Oh great and mighty Broadcom what SSDs may I use?
Trying to build a homelab, and I gotta say I haven't had this much fun BareMetal installing an OS since the 90's (Windows NT, Windows 95, OS2 Warp ver3 come to mind).
First Issue: Network
I thought I learned my lesson when installing the ESXi 8u3 ISO threw an error on my MSI z87-GD65 onboard NIC "No Network found"
I order a few NICs not 100% on the compatibility list https://compatibilityguide.broadcom.com/ till I found this one NetXtreme BCM5720-2p https://a.co/d/f0ECm7T
Next issue: Hard Drive compatibility?!?!
I wanted to install to a known good SSD 60GB OCZ Agility 2 …NNNOPE! The ESXi 8u3 ISO install doesn't see it (the motherboard does and I can install windows 11 to it).
The thing about the compatibility guide is you can't search for SSDs
P.S. thank you for the NVMes in the compatibility list.
