Hello,

I own a (+3 years old) Supermicro server with 4 SAS HDD and an NVMe SSD (=
Samsung PM981 M.2 512 Go PCI Express 3.0 NVMe). My motherboard is a X11SP=
M-F. I have absolutely no problem with the NVMe SSD.
As I have only one of them, I've choose not to use it as boot. I'm using =
part of it as a log device for the SAS RAIDZ pool and the rest of it as a=
 standalone pool for special use cases.
Works really great.

	Hi!,

	Best regards,
