The workstation sitting here on my desk has a pair of 8-core Intel CPUs, 128 GB of RAM, a PCIe NVMe disk and a couple SSDs in RAID1, and my primary server in the garage has a pair of 10-core CPUs, 192 GB of RAM, four Enterprise SSDs, and eight 600 GB 15K SAS HDDs in RAID6.
Oh, and I'm about to upgrade the networking (from 4 x 1 Gbps) but I'm on the fence between 10 Gbps and Infiniband.
I never hit the limits of these machines, so obviously this configuration should work just fine for everyone. :-)
