EXPIRED Intel 8x2.5" NVMe backplane - $50

I briefly searched and didn't find any details, but there are clearly 8 OCuLink ports on this (plus the usual SAS,) and Intel backplanes are generally pretty easy to use with other generic hardware.

This may be interchangeable with the older Intel SATA/SAS drive bays, providing for a nice upgrade !

If only they were supermicro compatible (thinking 74x series specifically)... Supermicro makes a 'sorta' 8 bay UBM backplane, but only 4 of em are NVME capable unfortunately
