I have a US-16XG as a backbone to my home data center, but I am always try to push the envelope of ensuring I'm not bottlenecked. I have two connections to my OPNsense router that does all my firewall/routing capabilities. Prices seemed to come down, but I wonder if they are down to the point of...

32G sticks. Would like 8x

Any chance of offering 3200 RAM instead of 2400?

If you're concerned about ordering a motherboard from China, Neweg has a 12 Hour deal on H12SSLi boards for $522 shipping from the US...

Speed is based on the Dimms you install. Should be able to go up to 3200 (1600MHz DDR).

Did you buy the single socket or dual?

Wallet cries

Wondering if it's even worth replacing my dual socket E5-2643 v4 with a single socket 7402. Only benefit would be getting the option of DDR4 3200, and the hope of lower power usage. but is it worth it to drop 2 grand on?

Correct. Slots. 128 Lanes

according to their website it does, I just have no experience with tyan boards. Extra PCIE lanes are more beneficial to me, so I would still go H12.

if it were me, I’d go H12 Supermicro to get access to Milan-x as a possible upgrade down the line. NVMe ports look good if you have the chassis for it with the Tyan.

If you stick to TrueNAS Core, you're able to use it still. However, if you want the kubernetes/Container support and Qemu style virtual machines, Scale and the lack of dual port SAS is what you're left with.

Just as a heads up. I bought a 9305-16e to be able to have 2x 3008 controllers and dual controller HPE StoreServ 8000 SSD shelf. After having difficulties getting it installed, I have it showing up in my system now. I thought that iX didn't have the multipathing ported over so I made a ticket in...

If you are planning on adding NVMe JBODs, you have to go 9500. 9400 only doesn NVMe internally. If it's just SAS3 JBOD's, save money and go 9305w-16e.

still for sale? What's your bottom dollar for it?
