    Still available. I think these are fairly priced. They include rails, which is getting harder to find for a decent price.

    Lenovo HGST SAS drives not reporting power-on time and reallocated sectors

    Btw, this is common output for SAS hard drives. Which I actually prefer. Because monitoring of the Error counter log, will quickly tell you when a drive is bad. When the numbers there increases, its means your hard drive spend extra time on error correction which slows down everything. Also...

    Intel Optane at reasonable prices

    It's not that special? You only need Cascade Lake or newer Intel Generations? For home lab, if youre stuck with a single Epyc system is understandable. But today, most can afford a cascade lake system which is just a few hundred bucks.

    Intel Optane at reasonable prices

    That is u.2, the other was HHHL. Either you already have u.2 bay available, or you need an adapter. I am suprised that these goes so fast, why are not more people looking into NVDIMMS? They have 100x lower latency compared to Optane SSD's. And are also cheaper per GB. Is it because you need...

    My first home server build. Is it good?

    Intel Optane at reasonable prices

    He also has 375GB available for about same price per GB. This is a good price that made me seriously considering buying a few for my Apache Pulsar cluster, but the truth is, I do not expect much better performance. And I cannot think of another use case I can currently benefit from them. So a...

    Slow iperf3 throughput on gentoo box with mellanox-4lx card

    Everything is as it should be. But I see you are using iperf3, just use iperf2. Iperf3 is SLOW compared to iperf2. I also recommend testing with other tools like netperf/netserver nuttcp or GitHub - Mellanox/sockperf: Network Benchmarking Utility

    Slow iperf3 throughput on gentoo box with mellanox-4lx card

    iperf usually have a bottleneck using single cpu core. You can enable threads to test performance.
