February 21, 201115 yr 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.
February 21, 201115 yr 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

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?
February 21, 201115 yr Author 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
February 21, 201115 yr 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
February 21, 201115 yr 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...
February 21, 201115 yr I got two original Supermicro packaged cards from my dealer. Both had a low and a high profile bracket packaged.
February 21, 201115 yr I bought 2 of the cards from Scan in the UK. They arrived today with both brackets.
February 21, 201115 yr 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? www.scorptech.com.au Will probably get one from the states off ebay next as cheaper.

February 22, 201115 yr Author thanks everyone for your answers. it seems that wherever i order this from, i will get both brackets
