Does Elbrus count? https://www.techradar.com/news/this-russian-cpu-annihilates-... Supporting 16TB of RAM is pretty impressive actually.

These are both Seagate Exos drives, one is a generation newer than the other. I'm pretty sure both have the same number of platters, thus same number of heads. And yes, HP changes the firmware and model numbers... super annoying.

It's possible. Yes, the drives were sprinkled around in the inventory, and we had some servers where there was a mix of old and new drives in the same box, behind the same controller. We use the controller in HBA mode, so the controll

For 1 drive, the differences are perhaps not much. When you have a cluster with 2k HDD drives, the difference in handling both squential and random workloads (see my other comment) can add up. A 2.5x difference in IO/s adds up quickly

No. Both models were PMR. I tried to find out more about what the differences are from the manufacturer, but didn't get far. Perhaps someone here can shed some light. Older drive: model number: MB8000GFECR SATA Version: SATA 3

I actually ran into this last year. We ordered about 2 thousand 8TB HDDs last year for a Ceph cluster and had an agreement with our server vendor that they are not supposed to substitute the HDD model. Well, seems like they ran out and a

I'm pretty sure since that time a judge ruled in her favor and the previous probation history is no longer a threat to her maintaining custody to her kids. Can't find where I saw that right now.

Elgato Stream Deck XL comes with 32 buttons. Are you saying you want even more than that?

Given the single GigE network and SMR drives, it's not very fast, but fast enough for my needs. More importantly, it is more reliable than running ZFS on a single box, which is what this Ceph cluster is replacing. I've had 100% u

I actually bought an PRi 4 8GB 2 weeks ago at my local MicroCenter, so they're definitely making (and selling) them. I decided to check on my phone on a whim. They showed 8 in stock. By the time I got there, 30 minutes later, they ha

I used the very first original Pi B when it first came out as a small "shadow IT"-type desktop at work around 2014. We could only use Macs or Windows, and I needed something sane running Linux. That version is much slower than to

Counter anecdata: I've got a Ceph cluster running on multiple RPi 4s using external Seagate 4 and 5 TB portable hard drives. So far zero issues for about 1 year since I bootstrapped this cluster.. I use a combination of official RPi 4

We're using LVM cache with Ceph on spinning disks for object storage workloads in a large, on-prem private cloud. In other words, this cache is behind the S3 backend, but in front of spinning disks. When we built this, we had a choice

I have about 50-100 PB of object storage workloads sitting on top of LVM cache for the past 5 years or so in production. It works extremely well. Before going into prod, we tested LVM cache, and bcache, and LVM cache worked better for our
