On Supermicro's page for a mainboard, under "Links and Resources" on the right-hand side, there's usually a link to a RAM HCL.Is there a list of memory modules that are known to work reliably - based on manufacturer claims, reviews, or users' practical experiences - with the first or second generation D15xx Supermicro boards? I've looked but cannot find one in this thread or elsewhere.
Agreed that they usually exist but don't today for some reason but thanks for your comment.On Supermicro's page for a mainboard, under "Links and Resources" on the right-hand side, there's usually a link to a RAM HCL.
But the funny thing is, those links seem to be missing currently. I know for a fact they were there a couple days ago. Hopefully it's just a temporary website glitch.
Confirmed working! Take extra extra care of the exact SKU code while ordering/after receiving. Double check it. My experience so far is that the suppliers will make mistakes with the SKU codes.Is there a list of memory modules that are known to work reliably - based on manufacturer claims, reviews, or users' practical experiences - with the first or second generation D15xx Supermicro boards?

Any chance for a power test in the next few weeks ?@Evan we do have a board for review but it came directly from Taiwan.
Mostly marketing differences. There are some like product lifetime (e.g. some chips will be available longer than others) but those are probably less of a concern for STH.Now that there are 1518, 1520, 1521, 1527, 1528, 1529, 1531, 1537, 1539, 1540, 1541, 1548, 1557, 1559, 1567, 1571, 1577, 1581 and 1587, are there any other differences between these than the number of cores, the frequency, the TDP or the presence or absence of turbo? Were some of these supposed to be "networking" units and some "storage" units? I guess 1520 is replaced by 1521 and same with 1540 and 1541.
For a simple NAS, what should I aim at? A 1508, 1518 or 1521?
I'll agree on this one. I just replaced a the MB/CPU (X8ST3-F + L5640) in my NAS with a X10SDV-4C-7TP4F. Power usage dropped about 100W according to the readout on my UPS (now stands at 120-130W with 11x4TB drives). I'm eying a couple of 1508's too to replace my current VM cluster (2x1508 + 1x1518 should be plenty for my needs).Of those three, I am a big fan of the D-1518. I have not gotten the 1508 yet. The D-1518 has a decent amount of raw CPU power at a lower TDP. Plenty of CPU power for a NAS.
When I look at low power VMs I would maybe think about the D-1528 to stay low power.I'll agree on this one. I just replaced a the MB/CPU (X8ST3-F + L5640) in my NAS with a X10SDV-4C-7TP4F.

Goddamn it. I've been patiently waiting for the 8 core, and you tease me with this!Look what I just got today!
A Gigabyte MB10-DS5 engineering sample. That's a Xeon D-1581 with 16-cores/32-threads with 2 x 1GbE and 2 x 10GbE SFP+!
Oh sorry.. gotta go change my pants.. Thats some nice hardwareLook what I just got today!

Yup, 2 upright, and 2 pairs of 90º angled ones.Oh sorry.. gotta go change my pants.. Thats some nice hardware
Does it really just hold 6 sata ports?
