Okay, so now that my little experiment with a bunch of scam nvme drive from amazon is done and over with and I got my money back from amazon. Where do I look for some cheap and semi decent 4tb nvmes? Adata used to by my goto budget flash memory, never had any problems with any of their drives. But they’re not so inexpensive anymore… Team group seems like they have good prices but how reliable are they?
Is prime day or boxing day even a good time to buy drives?
Is there any 4tb nvme under $300(CAD) even worth looking at?
Again, I’m just farting around and experimenting but any suggestion will be greatly appreciated and win you imaginary internet points from a stranger sitting on a porcelain thrown as he writes this.
That thing looks pretty cool. I think I remember Jeff Geerling video where he did something similar. The concept is cool, but that many NVME drives that close will get HOT without active cooling. The other things is I assume they would saturate the PCIe bus way faster than an x86 mobo.
I’m not hating tho, I’m kinda jealous. I have 3 PI 4s and 2 of them boot off a NVME via USB. The third one has a compute module 1 on it so it has dedicated non-volatile memory. I’ve been thinking about netboot. I use them as a docker swarm.
