It should work fine as a boot drive if the board supports booting from nvme devices(most that are about 2016 and newer will(and some older boards with bios updates/mods)I'm sad I missed this. Is this a good OS drive? I see that another drive I'm considering (iodrive2) is so old it's not good for booting.
Why would you want to use an ioDrive2 as a boot drive? Can you explain, please. Thanks in advance.I'm sad I missed this. Is this a good OS drive? I see that another drive I'm considering (iodrive2) is so old it's not good for booting.
I used Clover-EFI in the past to boot NVMe drives even with motherboards not supporting booting from these drives. Just worked.It should work fine as a boot drive if the board supports booting from NVMe devices (most that are about 2016 and newer will(and some older boards with bios updates/mods)
I'm pretty ignorant about pcie enterprise ssds, but high endurance, high speed, cheap. Why wouldn't I want to boot from it?Why would you want to use an ioDrive2 as a boot drive? Can you explain, please. Thanks in advance.

There's nothing wrong with booting from it. It's just that many people use smaller/slower/cheaper drives as boot drives since speed/performance is not really important for server boot/OS drives . You'd then use the faster enterprise drives for their actual storage workloads. If you are going to use just one drive for all your storage then you're fine to boot from it.I'm pretty ignorant about pcie enterprise ssds, but high endurance, high speed, cheap.

Where did you get it for that price? I'd like to buy two as well.I bought both for $210 ea, shipped.
Just set an ebay price alert. I've had more luck with 3rd party ebay monitors than ebay themselves - especially to capture things faster just as they are listed.Where did you get it for that price? I'd like to buy two as well.
