / U.3 connector e.g. something like this PCIe NVMe adapter card, PCIe to NVMe expansion card, PCIe to...

While actively searching for a larger amount of SSDs larger or equal to 4TB, I received an offer from a Chinese contact for Samsung 1723a or MZWLL3T8HMJP-000G7. I never heard about PM1723's but 1725's. I'm also unable to collect any usable information about these drives. Has anyone ever heard...

Hello all, I am building a new (and very first) server machine, so I am learning a lot over time. I recently picked a Supermicro H12SSL-i motherboard w/ EPYC Rome (2nd gen) CPU. I also bought 3 x U.2 SSD (Intel P4510). My goal is to use these 3 SSD for ZFS setup in Proxmox. I am trying to...

Hello everyone, I just got an Intel S2600WT (WTTR) based server and am missing only storage to set it up and running. I am searching for the best speed option for storage so I was looking into how to setup m.2 Nvme SSD (no raid needed). No m.2 ports on board, I have 2 PCIe riser cards with 5...
