[@stephenackerman5707]

U.2 does have some level of compatibility with NVMe and SAS/SATA in the same form factor. The Dell R6525 can do it if you order it with the NVMe/SAS/SATA backplane. It does, however, not use a unified controller chip like U.3, which seems to be the big difference. The NVMe routes directly to the CPU's PCIe lanes, and the SAS/SATA runs to a separate PERC RAID controller. Not all bays are capable of NVMe, only some of them, but I believe they can all do SAS/SATA. Some quick research says U.3 drives will work in U.2 servers, but U.2-compatible drives will not work in U.3 servers, because of how they changed the pin-outs on the connector.

Video idea: Best M.2 SSD enclosures. It’s so difficult to find small, portable 4TB SSDs and the few that exist are really overpriced. I’ve been trying to figure out the best enclosure and SSD pairing that doesn’t get too hot, is relatively small, has decent throughput, and good reliability. Thank you for your consideration.

[@KingOfTheKindle]

The best one will be one which can just fit 4 1tb SSDs.

[@ifohancroft]

I know this is an older video, but hopefully someone sees this comment and can clarify something for me: So, if I am understanding this right, the idea is that you can get an existing server, plug Broadcom's GBA 9500-16i Tri-Mode Storage Adapter into the PCI-E slot, then connect it to the server's drive bay using cables, then if you get U.3 NVME 2.5" SSDs you can use the server with NVME SSDs even if by itself it is made to use SATA or SAS drives?

[@ardemus]

I'm dubious about the testing benefits. You can do some testing on a platform like this, but unless it's the only target platform, you still have to test it on all of the target platforms, so this would increase the test surface for most purposes, not decrease it.

[@timothywaters4232]

This is also very good for running tiered data storage in one machine. Fast NVMe in 2 of the 8 bays, and slower long term SAS in 6 of the eight. That is where the software raid(z) comes in.

[@Crunkmaster]

kind of odd that this format isn't more popular on the consumer side of things. why have six m.2 slots when you can have three or four m2s and a u3, with probably more capacity in the u3 than all the m2s combined. m2s are only hitting 8tb, when u3s are reaching up to 30 - that's bigger than the biggest hard drives and the only things larger are sata ssds that are only about twice as fast as a standard hdd and are about the same price as a good u3. obviously it'd be expensive but a fair share of the consumer pc market is enthusiasts who would surely jump on these massive capacities at even pci3 speeds, that's a LOT faster than using hard disks for storage

There is a misconception in this video. The U.3 Trimode is indeed faster. Not because the drive side but because the HBA side. The Broadcom 9500 is PCIe-4 rather than PCIe-3 (which was used in the 9400 for U.2), so in principle it can multiplex double amount of U.3 drives before dropping speed. You can't do this with U.2 drives because they are not compatible (cheap converters from U.2 to U.3 already exist, but the whole point is that you need U.3 for doing this)

Being a It pro, this type of content just makes so happy.....inspire the new generation of IT pro's!

Yes, more people need to learn how to abuse hardware just like Linus, so we "IT Pros" won't ever run out of work.

Like USB4. Forward & Backward Compatibility. Got Your USB & ThunderBolt & DisplayPort & PCIe

The voice crack at the 2 minute mark was my favorite "slot"

Looking forward to eventually getting 100TB+ 3.5" QLC U.3 drives

I used to own a boutique cloud hosting company - we had racks of 1RU SuperMicro servers, in our datacentre. Imagine the noise, hey....

U.3 is the equivalent of usb type c , easy sum up all, and is so cool :D

Love these mist lenses from the 50's that you are using to show that 12k sharpness /s
