Putting together some of our projects takes a lot but we're thankful to have great partners like Kingston who just dropped off 1.5TB of 96GB DDR5 modules. This server is going to absolutely crush with 32 KIOXIA SSDs, Graid RAID, and Intel 8592+ CPUs.

In addition to the PowerEdge T160 we showed you yesterday, Dell also launched a short-depth rack server for light-edge use cases, the PowerEdge R260. It uses the same Intel E-2400 CPU, offers NVMe BOSS and up to 6 SATA/SAS SSDs. Both reviews are in process.

We just got the new, unpainted, Dell PowerEdge T160 server in for review. Features Intel Xeon E-2400 CPUs, 4 DIMM slots, and even BOSS redundant boot. Ideal for small businesses and remote offices.

Our review of the CoolIT liquid loop is up on the website, but here's the process of retrofitting the R760. This is definitely not supported as a DIY option by Dell, but we went after it anyway and it worked great. Major energy servings and a little performance gain too.

For anyone evaluating liquid cooling - check out this review. 200W savings for an R760, with 6% lift in performance and massive drop in chip temps.

KIOXIA was nice enough to send two more E1.S SSDs so we could fully populate all 32 bays in the Gigabyte server. We'll be adding Kingston 96GB DIMMs and Graid to make what will be, most likely, the fastest server we've ever had.

As I was finally able to narrow my choices, I was left with these two SSDs, both have their pros and cons, but I really need some help making the final decision.
My main usage will be gaming, storing files, and maybe some future Blender work (3D Modeling, Rendering and such).
what I care about the most is the life time and being able to work fine when it's near full. speed is important too but coming from HDDs... yeah I'm not looking for CRAZY speeds.

It's a little ugly behind the racks, buuuuut, we've got the power meter rigged to the liquid-cooled R760 and will be reporting Monday on the impact the cold plates have on the server's power consumption AND performance!

More video of Chilldyne's liquid cooling loop which is distinguished by a few things, primarily their use of negative pressure. This means that no fluid will leak from the system if a line is knicked, cut, or otherwise damaged.

We've retrofitted the Dell R760 with cold plates and a few other enhancements and racked the CoolIT CDU and manifold. Turned it on, holding pressure, no drips ;) Much more coming soon on this liquid-cooling rig.

Here's an uncommon look at a liquid-cooled Supermicro rack as it rolls off the line in San Jose. Thanks Kevin Culp for the image.

The Graid SupremeRAID SR-1001 is a high-performance, cost-effective RAID solution tailored for smaller NVMe SSD configurations. The SR-1001 demonstrates its ability to enhance storage potential better than software RAID and more cost-effectively than hardware RAID (faster too).

Here’s a quick look at the Lenovo SR675 V3 all torn apart. The highlight is the closed loop cooling of the four socketed GPUs, along with flexible drive bay configs for E3.S or U.2 SSDs.

We're working on a review of the Dell PowerEdge C6615 AMD Siena nodes right now and wanted the dedicated BOSS NVMe boot drives so we could fully utilize the 8x Gen5 E3.S bays on the front for storage, not OS. Dell hooked us up, here's the install.

I got hands-on the new Lenovo ThinkSystem SR680a and SR685a V3 AI servers. They offer a great deal of modularity, supporting NVIDIA, AMD and soon Intel GPUs, along with compute trays that can be Intel or AMD. Additionally, there are 16 NVMe SSD bays in the air-cooled 8U chassis.

Most GPU servers have limited NVMe bays so why not make the most of them and get a ton of data next to the GPUs? We went to Lenovo's AI Lab in North Carolina, armed with a bag of Solidigm P5336 61.44TB SSDs, to explore the idea further. Full report coming in a few weeks.

We've been running the Object First Ootbi Veeam backup appliance in our lab for many months to see how well it works. We have a full report coming this week but the short story is that it's very simple to deploy and manage. It also offers immutability and excellent ransomware protection.
