I have a bunch of unused M.2 drives from decommissioned servers that I'd love to use as additional storage.
- zamadatix 3y agoI started with this page for adapters people had tried and recommended here https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/multi-nvme-m-2-u-2-adapters-that-do-not-require-bifurcation.31172/ https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/multi-nvme... but I think I ultimately went with the LinkReal x8 to quad. If you don't specifically want the high per core performance of something like a 13900k a used/old Threadripper or Epyc system and bifurcation might make more sense. It'll also enable you to get maximum per drive bandwidth, if that's a concern for your (when you have 12 drives in some form of stripe and parity the per drive bandwidth ends up not being that important for most sane workloads though).
