    Experiences with NetApp DS4243

    Reviving the thread and hoping that someone can help here. Is there a way to managed the firmware on NetApp enclosures? I noticed that there are different versions out there and some of them are lacking support for host managed SMR drives. Note that this is not about the controller, since...

    EXPIRED 4TB HGST SAS Hard Drives - $8

    I got 20 of 4TBs at 1$/TB with shipping (not incl tax). I was also able to score $3/TB for host managed 10TB SMR drives. This is getting very interesting. Starting data hoarding at $10/TB with 2TB drives. I expect to see 3$/TB to be the norm next year.

    ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE + Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids SP ES = works it

    Seems like bad motherboard or CPU. Try with a different CPU if possible.

    AMD EPYC 7V13 64 core 128 thread $699

    That is controversial. ES/QS chips are not for resale and them getting into public hands is against the end user agreements. They are borderline stolen items. STH should not publicly promote their usage. I am not saying we should not use ES chips in our private conversation. In any case, I am...

    [US-WA]DDR4 Memory, NVMes, 8TB HDs, EVGA SR-3 Motherboard , Intel CPUs, SuperMicro Trays, ASUS X99 MB: WTT Z790 MB, DDR5

    Cost of HEDT. Yes 13700K is better than 10980xe but for some reason 10980xe worths more on the market place. 48 PCI-E vs 16 makes difference as well as quad channel vs dual channel. Motherboards and memory are also cheaper for LGA 2066, which is the reason I went for LGA 2066 in the first place.

    Help: Supermicro x11dpg-qt powers on and shuts down immediately

    I have extra CPUs that I know they work. On the other hand, it is possible motherboard is tripping because it has bad comms with CPU. I will circle back in a few weeks.

    Help: Supermicro x11dpg-qt powers on and shuts down immediately

    Is this a dead board or should I try a few other things like changing the CPU? I cannot flash the BIOS because it asks for activation code.

    Help: Supermicro x11dpg-qt powers on and shuts down immediately

    I was able to login to IPMI and check out the health logs. Bunch of errors from the past. All sensor readings are N/A. Event log does not say so much: 479 Critical 3/26/2024 23:41 Processor(CPU1 Temp) Thermal Trip has occurred - Assertion 480 Critical 3/26/2024 23:41 Processor(CPU1...

    Finally: Overclocking EPYC Rome ES

    eBay has them. FYI, I wasn't able to make the software for overclocking to work and it seems like OP is not maintaining it anymore.

    Help: Supermicro x11dpg-qt powers on and shuts down immediately

    I think flashing bios will still require for system to start. I could have used IPMI but don't know the password.

    requesting some help understanding m2, U2 and SSD options...

    Yes please don't spend the money you don't have and even sata SSDs are fine. Buy a $20 SAS controller and RAID 0 them if you want more performance. Make sure you have hard drives for backup and back up your work every time. This is my set up for lightroom. 3-4 SATA SSDs connected to ADAPTEC...
