I can’t say for sure- but, there is a good chance I might have a problem.

The main picture attached to this post, is a pair of dual bifurcation cards, each with a pair of Samsung PM963 1T enterprise NVMes.

It is going into my r730XD. Which… is getting pretty full. This will fill up the last empty PCIe slots.

But, knock on wood, My r730XD supports bifurcation! LOTS of Bifurcation.

As a result, it now has more HDDs, and NVMes then I can count.

What’s the problem you ask? Well. That is just one of the many servers I have laying around here, all completely filled with NVMe and SATA SSDs…

Figured I would share. Seeing a bunch of SSDs is always a pretty sight.

And- as of two hours ago, my particular lemmy instance was migrated to these new NVMes completely transparently too.

    Having a large flash pool really makes your life so much better.

    Until you fill up all your space and have to buy more :p

      Hopefully that doesn’t happen soon! I don’t have too much room for more flash, lol.

      But, I have quite a bit of available space, so, there shouldn’t be any concerns. Also- tomorrow, after a few adapters arrives, I’ll be adding another 2x 1T flash drives my Optiplex 5060 SFF.
