Cloud DMA — anyone running it without a second PC?

Software ESP is enough for me but curious about DMA. Not buying a second tower unless people actually use the laptop route.

Read the hub DMA article first. Most setups still want a second machine.

Old laptop as reader works if listing says supported. BIOS/IOMMU notes are not optional.

Software stack + conservative ESP still wins for most squads.

Checkout for dma is separate sku — do not mix with standard key on accident.
