    Broadcom PS225-PB SmartNIC (DPU!) for $200 !

    @Patrick Sure! That sounds great! I created a thread here: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/broadcom-stingray-smartnic-ps410-ps225-ps250-ps1100-resources-and-discussion.36439/ I'll try and get both the Broadcom and the Bluefield-2 in the same box to do some benchmark.

    Broadcom "Stingray" SmartNIC (PS410, PS225, PS250, PS1100) Resources and Discussion

    Hi all, Starting a thread for info, resources, docs, files required for using the Broadcom "Stingray" line of SmartNICs. Recently found some cheap PS225 Broadcom SmartNICs on eBay and picked one up. As I quickly found out it seems Broadcom has quietly killed off all their SmartNICs and as such...

    Broadcom PS225-PB SmartNIC (DPU!) for $200 !

    And here it is, as described in the listing, they are brand new, sealed. Pictured here below a dual port 25Gbe Bluefield-II for reference :) Came with both brackets as pictured too. Box says 3-15-21, not that old at all! I'd love to know who else grabbed some cards to collaborate on tinkering...

    Micron 9200 MAX 1.6TB $125 each

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/265657590723 Not sure on the life left on them, haven't decided if I am going to order some yet or not. https://www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/documents/products/product-flyer/9200_ssd_product_brief.pdf Decent write endurance though so hopefully for moderate...

    Broadcom PS225-PB SmartNIC (DPU!) for $200 !

    I was thinking something similar, at-least in terms of having it run in a root complex mode... But unfortunately it seems this is locked to the 100Gb model from Broadcom...

    Broadcom PS225-PB SmartNIC (DPU!) for $200 !
