These seems to no longer be for sale anywhere. Looking to add a second one to my server if anyone has one new or used.

there seem to be some around - just not cheap.

I knew I should have bought the supermicro version of these when I found them cheap. I didn't need them so I didn't get them.

What Supermicro version are you referring to?

I think it was this part number: CSE-M28SAB | Mobile Racks | Accessories | Super Micro Computer, Inc.

That can't do NVMe.

That's true. This was before the whole U.2 thing, so that doesn't surprise me. Still can't believe how much even they are--prices on this stuff has really jumped.

I'm convinced these are just gone for good. Every place I've found that claims to sell it just vendor ships them and since Intel discontinued them they don't stock them anymore.
