Jason 84 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Great. I've seen these advertised with that card. Not sure whether two of them would fit on that card or are even necessary? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDDKDNN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3F3TWMW51FQC7&psc=1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Lycom DT-130 has arrived, wish me luck. Good luck. Anxious to hear whether both NVMe drives are recognized in that card and able to boot from one of them. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites

Its the chip on the card itself that gets really hot, the only reason my two have heatsinks is because they came out of a compact HP EliteDesk PC which was having issues with the drives overheating and I see no reason to take them off now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GarethC 29 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 7 VMs running 24x7 and the Samsung drives are operating around 50/51c which I'm happy with, will get some power usage stats tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Awesome! That’s a lot of VMs. Only have 3. What all are they running? Link to post Share on other sites
GarethC 29 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 2 x Domain Controllers for my 'Live' environment. 2 x Domain Controllers for my 'Test' environment. iTunes Server CCTV SCCM (or MECM as its referred to now) Link to post Share on other sites
GarethC 29 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 I've run some tests again this morning and the highest I saw it hit was around 118w so I'm really happy, the NVMe storage is obviously way quicker too. Link to post Share on other sites
