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 Go find some investors and show them your plans to launch it into space

@SecurityWriter the units didn't compute for a moment there.

Then I realised you said TB and not GB of ram

@SecurityWriter

How did you get 384TB of ECC DDR4 memory connected to only 4 CPUs?

Do you really mean TB and not GB????

@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.

@bob_zim @SecurityWriter

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

@SecurityWriter Blimey! The system requirements for running MS Office are just getting ridiculous aren't they?

Also, when the AI bubble bursts, the 32GB of ECC DRAM in my ancient Mac Pro will probably be worth more than the entire stock market.

@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

@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
