So, I think I need to ask you all for some help because being an old-timer from the 2010's and now looking to enhance my storage and disk systems... I am bedazzled by the enormous amount of various options currently available... in such a variety it makes SCSI standards look like a walk in the...

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...

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)...

I got an ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T motherboard and I might want to connect just to extra Intel U.2 5520 drives to it and since I haven't used the Oculink connectors the board has, I was thinking the easiest way might just be to use those. Does anyone have a recommendation for a specific cable to use...

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...

Hey guys, This is my first post here, but someone (I'm sorry, I completely forgot who!) suggested that I try my luck over here as I have been successfully selling via the HomeLabSales on Reddit for a few years now. I'm trying to expand my reach and bring great deals to everybody, and my awesome...

Hi everyone, I have 2 of these Oracle branded Samsung 3.2TB NVMe SSD MZ-WLK3T20 which I salvaged from a Oracle x6-2s server. So tried to install it using the bifurcation NVMe adaptor for U.2 into one of the PCIE 3.0 x8 slots but the system will not post. Tried different slots and same results...

I'm looking to get an M.2 to U.2 SFF-8639 for my two WDS192T1D0D. I've seen a few on Amazon but they have dodgy reviews. What are you guys using that you can recommend?

I'm building a new 2U server with Supermicro X10DRD-iNTP boards and I'm wondering if there are any short Adapter SFF-8643 to U.2 adapter cables below 50cm in the market. Unfortunately, I can't find them. The board has 2 PCI-E 3.0 NVMExpress x4 External Ports nicely close to the case wall where I...

I've recently purchased a Gigabyte MZ72-HBO mobo and there are two U.2 NVMe (#38 & #39 on the board diagram in the user manual) ports attached to the CPU0. Rather naively, I assumed this meant that I could connect a SlimSAS to MiniSAS cable and run the Icy Dock MB720M2K-B 4x M.2 NVMe cage out...

Dear all, is DFM (DirectFlash Module) from Pure Storage with interface U.2 can be detect or opened with Mini SAS HD to U.2? I wish this DFM can be used on my PC as Flash Storage NVMe heuheuheu... Regards, Irfan

Hi all, I have an Lenovo P700 workstation for which I purchased 2x Lenovo 03T8798 as shown here. I just thought I'd prefer a hot swap style of connector. However it requires a sas card with Mini SAS HD connectors. I notice there are plenty of PCIe Mini SAS HD cards such as this one for the...

Hello there, I have an AsRock Rack ROMED6U-2L2T motherboard that has a bunch of Mini Sas HD & Slimsas ports and also four PCIe Gen 4.0 16x slots and given that the Slimas / Slimline ports are supposedly 8i, I thought I might just get two of these cables and be able to hook up two U.2 (Intel DC...

Hello, are there any reasons to prefer SATA TLC SSD over NVMe TLC SSD? I have to replace my storage discs in my PC. One of the HDD in the Storage Spaces Mirror is dying. There is no heavy load on this storage. Manly read access. And mainly archived data. Basically, the data I want to have...

Looking for a 16-lane HBA for TrueNAS to connect 4x x4 U.2 NVMe drives that's: • Inexpensive • Isn't a bottleneck... • FreeBSD compatible (TrueNAS HCL) • Compatible with NON-SuperMicro hardware (Dell PowerEdge or Gigabyte MB) I'd been advised to look at these SuperMicro HBAs, but don't...
