Is that a 600W Nightjar? In SFXL form factor?

 

[confusis]

@enricko7 No - the Nightjar range covers 450w-600w, the only SFX(L) unit is the 450W. https://www.silverstonetek.com/product_power.php?tno=5&area=en

Gotcha, the signage confused me. I like my 450W Nightjar, it's very stout. I was a little worried that I was going to miss out on a higher powered version though

Hmmm. The AR11 might be okay for the DAN A4-SFX

https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/silverstones-pcie-to-m-2-range-expands.9183/#post-115652YAY @ ECM26 it fixes all the problems I had with their PCIe to M.2 adapters: now it has 110mm and keeps 1U support. Awesome. High time we have a mainstream manufacturer releasing such so it'll be available widely. @SilverStone great work!

The LD03 still looks stunning, I found earlier mention of it at https://smallformfactor.net/news/silverstone-computex-2018 and that article contains a "dual drive, M.2 NVMe Thunderbolt enclosure" which seems to have disappeared?

I was so excited about the AR11 then realised there's no AM4 support. Where are all the low profile AM4 coolers

any price and availability timeframe for the USB 19-to-20 pin adapter? o_o asking for a friend

What is the use case for this product?

Indeed, I really like this release - will fit perfectly into my server. ^^

There's some nice kit in the Silverstone offering, not sure about the 26L LD03 though.
Silly thing, but the CA03 M.2 screw kit looks great, so long as it's affordable.
I bought a used Asus motherboard that has dual M.2 slots on board, but the screw sets had been lost, I could only find them for about £26/$33/29€ which was madly expensive.
Good to have more choice in the slim fan department, I look forward to seeing the FN124 and its flashy counterpart [FN124-ARGB] reviewed at some point.

It's a standard M2 x 3mm screw. Twenty of 'em is a buck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-50-100-...Flat-Head-Screw-Nickel-Plated-K9/222263058639
