I might have a problem...... (lemmyonline.com)

I can't say for sure- but, there is a good chance I might have a problem.

The main picture attached to this post, is a pair of dual bifurcation cards, each with a pair of Samsung PM963 1T enterprise NVMes.

It is going into my r730XD. Which... is getting pretty full. This will fill up the last empty PCIe slots.

But, knock on wood, My r730XD supports bifurcation! LOTS of Bifurcation.

As a result, it now has more HDDs, and NVMes then I can count.

What's the problem you ask? Well. That is just one of the many servers I have laying around here, all completely filled with NVMe and SATA SSDs....

Figured I would share. Seeing a bunch of SSDs is always a pretty sight.

And- as of two hours ago, my particular lemmy instance was migrated to these new NVMes completely transparently too.

Its only a problem when you get the electric bill! (Or the wife finds your ebay receipts)

I doubt these use much power compared to their spinning rust anticedents.

I meant my general electric bill. My server room averages 500-700watts.

Was curious how many watts this machine pulls? Also curious if you had ever filled it will spinning disks - would flash be less power hungry?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This one averages around 220-250.

It's completely full of spinning disks. Flash would be less power usage, but, would cost significantly more, and would end up being drastically more expensive.
