that's the one of points of article: Epic cpus have 128 lanes for a while, and that's how they upgraded to 24 NVMEs.
- sseagull 3y agoOh yeah, the article. I guess this thread got sidetracked on the topic of Dell's pricing :). I wonder how common a 24-drive NVMe server is. I don't know all the ins and outs of SAS vs NVMe. Maybe someone else can chime in. I am at the end of my knowledge now. I suppose one benefit is the availability of hardware RAID controllers, as hinted in the article. But it does seem interesting that NVMe is cheaper than SAS, while theoretically having higher bandwidth.
- riku_iki 3y agoYeah, I feel SAS is obsolete tech, and will be replaced by NVMe everywhere going forward.
