Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN4F Review – Xeon D-1518 mITX

[Patrick Kennedy]

The Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN4F is a low power mITX platform and the first in our lab with the new Intel Xeon D-1518. Let's see what the 35w networking Xeon D SKU can do in a small footprint platform.

Xeon D makes me sad to own anything else.....

Twice the performance and 1/4 the power as a DUAL L5520?

I'm loosing.

Unless it is AES-NI workloads, dual L5520's are faster.

E5-2630L (v1 or 2) + Mobo still seems like the no brainer low-power & low-cost home choice for those on a budget. (I guess that was until all boards were gobbled up by the recent rush)

Not that the L5520 aren't low power already, but iirc the idle w/mobo/etc are a good 20w or so more than the e5, might be wrong there... I Forget

The possibilities... but @Patrick, you need to show some way to actually cool these. The options if you don't have good 1U cooling aren't great. Even adding the 1 fan to the 505-203B like you have that thread linked on is not enough to cool PCIe cards.

6x 4TB SSDs in your Ceph node? Are you made of money?!

Curious how the D1520-based X10SDV-4C-TLN2F (2*10Gbase-T; 45W) compares to the D1528-based X10SDV-4C-TLN4F (2*10Gbase-T + 2*1Gbase-T; 35W) other than the power differences and extra 2 1Gb ethernet ports. The openssl performance of the two systems appears to be identical. I am not disagreeing with the community consensus that the D1528 is great, just wondering if the differences are greater than I've understood.
