    [WTB] Intel Xeon W-1370 LGA 1200 Processor

    What do you mean when you say they were scams? Nothing showed up? Or a counterfeit part showed up?

    Multi-NVMe (m.2, u.2) adapters that do not require bifurcation

    Where can I find this 8 M.2 card for $100 more? Link please.

    Any reason I shouldn't buy an LSI 9400-16i?

    I have the same question. At minimum it looks like some expensive cables to make NVMe drives work with this card.

    [WTB] - Four Low Capacity NVMe M.2 Drives

    A couple as in just 2?

    [WTB] - Four Low Capacity NVMe M.2 Drives

    Surely someone has a few layout around collecting dust, right? I'm upgrading my storage server to NVMe, but looking to prove out the concept with some cheaper drives before I go all in on 32TB worth. Looking for m.2 NVMe, lower capacity is fine, but at least 64GB. Also, sustained transfer...

    FS: X10SDV-8C-TLN4F

    Same! They're harder to find with the SFP+. I see you just snagged a supermicro prebuilt system on another thread. I've been eyeing the 1521/1541 for so long, I figured they are becoming pretty dated by now.

    EMC KTN-STL3 15 bay chassis

    34W at idle with no drives and one PSU connected to 120V. 40W at idle with no drives and both PSUs connected to 120V. I sacrifice the dual PSU redundancy on mine to save 6 watts.

    Bump! Any suggestions for a decently inexpensive 4 or 8 port QSFP+ switch?

    MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM vs Brocade ICX6450-24

    Thanks! Apparently my port counting abilities were off. ICX6450 it is!

    MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM vs Brocade ICX6450-24

    Also, if anyone knows of a similar switch with 4 SFP+ ports instead of 2, but still coming in at less than 11-inches, I'd be interested to know about it.

    MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM vs Brocade ICX6450-24

    I am looking at these two network switches and wanted to see if the community had any additional feedback on my feature list. My use case is an un-managed switch in my home (pfsense for routing), but I'm open to learning about advanced routing, VLANs, etc. Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+RM Est. Cost -...

    cheap dual port 10 gbe NICs for most homelab OSes?

    Noob question - why buy the 649281-B21 and flash to MCX354A-QBCT when you could just buy the MCX354A-QBCT off of ebay? What am I missing?

    10GBe vs. 25GBe - Cost Analysis and Part Numbers

    Here is what I have for 40GBe fiber parts and costs. I also added an option to buy the NIC cards at 40GBe so I could direct attach my server/workstation to play with, but run the full backbone at 10GBe. That's where I'm leaning now.

    10GBe vs. 25GBe - Cost Analysis and Part Numbers

    Wow! Thanks! I didn’t know I could get a legit switch for that low cost.

    10GBe vs. 25GBe - Cost Analysis and Part Numbers

    Impossible in my price range, I think. Do you know a 40Gbe switch that works with Ethernet?

    10GBe vs. 25GBe - Cost Analysis and Part Numbers

    The IS5022 switch looks perfect when paired with a ConnectX-3 Pro, but no Ethernet. I suppose it would be OK for direct connections though.

    10GBe vs. 25GBe - Cost Analysis and Part Numbers

    I have scoured the internet for information on 40Gbe and the conclusion I reached was that Ethernet wasn’t possible, only Infiniband. I wasn’t interested in that option. But please correct me if I’m wrong!

    10GBe vs. 25GBe - Cost Analysis and Part Numbers

    I am upgrading my backbone in my home and am trying to decide between 10GBe and 25GBe. Right now I only need two high speed connections, but will plan for more. Along the way, I have researched part numbers and prices and pulled everything into a spreadsheet. I figured I would share here as...
