Oh, forgot to say that I need to update the EPYC chip lead times. It's a manual process to override so I'll do this tomorrow. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Sent from my HD1903 using Tapatalk

Yep, U.2s would give you 2 free 3.5" front bays for HDDs. To be transparent, lead time on EPYCs are pretty poor at the moment, so Intel might be the way forward if this lead time doesn't fit in with your procurement requirements. Feel free to PM and I'll have a look at the Intel chassis that...

Hey @SpyderTracks @AgentCooper! You called :p @stephengd80 I like the build. EPYC is the way to go for video compression, rather than dual Silver Xeon. Benchmarks on the video compression SPEC17 benchmark attached for EPYC vs Xeon. Regards RAM, I'd say to switch to Quad channel, it'll benefit...

Yeah I think this would work with the controller in JBOD mode, but I'll double check with ASUS for you now. I get what you mean with ZFS as sometimes this can be a bit tricky when it goes through a controller. Looking over the config, you've got the same issue with too many PCIe devices for a...

Hey! On this particular model, the backplane acts as an expander and requires a PIKE card in order to break up the SATA lanes correctly. Without this, I think only 8 of the front hotswap bays will function off the two iSATA motherboard connections. Something to mention, you've got 3 PCIe...

Very, very good point. I'll add the MP400s today to the server configs alongside the EVO drives for better flexbility. Thanks @Scott :)

To put in my 2 cents, if you're after a rack solution the one below would be the equivalent: Case ASUS ESC4000A-E10 2U RACK CHASSIS Processor (CPU) AMD EPYC™ 7452 32 Core CPU (2.35GHz, 3.35GHz Turbo, 128MB CACHE) Processor (CPU) NONE Motherboard ASUS® KRPG-U8 (DDR4 RDIMM, iKVM) Memory (RAM)...

Hey All, We've got a new chassis aviaiable now! The 2U ESC4000A-E10 come with up to 4 double deck GPUs, up to a 64-core EPYC chip and hyperconverged storage (4 x NVMe U.2): https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/servers/amd-sp3-2u/ Targetted specifically for GPU intensive workloads. Thanks,

Yeah, definately something that we're looking to push forward with, considering the huge gains made by AMD in this space over the past 12 months or so. EPYC + GPUs + NVMe is a combination I'm looking into for a powerhouse graphics accelerated build :p Current configurators below for EPYC...

Hi Everybody, We have recently launched server products at PCS, working in partnership with ASUS to bring a wide range of custom built rack and tower units into the market. Please find a link below to the various form factors and configurators: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/servers/ If you...
