/usr/people/flexionNew ZuluSCSI Wide SCA boards finally arrived! Mounted one in the 3D printed sled for the SGI Octane.
Ready for the XFS copy party 🥳

Pete / Syllopsium@flexion Nice! ZS is noticeably slower for writes, but that should *still* be fast enough for e.g. RAW PAL capture on an O2 if I'm doing my sums correctly, so it's as fast as you need.
Plus, I'd love to have a near silent O2 if at all possible.
@syllopsium There is now also an option to install NVMe disks with waaay faster speeds in O2 as well as Octane and IP35. But my Octane2 unfortunately doesn't have the required PCI "shoebox" 😢
JiHefGe@flexion @syllopsium you made my day... I didn't know it was possible. So, next goal for holidays : find a bridge and an nvme adapter, and try on my O2 and my fuel. No pci shoebox for octane too here ðŸ˜. And it seems more complicated to find than 10 or 15 years ago ...
@jihefge @syllopsium It's less complicated with the SGI Fuel (Tezro & Origin). Simply plug in a compatible SATA controller and you can use any SSD drive. Also much faster as in O2 or Octane. Here's my diskperf on Samsung EVO SSD:
