I might have a problem...... (lemmyonline.com)

I can't say for sure- but, there is a good chance I might have a problem.

The main picture attached to this post, is a pair of dual bifurcation cards, each with a pair of Samsung PM963 1T enterprise NVMes.

It is going into my r730XD. Which... is getting pretty full. This will fill up the last empty PCIe slots.

But, knock on wood, My r730XD supports bifurcation! LOTS of Bifurcation.

As a result, it now has more HDDs, and NVMes then I can count.

What's the problem you ask? Well. That is just one of the many servers I have laying around here, all completely filled with NVMe and SATA SSDs....

Figured I would share. Seeing a bunch of SSDs is always a pretty sight.

And- as of two hours ago, my particular lemmy instance was migrated to these new NVMes completely transparently too.

I host a few handfuls of websites, some discord bots.

I hoard Linux isos. I use it for general purpose learning and experimentation.

There is also kubernetes running, source control, and a bit of everything else.

Backups backups backups.

Anything you don't want to lose, follow the 3.2.1. rule.

Snapshots / Raid are not backups.

Also, unraid is fantastic for handling bulk media. ZFS is fantastic for keeping things safe. (and fast).

And ceph is great for squeezing 20k IOPs out of 6 million IOPs worth of enterprise SSDs!
