Thanks Larry.
The issue is the support for 8TB SSD drives.
After a bit of googling I saw several messages about older chipsets such as Marvell not support drives larger than 4TB. Newer HBA cards have either ASMedia or JMicron chipsets.
I found this card (Delock 90431 with JMicron JMB582...
Hi,
I need more SATA ports on my Gigabyte Z390 MASTER motherboard running Windows 10.
The only free slots are the PCIe 3.0 x1 slots (i.e. single PCIe lane).
Any recommendations for a reliable PCIe 3.0 x1 SATA 6Gbps HBA card with 2 SATA ports?
I don't need RAID, but the card needs to support...
Just want to share my experience:
I had my Gigabyte Z390 MASTER with i9-9900K up and running for some months (at stock speeds with bios F6).
Now I added the GC-TITAN RIDGE PCIe x4 card in order to have dual Thunderbolt 3 ports. The card is installed in the bottom x4 slot, which is served from...
In my opinion, you need a "mobile rack".
I use the following, which I built into my tower case:

This has a on/off switch. I keep the drives powered off and only power on to take backups. Both backup drives run at full SATA3...
I didn't do any calculations. I wanted a PSU with a zero-rpm fan below 300watts consumption, i.e. completely silent.
Furthermore the fan of the ax1600i can be controlled via software ( you can setup different profiles). As an added bonus the power efficiency is around 93%.
Thanks AG!
Yes, the rear case fan is indeed connected to one of the mobo headers and can be controlled via the Bios (Q-Fan) based on temps. I have to test some more to see how well the custom profiles work. Finally I could also connect the fan to the Corsair Commander Pro, which supposedly...
Just finished a new build to replace my old PC from 2014 (Asus Z87 Gryphon):
Fractal Design Define R6 USB-C case

- Gigabyte Z390 Master motherboard (F6 Bios)
- Intel i9-9900K 9th Gen 8-core CPU
- Corsair AIO H115i Pro RGB water cooler 280mm (Front mounted, Pull config: 2...
An Intel Optane 900p prosumer drive with capacities up to 1500GB and form factor AIC and U.2 seems to be in the works:

Asus has several:

I have no personal experience with any of the above.

No point in that, since M500 is not the fastest drive out there.
But, as been said several times already, this drive is not slow (just not the fastest) and serves a different need (namely single large-capacity drive at an extremely attractive price point).
TheReg is/has been very much alive. I read them practically every day - their spin is always entertaining!
I must say I was surprised by this roadmap. Is Intel speeding up their launch schedule? Especially Atoms?
Look at this:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/10/intel_server_chip_preview_idf_beijing/
Strictly in my opinion, the current Intel Atom processors are not powerful enough for a 10gigE NAS. i3 consumes too much power.
But according to this article more powerful Atoms are in the pipeline...
