Re[2]: New Power 9

there is not much use of an internal USB DVD drive - once for installing. So i assume IBM

An RDX drive and an LTO drive both use SAS and the same type of bay. You just really don’t have a lot of space left anymore in a 2U case, so I pretty much second Holger.

You could fit a slimline DVD in one of those, but that might not be worth the effort. USB or network based installations are so much easier/faster so you might be better off using that real estate for NVMe storage or increased airflow
