Hardware pron thread

The upgrades are just routine, every 3-5 years. (This isn't really my homelab, just a joke) There are a bunch of R620s available for cheap right now.

No shit... What's 'cheap'...?

I was starting to think you were located in Houston, TX.

 

[XeonSam]

Why is that.... I'm not American but I have a few connections in TX.
I'm missing something here.... could you elaborate as I'm really interested in US culture

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

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.
