Thanks, the only negative I've found is that the documentation is abysmal. Gigabyte's server product docs make Supermicro look like a consumer product. Setting up a fan profile for example was incredibly obtuse and undocumented. The default fan profile went to 100% duty cycle at 90C (!) There...
I've got the Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 motherboard up and running with an EPYC 7351P CPU and 64GB (8x8) Crucial DDR4-2666 RDIMMs. So far I've just booted it from my Win10 test bench drive to run Prime95 (it passed). Using the Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 cooler, since the board is going in my old SuperMicro...
Any recommendations? I saw this one from Amfeltec but I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with a particular model. I'm using an EPYC server board and just want to use the 4 NVMe drives as a cache tier (no RAID).

I've outgrown the S3012 and while its build quality was cheesy as heck and generated some enclosure-management errors, at least it wasn't noisy.
So I'm looking for a 16-drive SAS3 dual-expander chassis that is really quiet. This is for an A/V recording studio and the server is nearby -- noise...
I'm really psyched about this chassis, hopefully it will be available soon. My new build needs an SSD caching tier, and the new LSI 12Gbps controllers only have 8 ports, so I need one connector going to a port multiplier backplane, and the other connector going to 4 discrete drives for the SSDs...
The Samsung 850 Pro has a 512MB volatile RAM cache and so LSI wisely disables the drive cache, affecting performance but keeping your data reasonably safe. The Samsungs have a habit of breaking a RAID array on dirty shutdown due to the cache (and that's not solved by a controller BBU because the...
Hm thanks but this isn't a TQ, it's the 846A (6 x SFF8087). I just looked at Supermicro's backplane list and the 846A is listed under SAS1, but the specs page for my chassis say "3Gb/6Gb support" so that's pretty confusing. It sounds a lot like the 846A was engineered for 3Gb/s but managed to...
I have the SuperMicro CSE-SC846A-R1200B chassis with the 24-port discrete passive backplane (the one with 6 4-lane SAS connectors, no port multiplier). It was designed for 3/6 Gb SAS. Has anybody tried it with 12 Gb SAS devices?
It looks like neither the MegaRAID controllers or the 12 Gb/s...
Seems to me that it's very unlikely to be BIOS-locked in the sense that it actually looks for those specific HP workstations. More likely it simply requires PCIe lane allocation BIOS support that doesn't exist in other systems (yet). I know some folks at HP that I can ask.
