Hmm, me either.
There is a recent recommendation here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/195962/netgate-6100-replacement-128gb-nvme-drive
Not in the UK though.

Yeah, I was looking in that post as well......... I couldn't find anywhere to buy Innodisk from.
BTW, do you know how to get to the BIOS? I'm on Mac and pressing
ESC
is not entering BIOS setup at all.-S

There is no conventional bios setup in blinkboot. The only options there are the efi boot device table and the reset and pxe hotkeys.

Another disspoinment - the GiGimundo disk I have been sent (by Amazon) is actualy a K-Key only. Either the picture in the listing is worng or I was genuinely sent a worng item by warehouse staff. But I now believe the former is the case.
But that makes a lot bigger concern: if a B+M key cannot be sourced, what happens if the HDD fails, especially after the warranty. We will be left witha very expensive paper-weaight, I suppose.

More then enough :

If they send you something different, X keyed, suggest that they pause building boosters and give more love to the shipping department

That's SATA not NVMe. Must be an NVMe drive in 8200 / 6100 / 4100.

This should work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C64DVYZ9
I haven't tested it though.
I can say that the 16G Intel Optane drives work well and are readily available used since nobody wants them any longer.

@Gertjan
There is hardly any B+K NVMe availabe in UK that can be reasonably sourced; plenty of SATA availabe though. I'm looking for one eversince I got my 8200.-S

Thanks!
I'm goinna give it a try. Hopefully the picture and listing is correct.-S

Mmm, I'm pretty sure it will boot but I have no idea if it will hit the reboot issue.
