My personal opinion as IT-Professional: Personal Devices are a godsend for corporate IT. You can force your users to use ONLY specified Services and connections with their devices. And we all know, your general User is very much too uneducated and simple minded to handle a whole operating system. The Money on the other hand is quickly fixed , if you consider manufacturing large quantities for your corporate directly from factories. As this is of course only possible for bigger companies, smaller ones need to rely on vendors. I remember Apple offering a specific version of their SE2 to us, because we had a limit of 450,- for a singular device. Anything above that would've needed special approval. So we got the most barebones packaged SE2's without charger and any kind of booklet.

I used a sata disk to install centos. This drive does not have raid. I then attached a nettapp x371a sas ssd 12gbs drive. The system has recognized my drive. But when I install sg3 into centos and then use the sudo sg_scan command, only the drive where centos is installed appears, the sas drive is not recognized. Therefore I cannot use the command sg_format --format --size=512 /dev/drivename. Can you help me see where I'm wrong? Or do I have to use untubu?

please answer sir.. 1. Is the Dell Precision Rack 7910 a server or workstation type? 2. Can the nvme drive be used as a boot drive? thank you

Will this create a computer with a higher cpu power output

I agree full classic system being more and more integrated as a SOC is the pretty clear next step.

I'm very worried that there will be no room for the magic smoke anymore?

Thanks very impressive, and I remember all the old cables and standards too. All the best Joseph

So are you talking about in memory compute? Instead of the von Neumann computational architecture? I think that's what your talking about.

Yea but phone suck and pcs do not suck there is a big big difference they are NOT the same at all!

I can see the CPU and memory together, they already brought the Lcache from the motherboard to the CPU chip long ago but try to stuff my 4090 with a cpu, we are not there yet but looking forward to it.

Thanks Brad. I have done similar service work in the controls and automation industry. 90% of the time dealing with PCs or servers running control systems, often coming across customers gear, varying between 5-20 years old. Requires a similar bunch of tools and equipment……spent 4 years building my toolkit, basically be prepared for anything.

I've relogged to another account just to watch this video again and give you 2nd like. Thanks a lot, you've really helped out bunch of people.

These sorts of things have been happening for a long time, where things are being put closer and closer together to improve latency This will be a big step which will take lots of time to hit the market and it will be interesting to see what happens to computers to make this happen.

There are so many useless videos on the subject, only this one actually addresses the problem of using SAS drive on a PC. Thank you and be blessed.

Can a wireless card be installed on this mainboard, if so, which slot is it installed in?

Hi Leadius, You make great content! Do you have an email that I can contact you with? I got a 3PAR 8200 and would like some advice. I don't know if I should continue with a fiber channel setup, or sell the controller nodes and install use it as a jbod instead. Thanks.

finally found something about this, i am watching this on compaq p2 series pc which i got on my 6th birthday 18 now and surprisingly still working perfectly just put a extra 2gb ram and the hdd went bad so replaced that

What are the DELL part numbers required?

Cool

Great Video, thanks

THANK YOU! ♥

wow, thank you for sharing, Please keep taking the time to develop these series.

I have a HPE DL380 gen9 with 8 x 2.5'' slots, there is room to add another 8, but I HATE that I have to buy a drive cage for it instead of just the backplane and cables. They could easily had the slots/grooves included in the chassis.

Chupedupe💯

I bought a SAS HDD 3.5 and a sata to sas adapter the HDD wont spin up. Can someone help me what should I do to make it work on my desktop? I was thinking to get a SAS crontroller nvme from aliexpress as I have a ITX desktop..

i bought a 3.5 inch, 10TB drive for my pc second hand, and did not read the description carefully enough.. It is a SAS drive not SATA. I just want the drive to work on my PC. Can anyone reccommend a controlller card and which cables i will need, to install it in my desktop PC. I am on a very limited budget, so I don't need anything powerful or something that will run a lot of drives, I just want it to work

Totally enjoy the same route. Seems I’m addicted to the PowerEdge R720 series of servers. I’ll probably get a fourth!

Men i was gonna do this but tmux saves me a lot of pain on accidental terminal closing.

I am just putting together one of these myself - have most of the parts you installed, except mines the LFF unit, so 12 3.5" bays up front. What is the part number of the network daughter card you installed in yours?

Thanks man

Thank you for explaining this concept

I have a bunch of CPUs trying to figure it out. What do I need to make a cluster

It would be awesome if you could make video playlist for clustering start to finish

TL; DR: Most pc motherboards only support SATA storage and do not support SAS storage. This is a terrible video: You say confusing things such as "because the edge connector it is not detectable with a motherboard". Huh? Say it straight: SAS drives are not directly supported by desktop pc motherboards that only have SATA interfaces. You need an interface card and related cables and connectors. This stuff is not difficult to understand if you can just get to the actual point.

really I do appreciate all info that you explain on your valuable video really I understood the difference between SAS, SATA and SSD. Really you helped me to choose our method to change our server

Just ordered this system to upgrade my wainsview cameras I bought back in 2029. The ones I had were nice but they were cloud based so you couldn’t go back farther than two days without paying a subscription. This system also allows for remote viewing from an app and also has a subscription option in the app but if you have the main DVR you should be set. This was an extremely easy system to setup and while my dvr had a bad hard drive out of the box I messaged the company and they are sending me a new drive. Thankfully I had a spare laptop 1TB drive I threw in and formatted until the new drive arrives. Only negatives I had were the included mouse was almost worse than useless but I had an extra wireless mouse I threw on it, the only other downside is with my old cameras anytime I got a alert I could delete the clip but from the app and the actual dvr I don’t see that option but notice it’s the same dvr interface I have at my job and I’m thinking it’s probably a security feature that you can’t delete clips without wiping the whole HDD and that makes sense for businesses and stuff

Those are still SSDs, just using the NVMe protocol instead of Sata, it's not some infinity speed magic, there is no such thing as infinity, they are not as fast as you make them sound. That 4x NVMe Card does not lower the performance of the drives, it just gives you the ability to plug 4 PCIe x4 devices into an x16 slot. RAID 5 or 6 is always gonna be slower than a RAID 10 or sometimes even RAID 1 because of the Parity calculations, this has nothing to do with the NVMe Protocol. It definitely makes sense to put more than 2 NVMe Drives in a RAID array, it still enhances the speed and storage capacity of the pool just like it does with any other device. And really, talking about fiber channel in 2024? Why do i even spend my time on this....

They need nano nvme, or transmit over nvme. Alot of laptops are tiny. There shoud be an 80ghz ultra short range transciever to gouge out the battery bay because hes got 12 screws on that dinky battery and no room for the NVME cable.

Hi, I currently build a storage array, and found your videos quite interesting, however, since my built will involve internal and external JBOD, what of those boxes would you recommend to use? Your videos shows quite a mix of such ... HP D3700 Dell PowerVault MD1420 Dell EMC Unity DAE 25 3PAR 8000 Netapp DS224C

Officially mind blown. I am more from the school of binary, but I am open to your thoughts. I don't see how you will store data in your OEM Proxmox using lightning. If I could replace my Synology with a cup of coffee and store more data and access it faster than 10Gig life would be a dream... I'm in.

I am new to some of these server equipment. Can I, and how do I connect a "Dell EMC 25x 2.5'' SAS SATA SSD Server Hard Drive Disk Array Expansion JBOD Chia" to me, Dell PowerEdge r820?

You could kind of do that with directly connected PCIe lanes. Some HPC vendors are doing that at the rack level.

Great video I wished I discovered a year earlier. Brought a big box of bulk SSD drives and got a few SAS drives that I didn't know what they were. Looks like SATA but could not connect them. I just put them into a little box and into a garage. Just earlier this week I found out that they are SAS. Unless I want to go through the hassle of getting a controller card and install into one of my computers, I might have to fork over $100 for one of the external SAS enclosures to test out the SAS.

So did you ever get one up and running ?

Good discussion. Thanks!

Life saver dude would've taken me years to reformat the 70 drives I found haha

last i checked you cant use sata with sas due to sas having no gap in-between the power and data pins

Great video!!!

Thanks for this video, all you say it's a big, big truth !!!

That setup really does look slick, been toying with doing the same. It's hard to find server stuff here in Canada since Tigerdirect and NCIX are gone and these mini PCs are so cheap on ebay it feels like a no brainer to go that route. I'm also toying with building a custom blade system that is hardware agnostic. The blades would basically house the mini PC, the power adapter, and maybe even have room for a couple hard drives. Basically a self contained unit that only needs AC power and network. This would allow me to easily mix models and grow the cluster over time and not worry that they might be different sizes. I don't really have any tools or knowledge of metal fab so I'd probably use wood, which is not really ideal... but I think it would be fine. The chassis would also handle the cooling, I'd have big fans on the back that suck air through the front of each blade.
