I hear what you're saying, but this is to replace a 3570k from 2012, so it's not entirely unreasonable. We're already getting to the point where 64GB is minimal for a Windows dev box, let alone a Linux host running a virt or two, so consumer CPUs don't have much memory headroom. Similarly, SATA...

Any thoughts between the two, mainly focused on reliability and compatibility? I'll be using for a general workstation with a 9355P, starting as overkill with the aim of a long service life. I believe the only difference between the -N and -NT variants of the Supermicro are 10G copper ports...

Thanks. Couple of those on the way now...

Is that AOM-SAS3-8I8E-LP? Seem to be ~£50 here in the UK, which is a shame. Thanks, but can't seem to find those in the UK. Yeah, I know from my existing pair of 846's it's a pain you can't use longer cables; almost but not quite long enough to pull fully forward on the rails! At the moment...

Thankfully not what I'm meaning, although I can understand the confusion. I'm talking about passive internal\external converter boards, so (hopefully) the only requirement is that whoever laid it out has done their homework on signal paths. Since this is 12G SAS3, and the same boards seem to be...

Anyone any experience of these (for building out JBODs), or a better source for an "affordable" option? I've used a StarTech one before, but I need at least a couple and they're about £100/each vs £17.

Popped down and picked up some bits today. All still in the car, but certainly seems in good condition. Nice chap; a pleasure to deal with. It's a very dangerous place, though; far too many temptations. Thanks @tjsgifan

Well, it's 2.5 really, isn't it! I'll drop you a PM. I've no EBM, I'm afriad. You could take 2 and split loads between them ;) The MCB on a UK mains ring is rated at 32A, with (each) cable rated for >20A (once you've accounted for insulation, grouping, etc), with the normal sockets...

Interested in 1 or 2 of these, and could collect during working hours. What price do you want? Do you have any JBOD boards spare? Edit: That Quanta T21P-4U could also be tempting... at a price

These are still hanging around, but I've finally worked myself up (or my wife has...) and I am starting to list on eBay; shout if there's any interest here. Open to offers.

I've got 3 of these (ish...) I need to sell: - 1x with brand new CSB batteries [will be listing on the bay this week] £700 - 1x with used batteries (happy to fit new batteries at cost once we've agreed a sale) £350 SOLD - 1x without the power module, so only useful for the network card or spares...

I tend to look on Thingiverse for stuff like that. Ideally, upload the source file as well as the exported STL.

Another 6610 gone to a happy new home...

Yes. I'll drop you a PM.

Another couple sold
