October 18, 20196 yr I have 4 samsung 960 Evos ( 2x500, 2x250) in an asus hyper m.2 4x nvme adapter. I would like to pass the 250 GB drives through to VMs but I cannot figure out a good way to tell the drives apart. Each drive has an identical description along the lines of samsung/controller/ revision. I tried to take some of them out to try and identify which ones were missing but was not able to identify the 250GB models successfully. Using 2 2xm.2 supermicro cards in different slots didn't change the device ID's either. Running a VM on the cache array really isn't an option for me as I get quite high cpu loads during disk access that is not a problem when passing through the nvme controller. My last ditch option is basically to buy different nvme drives so I can tell which ones are the cache drives and which ones I want to pass through becuase they are different models. 970 evos for vms and 960 evos for cache drives or something like that but I would really like to use the drives I already own. Any ideas on how to tell which device ID they correspond to reliably? Edited October 18, 20196 yr by Iciclebar Added screenshot
