The local sync is going to be harder... 😁
And I am also doing tests on Ubuntu 23.10...
Also after I had already the results, the 990 PRO started some performance problems (simply would "turn off" out of nothing) that might change results with this new firmware.
Samsungs been having some fun with their recent drives(980 PROs had the issue where they killed themselves), but I still use them very heavily(just bought like 10TB worth of 980 pros this month lol).
I was running in a Sabrent rocket. Definitely one of the more pretty drives I’ve seen.
Yeah, but they sort out them with new firmwares. Eventually... its the only way to flood the market and get market share. Good for us, because they get cheaper with people complaining. 😜
I am looking at the market players a lot lately, and feeling very tempted to try these 7 series memblaze crazzyness almost 3 million IOPs and all the enterprise style features. Expensive but still very attractive against others, especially for one of the lowest latencies when comparing with others.
7 series memblaze? Wtf even is that lol. I’m just excited for more gen 5 drives.

Ohhh nice, they support U.2, though I don't own anything that can do PCIE5 U.2, probably can use an adapter on a PCIE slot. I can't find it for sale anywhere though, got a link by chance, wanna see pricing?
They might only sell by channels (partners, like normally enterprise stuff does) - contacting them directly might let you know a possible partner with would re-sell through. I haven't looked hard enough yet because I want to ask a colleague that is from china once I get back to work. If he does not find me something quick, then I will try to contact them directly to check.
But you might find some 5/6 series like these around, just to have an idea of prices... but I think this is without warranty and/or support. And the risk is quite high... at least from my view.

LMK if you get any useful info from either your coworker or from the company!
Yep, should be possible for NVMe (only) devices behind U.2... SAS or SATA you will need a controller. The beauty of NVMe is this simplicity.
Awesome!
