You could tightly wrap both power cables from the NVMe PCB to the motherboard in electrical tape, which would simplify and strengthen that connection.

Did you eventually get into the BIOS to see if there were any settings for the M.2? Did you try some firmware updates too?

Hi :) I have watched your videos over time and am also a user of Xpenology. I'm really stuck on something that others in the Xpenology community have not an answer for. I'm hoping we may be able to e-mail on this topic and resolve it if you have the knowledge? I have a supermicro server board (Xeon-D) with 6 onboard SATA Ports, 6 onboard USB Ports, and I use a LSI 9211-8i HBA (IT mode). I cannot get DSM to see all of my HBA ports if I have the SATA ports active. I'm playing with the MaxDisks, Internalportcfg, USBcfg, esatacfg and haven't resolved it (great to revise hex to binary conversion though lol). Have you any ideas? :)

Uhh I have not messed with this for quite a while,,,, maybe the LSI 9211-8i is too new :-? I can see that I used the 9207-8e.. I have no idea,, just something.

More like even if there is software RAin on that card ESXi will not use it and recognize those drivers as separate. Or in Bios there is RAID configuration that is not configured. also documentations says that it should work with nvme The SR650 V2 supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA or NVMe drives for use as an operating system boot solution or as additional storage. 4Y37A09739 B5XH ThinkSystem M.2 SATA 2-Bay RAID Enablement Kit Yes No Yes 1 4Y37A09750 B8P9 ThinkSystem M.2 NVMe 2-Bay RAID Enablement Kit No Yes Yes 1 4Y37A09738 B5XJ ThinkSystem M.2 SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Enablement Kit Yes Yes VROC 1

@@MyPlayHouse so probably 4Y37A09739 B5XH Maybe samsung OEM SSD like PM series would work better. Plenty of those used on the internet. Lenovo in fact uses those drivers for that adapter or micron for example MTFDDAV240TGA-1BC1ZABYYR Micron 5400 PRO 240GB M.2 2280 SATA 6Gb/s personally i prefer USB in SSD format from aliexpress. Works great with ESXi :)

@@MyPlayHouse zen5 is 30% jump - forward guidance, here in 4 mos, wide avail in 6 so something to think about - 13 to 14th gen intel only jumped 10% so this could be very positive for amd, pci-e v6 will be here in 30 mos - maybe amd puts out a mi300 for prosumers/ws? we have to wait and see but it is plausible and would give them a worthy pci add in card to battle nvidia - we have gone from 100 tflop ws and are looking at much much more soonish - could be a good addition to the bunker? #iaas paas saas faas this content was good in just for the fact that going to nvme is smart and wise choice given the massive price drops - it used to be get a sata ssd instead of spinning rust and now it is clearly goto nvme - expect bigger capacities going forward

I installed the m.2 enablement kit in the ST550 with non Lenovo Server SSD's (Lenovo Laptop M.2 SSD's) and worked. Its pretty much the same process as for a raid controller for normal drives. Before doing any software install, I went into the machine via Xclarity Admin and set them as raid 0 (It didnt do it automatically). Also doubt that the logic on the PSU cares if its Titanium or Platinum

I would recement you a new friend,, that one has bad taste in server brands :-) The HPE DL380 Gen10 is a good swiss knife of a server,, they are still a bit expensive : www.bargainhardware.co.uk/refurbished-servers/hp-2u/hp-proliant-dl380-gen10? They will only become cheaper.

I think the M.2 drives failed bacause theres no super capaciator that charges the cache after power loss, enterprise drives from other brands should work if they also have the cap. Also for the trays, Lenovo 3.5 drives trays are like that, you have to line them up very straight when install screws, otherwise they won't work well, theres no fake drive caddies as they are not cheape to make, and the market has a lot of them around.

That thing with SSDs happend to by PowerEdge R720 too. But with difference that my SSDs were 2,5" SATA, not M.2. They didn´t wanted to stay in raid after I rebooted the server and it said something with fatal failure or something. This same happend to SSDs ADATA SU650. Interestingly enough ADATA SU800 (Blue ones) are absolutely fine. You should try to buy some Samsung SSDs. They should work in any server just fine

WHY do you keep calling them "NO NAME" SSDs????? They are from WESTERN DIGITAL ... you can tell by the HUGE 'WD' on the FRONT of the box LOL - You do know who Western Digital is, right? Are they a low-end brand where you live? They are at the same level of quality as Seagate here in the3 US, well as far as I'm concerned. I've NEVER heard of them being refereed to as 'no-name' before... then again, you are the only person from one of the 'Nordic' countries that I've watched videos from.... so maybe I'm missing something... LOL :)

ohhhhhh SORRY :) You mean WD's 'Green" line of drives.... yea they are the lowest quality... the 'Blue' line is a step up from Green.... but 'Black' is their highest quality/speed before you get into the "enthusiast" / -"high-end" line of drives ... but of course you know that price will get out of control once you start going for higher stuff than the 'Black' line of drives... that's what I would have went with personally, except for if the drives were crazy cheap,.... then I wouldn't care LOL - okay, I'll be quiet now :P
