Someone might have already mentioned it, but M.2 is just a physical connector. You can have M.2 SATA or M.2 NVME drives. Prefer NVME (a modern motherboard should support it but older ones only do SATA)

I’ll check it out, thanks

That’s what I am using at the moment but wondered what extra MDM would allow. Plus it’s an opportunity to learn and mess around with it :)

My TP link switch can detect faults and cable length. I’m not sure it can do both together but it’s possible. Worth checking if you have a switch with those features
