Right, that is a bit of a show stopper for those SSD (the Intel needs
SATA 6Gb/s and the Sammy's need PCIe 3.0 to perform to their rated specs).

Mark,
The server is a . It doesn't really work with SATA drives. And when
you find one that is compatible, it is only used at 3Gb/s with a
maximum of 50000 IOPS (a well know caracteristic of the HP P410i SAS
RAID controller). I am looking at getting a Kingston Digital HyperX
Predator that I could use in one of the PCIe 2.0 x4 slot. However I am
worried about the "thermal runaway", i.e. when the server can't get a
temperature reading from a PCIe card, it spins the fans at full speed
to protect the server against high temperature. The machine being next
to my desk I worry about the deafening noise it will create.
Thanks!

Thinking about this a bit more - if somewhat more blazing
performance is needed, then this could be achieved via losing the
RAID card and spinning disks altogether and buying 1 of the NVME
or SATA solid state products: e.g
- Samsung 960 Pro or Evo 2 TB (approx 1 or 2 GB/s seq scan speeds
and 200K IOPS)
- Intel S3610 or similar 1.2 TB (500 MB/s seq scan and 30K IOPS)
The Samsung needs an M.2 port on the mobo (but most should have
'em - and if not PCIe X4 adapter cards are quite cheap). The Intel
is a bit more expensive compared to the Samsung, and is slower but
has a longer lifetime. However for your workload the Sammy is
probably fine.

Ah yes - that seems more sensible (but still slower than I
would expect for 5 disks RAID 0).
