Apparently Nvidia made the Gateway License free for since MLXOS 3.4.3002, has anyone tried to upgrade an unlicensed SX6036 to see if this is true, and whether this applies to HP branded switches as well? I checked the HP support website, and the newest FW is from 2019 and upgrades to...

Quick question, does anyone have some spare 16GB DDR4-2666 ECC RAM modules they would be willing to sell me? Shipping to either Toronto, Canada, or Niagara Falls, NY

I'm looking for a few things: 1) At least one NVMe add in card for an x16 port, either 4 Mini SAS HD or 4 Occulink. Run is short and at PCIe Gen3 so a redriver is fine. 2) at least 2 short depth LGA2011-3 UP servers capable of supporting at least 2 x16 PCIe cards. CPU/RAM preferable but not...

Quick question: has anyone done any regression testing to see how PCIe Gen4 NVMe enterprise drives (e.g. CD6/CM6, P5510, etc...) perform on a Gen3 link vs a Gen3 Drive with a Gen3 link? Looking at the drive specs, it looks like there should be a significant improvement in sequential write...

UPDATE: ALL SOLD Selling my fully assembled 3x APU4D2 pfsense/router appliances from PCEngines, originally supposed to be part of an office deployment that never happened. Top line specs are: 1 GHz quad core AMD GX-412TC CPU 4x Gigabit Ethernet i211AT LAN 2 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM 16GB mSATA SSD...

Hi All, I'm looking for a Broadwell Xeon E5 CPU with a high boost clock and at least 8 cores to go inside an ASUS x99-WS/IPMI board. They should be (based on Intel Ark): E5-1680 v4 8C/16T E5-1660 v4 8C/16T E5-2667 v4 8C/16T E5-2640 v4 10C/20T E5-2680 v4 14C/28T E5-2690 v4 14C/28T E5-2695 v4...

Quick question: Has anyone had any success with 40G LX4 transceivers in Mellanox CX3 cards and SX6036 switches (specifically Juniper QSFP+ 40G LX4 LC transceivers)? I'm about to run optics throughout the house, and MTP/MPO cables are so much more expensive than LC/LC cables for multiple runs...

Hi all, looking for 2 or 4 Gen3 NVMe SSDs, ideally U.2, but M.2 is fine also - thinking P4510? Need a matching set, either in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB ~85-90USD/TB + shipping (for enterprise, less for consumer drives). Shipping is to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5A. Shipping label can be provided...

Hi All, Looking to grab a few things for the network as part of the house renovations: At least two (2) QSFP+ Mellanox ConnectX-3 dual-port cards with ETH mode enabled (FCBT or FCCT) At least one (1) SFP+ Mellanox ConnectX-3 dual-port card with ETH mode enabled At least two (2) QSFP+ to SFP+...

Hey everyone, Need a quick sanity check, or maybe a math check: Which would be more cost effective platform for a SOHO SSD NAS/SAN attached to a 10G/40G switch via a Mellanox CX3: a used Broadwell platform with PCIe Gen3 drives (e.g. Intel P4510 or 905p, or Samsung 970 Evo Plus); or a used...

Hey Everyone, Do we have a megathread to track liquidation events from hyperscalers? I think anything like AWS dumping CPUs and SSDs, or Azure dumping switches might be useful to track somewhere. That way we know when to troll ebay for hardware drops. Cheers, Bryan

Hey everyone, I'm trying decide between the Mellanox MCX354A-FCBT and MCX354A-FCCT, the second which supports RoCE v2 and commands a higher price. Has anyone used RoCE v2 and noticed an appreciable improvement either in Quality of Life or performance in a homelab setting? Cheers, Bryan

Hi everyone, I'm contemplating getting a Mellanox SX6036 to act as a 40G core switch paired with CX3 QSFP cards for my VM hosts and storage nodes, however I'm concerned with the acoustics of the switch. The data room in my house draws in air from the hallway next to my office, so I've replaced...

Trying to purchase a single HoneyBadger from Liqid is like pulling teeth, and now Highpoint has released an 8-port PCIe4 M.2 Card through normal channels. Has anyone tried out this card, and/or compared it to the HoneyBadger LQD4500? The Liqid devs said they modified the Switch firmware code...

In shopping for switches for edge locations and I've notice that none of the vendors, except for Mikrotik publish L3 routing benchmarks, and almost all the review sites only test L2 switch performance. Especially for edge locations, Inter-VLAN routing and static routes are the most important...

Quick question, how do you add a profile picture on the STH forums. I seem to only be able to set the cover background. Cheers, Bryan

From a new Korean startup call XSLAB (I think). Product page: XSLAB (Initially loads in Korean, but you can change to English at the top) Their demo just popped up in my youtube feed, and I'm trying to get more info from the company, though my Korean is virtually non-existant (I can pretty much...

Has anyone heard rumblings of, or seen at a conference, a 1U EDSFF 32x E1.S chassis, or at least one as an AMD barebones? Both the Inspur and Supermicro systems are both Intel, and paying a dual-Xeon tax just for an EDSFF based system just seems silly when a single EPYC 7002/3 CPU can handle...
