The new(er) hardware pushes forward a couple of generations, and was considered the upper end of mid-range when it was introduced in 2014: * ASUS KCMA-D8 motherboard * Dual Opteron 4386 (2x 8c _at_3.1-3.8GHz) * 64GB DDR3-1333 ECC Storage is all spinning rust. OS and most user data is on a ~1TB RAID1 array, Secondary storage is housed on ~9TB RAID5 array, with everything hanging off a 3Ware 9750 RAID controller. Basically, old motherboard comes out, new one goes in, everything else gets hooked back up, basic smoke test, and then it goes back in the rack. This upgrade gains us: * Twice the RAM with double the bandwidth * 33% more CPU cores that are at minimum 20-45% more performant * Lower overall power consumption (especially at lower loads) * More than one usable PCIe slot (ie better expandability) And of course hardware that is half a decade newer... which is the primary reason for doing this upgrade. Down the line the storage will be revamped too, though I expect that will wait until the current drives show signs of distress or there's a tangible need for more space or higher performance. Anyway. By the time most folks read this the upgrade will be done! - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org (email&xmpp) _at_pizza:shaftnet dot org (matrix) High Springs, FL speachy (libra.chat) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html
