About 12-14W. I'm only using one of the 10GbE ports for now though.What's idle power on one of those like?

Thanks! In your testing did you ever find or were able to run 4x drives (w\out 10gig) by chance?About 12-14W. I'm only using one of the 10GbE ports for now though.
No, but I guess you could put something in the A/E key m.2 slot, that should work fine?Thanks! In your testing did you ever find or were able to run 4x drives (w\out 10gig) by chance?
Can't advise because I've not tried, I'm afraid. The P350 service manual is usually a good source of part numbers if you don't feel like wading through Lenovo's spares list - maybe check there.I'm pulling my hair out here.- has anyone gotten a Thunderbolt card working in a P350 Tiny? I've got the right riser (...876) and a 5C50W00926 Thunderbolt card. The wiring fits well but I'm thinking this card may be incompatible with this Tiny version. Lenovo's site shows the FRU for the P350 as 5C51H31592 by Bitwise but that seems unavailable anywhere.
My M720Q running ESXi is equipped with an esata card + a 4 bays eSATA/usb3 Icy Box IB-3640SU3, but an SFF will be cheaper for sure.
eSATA mini-PCIe card?My M720Q running ESXi is equipped with an esata card + a 4 bays eSATA/usb3 Icy Box IB-3640SU3, but an SFF will be cheaper for sure.
well, sort of, a mini-PCIe to PCIe adapter in a modified case. But 4 (or more) bays enclosures are expensive, not sure it's worth it for a backup machine. Mine was built for running Proxmox and now ESXi, wanted to give a try to openwrt and OMV VMs instead of a baremetal NAS + router.eSATA mini-PCIe card?
Thanks, that's all good info and a pain point for many recently. I'll add the info shortly.@Parallax for the initial post it's worth noting each series seems to have its own Thunderbolt card.
P340 changes to 5C50W00872
P350 uses only 5C51D95673 or 5C51H31592 (it's yet unclear what the difference is but Im guessing one comes with the cables and one naked)
P360 uses 5C51H31593 - unclear if any compatibility between the P350 FRU.
Both P350 and P360 have some kind of external loopback cable too from one displayport to another in addition to the two internal cables to the motherboard.
The 5C50W00872 is not compatible with a P350 or P360. Though interestingly the P350 and P360 say the x16 riser is compatible with the new Thunderbolt card despite it being still a x4 PCIe card.
How did you end up finding this out? I cant seem to find the block diagram for the M90q. Just bought a few of these for a low powered proxmox/ceph cluster and would be really disappointed that this is the case.I have discovered that the M90Q x8 PCIE connector is also wired to the PCH...
There is no difference between those two, the P330, on the other hand, has a second NVMe slot, but it is more difficult to find in used condition.Sort of a dumb question (sorry) but, for running a bare-metal OPNsense firewall, is there much difference between a M720q and a M920q (with a PCIe 2 or 4-port card)?
I guess B360 vs. Q370 chipsets and the latter having vPro (which I don't really care about I guess?) but is there any practical/significant difference for what I'm trying to do?
Looking at buying one of these little guys from eBay so wanted to make sure both will be good enough/plenty for my needs.
One needs to solve HBA cooling issue , also limited by size of tiny.are there technical reasons why I shouldn't do this?
