IOPS for fsync at low queue depth for single thread at low latency and this sustained, not only for consumer benchmarks. An Optane has same specs regardless how much it’s filled or how long you write. So do not trust CDI and co, test for yourself. Hammer a 990pro with looots of small writes, far...

It will work, but: just one of the NVME (there is no bifurcation available) and only with PCIE Gen2 (x4) speed. So make sure it’s worth for your use case.

This adapter offers one M.2 PCIE (NVME) slot for a M.2 NVME SSD. The other port offers SATA if plugged to one of your onboard Sata Ports. So you can run an additional M.2 SATA SSD. Kinda weird design.

Nope, this is registered RAM (RDIMM) which will *not* work in your Microserver. You want to buy unregistered RAM (UDIMM) with ECC. Prices are higher for those, be prepared.

Are you sure to get a better maintained BSD under the hood? According to release notes they still stuck with FreeBSD Release 13.1P6 (for their Beta version, in Beta status for more than a year!). And for virtualisation they rely on virtual box?? Not sure if that would make a better competitor...

25W.

Used ones, eBay US. Or „open box“ from china for around 275$. For whatever reason there is significant more supply of used enterprise gear in the US than in Europe. Assume this is because of less strict warranties rules and less strict data security rules for repurposing...

You can give this a try, for sure you can target specific drives with sg3-utils. Unfortunately chances are high that the reformat will not work with a Raid card, several users reported issues when not using a HBA. But it’s your system and your data, so your decision.

In theorie you should be able to disconnect/offline/export/ or however it’s called in HP speech your existing RAID array, power down your server, physically disconnect your existing disks of the array. Then switch your Raidcontroller to HBA, connect only the new disks. Boot a Linux from a stick...

Received the NetApp Flashcache cards, nice packaging, smooth transaction, nice communication.

Thank you so much. Have you been able to crossflash to generic SanDisk FW?

I would recommend to swap the 9361 with real HBA 9300 ones. They have become very cheap available (used) and you might be able to sell your existing 9361 for same price so it is a 1:1. Even if it looks like a 9361 will work with Ceph (or ZFS) if set to JBOD mode you probably suffer from the...

https://www.arubainstanton.com/products/switches/1930-series/ The non-PoE ones are fan-less, even the 24 Port 1Gbe and 4 Port SFP+ model.

But isn’t the W-2xxx FCLGA2066? If I understood correctly OP wants to swap a LGA3647 proc?

Well, not to bad for random 4K sync write. What did you expect?
