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.
Ive been interested in this, but i havnt figured out if my motherboard supports bifurcation. I have an AORUS B450 i mini itx, so just the 1 PCIe slot (gree as i use an APU 4650G ). Is bifurcation more of a premium feature for more expensive boards?
I believe it’s much more common places these days.
Although, of the… 10 or so computers I have laying around my house, only two of them supports bifurcation… although, most of my computers are a decade old.
