    Designing 1U/2U/3U/4U rackmount server chassis - these will be going to production - looking for input, ideas, and feedback!

    Did this ever make it to market? I would buy one just to convert it to a JBOD. I'd also love to see a 15–17" 3U chassis with two 5.25" bays up front. I will probably end up going this route but I am waiting for the revision with SAS interposers.

    FS: 13900KS, Z690, WRX80, 4070Ti, DDR5-6000, PSU, 4TB, 8TB, 360mm AIO

    I'd be all over that Optane but it's hard to justify when Newegg has the P1600X 118GB for $60 and the 905p 960GB (which includes an M.2 adapter) for $340.

    LSI 9300-16i $129 obo

    I bought one of the $75 ones from this listing to replace a 9212-4i4e and I'm pretty sure I got a brand new card. I had the same issue as @mattlach disabling Secure Boot on an Asus board (X99 in my case) and ended up creating a quick VM with UEFI "firmware", passing through the two PCIe devices...

    Samsung PM983a M.2 22110 SSD NVMe PCIe 3.0x4 1.88TB - open box - $125 OBO + free ship

    Yes, I forgot that I ended up doing this. Heatsinks on the controller packages and a fan pointed at the carrier card.

    Samsung PM983a M.2 22110 SSD NVMe PCIe 3.0x4 1.88TB - open box - $125 OBO + free ship

    I bought two of the 960GB model from this seller a few months ago and sure enough they had zero hours on them.

    Thank you! That confirms what I wrote here: Anyway, that's quite the setup. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!

    AMD EPYC 7302p+ Supermicro H11SSL-i version 2

    Can I see the output of `lscpu -e` from a Linux boot? Thanks in advance.

    FS (IN, US): ECC DDR4 RAM (8GB 2133 RDIMMS and 16GB 2400 RDIMMS) + MISC NIC Cards including Intel x520-DA2

    Can you determine whether the AOC-SGP-i2 cards are based on the I350-T2 or I350-T2V2?

    AMD EPYC 7302p+ Supermicro H11SSL-i version 2

    Is the 7302P four CCDs with two cores per CCX? That would give you eight "nodes" with 2c4t and 16MiB L3$ each. Very nice. It probably makes more sense to do something like this vs upgrading my X570 server to a 3950X, even though the core clocks are much lower and I'll need a new cooler, new...

    X10SRH-CF@$200+shipping, E5-2697A v4@89

    Bathtub curve... but I find that if you make a reasonable offer and mention this forum and/or homelabbing most sellers are willing to meet you in the middle.

    X10SRH-CF@$200+shipping, E5-2697A v4@89

    Yes, but that's about it, and it's attached through the PCH so beware a potential bottleneck there (especially if you're maxing out onboard SATA and/or USB ports) and/or a latency hit for the extra "hop."

    X10SRH-CF@$200+shipping, E5-2697A v4@89

    Agreed. All my data vdevs for ZFS are SAS/SATA, but I've got five NVMe drives in the CPU-attached expansion slots: two for SLOG, two for the special vdev, and one for L2ARC. If you're willing to forgo a 10+GbE NIC you can squeeze in two more, but an NVMe-augmented zpool sort of necessitates...

    X10SRH-CF@$200+shipping, E5-2697A v4@89

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I love the heck out of my SRH. Until very recently I had it decked out with a ton of NVMe drives, two SAS expanders, a 10GbE NIC, a Quadro, etc. and I was doing SR-IOV on both the GbE and 10GbE NICs. Now it's just a fileserver, no more virt, but I was able to move the...

    X10SRH-CF@$200+shipping, E5-2697A v4@89

    It's actually x8-in-x16 on the SRH, x16-in-x16 on the SRi. It's bonkers. The SRH consumes eight lanes for the SAS3008 HBA and four lanes (at Gen2 speed) for the i350 NIC, so you only get 28 usable vs 40 on the SRL. I guess it makes a bit more sense on the four-port CLN4F variant. If you don't...

    X10SRH-CF@$200+shipping, E5-2697A v4@89

    I think the platform is pretty forgiving. I've got M393A4K40BB1-CRC in mine. The manual states that it will run at 2133 if all eight slots are populated with RDIMMs, but I haven't tested that scenario.

    Great board, especially if you were planning to buy a SAS3008-based HBA anyway. I'm happy to answer any questions.

    EXPIRED 32GB ECC UDIMMS for $29/ea in the CDW Outlet

    Just wanted to write THANK YOU. I was about to drop an absolutely unconscionable amount of money for some ECC UDIMMs on the QVL for the ASRock Rack X570D4U. These were cheap enough to roll the dice—although I wish I'd known about the phone option to save a bit on shipping—and they work great...

    NUMA support for UP Xeon E5-26xx v3 (Cluster-on-Die)

    Hi folks, I posted this over at L1T last week, so if you already saw my post there, feel free to scroll on... I have a SuperMicro X10SRH-CF board (UP, based on the C612 chipset) configured with a 12-core Xeon E5-2678 v3 processor and eight DIMMs in the proper slots to activate all the...
