I got all my stuff in today except for my drive enclosures those will be here tomorrow, same as the others bios/bmc/sas controller were outta date updated easily to the latest.
I updated the BMC first via the gui, then the BIOS, followed by the SAS controller (it was in IT mode already).
Running memtest now but seems solid, I booted a blank unraid install and it showed both NVME, yay.
Any recommendations on confirming the speed its operating at and/or whether the bifurcation is working? Or is the fact both cards are showing proof it is?
Showing full read speeds on both at least:
Code:
/dev/nvme0n1:
Timing cached reads: 23306 MB in 1.99 seconds = 11721.12 MB/sec
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Timing buffered disk reads: 7738 MB in 3.00 seconds = 2579.30 MB/sec
