    Buying second hand server grade SSD's, should I be concerned?

    Thanks, I saw this - but for some reason I misread the 870's TBW and I mistakenly put the Samsung 870 evo on par with the S3520 - I read it again, and saw that the S3520 has almost double the TBW. Effectively, the S3520 would need to be written once over every day for it's TBW to be exceeded...

    SuperMicro X11SCL-LN4F-O and consumer 8700k

    Does anyone know if the SuperMicro X11SCL-LN4F-O is compatible with consumer 8700k CPU? To explain my mentality here and why i'm going down this path, I already have the 8700k which i'm going to re-purpose in to a server, but I would like to get IPMI, which is why i'm looking for a server grade...
