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.
I think I’m at 7x 18tb drives. I’m slowly replacing all the smaller 8tb disks in my server. Only 5 more to go. After that it’s a new server with more bays and/or a jbod shelf.
That’s my next step. I have 8 8tb drives I need to start swapping, 2x512 NVMEs for system/app cache, and 1 2tb NVME for media cache.
the SAS drives are all SSD, I also have 8x 12tb in rust, and an LTO robot though its not currently in service.
