    processor isn’t my concern… it’s the ram and hard drives.

    I went to quote someone today for a 3.8Tb SAS drive… in sept, the cost was 3k per drive… it’s near 19,000 now lol

    the ram previously was 225 for 32gb stick… they want 10,000… lol fuck that noise.

      it’s the ram

      The reason this CPU is interesting is because it can use DDR4 DIMMs.

      IDK about that, you can get 32 GB DDR4 for $200 here.
      If the CPU isn’t the issue, why then go with DDR5?

      Except of course you can get 32 GB sticks for less than $500, I have no idea how you get to 10000?? That’s 20 times the price here (Denmark) ?!

      Also 4 TB hard drive is less than $200? Do you really need special server drives? I thought that was completely obsolete already a decade ago.

        server components sadly. not consumer grade.

        the server also requires the SAS drives to expand their current array with more storage

        my own personal stuff yeah, your prices are inline with what I buy too but this is not consumer grade stuff

          Well then I don’t care so much, because that’s a cooperate problem. Do like the major information companies do, and use standard hardware and build it with redundancies, instead of the overpriced server shit.
