It says 2tb limit for SSDs which is odd? Maybe I am misunderstanding that.
I'm interested in hearing what folks who are interested had planned for this. It seems like it would be an overkill pfsense box. Could be a proxmox host for high IO vms but at rh same time kinda limited in terms of storage.
I would guess that's not a hard limit. Maybe they decided to undersell it because many 4TB+ nvme drives are physically larger and/or require heat sinks, so they might not fit. I don't see any details on their web site though.
Given two drives with the same size, same heat output, and same interface, it shouldn't make a difference.
It's pretty common to see fake limits like that on spec sheets. I can definitely put more RAM in my motherboard than is officially supported since higher-capacity DIMMs are out in the same form factor now compared to when the mobo was released.
That is strange that they would have size limit for the SSD. Maybe it only supports single sided M.2 drives, but if that's the case, they should have just said it.
Single-sided drives can be up to 4TB though, no?
The Samsung pro I got is 4TB and single sided.
the pci slot would be able to be used for external storage, like connecting to a nas or das. serve the home found you can add one of these though I don't think they tested that it can hit the max theoretical throughput of 96gbps.
