Great review! and another winner it looks like from Supermicro! thanks for putting it through it's paces with the cost effective disk options that you had on hand, it was good to see the way it performs!
Great Review, I love Supermicro servers because they use industry standard state of the art hardware which gives end users lots of flexibility. The system i an H model using SAS3908 H/W Raid Card & as far as I know you can't run Software Defined Storage like TrueNAS on a H/W Raid you need HBA meaning L Model? TrueNAS was configured as a wide 1 vdev of 32 drives RAIDZ3, Do you think performance will be improved if you used different vdev configuration? Again I want to thank you and the entire team for the great review
They can with HBA pass through mode, although you can get to the same path without having to spend on the RAID card. Performance might be better with RAID2Z and less overhead, although it will still be hitting IO limits of platters pretty quick. - Kevin
a RAIDZ consisting of 6 each vdevs, where each VDEV is an 6 drive RAIDZ; you could lose one drive in each VDEV without loss, and, even lose an entire VDEV (more than one drive failure in a single VDEV) without data loss. Lots options with 36 bays....
Its awesome watching those new 12tb drives being inserted ..I wish you wouldive showed all 36 ..its like watching an artist creating something great
We did 24 nice and slow on TikTok :) We can show the back some time. Thanks for your support.

@@StorageReview Thanks Kevin for your reply & I hope you will review more of Supermicro Storage Servers. Well done
We do several per year, we just need to do a better job making the videos ;) The website has a good deal of SMCI content though.

Quite nice, thanks.
Icelake is not 3rd gen Xeon. I guess I get to know pretty quick that I'm wasting my time here.
I thought this was a SUPER old review of something running Xeon v3 for a second...This is linked from the SuperMicro product page, too. Come on!
