Pennywise 2 - Work in progress .......
-
128 GB of ECC RAM
192TB worth of these ....
Just need the disk controller and it'll be ready to start plotting & mining.
-
Wow very nice setup you got there.. Where are you running this in a colo? I wish I can plug this kind of equipment on our DR site hehe
For my work, I should stop buying EqualLogic and build our own NAS system. 192TB storage vs 40TB for 30k CAD!!! Although, my higher ups are afraid of no 24/7 warranty so it might be a hurdle.
-
@rmbuan At my house for now - built two rather noisy 4U servers without thinking where they'd go. My wife is not too happy at the moment .... I could run it in the Colo I have my VM cluster, but for 4U it's be $200/month - which given the calculators estimate wouldn't be too bad ... might have to think about it. Will see how accurate the calc is first though.
-
Jealous looks really good.. Wish i could afford that many drives lol
-
@haitch Yeah my wife will freak out if I try to run any servers at home. Btw, if you ever have the time to do it can you share your parts list pcpartpicker.com it would be great in-case I get some spare budget.
-
@rmbuan I might post there when it's up and running, but it's:
Supermicro 4U 24 Bay X9QRi-F+ Quad Socket LGA 2011 Storage Chassis
4 * Intel Xeon E5-4650 8 Core/16 Thread CPU's
128GB RAM as 32 * 4GB ECC DDR3
LSI SAS Megaraid 9280 24i4e Array controller
24 * Western Digital HDD WD80EZZX 3.5in 8TB SATA 6GB/s 5400RPM 128MB CacheIt'll be using an SSD for the OS and swapfile, just haven't decided which one yet - possibly PCIe adapter M2 500GB
-
@arihan If it mines as well as I hope, I'm looking to add at least another 45 drives.
-
@haitch nice! are you mining at the moment? If so how many TB and how much burst do you get? (If you dont mind saying).
-
@arihan Pennywise2 isn't mining yet, still waiting on the SAS controller, but yes I've been mining for a few years. All told, without counting the new Pennywise, it's probably about 250TB. As for Burst earned, I've not been tracking it recently, so couldn't give you an accurate answer. I'll try and keep track and will update here.
-
@haitch do you think something like this might be less noisy than your system? Or perhaps in the same range?
-
@vExact Nice system, it'd be quieter than my system I think.
