• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    And here I imagined you dutifully shutting down your PC every day for the past 51 years... 😁

    WD_BLACK SN850x NVMe SSD 8TB

    The sequential numbers are pretty close to spec for the drive. The random 4k Q32T1 is 250k IOPS, below what the drive can do, but pretty good for a single thread (this test is CPU bound). Probably need to get to at least 4 threads to start maxing out random read. Random 4k Q1T1 looks good.

    Tri-Mode (SAS9400, SAS9500, SAS9600) Broadcom/LSI SAS HBA's? Anyone have experience?

    I'm guessing it's for compatibility with existing/legacy infrastructure that is built around SAS/SATA tooling and asking their customers to move to NVMe tooling is too disruptive.

    Out of date and need some SSD advice

    If reliability is the top concern, I would order the oldest drive I can find from a reputable supplier and make sure I have the latest FW. Basically, a drive where everyone else found the bugs already.

    Tri-Mode (SAS9400, SAS9500, SAS9600) Broadcom/LSI SAS HBA's? Anyone have experience?

    1.) Based on the description it sounds like you can mix SATA, SAS and NMVe drives on them? Is that accurate? At the same time? I have never tried this. I only have experience with NVMe. 2.) They have some sort of large wide, but slim port on them. Is this the same as the so-called "slimsas"...
