NVMe to SATA

[ventsi34]

Hi, I've decided to create a home server from my old Dell Optiplex 7040 mff. I need to have a couple of HDDs (2x2TB, 2x4TB) and 2xSSD for boot and backup of this boot SSD. But I have only one SATA port on the motherboard and one NVMe that's why I bought this:



When I connect this to my Windows PC it works and can work with the HDDs that are connected to it, but when I try to plug it into my Dell where I have Proxmox installed the HDDs are now available when I check in the console with commands like: lsblk.

The disks are in NTFS file system and I've added a package called

ntfs-3g

but again I can not see the disks. The idea is to mount the disks and change the format to ZFS.

How I can resolve my problem and why I can't see my disks in Proxmox? Can you suggest me something?

do you see the disks in the web gui? select the node, then "disks"

No, I see only the bootable SSD that is connected as SATA port directly to the motherboard

Hi,

so in lsblk the disks are visible? Can you please post the complete output of lsblk -f -o +MODEL,VENDOR,TYPE?

maybe on your desktop it's m2/pciexpress and on the Dell Optiplex 7040 mff it's a m2/Sata.

if it's a m2/sata, not compatible with the m2 card you have.

I can confirm that the Optiplex 7040 is compatible with B+M keyed M.2 SATA SSDs.

Are you sure that this is the same for mff PCs? Because these images are from my PC. I think that I have one M2/PCIe fot the network card and one M2/NVMe.

I can't understand well from this documentation
