I'm gonna say something dumb here but could the 2x4 bit difference have anything to do with amount of ram channels, and dimm's per channel?

the X13SWA-TF is a even better deal! (updated OP)

Yeah, no thx. I used to have a full size rack in my living room. No more. now i have 2x be quiet pure base 500 cases, plus one wyse 5070 extended with opnsense. THAT'S IT. one pure base 500 hosting a dual E5-2680v4 proxmox server, with 2x Quadro P620's in passthrough for 2 4K@60 desktops...

afaik this is carrying sata standard over SCSI standard though, as these are connected to LSI SAS controllers. I don't think it's the same as a standard sata cable to motherboard sata connector, but i'm no expert. I plan on using one meter SFF-8088 to SFF-8644 cables (8644 is shielded 8643)

For homelab use, i've decided to go a different route. I already have a dual Xeon E5 server. That has ample resources to run a bunch of HDD's. Instead of investing in a case + PSU + mobo + CPU + RAM + SAS controller + NIC, i've gone the Icy Box + external Mini-SAS 8088 route. External shielded...

i stand corrected, thx

the non-extended version does not have a pentium J5005, it has some celeron i think that i don't remember, but alittle less performance CPU, and passively cooled iirc edit Celeron J4105.. I'm pretty sure those ebay non-extended versions have wrong info

Pretty close to the $130 per module used in example...

On the X13SRA-TF page it says: "Up to 2TB RDIMM 3DS, 512GB ECC RDIMM; DDR5-4800MT/s (1DPC)/4400MT/s (2DPC), in 8 DIMM slots" Same thing basically in the manual. So as there are 8 DIMM slots, does 1DPC (DIMM Per Channel) = 8 channels @ 4400MHz? And then 2DPC = 4 channels @ 4800MHz? I didn't...

Yeah i'm no expert on this, other than i know there's confusion about all this in another thread.. if i have time i'll try to check the RAM HCL's of these boards, and see what's for sale. Any help welcome.

Added X13SRA-TF to OP Moved this price calculation here from OP, to keep OP clean: Cheapest known W-3400 with 8 channel RAM combo: If the Asus ACE is $900, then let's assume the SAGE is $1200. The STH SKU list says the W5-3425 (12/24c, 3.2-4.6GHz, 112 pcie lanes) is $1189 Supermicro (Micron)...

Added the Gigabyte boards to OP. The MW83-RP0 seems to be the second board that supports 8 channel RAM with the W-3400 family Another notable feature on the Gigabyte boards seem to be the thermal sensors under the M.2 slots. From the pictures they seem to rest on a piece of foam and press up...

To add yet more, i used to run a proxmox cluster on 12x Optiplex 780's that all booted over iscsi/ipxe. I had just one proxmox on XFS installed in VM on a single zvol, the zvol was then transferred to a SSD, and then was ZFS cloned into 12x zvol's, with only the minor changes such as hostname...

To add, there are many more options to consider as well: If you bootstrap a custom Debian on ZFS root as per the OpenZFS instructions, it will have a different root pool structure compared to a proxmox root on ZFS installed with the proxmox installer. One option would be to install a proxmox on...

Here you have the option of creating a config file for the installer with customized defaults, or what i would do, bootstrap debian instead of using the installer, in which case you manually install grub where you need it. Bootstrapping debian also gives you the choice of installing on ZFS root...

someone in the thread was also considering adding a Edge TPU to his 5070 :) Then there is the rumour of +5V power on the integrated serial ports, adding the option of running a GPS receiver for a local NTP server.. Never followed up if anyone found the answer to that, one serial port logo has a...

it is. before mine became a opnsense router, i was waiting for parts to my main desktop, and i used this as my main desktop for months, with 1x original 4GB sodimm, and one spare 2133 8GB sodimm for 12GB RAM, and latest debian stable with intel non-free firmware.. I did all my browsing, vivaldi...

also ofcourse you did flash the latest bios? also make sure all your USB ports are enabled, as i stated in this thread, 3 of the 6 pcie lanes on this platform are multiplexed with USB and SATA. correction, multiplexed with USB only, i was mistaken: "Up to 4 Device Clocks 6 Lanes (3x dedicated...

My i350 quadport is a Lenovo IBM - 00AG522, and works fine

Following this interesting thread i noticed there are also rack mounts that holds 2 of these: VeloCloud 610 Rackhalterung | eBay
