    PM983 or other 8tb ssd for sustained writes?

    Thanks for the suggestions I have (4) of the sn850 gen4s in a raid for testing - its an impressive 21 GB/s read, 18 GB/s write for the entire 8tb. I can't raid for this particular use. I can get the micron 9300 or the pm983 7.68tb for about $1k which seems ok. Do you know if there is a util to...

    PM983 or other 8tb ssd for sustained writes?

    Looking for ssds with sustained writes that don't drop to super slow when the cache runs out and drive fills up. application is to dump 1tb or so continuous to the drive in one go. source maxs out at 2 GB/sec so gen4 is not necessary. currently use EVO 860 sata ssds, can fill the entire drive at...

    Server 2019 on TRX40?

    Sorry, yes it can be virtualized, but the goal here for switching from Workstation to Server2019 versions is for decreased latency and cpu overhead offered by rdma which is not available in the workstation edition. Its running a single cuda app, 1 workstation with 2 nvlink gpus linked to a 2nd...

    Resizable Bar on Asus Dual 621 Sage, success

    @Venturi Do you not find that multiple numa nodes with a dual socket board has a significant negative effect on gpu compute? I switched to trx40 because of that, at least for vfx, similar setup 2x 3090, now with a 3970x. With resizable bar enabled, do you know the appropriate setting for...

    Today only $399: XPG SX8100 Series: 4TB PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280, 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive

    Don't buy these if you care about sustained writes. Has a very small cache, after the drive is 25% full, write speeds drop from 3200 MB/sec to 240 MB/sec, and as low as 10 MB/sec for sustained writes. Bought a few when they were $399 at Newegg at the end of the year, at least they didn't...

    Server 2019 on TRX40?

    Using as a workstation for GPU compute, cant be virtualized. For anyone who finds this thread later, Enable Wireless Networking, Bluetooth, and Audio services in Server2019 first Install AMD_Server_chipset drivers for EPYC - latest ones seem to be from 2018 (!) - available from gigabyte or...

    Server 2019 on TRX40?

    AMD only offers a chipset driver for Win10. I normally use Win10forWorkstations which is working fine, but wanted to try Server2019 when I realized RDMA only works as a client on the workstation edition and not for shares. I'm using aorus xtreme with a 3970x, after fresh install and updates...

    Samsung 983 DCT m.2 Read Speed

    I think --erase is for sas and I don't think the windows toolkit drivers support nvme erase, under linux it should be DCToolkitD --disk 0:c --nvme-format-namespace --user-data-erase

    USB or TB3 to U.2 ?

    Seagate Exos settings for raid

    SeaChest_Lite -d PD0 --setSectorSize 4096 --confirm this-will-erase-data then reset, sector size seems to only be checked at boot. might have unexpected results if the drive is in the usb enclosure, usb bridge might not support 4096 sector size. these seem to be pointless with areca/lsi cards...
