- justinclift 3y ago"180-degree USB-C male to male adapter" is a new concept to me. That indeed could open up some options. :) I'd probably go for a case that does larger NVMe drives (2280 or so) instead. Maybe something like this, but there are lots of possibilities: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/hard-drives-&-ssds/enclosures/94611-mb-xcs-cm2 https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/hard-drives-&-ssds/enclo...
- justinclift 3y agoJust don't plan on using them with ZFS or btrfs. Lots of reports of problems with WD NVMe drives on those file systems: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/discussions/14793 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/discussions/14793
- transpute 3y agoOuch, thanks for the pointer. Kioxia/Toshiba (Dell OEM) is another OPAL-optional 2230 NVME SSD.
