    LSI SAS 9460-8i (CacheCade Pro 2.0 ??????)

    Oh and thats tiny. I have always had something against Broadcom / Avago business modell so this is just another opportunity to move further away from them and buy Microsemi/Adaptec. Put this card in the bin and buy a new. Thanks!

    LSI SAS 9460-8i (CacheCade Pro 2.0 ??????)

    Oh that was what I was afraid of. Is there any other means to use SSD on the 9460 to do tiering or something like that to accelerate old HDD?

    That draytek one is really interesting. Only wonder if 10gbe poe++ is good to have else it's a steal.

    LSI SAS 9460-8i (CacheCade Pro 2.0 ??????)

    Hello, I have tried to get cachecade pro working on this card. I cannot find any evidence in storcli that it is enabled. The odd thing is I can find no way to buy license or activate it. LSI doesn't even mention cachecade pro in accordance with 9460-8i. The latesta articles about cachecade pro...

    Switchadvice POE+, 2.5G and at least 4xSFP+

    It's certainly perfect! I just wish Patric had reviewd this so we had figures for power consumption. But as you say it's really expensive. Alternatives would be welcome.

    Switchadvice POE+, 2.5G and at least 4xSFP+

    Hello! I shopped around for a new switch and found the brand hassivo to be quiet cheap but also very power efficient. I went to they're aliexpress site but found nothing that was of the specs: * 4x SFP+ (or even better 2x SFP+ and 2x 10G POE+) * 4x 2.5G/5G (POE+) * 10+ x 1G (POE+) *...

    Is Xeon scaleable 1st gen BAD?

    Forum seems to have cut away a bit. Anyways happy news. Got the server down to idle at 224w. That's the best it can do with 8x sas running in raid.It's still double the dell R730 with E5 v4s. But it's also kind of older and at the top of its generation refinement versus the gold is the new...

    Is Xeon scaleable 1st gen BAD?

    Maybe the change from "energy Efficient" to "Custom" in bios did something, will need to doublecheck

    Is Xeon scaleable 1st gen BAD?

    Will see tomorrow if it reaches 4200 then QAT is off since QAT normally limits turbo on these SKU. EDIT: Sorry mean FMA

    Is Xeon scaleable 1st gen BAD?

    Good point! Will do! Should actually install Windows on new NVME and see what gives me. Just amazed that the R730 is so much more efficient and quiet.

    Is Xeon scaleable 1st gen BAD?

    Yeah disks are blinking but they do not generate much heat and I guess the LSI is doing some light patrol read. The second cpu is behind the first sorta at an angle/verticalshift so half of it. I will see if I can turn off QAT somehow, do not use it and windows driver got uninstalled so the...

    Is Xeon scaleable 1st gen BAD?

    Had a look in BIOS and changed from Energy Efficient to Custom the n went into Windows. It is now a bit quieter but still using 340 watts at idle. The first CPU seems low temp but the second is nearly hot at idle. The one the furtest from the fans ofcourse. I can see it only goes down to 1200mhz.

    Thank you everyone. I will check up on all the bios-settings and hwinfo in Windows to see if something is wrong. I'll get back here with results tomorrow.
