    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    I finally got one of these X10QBI systems! :) I almost got one before the pandemic, and then prices went crazy, but better late than never. I put a single DIMM it in to get it to boot because I heard they are picky about memory, and it did boot but the fans seem to be running way too fast and...

    Arista DCS-7050TX-64-F - eBay US

    Really tempting considering the cost of SFP+ 10GBaseT transceivers... Any idea how much power these draw at (or near) idle? And how loud are they?

    Asus nvme nas with 6x 2tb solidigm for 800$ usd

    Those SSDs are $70 a pop on Newegg, so that's like $420 worth of SSDs.

    40 Supermicro 3.5" tray for $50

    I just bought some last week for $52 from a different seller. They arrived yesterday, very well packed, and I was surprised to find they included a bag of screws. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175627755981

    Lenovo thinkstation/nice server/workstation

    5 available / 177 sold Not sure if a P520 is a step up or down from a Dell T7810, which I already have as a spare... I'd be much more interested in a P620.

    DEAD DEAL

    I saw these in August, and wasn't sure if these were too good to be true. I took a chance on one and then they were sold out so I didn't post them. (same seller) Here's smart data after creating an encrypted ZFS pool, filling it with data, and running zfs scrub: [root@tobati:~]# smartctl -a...

    No longer available

    Have you found them to work in anything other than an Gen8 HP Blade server? I got some 24GB DIMMs in the past and could not get them to work in any of my servers. (The ones I got were lower profile though. These tall ones look like they may be too tall for a blade.)

    Intel P3700 800GB - eBay $109 but takes offers

    NVMe drives are still ~10x the cost of spinning rust. For small pools it makes sense. I'm writing this now on a system with a ZFS pool mirrored on two NVMe drives. :) But I also have a few 14TB drives, and many smaller drives in other systems, and the cost of NVMe makes it hard to justify...

    NetApp Flash Cache

    The brilliant minds here have better things to do than reverse engineer a proprietary piece of hardware they don't even have. :P Though there's probably a few folks you could nerd snipe by sending them some cards to play with / use.

    Brocade ICX7400-1X40GQ vs ICX7000-1X40GQ

    I'm wondering exactly the same thing right now... Did you figure it out?
