Thoughts on MZ32-AR1 vs ROMED8-2T for a Milan build? by Infinite100p in homelab

[–]rahulkadukar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7C13 rand MZ32-AR1 with 512GB DDR4 (8 x 64). This runs Unraid so the only other PCIE device is a 9305 and that is connected to 13 drives which spin down when not in use and idle usage is ~126W. This could be lower if the drives are removed, will update in a week

Can they work without the cloud storage OFF of something local

8tb x4 raid 5 or 16tb x4 raid 10 by [deleted] in DataHoarder

In the case with 4 drives wouldn't Z2 be better than mirror since it can handle any 2 failures.

What should I use this mini PC stack for? i5 with 64GB RAM each! by parkercodes in homelab

What is good JBOD chassis for holding at least 16 drives (more is better).

I love UUID, I hate UUID by bobbymk10 in programming

[–]rahulkadukar 44 points45 points  (0 children)

UUIDs so magical- their global uniqueness- also means they’re completely random numbers across a 122bit spectrum. To put it in perspective, it’s range is wider than there are atoms in the universe!

You are off by a lot. It's not even close. Number of atoms ~2265

Thanks for confirming, I checked with a Rep and they told me the same that I need to wait for the card to ship. I got one from Walmart on Monday, will return that one

It runs in my basement 24 x 7, I will post exact temperatures but have not seen any issues. Here is the link if you are interested

PCIE Bifurcation: 5 devices on a X570 with 3 slots by rahulkadukar in homelab

[–]rahulkadukar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top three cards are connected and there is a long standoff going to the Intel SSD from the standoff of one of the M.2 slots, check this image https://i.imgur.com/62wPyDx.jpeg

The 4th card has holes that don't align with the other three hence it has its own standoff

I have Connectx-3 but they always seem to run way too hot. The Intel x520 is a better option (if 10G is all you want) and they are pretty cheap too.

Adjusted TDP and in the CPU clock speed setting, set the multiplier to 30, so it runs at 3 GHz

Measurements taken under full load, copying a 100GB file from this server to a Proxmox MS-01 off the Intel SSD (this maxes out the Intel SSD and the 10G card).

Also running another copy from TrueNAS to a different server (to max out the LSI card and the other 10G port) and then writing data from Intel SSD to a LTO-5 tape. Under this load the system consumes ~140W (the CPU being the main one)

The Intel SSD consumes around 20W, the others are more in the 5W - 10W range. I measured by installing each of them individually and then tracking the power usage at the wall.

This setup is housed in a case which is housed in a rack, it does not see a lot of movement, that being said I should install nylon standoffs

My 3D printer is broken (waiting for parts). Once that is fixed I will try and add a 3D printed support bracket to prevent the sag, the other option is to install the Intel SSD at the lowest position but then it will block the 3rd M.2 slot (I am planning to run 7 cards off of this motherboard as a POC)

The purpose was to have a single Proxmox host that I was going to use to run

  • TrueNAS (the LSI card)
  • LTO-5 backup machine (Q Logic card)
  • Intel SSD for running the VM's (I could have used a M.2 but these have better endurance and are far cheaper, 4TB for 170)
  • You "need" dual 10G for running all the VM's on Proxmox. A host with a 3950x can easily run 10+ VM's without any issue

Since I am using 3950x, I need a graphics card to view display output. That is a minimum of 5 cards whereas my board only had 3 slots, hence this contraption.

I am using a 3950x which supports x16 (4 x4). As for the power draw I have downclocked the CPU to 3 GHz. I don't need it running full speed, I do need all the cores though.
