Do these pull more than 75W? Or is the 6pin only needed if it is put into a 25w pcie port?

Looks like an LSI/Broadcom hba/raid controller with external ports

Looked it up, 9302-16e. 30W, so only need the power if you put it in a 25w PCIE port.

Just now saw that it has 16 pcie lanes, great if you have jbods full with sas ssds and need high bandwidth.

I know they aren't V100 or RTX... but ya gotta start somewhere.

24x optane 4801?

 

[T_Minus]

2 for production
1 for development

@i386 Many optane will be involved will share build when we get there in a couple weeks, in another thread.

It's amazing how much more affordable these chassis are than DIYing a NVME solution with >4 with the cabling, AOC, backplanes , etc...

WOW !

 

[azev]

I second that WOW !!

Voodoo 5 Shuttle got a little paintjob and window.

Now I can fill my three open computer servers with 64 GB per node.

All three servers are running E5-2650L cpu's since I did not like the heat that the E5-2665's pumped out running at %100. These run much cooler.

I was wanting the most cores with the lowest tdp as possible and not the absolute highest performance.

I have zero experience with Nanya brand ram but the green heat sinks will look pretty in the servers.
