How cheap assembly 192G memory test platform

Foreword

Every wage earners have a dream, it is to have a faster computer. This man always want a more expensive watch, women want more expensive cosmetics, like endless

Explanation

In order to avoid advertising, so the purchase information is hidden businesses.

Background

Be replaced several times in fact, the whole environment is slowly scrape up a lengthy period. Not interested in directly to the end the look 推荐配置and 价格汇总.

After a period and shift times, basically came to a close

running water

First purchase

October 2016, for the first time to buy mainly want to test Azure, Stack, the main consideration is cost, how cheap how come, of course, it is particularly shabby shape. I was elected

• Dell C6100 motherboard, the motherboard pure, as long as the 200block
• E5620 CPU with the two, which is a 4-core 8-threaded U, about a 50block.
• 8G of memory is 12, lobbied 96G. 85 a, memory cost1020
• In addition to this list, a buying power of SAMA, 230block.
• Other parts are some
  

Fragmented hard to find a few retired small HDD, HDD speed is very short, unsatisfactory.

Second purchase

Because long-term work outside the home, this machine should be turned on less than 100 hours.

CPU motherboard memory now has been, still missing hard drive. AzureStack need 最少3块数据盘，以及一块系统盘, so I'm in the vicinity of October 2018, a wave of buying hard disk

• 4 Intel's SSD 545S, 256G capacity, total 1220

  

Because the onboard SATA much not to force, so bought a HBA card, the new card to the hard drive, now AzureStack experiments to better complete.

• 95 a, HBA card.

  

In addition the consumer also belongs 被消费, was the main AzureStack the POC environment, does not know what a jerk changed configuration requirements, the minimum required to deploy 128G memory, and 12 physical cores of the CPU (that is to say at least two 6-core CPU) and was not enough memory slots, so swap.

• 230 a, buy 16G memory 8.
• 80 one, buy two six-core L5640

At that time the price of memory is a roller coaster, but fortunately, in a suitable opportunity, I am 1750the selling price prior to 96G. So absolutely no loss no loss ah ah ah no loss

• 96G sold before 1750

The third purchase

Fluctuations due to memory too much, to May 2019, when 130 fell to a 16G, is simply to white, I bought four positions, now hands on a total of 192G memory. Another reason is that, once again rumors AzureStack arms race, memory requirements into a 192 ............

• 230 a buy 8
• 130 a buying 4
• Total 1840 + 520 = 2360
• If you buy it now (2020.3), 16G reg 1333 RAM about 175, total 2100.
  

Fourth Buy

Server has been streaking, to 19 August, it is boring, I bought a Dell R610,1U server, there are six 2.5-inch drive bays.

• Price not wrong, with remote management, a power strip with a heat sink, and the other four drive bays, as long as 550.
  

After booting discovery, CPU and memory with 192 full time, standard 502W power supply will not turn on. At that time still relatively simple, I think again a chant definitely on the up, so orders.

The results still can not buy it back after boot, a search online to know, buy a 700W power supply. In order to open so I had to buy a total of two 500W power supply to hit hands. Continue to buy 700W power supply, the friends finally smoothly.

to sum up

The final program is such a

• Memory: 192G 2360
• Hard: 256G 4 block intel 545s 1220
• Server: Dell R610 with remote management 550
• CPU: L5640 160 two
• HBA Cagayan line: 150
• 4440 total

If you buy now, then, is this about the price, and the drive did not need to buy so little of.

• Memory: 192G 2100
• Hard: 480G 4 block HP / intel / toshiba JD later, according to a 1920 meter 480
• Server: Dell R610 380 + 50 shipping
• CPU: X5650 190 two
• HBA Cagayan line: 150
• 4790 total

That the bulk of the cost of memory and hard drive, that do not have access, can be reduced, where appropriate,

The new purchase, you can now also buy a CPU, performance is better E5-26XX.
