I finally got one of these X10QBI systems! :) I almost got one before the pandemic, and then prices went crazy, but better late than never. I put a single DIMM it in to get it to boot because I heard they are picky about memory, and it did boot but the fans seem to be running way too fast and...

And they're gone. Out of Stock / 11 sold

Really tempting considering the cost of SFP+ 10GBaseT transceivers... Any idea how much power these draw at (or near) idle? And how loud are they?

Those SSDs are $70 a pop on Newegg, so that's like $420 worth of SSDs.

I just bought some last week for $52 from a different seller. They arrived yesterday, very well packed, and I was surprised to find they included a bag of screws. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175627755981

5 available / 177 sold Not sure if a P520 is a step up or down from a Dell T7810, which I already have as a spare... I'd be much more interested in a P620.

$42 is getting auto declined now.

Ugh, I really don't need more SSDs right now... How many should I buy?

$94.99 + $93.28 shipping = $188.27 before taxes... Free local pickup from Rochester, New York though, so maybe a good deal for someone local.

I saw these in August, and wasn't sure if these were too good to be true. I took a chance on one and then they were sold out so I didn't post them. (same seller) Here's smart data after creating an encrypted ZFS pool, filling it with data, and running zfs scrub: [root@tobati:~]# smartctl -a...

Have you found them to work in anything other than an Gen8 HP Blade server? I got some 24GB DIMMs in the past and could not get them to work in any of my servers. (The ones I got were lower profile though. These tall ones look like they may be too tall for a blade.)

NVMe drives are still ~10x the cost of spinning rust. For small pools it makes sense. I'm writing this now on a system with a ZFS pool mirrored on two NVMe drives. :) But I also have a few 14TB drives, and many smaller drives in other systems, and the cost of NVMe makes it hard to justify...

The brilliant minds here have better things to do than reverse engineer a proprietary piece of hardware they don't even have. :P Though there's probably a few folks you could nerd snipe by sending them some cards to play with / use.

I'm wondering exactly the same thing right now... Did you figure it out?

Why not both? I'm currently running 6 2U units while my 4in1 and 1U sit powered off... :rolleyes:

I've been wondering about these too, but don't really need them... Do they really use 14W idle? It's currently showing 40 sold, 60 still available FWIW.

Based on past experience (with a different seller IIRC), I'm hesitant to assume anything listed as "For parts or not working" would work or can be easily fixed. This seller does seem to be accepting returns though, so maybe...

For the record (since sellers often change their prices, and to save folks a click) it's currently $108 with free shipping, and includes 2x E5-2630v2 CPUs. No idea where to get the HDD trays, though I imagine they must be easier to search for than GIGABYTE branded ones -- which is what I...

That seems like a big heat sink for a PCIe bridge. Is that normal?
