    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    Just wanted to say thanks for the help! I would have bought a higher clocked, fewer core otherwise. I believe I found the best compromise between clock and speed at a decent price. The E5-2678v3. It's a 2.5Ghz/3.3Ghz Turbo 12C/24T beast. There is actually very little information about it; it's...

    ZFS vs ReFS crossplatform benchmark?

    I am building a new Server 2016 machine, and I would like to test Storage spaces performance (with ReFS) compared to my current ZFS pool. The issue is I just have 10G to my switch and not to another host, so testing need to be done locally. I have just rebuilt an empty 3x 2TB mirror (6 disks)...

    Physical vs. Virtual FreeNAS + iSCSI vs. NFS: performance testing results.

    Thanks a lot for taking this time. If you want to do some more test, I think the file size your picked is too small. (1GB), that will mostly go to RAM. That's why there is such a hugh difference between sync and sync disable. I would go with fewer pass (maybe 2 pass, but with 16 or 32 GB...

    Dell Quad M.2 PCIe card.

    Cards are on the way. No idea on price, but this looks promising: PCI Express Gen 3 Carrier Board for 4 M.2 SSD modules - Amfeltec and Liqid (however that one dosen't look like you can use your own m.2 drive?)

    Dell Quad M.2 PCIe card.

    No Asus motherboard supports bifurcation. They say their upcoming product will. (maybe). I hope some vendor figure a way around it for existing PCIe hardware.

    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    @wildpig Did you see any 2686 v3 anywhere? Thanks StrategyFreak, I did intend to say the WS. I could have done a mistake ordeing. Is the RAM link I posted alright?

    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    I'm probably gonna pull the trigger on one of the above. I'm going for an ASUS Z10PE-D16 motherboard ( Z10PE-D16 - Specifications ) I don't want to screw up the RAM, this seems like matching ECC DDR4?

    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    Here is how ebay prices looks so far: (exclude ES, and QS, only OEM/Retail) E5-2640v3 2.6/3.4 8/16c 600 E5-2663v3 2.8/3.5 10/10c 579 E5-2660v3 2.6/3.3 10/20c none E5-2666v3 2.9/3.3 10/20c 900 E5-2673v3 2.4/3.2 12/24c 399 <-- Feels like...

    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    I'm still looking, so far mostly at v3 xeon. Why?, because of motherboard ( 5 pci-e ). I've found good deals on "refurbished" xeons. Any ideas what that would mean? I can't be bent pins... and I really don't see anyone being able to fix broken cpus. I'm currently looking at: E5-2640v3: 8 core...

    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    I was confused about the 2680@3.6Ghz until I realized it's a V2. Which in the end might be a good thing, there are more V2 on ebay, and 128GB of ECC DDR3 looks much cheaper than ECC DDR4. So V2 might be the way to go. CPU are still super expensive however. Wildpig, which Version of the 2670...

    Dual socket build, which Xeons to look for?

    I'm looking to replace my 3930K 2011 Server (it will become my desktop) with a Dual Socket Xeon setup. That all in one server runs ESXi with a dozen VM, ZFS with 16 Drives, run Emby/Plex transcoding. I think for my kind of load I should look for frequency optimized Xeon ( dual socket should...

    How do SAS expander work? (JBOD) + "cheap" expander?

    I currently have two Supermicro AOC-USAS2-L8E (LSISAS 2008) they both have two port (not sure of the name) which can connect to 4 drive each. ( 2 card x 2 port x 4 drive ) = 16 drives. But I would like to move beyond 16 drives, how does it work from there? What do I need? How do I go from my 16...
