I’m in need of a new host nvme drive that can scale up some sql performance, i read that the nvme 7450 MAX is great for this type of work, but i can’t find the nvme version anywhere where i live, they do however have the same version but inside a ssd enclosure as shown here : https://media-www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/images/image-gallery/products-and-technology/ssds/7450-ssd-with-nvme-product-line/7450-group-ordered-vertical-uhd-2000px-v02.jpg?la=en&rev=e83abc7415c849f08a4860e06fddec10&hash=896CAFBC7236F38B1775B396298361B2 (U.3 7mm and U.3 15mm)
Long shot but maybe someone knows, is this just a simple enclosure that can be opened and the nvme can be extracted from the inside or no? I don’t have any U.3 connections available on my super micro board and i need the regular m2 connector.
Depending on the board, you may have a connection available natively. It’s not uncommon for supermicro to have slimSAS connectors on their enterprise boards that support a PCIE mode.
You can also purchase simple (passive) interface adapters for M.2 ports that convert to a number of connectors, such as slimSAS, OcuLink, or Mini-SAS HD ports that can carry a PCIE signal–which are used for U.2 drives through cables with the correct connectors on each end.
…Or you can do the easy thing and just get a different M.2 NVME drive?
