Frankly I could have posted this in storage or networking, and possibly deals (but I don't think it's a bargain). PCIE 10G + M.2 Network Card PCIE3.0 X4 AQC113C Support 2 NVME 2280 SSD https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzljYYB It's weird, kind of like something QNAP sell I suppose. But someone might...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355160494114 4 x Fujitsu PY-HC311 ConnectX3 40Gbps InfiniBand IB HCA Single Port CA05954-2441 One day left on this and the seller has several more lots of these in pairs as well. They are also selling some odd numbered lots of DDR4 server RAM which is weird but...

This one in Poland is an insane price: MCX455A-ECAT LP MELLANOX CONNECTX-4 100GBE SINGLE PORT QSFP28 PCIE INFINIBAND | eBay

No actual link, is it eBay?

It's 20in deep Edit: actually correction, these are Open Rack not 19in rack. Looking at the A in the part number, I wonder if these were made for AWS or Azure

For those who are interested in something a bit unusual in CX-6, this one has PPS for PtP tagging. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275851652094

Is Bluefield worth it if you're not developing apps specifically for it as a developer? Is it a good accelerator for general purpose Linux functions with the right drivers? E.g. does it accelerate OVS without significant work?

Not long ago I was trying to convince some colleagues that we would be okay buying Gigabyte instead of Dell. I was even citing STH to show how good getting an AMD Geneva Gigabyte system might be. Balls. Edit: Just to note, we'd not be using Windows on such servers, but it doesn't help the...

Thanks all, that's reassuring

This Latvian reseller is offering CRS510 for an astonishing price, the site says the price excludes VAT because I am in the UK, so doubtless I'll pay that at the boarder but if that's 20% it'll still be something like £780 on a €999 switch...

My name is Bob and I have a problem. It's been zero days since my last eBay purchase.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/sinobright I bought a bundle of Epyc 7401P with H11SSL-i (Gen 2) and 64GB of RAM from Sinobright. They only sent 2133MHz RAM instead of the promised 2400MHz, but otherwise it arrived in good condition. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/bestoffer4you1 Later I upgraded to an...

I've had good experience buying Epyc processors and systems from China.

Hi All, I wanted to share my experience last night which was odd and so I wanted to make what I did indexable for future! So, the first part is unrelated, I was reflashing my Mellanox CX3-Pro 40GbE card (4099) and needed to reboot. When it came back up, half of my ZFS pools were missing and...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204027530521 Seems like a pretty good price for a 36 port 40GbE switch. Edit: I should say I have bought from that seller before without issue.

I know of an Exadata that's being decommissioned soon in the West London area. It looks like it's an X4-2 Eighth rack, 2 'database' nodes of 2x E5-2697 v2, 256GB RAM, 40Gb IB networking, 10Gb Ethernet (optical) 3 'storage servers' with 36 cores, and 18 drives (unclear if they're 1.2TB 10k or...

Very little in the UK that can be made to add up to 128GB which is ultimately what I am after.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393616136708 I am trying to decide if this is a good deal for me, for my H11SSL-i Epyc 7532. As my boss says, there's no better way to get feedback than to say something wrong, so I thought I'd put it out for public comment. You can probably get cheaper in the USA...

Ah, poop.

LAGG has been working fine for probably a year, but now I can't get any throughput unless I delete the lagg and go back to single interface. Has anyone else lost LAGG on Virgin Media? Are there issues with pfSense on LAGG that have changed in recent months? I'm tempted to point the finger at...
