    OOPS - PERC H740 - All drives (16) Unconfigured Bad (Unsupported) after botched sg_format

    Long story short... SSHd into the machine with the PERC, sg_formatted 16 drives at once in the background, and lost the session around 25% lol.

    Dell R740 support for QS / ES?

    Hey there, Was just wondering if anyone had any luck with ES / QS CPUs on the R740. I see these Platinum 8xxx CPUs going for low enough that I'm willing to explore what one would look like. For example: Intel Xeon Platinum P-8124 SR2YS 18-Core 3.0GHz 3.7 Turbo LGA-3647 CPU Processor | eBay...
