Kind of a bummer that the HDD activity on the mPCIe card doesn't report out to the activity LED on the front panel. I feel like further hacks may need to be considered here for that. @ExplodingLemur You can also get 4TB QVO SSDs in 7mm SFF, but I wasn't real thrilled to drop $250 on an SSD for this tomfoolery. @ExplodingLemur I'm paying $110-$160 a piece for these 2TB M.2s I'm playing with. @kwf @ExplodingLemur from the eBay listing you posted the other day, it looked like these 2T SSDs are used pulls from other gear, yes? @kwf TBH other than the white silicone, I’d probably accept that as “factory stock” if I just glanced at it. (With a black mechanical blob holding the SATA cable in place, it’d just look like a “chip on board” setup.) Someone should persuade Chinese factories to make M.2 male to SATA cable (omitting the socket) for this “low profile” use case; there are already far weirder A to B options available from China…. 🤔 |
I just.... it's... it's magnificent... 😍
