  • I have used this card for a couple years.

    Pros:

    • five m.2 sata slots
    • single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
    • incredibly cheap
    • mine has been reliable
    • no extra power needed
    • no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
    • the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)

    Cons:

    • pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
    • doesn’t support m.2 pci
    • doesn’t support booting from the installed drives

    If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.











  • I’ll give you ‘satire’. But I don’t really agree with ‘critiques’. The lesson i got from the movie was “stupid people can’t really have empathy, so they just need to shut up and let actual smart people do the important work”, and also eugenics.

    If it was critiquing the modern corporate structure, it would have included actual critiques of the modern corporate structure, rather than a single poor idiot in charge of a big company who should have just let the smart guy fix it all for him. In short, comapnies as they are would’ve worked if only the smart people were in charge of them.
