Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.

Trying to set up OpenMediaVault on my HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF, but my aftermarket NVMe isn’t detected during install (tested with Debian, OMV, TrueNAS, Arch). BIOS sees it, but no OS does. Even after installing the OS on another PC, the EliteDesk won’t boot from it. Only the original NVMe works. Secure Boot is off. Anyone solved this?

An NVMe drive is giving me 700% faster performance than my previous SATA SSD drive

I just upgraded my main boot drive on my Linux desktop, from a 120 GB SATA SSD drive to a 500 GB NVMe SSD drive. Whilst it is true the Crucial CT120BX100SSD1 SSD was not the fastest SSD around, it shows a rating of max of 6Gb/s through the SATA inte ...continues

Why do many #motherboard manufacturers like #gigabyte keep putting #NVMe M.2 slots just below the PCIe 16x slot where the GPU goes so the M.2 is right below a hot spot? And I really don't want to have to remove the GPU either just to replace NVMe disk. Especially an issue for micro-ATX boards of course, but hey all manufacturers have these bullshit product advertising facts like number of pcb layers and so on, well add another then and move the M.2 slots.

I've never been fond of #JMicron #USB bridges! #SATA or #NVMe! (#ASMedia ain't much better?)

It's just a pain in the rear to pull #SMART reports off the drive!

NO, i friggen DO NOT WANT TO fumble around with "-d", and quirks, and shiz!

Tools on friggen #Windows (#CrystalDiskInfo) CAN DO it, so SHOULD smartmontools on #Linux, automatically!

(back in the 480mbps USB 2.0 days - things were BETTER - current #Linux code hasn't caught up)

…or is it #Firmware?

I know it's a first world problem, but what should I do with NVMe drives of 500GB capacity that I've replaced as part of a server upgrade?

Doing 1TB in a RAID0 for backup doesn't make sense (too small, and I already have an on site backup solution).

Donating is my default, but I'd rather repurpose... but for what purpose?

Cómo utilizar un SSD NVMe en Raspberry Pi https://blog.elhacker.net/2025/02/como-utilizar-un-ssd-nvme-en-raspberry-pi-4-5.html #raspberrypi #tutorial #manual #nvme #rpi #ssd

Starting a thread about #peepr my peephole thingamabob! So I can post updates here for it.

Here is the first draft of the cylinder that will connect to the dome (on the wider side there). Camera dome will be held by two screws and will be secured against people turning it from the outside.

To the small end of the cylinder the inside "box" will connect and in it will be the computer and monitor.

I will order some cables and a new #Raspberry camera to test how the commonly available parts of the #RPI ecosystem will fit into this project.
Might use a lower memory Raspberry Pi 5 for this and have a #NVME hat on it for added storage for video recording, but I'm not sure about that yet.

I am just drawing out my ideas, the measurements are not the actual ones I will use for my own door when it comes to it.

Ummmm
