I'm on my 2nd set of H11SSL, EPYCs and 2U heatsinks from this seller Excellent seller and product and if you message them and mention STH forums they give you free FedEx shipping. Nearly rid of all my Xeon E5 V1/2 now!

I've been replacing old 1st Gen dual socket Xeon E5s with this mobo + Epyc combo. From this vendor. Absolutely love it.

As others have noted, mirrored vdevs in stripes are the way to go for speed. If you're planning to run eg: VMs on that pool that's what you'll wanna aim for. For general file server duties where write speed isn't crucial, RaidZ is great.

Damn that's some crap luck. I've had nothing but good experiences with used HP H220 from China so far. But I don't buy the cheapest one available. Think I've paid 45USD per or so from a vendor, ninety nine percent certain they are decommissioned server pulls.

Oops. Thanks. North America (Canada). Happy to cover intl post from USA.

Hey STH members Looking for some SSDs to load out a few servers. In need of minimum 6 drives, around 200GB+. Could be SAS or SATA, let me know what you've got. Enterprise write endurance and PLP for Proxmox hosts. Also looking for some larger SAS drives for a modest all-flash ZFS pool...

Yikes! Hope they're ok. Thanks for letting me know

I think bitdeals.tech has had some HGST SAS units knocking about for awhile. There was a STH coupon code for them awhile back for some extra bucks off list. Maybe the discount still works?

Nice price. Love this motherboard. Running two of them now.

Oh wow I was literally just coming here to find something like this. PM'd ya!!! Thanks.

Nice. I wish the 960GB would come back there. That was a killer deal, and I didn't realise just how good at the time. Would've ordered more back then.

Omg. Thanks for reminding me why I've been ignoring STH great deals forum emails lately :p These look perfect for ceph cluster nodes.

There may be some truth to some of that for sure. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if there are some basic algorithms surrounding offers going to members based on their activity. I did get the 10% in-app bucks offer today. Mine was set to expire on 09/18 though (tomorrow...), not 09/30 Maybe...

LOT OF 10 M393B2G70BH0-CK0 SAMSUNG 16GB 2RX4 PC3-12800R server memory GREAT!! ;) | eBay Seller has 3 lots left by the looks of it, free shipping in USA and potential 10% off in eBay bucks if you have the offer on your eBay app today. Even with the added shipping + import to Canada it's cheaper...

Oh totally, I'd be wary of that as well! The reported attributes look like a bundle of red flags. Though I'm no expert at reading SMART attributes. Let us know how it works out when they reply. I'll check my drive when it gets here, too - though it will be a little while longer to get to the...
