Welcome to Tyenne. And while Lionus does the Holy episodes, so this is not
one of them, I am checking out something pretty insane. It is the
FT76B7922. And while the name is a mouthful, it definitely doesn't pull any
punches performance-wise. If it's memory you're after, you can get 6 TB of DDR4
memory modules up in the front of the case. If you need processing power, you
can get four E7 8800 series Haswell based processors. If it's storage,
there's eight slots up in the front for two and a half inch bays and naturally
if you wanted NVMe, you could install them in the many PCIe slots on the back
or in the two hot swap bays in the corner as well. Yes, that is hot
swappable PCIe 8X slots, two of them in the back. So, when looking at this
server up in the front, you have your eight 2 and 1/2 in base. You have your
96 potential slots for RAM on the modules right behind that. Then you have
four CPUs. Then you have your PCIe area
and then four redundant 1200 W power
supplies just in case you're worried about three of them failing at once.
There's still one that'll hold you on. And all of those front 2 and 12 in bays
are rated together on an LSI card in the back of the case, which does actually
have a little bit of tie-in branding on it, which is kind of cool. But if stuff
like crazy hot swappable storage is more your thing, we can move on to the
GT62B B5539. Another naming mouthful, but it's
fine. I'm going to do something kind of cool on camera right now, which is pull
out one of their NVMe drives. So, this is the Intel P3700 NVMe drive. Just pull
it out while we're running. The little green light goes off. I can take it, put
it back in, click it in, wait for it,
and while I'm talking, in a couple seconds, the green light will go back on. You can just do that. It's kind of
cool. On the front, the yellow slots are for NVMe drives. The blue stop slots are
for standard older two and a half inch drives like really fast SSDs that aren't
NVMe or hard drives, whatever you want. In terms of processor, this thing is
running a Xeon D1541. That's an SOC chip. It's an 8
core chip. That means it it doesn't have like a a normal socket that you could
drop and remove a processor from. It's actually soldered directly onto the
board. But if you do want a slightly higherend model, you can get a 16 core
model as well. And if you're still not satisfied with your hot swappable NVMe
drives, you can add on the TN70J E3250,
which has 12 3 and a half inch hard drive bays and can link into the guy
above it, so you can expand your storage dramatically that way. So, that was
pretty freaking cool. I think Linus has some more servers to drool after. We're
going to go check out more stuff at Computex. Thanks to Tyenne for bringing
us here and sponsoring us for Computex 2016. If you want to see the rest of our
Computex content, be sure to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips. And if you're
interested in the other stuff Tyenne might do, like all the boards and
whatnot that are behind me, check out their website because they do a lot of cloud computing, HPC, all that kind of
stuff as well.
