I have 384TB of ECC DDR4 across two blades with 4 CPUs for a combined core count of 96.
It powers a fully populated 192 disk solid state SAN.
I was told it was old and in need of replacing, but apparently now it’s worth more than the GDP of the UK.
Can’t afford to run it (or hear my thoughts when in the vicinity)… but I can sit atop it like a fucking dragon.
And I will.

I will exhaust every last one of these SATA SSDs before I pay a penny more per gigabyte than I would have 2 years ago.

@SecurityWriter I've noticed price of storage going up ever so slightly -

@SecurityWriter Last place I worked at decommissioned an entire 42U rack of Dell Blade servers from the LGA 2011 days, Counted over 12TB of DDR3 ECC

@SecurityWriter the units didn't compute for a moment there.
Then I realised you said TB and not GB of ram

No, he should reactivate the Destroyed Nuclear power plant to power on the system

@Dragon @SecurityWriter I often have that with G and M…
(I did get used to RAM sizes no longer being measured in Kibibyte though, no worries there.)

How did you get 384TB of ECC DDR4 memory connected to only 4 CPUs?
Do you really mean TB and not GB????

@SecurityWriter this does bring legitimate questions though. I’ve also been pondering the value of our kit with huge storage and memory capacities has risen an am actually wondering if we’re underinsured now.

@agowa338 @SecurityWriter Yeah, has to be GB. The densest DDR4 I’ve seen available for purchase rather than just being discussed is 128 GB per DIMM. That would take 3072 DIMMs to hit 384 TB. No way would that be doable with only 96 cores.

@SecurityWriter 256GB LOT 8x32GB DDR4 at $1500.
Pension time?

Well he only said "DDR4", not that it is used as the systems memory. And PCIe add-on cards for ramdisks exist, sooo

@agowa338 @bob_zim @SecurityWriter which is pretty unlikely for a SAN - if he said 48 TB or something it would be possible but unless you have very very very specialized boards I dont think you get up to 96TB per socket on ddr4 in any cases I know about

@adrianww @SecurityWriter You mean just before? When it bursts it'll be worthless due to liquidation of AI companies flooding the market.

Expect more increases soon...

@agowa338 @bob_zim @SecurityWriter that being said things like Solid State Sans do have some highly specialized hw setups so we might be totally off
