    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

    Is it time for a ghost list? is this another ghost?: Samsung BM1743 61TB

    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...

    U.2 PCIe 5 + SlimSAS = PCIe 5 Speed?

    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?

    ASrock Rack ROMED8-2T - Correct PCIE2 Selection Jumper settings and/or what cables to use OCU1 & OCU2 w/ U.2 Drives

    I must be doing this wrong because no matter how I set the PCIE2 Selection Jumpers for my ROMED8-2T board, I cannot see the two Micron 9300 Pro U.2 drives connected to the two OCU1 & OCU2 connectors on the board using two of these cables: PCIe Gen 4 16 GT/s OCulink (SFF-8611) to U.2 (SFF-8639)...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a specific cable to use...
