German professional overclocker Roman 'der8auer' Bauer managed to configure a THREADRIPPER build with eight SSDs in RAID-0 through two AMD HyperCards with 4x Samsung 960 Pro m.2 NMVe SSDs each on an ASUS X399 Zenith Extreme MoBo, transformed into a four Terabyte RAID with up to 27 Gigabyte (!) read speeds.

Cough. Asus Hyper Card ;)



I have a feeling I don't want to know how much that cost, but would definitely want to have that.

Best part is he still has more than 16 PCI-E lanes for graphics, unlike X299.

getting GTA V load times down to 5 min mark :^)

 

well a 2-4 NVME raid would be useful for RAW 8k video editing.

Only 24 more SSDs until you have read / write speed comparable to DDR4 RAM! :D

only 24 more RAM sticks until you get same capacity comparable to those SSDs. roughly.

You are doing storage right when you have to OC your RAM and CPU just to take advantage of it's maximum performance!  :D

Also if you think about it, this test really utilizes IF. I wounder if you can see performance differences if you spread out the drives to all the CCXs or something.

This should be bootable when BIO's update to support it supposedly.

If you look at the individual rated sustained read/write (3200/1900) for each 860 Evo, the test setup is very close to theoretical max so I doubt you'd gain anymore than der8auer was able to pull off.  

 

One thing is for sure, the threads handling data transfer damn sure won't be used for anything else.  xD

 

I would hope that it will one day be bootable as that's the only storage I care about.  Everything else is moved over the network for me.

This statement coming from the guy that says LN2 cooling is tech news worthy and pushes the limit of technology while the SAME dude straps a bunch of drives together for insane non-practical speeds now has a problem with it?  You are not consistent are you

Huh? Where do I say I have a problem with this? I was considering it myself so I asked how stupid that would be. You can't read, can you?

The video mentioned an upcoming TR BIOS that allows what he's doing by having an option to bifurcate two of the x16 slots into multiple x4 links.

 

All I can think of is EIGHT X4 GPUS AND MAYBE ONE MORE X16 ONE MORE X8 ONE MORE X4. MULTI GPU CROSS-FOREST-FIRE

20 x4 GPU's

 

Also the video is now pull off YouTube.

Not watched video, was single thread (QD1) 4k random read tested at all? I think if it was replaced by Optane modules (even consumer ones), that would give something to talk about.

well this is insanity, i like it. now someone find a usecase that a consumer might have for this lol

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

27 GB/s is actually pretty close to DDR4 already.

in fact it's higher than most... only the top of the line DDR4-3000+ systems will outpace it

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
