ikon Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 He did, but I would prefer an explicit statement, just to be sure. Sometimes, small things get missed by not being explicit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickdry Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 sorry I wasn't more precise, that is correct - it is not showing up in Device Manager. Thanks for the info re: iLo only showing HP suported cards, this little server is an interesting beastie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonk Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 No its pci-e 2.0 x2 The card you linked to is x1 as well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 No its pci-e 2.0 x2 Thanks. I obviously missed that. Not that it matters in my case. I'm only using my card to do RoboCopies of my data to my NearLine and OffSite external boxes. The only things that get copied are new and changed files, which doesn't take long. Also, the RoboCopy scripts run 1 after the other, so the full throughput of the card is dedicated to each box while it's being updated. Nevertheless, it's good to know that a x2 card exists.

Shonk Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I was thinking about the bracket earlier And came up with a few things 1) Bottom drive screws dont need to be countersunk as they make no contact with anything 2) The bracket will contact at point circled on the first two images which may vibrate So i decided to go back in today and add 3 layers of 3m vhb so they become the contact point and are ofc cushoned whilst i was there i dug out a propper sata to esata cable and wired the power internally freeing up the internal usb port so i decided to strip the drive out of the Samsung G2 Portable and fit it internally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
