Did you find some good deals for 2.5" cisco caddies?

 

[mrpasc]

The seller offers 8 for 39£ + shipping.
I considered it fair and pulled the trigger…

Bitte entschuldigen Sie die Störung...

 

[nexox]

Does anyone happen to know if earlier Cisco M3 or M4 2.5" caddies are compatible with M5 systems?

 

[mrpasc]

I know they are not compatible. If you use SATA SSDs you can try to put them in whiteout tray.
Don’t do this with HDDs or SAS SSDs. They will damage your backplane as to heavy.

 

[michel333]

Anybody knows if this will work with 2.5 " nvme ssd? I mean if we can install it in one of the 24 front 2.5" bay?

 

[ano]

it looks like they might have an option for it, reading manual, I have yet to receie my units

 

[michel333]

Or maybe the two rear bays, are they compatible with name U2? I guess should be possible with some cables!

 

[Cruzader]

UCSC-C240-M5SX: Drive bays 1 and 2 support NVMe PCIe SSDs. All bays support SAS/SATA drives

Bay 1+2 on front should be nvme.
Maybe the rear 2 also but not sure if they are specced for it.

 

[ano]

have any of yours shipped yet?

 

[Cruzader]

Mine are at "Shipped from Shipping Center to International Destination"

If still listed as not received on ebay see if you got a pulldown meny with more tracking numbers.

 

[ano]

Package not received by Hub or First Mile Carrier yet

 

[Cruzader]

First tracking they put for me just to have it listed as shipped for eBay brownie points say the same.
Got 4 other numbers that show first movements 16th/17th.


The shipment with 8 rails is loaded onto the aircraft on its way to Norway so will be here a bit earlier.
Looks like the servers are freight/road so probably almost 2weeks.

my dpd trackking nr shows as deliverd the 17th, guessing thats to the ebay center, the other tracking I cannot get anything info

 

[mrpasc]

Bay 1+2 on front should be nvme.
Maybe the rear 2 also but not sure if they are specced for it.

I am afraid they are not NVME ready „out of box“.
To use the (either only front or front and back) slots with NVME there is riser 2 needed and a cable. According to description in auction they come just with raiser 1.

Same here. Edit: whilst typing changed to „customs declaration and labelling“

 

[michel333]

I was looking for riser 2 , but they are expensive, like 150-190 euros for riser2... that's more than the price of the serveur!
