Where does one find the t processors? I see you have an 8700t and I’m interested in finding one. 

I bought it from Amazon (US) but shipped from a different seller in Korea.  Shipping was about $31 so I had to pay higher than MSRP.  However, I did get the non Engineering Sample so I'm happy with it.  😃

[pci-e ssd card FusionIO2]

This would be great to add!  I've been sitting on two FusionIO PX600 cards for a year from an old server build but they don't appear as drives when I installed them.  Although they may be a little older and not nvme standard, they run well and are still very fast and much better than sata ssd's.

 

Many times they can be found on ebay for a good price.  For people who don't have heavy storage capacity needs, these cards are a godsend if they can be used as drives in the disk array.  Great speed, capacity, price, and even better, no power/sata cables!

 

I truly hope this gets implemented.  There are a number of posts I find from users asking about these cards through a simple Google search.  It was always a dead end and they eventually give up.  A little disheartening considering the potential of these cards.
