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.
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
Fewer Letters More Letters NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express interface for mass storage PCIe Peripheral Component Interconnect Express SATA Serial AT Attachment interface for mass storage SSD Solid State Drive mass storage
4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 3 acronyms.

Good bot
Fantastic bot, honestly.
Is your problem that you are bragging about your drives?
I’m out of room to add more drives!
Every one of my servers is basically completely full on disks. I need more servers.
I dont see any issues!
/me hides his 16 4tb 12g SAS drives…
Having a large flash pool really makes your life so much better.
Until you fill up all your space and have to buy more :p
Hopefully that doesn’t happen soon! I don’t have too much room for more flash, lol.
But, I have quite a bit of available space, so, there shouldn’t be any concerns. Also- tomorrow, after a few adapters arrives, I’ll be adding another 2x 1T flash drives my Optiplex 5060 SFF.
What software are you running on all of this?
From https://lemmyonline.com/comment/768355
A bit of everything. Publicly facing websites. Lemmyonline.com. A few popular discord bots.
Linux ISO collection and streaming.
Lots of automation.
Lots of things around software development. Lots of things around systems and network administration.
Some kubernetes too.
A bit of everything, and nothing in particular.
What management interface is that though and is it part of the OS? What OS are you using anyway?
The bottom screenshot, is from proxmox, which is the top-level OS in play.
The first screenshot is of Dells built in system tools for servers. Being a Dell server he should have Dell’s iDRAC, which is a lights out management module. It is really fantastic.
I wasn’t talking about that. I was talking about the second screenshot. Thanks anyway
If that’s a problem then I don’t want to be solved.
Its only a problem when you get the electric bill! (Or the wife finds your ebay receipts)
I doubt these use much power compared to their spinning rust anticedents.
I meant my general electric bill. My server room averages 500-700watts.
The only problem I see is using 8x slots instead of 16x slots for double the storage
Whats the problem?
Each NVMe uses 4 lanes. For each of these x8 slots, they have two NVMes, for a total of 8 lanes.
The x16 slot already has 4x NVMe in it, lol. The other x16 slot has a GPU, which is located in that particular slot due to the lovely 3d-printed fan shroud.
One of the other full-height x8 slots also has a PLX switch, and is loaded with 4 more NVMes.
