In this video we get to have a look at the Awesome Lenovo (YES I am bias on Lenovo servers) SR650 V1 with room for 12x 3.5″ in the front,,, Well there is nothing yet, but the plan is that there will be.

  1. Morten, some remarks:
    * As for the LOM-cards form factor/interface, that was true until HPE Gen10/Lenovo SR V1/equivalent Dell models. From the following models (Gen10 Plus, SR V2, ..) they all started to use the common OCP standard. So technically you can put in an OCP card from HPE in a Lenovo server. It may be locked out or non-supported by firmware though, so not everything is a given..

    * In this slot, some vendors also offer the option to put the RAID-controller or an HBA (if you don't need additional networking).

    * HPE also offers an interesting boot option, which we now have installed in some of our new Gen11 servers. It's called the NS204 (with different letters, depending if it's hot-pluggable or internally and not hot-pluggable). It's a small card with 2x 480GB NVMe drives pre-installed, and it does RAID1 on the card itself. It is recognised as a standard bootable PCIe device, so no RAID controller needed. This makes it practical now to conform to VMWare/other vendors requirements that hypervisors must run on enterprise storage (no microSD/USB booting allowed anymore).

    *As for other (data) disks, in one server setup we ordered front, hot-pluggable 2.5" NVMe disks that directly connect to the PCIe CPU lanes. This was a vendor requirement for maximum performance, and as little interference from intermediate devices/controllers as possible.
    It has a downside though: in this setup you can't put any SAS or SATA disks anymore, or at least the server/CPU won't know what to do with them.

  2. I purchase seven 1U DELL DualSocket QuadCore AMD Opteron servers nearly a decade ago now and I still use them today, BargainHardware are awesome 😀
    *Never had issue with the hardware and only expanded upon the RAM along with adding various storage requirements which I had prior.

  3. There is no VGA connector on the front ? my Proliant servers have that (one on front and one on back), I like that, much easier to connect a display, but maybe not so many people use that

  4. I bought lots of stuff from BH before, but not that much these days, the extra fees by the post office to handle import taxes here in Sweden from UK are silly these days, but it's still a good place for more expensive things and they do have good prices

  5. Why is always everyone saying NVMe aren't SSDs. I got that everytime when someone talks about SSDs. NVMe is a Protocol like SATA. NVMe thouhg is extra developed with SSDs in mind, while SATA is way older and kinda inspired by SCSI as PATA became too slow. Solid-State-Drives (SSDs) can be both SATA, SAS and NVMe. There are even some retro SSDs wit PATA interfaces for retor computers.
