    Replacement server option - Gigabyte R282-Z92 a good option?

    @Mark Linton I have actually been looking for a few 2U NVMe single socket EPYC servers. We have a ton of DDR4-3200 and old Milan CPUs so my thought was to build a few low-power hosting nodes with those. The 16TB drives I was thinking of using just for backups and completely removing hard drives...

    Very fun and different content today

    Hey guys, For those who do not know, last week we had a "drop everything and jump on a plane" opportunity. After 2.5 years of asking, we got a 2-hour window to go look around the IT of an NFL stadium, unguided. That "Go" came about 36 hours before the window opened. Then, I got very sick to the...

    Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

    I have one of these and was hoping to do a roundup / video in September before the move. I showed @WillTaillac that and he was like you MUST do a video on this. I have all the cards on our "to do" shelf for that roundup/ video.

    Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

    Memory is a good idea for this as well. I was told by the Minisforum folks that it works so we used 2x Crucial CT48G56C46S5 48GB DIMMs. We have not seen any issues yet, but the Minisforum folks said they are only supporting 64GB maximum because they did not have time to validate 96GB. Still, in...

    Before we left Friday, we had them hooked up to a MikroTik switch via cheapo 10Gtek SFP+ optics.

    Downloaded Proxmox VE 8.1.3. Installed it. Added SFP+ modules and connected OM4 fiber. Assigned IP addresses and set to autostart. Everything worked immediately.

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    It does not from what I can see. Still x2 bifurcation. I just looked and we have some cheapo and random SFP+ optics in there, so I would say not. This is not my experience. It was running in Ubuntu, but we installed fresh Poxmox VE 8.1.3 and iperf on both hosts, that is a very standard 10GbE...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    We have the new CWWK N100 NAS motherboard as well. I think that is more of their NAS solution: N100 6 SATA ports 2x M.2 4x 2.5GbE 2x Internal USB mITX form factor There are still some quirks with that one like memory training on the first boot takes MINUTES, but from a hardware perspective, it...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    We have been playing with the N100 version. I could not figure out the PCIe card slot until I realized they also make cards. In either case, I have no idea how they are supposed to be mounted. However, The USB Type-C port can power a display on this one, which is excellent. Another small item is...

    ASRock Rack AM5D4ID-2T BCM Review An Awesome AMD Ryzen Server Motherboard

    The idle power of the machine we are using is a little bit off of what it should be. It was ~39W out of the box with both 10Gbase-T ports active. What I realized when we took this is that we had two issues: We had liquid cooling and too many chassis fans. It is very quiet, but there are...
