    Good, because I disassembled the 4p rig last week. Only the boot disk remained. That's how it looked like:

    IvyBridge Xeon E5-2697v2 experiences

    Patrick, I started the script on 2 machines: 1) Dual E5-2697v2 2) Quad E5-4650 How long will this run approx? minutes or hours? BTW, one quick observation. I have a power meter connected to the Quad Xeon machine: The computational density of the benchmark is very low (at least the part I...

    Patrick, thanks for packaging it up. I was travelling in the last few days (US, Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark) but are now back. I'll report as soon as I have something to report - Please gimme some time, the inbox is quite full :-) Andy

    ok, thanks Patrick. I'll wait then for the script to simplify my life :) Here is some folding performance info (& vs. E5-2687W) IvyBridge Xeons: Folding performance - [H]ard|Forum Astonishing performance reaching into 4P territory, best performance/watt of all systems. rgds, Andy

    Patrick, if they are ready to run - happy to do. If I need to become a specialist before, my time budget might be a barrier. Let me know, Andy

    IvyBridge Xeon E5-2697v2 experiences

    Hadn't been here for a while. A week ago I received my two E5-2697v2 CPUs (12c, 24t, 2.7Ghz, 130 watt). Thought there is some interest sharing experience with these. When comparing to SB Xeon, I am referring to the E5-2687W I got a year ago. Packaging: The 12-core IB Xeons are a bit...

    New home NAS and Hypervisor setup

    Low power and silent go hand in hand. Not sure if it really makes any difference which of the i7-3xxx CPUs you select with 3 raid controllers in the system. The CPU will idle with ca. 2 watt and while I don't know the exact power consumption of the your controllers, I wouldn't be surprise if...

    Anyone with 4 x Samsung 840 PRO's on RAID5 with LSI Card?

    My observation is a bit different. When I did the power consumption test with differnt SSDs last year, the Samsungs were among the lowest with idle power consumption. BTW, the 840 Pro peak write power is about 30-40% lower than in the 830 generation. QUOTE]Question 2: Using a FLASH BACK write...

    Lots of cool stuff - Show your old servers

    Memories, memories. Looks like this community is full of seasoned IT-cracks. So you might find an old picture of a server you have a "special" relationship with. Show a pic or two and if you want to tell the story why you think this machine deserves a story. Feel free to enter multiple posts...

    Anyone with 4 x Samsung 840 PRO's on RAID5 with LSI Card?

    Can't recommend anything. My SSDs aren't clean either. Sometimes they are 50-70% full, sometimes they are empty when I do IOMeter runs. The Samsungs are pretty insensitive to "load" factors. I used Samsung Disk Magican with the 830 after these arrays had some petabytes of writes behind them...

    Anyone with 4 x Samsung 840 PRO's on RAID5 with LSI Card?

    My eperience is that the 3 ARM cores in the Samsung SSDs have a much more predictable performance characteristic than the Sandforce based SSDs. Especially important in raid arrays. I wouldn't call it a DIY rack, it is rather a solution to the annoying "problem" to constantly reconfiguring...

    Anyone with 4 x Samsung 840 PRO's on RAID5 with LSI Card?

    Just installed the second Adaptec 71605E controller. Splitted the SSDs to 12 each per controller to better balance the performance of the PCIe 3.0 interconnect with the aggregated throughput of 12 SATA channels. Setup: Each card created a 12SSD raid0, combined by the OS. IOMeter works against...

    Anyone with 4 x Samsung 840 PRO's on RAID5 with LSI Card?

    1526/1395 MB/sec sequential rate seems to be low for a 4x Samsung setup. What is the IOMeter result with 4MB block size? Might be an Anvil issue.
