| 09:00 | vpeter> | For me such test always worked. |
| 11:15 | jnettlet[m]> | Here is the new storage card on the 8040. https://goo.gl/bmjee8 |
| 11:16 | jnettlet[m]> | That is a single PCIe NVME, and dual SATA interfaces, either m.2 or full size. |
| 11:17 | jnettlet[m]> | the cooling is the heatsink and fan from my boxee box. the fan is clocked down to 5V's from the USB (I use it for testing) and temps are still nice and cozy around 55C |
| 11:18 | jnettlet[m]> | I am using ceramic heatsinks for the 10Gb phys |
| 11:20 | jnettlet[m]> | this card gives me 5 sata ports including the onboard, and 1 pcie nvme SSD for boot/cache |
| 11:55 | vpeter> | Very nice! |
| 12:12 | rabeeh> | jnettlet[m]: the fan is rated to 12v; you can use the 4 pin fan header which supplies 12v |
| 12:12 | rabeeh> | if you want you can hook the RPM control signal and control it via PWM |
| 12:20 | rabeeh> | for the record; next batches we will remove the JTAG and place an open slot PCIe connector |
| 12:20 | rabeeh> | we finally sourced a quality PCIe connector like this |
| 12:21 | rabeeh> | the open slot is the same PCIe connector but without the plastic part that forbids putting a x8 and x16 cards like GPU cards. |
| 12:22 | rabeeh> | i think suikulokki and agraf` required that too :) |
| 12:22 | Ke> | will the september batch of mbin have those? |
| 12:22 | rabeeh> | yes |
| 12:22 | Ke> | \o/ |
| 12:23 | rabeeh> | Ke - no jtag too :) |
| 12:23 | rabeeh> | ok? |
| 12:23 | Ke> | never used one anyway |
| 12:23 | rabeeh> | same here; i HATE jtags |
| 13:15 | jnettlet[m]> | I know, bit this fan runs slower at 5V and I move it around. I have sourced 4 passive and active coolers that should fit the mcbin. Just waiting for them to arrive. I will run those off the header |
| 13:17 | jnettlet[m]> | Interestingly enough the 2 sata ports on the card are identified by uboot just fine but not the on board ports need to look at that. |
| 13:22 | suihkulokki> | rabeeh: good to hear :) |
| 13:24 | jnettlet[m]> | Although with a $30 card like this available could be nice to drop the onboard sata and provide 2x pcie |
| 14:05 | agraf`> | rabeeh: i have special chinese cables to plug bigger cards in smaller slots :) |
