I found this list recently and found it very helpful figuring out what the differences between all the Lenovo tiny PCs is.
Especially the section about available riser cards for these little guys is very interesting. Building a M920x with 4 NVMe and 10gig Ethernet is very tempting.
Does 10G fibre generate less heat in the NIC than 10G Ethernet? I heard those are problematic in the tiny boxes.
What kind of NIC cards do you use?
They’re actually about the same heat wise. I use some relative cheap NICs based on the Intel 82599 controller and 10G SFP+ modules.
It’s not a bad setup, I wish there was a second NVMe slot in my M920q boxes, but what are you going to do?
