Given all the other stuff being covered on STH of late this is likely not a priority . Great work btw. Still curious to the mystery Xeon D & what other treasures you can part with.

I know right?!? Sadly, I have been slammed this week with the main site refresh, Optane, Ryzen and FreeNAS.

Will post again as soon as I get to it.

My issue with the Xeon-D Family is that i want 10Gb + 2 PCIE bays... (Also would be ideal to have DDR3 ECC/REG but that aint happening. :p )

I run an AllFlash VMware VSAN with a SAS-3008 controller (w/4x 480GB Enterprise SSDS) and a Intel 750 400GB NVME which works awesome. Would need at least the 2x PCIe Bays and the onboard 10Gb which puts me in the realm of This guy... Supermicro X10SDV-7TP8F - High-end Xeon D platform

Then add new memory to max out the board on top probably about $3K a unit
