Posted July 15, 2023 I forgot how few some of the EPYC core counts can be. I think they go as low as 8/16? Crazy going from that all the way up to 64 or 16 cores to 128 on the newer platform.

Posted July 15, 2023 The 7XL has a vertical GPU mount thingy which also can be used to solve HBA cooling problem. Here's how i did it: And, yes, the LSA 12-gig HBA will thermal throttle without cooling off. Ask me how i know... And, yes, i klnow that what i'm using is technically a RAID controller, not HBA - but i used HBA before and it was overheating as well. Interestingly - i'm using the same motherboard and the same case but because i DO use it as a VM/Compute server as well - i went and bought EPYC 7742. Which is currently also pretty cheap on Ebay (like sub-900 dollars for 64 cores/128 threads, which is nuts!).

Posted July 15, 2023 Would be a good idea to detail the difference between breakout and reverse breakout SAS to SATA cables so people don't try to replicate adding an HBA and get confused why it's not working.

Posted July 15, 2023 IDK how latency critical the backups are, but I think the AMD Rome architecture, in my experience, struggles with this kind of workload. It's something they fixed improved in later iterations like Milan, but this is exactly the kind of machine I would avoid for a filestore with heavy Read/Write workload. I would personally consider either intel from the same time, OR upgrading to a *slightly* more recent architecture. NB. I think this is fine if you're doing more operational loads, or anything with less heavy R/W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2023 @LinusTech you made it sound like Mark would get Gigabit speeds if he brought the machine on-site and connected it using a LAN but the bottleneck for a full disk sync is gonna be the hard drives. Each one can maybe reach 10 MBytes/sec sustained (it'll be a little faster when the head is nearer the beginning of the drive, but slow down as it gets going). Not counting the 2 parity drives, 4 x 10 MBytes/sec = 40 MBytes/sec best-case throughput... So don't bother bringing it on site, your internet connection is plenty. The ZFS L2 ARC cache might hide those numbers until the 1TB Sabrent reaches its limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
