I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

100 decimal or binary?

it will show up as 101TB in Windows, so that is 100TB binary (I think)

yes but that would also mean another 12Gbps JBOD chassis.

Very exciting looking build.  Yes overkill, but aren't those the best builds?  Can't wait to see more updates and eventually the final build. :)

Update,

  • 1x Supermicro SuperServer 6027TR-DTRF 
  • 1x Supermicro SC847 E16-RJBOD1
  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2640V2

Insane build! Were you unhappy with the norco that you decided to spend so much more on the supermicro cases? I think I would have just gotten a couple norco 24bays and used the money saved to go 5TB or 6TB. Accessing the drives in the back can be a pain depending on your rack situation.

You're Dutch?

And why did you hide the price ;)

I'm so excited for this!

 

Yes I'm Dutch, I didn't really see the point of showing the money.

Always wanted to have a supermicro :)

Congratulations on your new build!

 

Any reason you went E5 v2 over v3?

Also I hope noise is not a concern for you.. I can't image what noise output that JBOD beast is capable of with seemingly no way to do PWM fan control.

Indeed what sidiox said, also availability is a issue as ddr4 is not widespread and supermicro has almost nothing v3 yet.

 

noise is no concern and if needed I can lower the voltage via resistors on the fans for the JBOD.

Some processors got a huge boost going from v2 to v3 for not much more:

E5-2630 v2, 6 core, 2.6 Ghz, 15MB cache ~$610

E5-2630 v3, 8 core, 2.4 Ghz, 20MB cache ~$690

 

I do agree that DD4 costs are still high and capacities are not impressive though.

yes but the biggest problem problem was the availability.

supermicro has alsmost no twins in v3.

Just a note, the SC847 E16-RJBOD1 does not have the front and rear back planes connected for internal failover, the E16 has the EL1 back plane which if you look at Appendix C of the manual. The EL2 back plane has the fail over or secondary expander chips, the rear back plane info is in the back plane section of their website and not in the the manual for the 4U JBOD.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

This may sound stupid, but why exactly do you need this? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. If you have it just to have it, then I will take my hat off to you sir.

... it's just going to look a bit funny when Intel starts getting their 10TB SSDs out on the cheap.

i suspect that he has a massive collection of ehm.... "stuff" and needs more space to store it
