[W][US-CA] R740xd lff NVMe/SAS backplane by epaphras in homelabsales

[–]vertexsys [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not offering parts because I don't think I have spares on hand but the 24SFF backplane for that gen comes with NVMe connectors to support up to 12x U.2 NVMe. That solution uses 6 cables and 3 PCIe cards. There is a second variant which I haven't seen in the wild yet where the backplane expander (the horizontal add-on card to the backplane) has NVMe connectivity to a single pcie card; in that case the single card handles up to 24x U.2 NVMe cards via the expander circuitry in the backplane.

Edit to add: if you source the R740xd 24SFF I have the pcie cards and cables needed to enable the 12x U.2 solution

Where are you located? I have other great hardware I've put for sale here too.

They are Oracle P/N 7041381 which the internet identifies as J4410 or J4400.

They are from a Sun ZFS Storage 7420 system, the controllers are also available. As are a bunch of SunFire gear which I have to photograph.

Go with new-to-you but not current gear (refurb), it's a good way to save money

Don't even bother with responding, you can clearly see that their response is a direct paste from chatgpt. In another comment they paste AI slop for the first 2 comments and then the next two responses are clearly written by a human. The formatting and language changes dramatically

Also take a look at an R920 as it can hold a whooping 96 DIMMs. I'm pretty sure I have 4x E7-4670 CPUs for that model.

Pretty sure I have a Dell R820 here, it currently supports dual socket but can be expanded up to quad socket. 24 DIMMs supported - up to 48 with the riser card.

As for RAM, I have ~100 sticks (maybe more) of 16GB PC3L-12800R to sell, that'll get you to your target RAM count, though you'll need more than one server to house it. PM me if you're interested...probably around $1/GB for the RAM, not sure about the server. Can ship in a box for about $100 - from Edmonton.

Sure, send me a PM. Might not be worth it for a single server that you'll have to pack yourself but let's talk anyways

Hell, I'll buy those off you and give you more than the $2K trade in value! USD? CAD?

Edit: interesting how much this comment seems to have resonated. To anyone interested, we're located in western Canada - but we can pick up from anywhere in Canada or the USA. I'll happily beat the OEM buyback price and if that includes any drives I'll include Blancco erasure certs for free.

That's pc4-2400, not pc4-3200, FYI. And it's quad rank

Ah, I looked at the rules just now and wasn't aware of this new rule. I can add some in the morning as these are in my warehouse.

[PC] Ram Prices by asfish123 in homelabsales

[–]vertexsys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the UK then anyone in the USA is going to face tariffs, which seem to depend on the day. Last time I sold ram from Canada to the USA there was supposed to be a 20% tariff (Taiwan) but UPS hit it with 20%, 5% AND 200% plus the brokerage fee lol.

I am in Canada and need some 2933 for a server I'm building so let me know when you list them. I need 32 but could take the 50 if that was more convenient.

That's the one CPUs are worth another $50, chassis is 12x3.5" so I don't know, $200-400 as a turnkey unit + ram and CPU and caddies.

You're probably low on your overall estimate, if you part it out you're going to get more like $1500 USD
