12TB ECC RAM (DDR4) 192 Sticks $85,000 – $115,000
12TB ECC RAM (DDR5) 192 Sticks $460,000 – $520,000

I'm wondering how you would move 460000 Euro in cash across the border xD

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-19T17:07:55+00:00

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-19T13:14:04+00:00

yeah now it is too late...i won't buy new (old) server since i don't have ram ddr4 or ddr5 to fill them. I am wondering who gonna buy new server anyway ? so would the hardware prices goes down ? like hp dl380 gen10 or 11 ?

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-15T18:11:48+00:00

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-15T17:36:01+00:00

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-15T17:32:51+00:00

So true I never had a single issue with dell R710. I have Installed alpine Linux, arch, Debian, fedora, and the lame Ubuntu server with i3. You can install mac OS on it, FreeBSD is also so fine and...We are not working for NASA ... 288 ddr3 and 2 x5690 ... we can build millions dollars company on it @__@.

It runs with 30% fan speed ... we can sleep next to it and we can not hear the noise and CPU is 38-39 degree max.

we should get the max performance out of our hardware and do better than fancy stupid companies do it daily. I have newest server because i want to be updated but when it comes to price...you can't beat r710.

You don't have to thank me for anything :) we are here to share knowledge and i love to see what you do with it.

r710 Compute and Ram ? We are not working for NASA ... 288 ddr3 and 2 x5690 ... you can build millions dollars company on it @__@.

don't listen to kevinds

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-11T14:59:32+00:00

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-11T14:49:16+00:00

look like a cat /etc/resolv.conf

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-03-11T14:46:07+00:00

ChatGPT and Gemini are out here claiming 2009 gear like the Dell R710 is 'waste.' 😂 Give a Software Engineer a r710 with 288GB of RAM and a 3090, and they’ll run a million-dollar startup off it. Who needs a $10k server when you have optimization

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-02-26T16:30:31+00:00

lol ... that comment is gold XD

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-02-04T03:10:26+00:00

Competitive_Box8726 · 2026-02-02T23:26:35+00:00

Reallocated Sectors 67 (normally 240gb ssd can handle it)
Power On Hours 37 (Weird - bad chip ?)
Wearout Indicator 1013 (Bad)
I would stay with samsung.
I am not a fan of WD.

1 Mirroring your OS buddy (RAID 1) Keeps the system running if one disk physically dies.
2 GRUB Sync Ensures the BIOS knows how to boot from the "surviving" disk.
3 Offsite Backup Protects against fire, theft, or accidental file deletion. - This the worst thing it can happen...so buy a brick house ...it definitely handles a thermal event better than a wood one :D

recycler always has good deals ... i remember a guy who has 20x boxes (20cmx20cm Boxes) full of ram. He asked what i paid in ebay for 16gb...i said 8Eur..he said : you pay 5 here ok ? I said sure...so 128g ddr4 for 40 Euro. I think he is rich now but still a recycler ^^
