They are a nvme m.2 drive. What makes them special is if you wanna use them as cache which is done in software + firmware.

Since it sounds like you just wanna use it as a regular ssd any m2 slot should be fine. There are also m.2 to PCIe adapters.

An important detail, when you connect a bunch of m.2 drives and PCIe devices. (m.2 slots are essentially PCIe slots with a different connector) The motherboard will divide the lanes between all the devices. (Could result in i/o bottlenecks)

If you have any sata type m.2 drives it’s common for the motherboard to disable a regular sata port.

This looks to be primarily focused on simplifying the stack for improving security and efficiency for a handful of edge cases.

I’d expect it to only be noticeable in scenarios where the software has been optimized for extreme i/o or significant context switching.

On an ordinary personal computer or a gaming computer probably nothing. For a server farm I could imagine this helping, but I can’t put a % on it. As there’s too much variance to speculate without hardware to experiment on.

Paywall on the article 😨

Whenever I see something like this, I can only imagine an utopia free of capitalistic agendas that is humanity first.

Not all regions use the same emergency number if they even have one at all.

I’m a little sad that the surprising part about this was that it’s not in America. :(

Should have always been government.

Good, now the rest of the world needs this.

Yeah, I was trying really hard to wrap my head around the idea that Christmas turkey prices were bankrupting a generation.

I haven’t tried setting up jellyfin myself. However, if you’re able to use pcie passthrough on your container, you could probably use any spare card you might have? (assuming it fits and your psu can handle it)

Oh thanks I must have missed that in the title.

The xeon does have more cache too. So if the GPU acceleration is the make or break it option. You could toss a card in there.

I’m assuming you’re talking about version 1 of the 2620.

Although the xeon is the weaker processor, if you’re planning on having those containers active together the larger thread count will potentially be more beneficial than the faster i7.

But this is one of those things where you’d need to test against both and see. Since there’s a bunch at play.

I’m assuming the xeon comes with ECC ram?

I’d decide based on how loud it’s gonna make my homelab, if I get to use ECC ram and the type of workload being applied.

Since you’re just looking to make a router the xeon would be my tentative choice.

My clients when they text me the server is down.
