papnikol Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi everybody i need to by a new Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 sata expansion card and i found this in amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-AOC-SASLP-MV8-with-CDR-Bracket/dp/B002KGLDXU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298261200&sr=8-1 Unfortunately it does not state if it is has a low or high profile bracket coming with it. i 've noticed that 3 out of 4 reviewers are mentioning their unraid server so i am hoping that someone can give me this little piece of info.... Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
joshpond Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Keep in mind that I bought mine in Australia but mine came with both a half height and full height bracket. You see the 2 screw holes, they allow you to change the bracket. Josh Quote Link to comment

Josh well, the thing is that this depends on the place you order it from. for example, in newegg the specify that they offer only a low bracket. in amazon, they dont specify it... where exactly did you get yours from?

papnikol Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I just got one a week ago from Newegg and it came with both brackets. looking at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101358&cm_re=mv8-_-16-101-358-_-Product it speaks about low profile, unless if by 'low profile' it means something else Quote Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 unless if by 'low profile' it means something else It does not say low-profile "bracket". What it means is that it is a low-profile form-factor CARD which makes it possible to use either a low-profile bracket or a standard bracket. Read the first comment on Newegg about it.

Ah, i see, my mistake then. it is annoying that they dont mention such stuff in the main page Quote Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Retailers like Newegg usually rely on the vendor for description text and details, as the retailer does not want to 1) say anything wrong or 2) say anything the vendor doesn't want said, or 3) create liability that they can't get indemnification from the vendor on.

Big companies such as newegg or amazon could demand more details but they shouldn't have to demand the obvious... Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 New Egg Shipped me a low and tall bracket. Quote Link to comment
furymaster Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I got two original Supermicro packaged cards from my dealer. Both had a low and a high profile bracket packaged. Quote Link to comment
keyvan Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I bought 2 of the cards from Scan in the UK. They arrived today with both brackets. Quote Link to comment
