Getting 6 DIMM's on the mATX boards is nice

From their presentation yesterday I was pleased to see the 20x slim hot-swap NVMe in 1U servers (Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 1029UZ-TN20R25M) and look forward to that type of chassis being more common - in particular having the NVMe direct-attached w/o PCIe switch(es) in the mix.

25G options on some of the motherboards and 100G (as EDR IB or Omnipath) in the new super blades are quite nice as well.

What I like about Supermicro is that they deliver high-quality products, but without all of the "Enterprise issues"; No extortion fees for IPMI, works with any spec-compliant 3rd party hardware.

The total lineup is really great engineering work.
Yesterday i had a look at the new FatTwins and wondered how exactly 4x NVMe is done with the F629P3-RC0B and F629P3-RC1B as the 6-Port front backplane stayed nearly the same like on the F628 SKU's (it's now BPN-SAS3-F424-A6 and was BPN-SAS-F424-A6, not sure if there's a real difference).

Only the rear Backplane changed to BPN-SAS3-F424-A2N2A, that is obviously capable of handling SAS/SATA or NVMe.

Today it shows "+ 2 opt. NVMe" for the 4-Node SKU's, so that was obviously an error that is corrected now.
(google cache from yesterday still shows x4 NVMe)

Wonder if there will be an upgrade-path to new Board / Backplane for the F628 units, what would be nice.
