So quick google on "razor cards" came up pretty empty(lots of using a razor blade on your cpu).. I will assume that is some sort of switch? pci switch? Does latency stay in tact?

Ok so I read the first part of the manual.. It looks like it has 4 nvme ports via OCuLink, which if I am reading correctly will have/need 4 lanes of PCI Express 4? and a dual sas backplane for like the rest. OCuLink driver in Omni? First pass on Oculink looks pretty cool. 8T

I am looking at one of those for a project so I will read and report back :)

No LSI controller on those, they connect directly to the CPU with razor cards.  
In theory they can utilize the entire bus speed but in the backplane you get 
around 2GB/sec throughout on each nvme drive.

Betreff: Re: [OmniOS-discuss] new supermicro server

You didn't mention anything in the original note about NVMe, and
neither did the spec sheet.

NVMe 1.0 and 1.1 should work on 020 and later OmniOS. Hang out on the
illumos developers list to see the latest on that front.

In regards of NVMe, I am eyeing this particular Supermicro and I intend to get 
my hands on two of those in Q2:

SuperMicro SuperServer SSG-2028R-NR48N

I think these will bring a lot of fun to the table. ;)

Cheers,
Stephan
