[OmniOS-discuss] new supermicro server

[Linda Kateley]

So quick google on "razor cards" came up pretty empty(lots of using a 
razor blade on your cpu).. I will assume that is some sort of switch? 
pci switch? Does latency stay in tact?

Ok so I read the first part of the manual.. It looks like it has 4 nvme 
ports via OCuLink, which if I am reading correctly will have/need 4 
lanes of  PCI Express 4? and a dual sas backplane for like the rest. 
OCuLink driver in Omni? First pass on Oculink looks pretty cool. 8T

I am looking at one of those for a project so I will read and report back :)
