November 30, 20241 yr Wouldn't you eventually need to TRIM the ssd's eventually, when the drives start to slow down?

February 10, 20251 yr Hi Very nice build. I have maybe two questions: Were you able to reach a deeper c state than c7 with the PH43B PCIe adapter? Did you get an answer from gigabyte regarding the non working 8TB nvme with the onboard interface? Thanks Edited February 10, 20251 yr by s11

As far as I know C7 was the best in my tests, but I'm not sure if I tested without the HBA card. Finally the X8X4X4 bifurcation riser should not influence the C-States as it is a passive card without any controller. So it should only depend on the used cards and/or motherboard bios how this influences the C-States.

I gave up after they repeatedly asked if the 8TB NVMe SSD is working in a different system, although I already answered it. I don't think the 1st level support really understood my questions or wanted to answer them. But I think this is simply a general incompatibilty of the C246 chipset as the IronWolf 510 SSD had exactly the same problem: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/selbstbau-nas-im-10-zoll-rack.1932675/page-13#post-25193006

Yes you should be right regarding the HBA card but, I guess to be 100% sure I have to repeat it, I tried it also without the card and got deeper states. I can not imagine that the reason for that are the two WDSN850X which I assembled on the card, but Im not that sure about it. Concerning the gigabyte support I had a request for them too and I received not an adequate response or at least a helpful one. It was regarding missing aptio bios options for the cpu power limits which I had with the initial bios version but vanished in current F2/F4 version. In the end I patched the F4 bios myself and brought back those options. But good to know that there might be no solution for the nvme compatibility 🫠
