Thanks for your answers so far I just wanted to check if you had any idea what expanders work for nvme drives as I can’t find the required info in the documentation

thanks for your help!

Would this one work? https://www.tp-link.com/uk/business-networking/managed-switch/tl-sx3008f/

Ok so I would just get Intel® SAS3 Expander RES3TV360 and connect it to some other form of power and be good to go mount it safely on the case back panel and be ready to go. Can that also support any nvmes but with the right cables and while I'm at it I have two x1 slots in my motherboard and bought these for them https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08J2PK1HF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Thank you for this advice I'm going to look into these, I see one of them says it requires x8 slot but I've also heard that some expanders don't need to actually be connected to be physically connected to a pcie slot to work. I dont have any spare pcie slots at the moment and would need to remove my gpu to make space

I tried to connect directly to the computer before without that switch before and I'm not sure what I did wrong but couldn't get it working, however since my current switch won't support what I'm trying to do I guess I can't lose by adding all the ports into one bridge? Any advice on how I do that? I think the direct connection require certain settings on the computers whereas the switch kinda just works

I plan to get this network card with 2 10gbe ports https://www.misco.co.uk/product/Networking/Network-Adapters/StarTech-com/StarTech-com-2-Port-10Gbps-PCIe-Network-Adapter-Ca?prodid=8223728 I would like to connect it to this switch that I have https://www.scan.co.uk/products/5-port-tp-link-tl-sx105-10g-multi-gigabit-desktop-switch-5x-100-1g-25g-5g-10g-fanless-plug-and-play?_gl=1*lhgmxd*_ga*MTc2MTM3MTM5OC4xNzA1ODk5NDc3*_ga_8GFH5M08Q5*MTcwODYwNDI0OC41Ny4xLjE3MDg2MDQ2MzQuNjAuMC4w I would like to be able to run two lanes of 10gbe between the server and the switch to provide more bandwidth to the computers connected to the switch? Also one last bit to add, I have two 1gbe ports on my motherboard built in, would it be possible to use those as fail safes and the twin 10gbes as separate lanes to increase bandwidth

yes I would like to use more than 8 devices and could I also connect nvme to the expander?

Hi im trying to change presets to work with Automatic Video Conversion and also set up more than one watch folder, how do I do this any step by step options for it.

Hi I bought the Broadcom 9400-8i and I keep hearing about needing an expander but cant find any concrete information on what expanders I should be looking at to work and is it possible to use hdds and nvmes at the same time if someone could help me?

any particluar models so I can search for some

Hello I have the 9400 8i card and I’m looking to expand drives beyond the breakout cables, any advice on what expanders or how to do it
