NVMe for E3C236D2I

[casperghst42]

Hi,

To save a bit of money (reuse of cpu) I decided to to got for an E3C236D2I for my downscale nas box (fewer bigger drives).

And now need to decide about the NVMe - the MB can only take an M.2. 2230 and that limits the selection a "bit". But I've seen that one can get converter boards/cables like this one: P12S-P12F (M.2 Extender Board) (or similar), but have not been able to find much about quality/stability.

Also anyone know of providers of such an extender which is sourceable in Europe ?

Thanks,

Why not an M.2 to U.2 adapter plus a U.2 or U.3 disk? Should be easier to mount everything in place.

I've been looking but I've not been able to find an M.2 to U2 adapter in 2230, the ones I've been able to find are 2243 or 2280.
