Your Supermicro demo room visits are the best! Also if you get a chance to compare the HoneyBadger vs the AOC-SHG3-4M2P with M.2 drives you showed off, that would definitely be an amazing video. (Partly because Honey Badger says they have some secret sauce in the PCIE switch that makes the I/O better)

The flexibility of this node is quite impressive. 64 lanes for PCIE (4 x 16 or 8 x 8), 32 lanes for AIOM (OCP), and 24 lanes 6 direct connected NVME - very nicely done. MB can support 8 NVME but space seems to be an issue and leaving some dedicated processing is fine too. Thanks for video.

Its very right of you to disclose the funding for this video. Its ethical. A lot of others dont disclose even if their videos are completely controlled by the corporates, they forget that they are on the customer side and not on the company's side. Keep it up STH.

I have been longing for USB-C KVMs and KVM ports on servers. Imagine, an isolated management network, served up by the same cable, that provides USB, video, and power for the BMC in case of a catastrophic failure, also, personally, i'd be using them for working on dozens of laptops at once, and dont want to have a huge bundle of power cables along with the USB-C KVM. a 2U KVM with a 1500w PSU would be awesome. Would aso be cool for those little 30w LEnovo and Dell micro PCs like the M90N and that little PC that fits inside of the Dell monitor stands

Talking about the IPMI @3:37 " ... that's the only networking port you'll see on the BACK of the system ... " - that is the FRONT of it ;-)
Great review, as always! Thank you.

[semosesam]

Amazing content once again, thank you!

[gunner]

Gotta respect the fact that supermicro didn't give you a script.

[Banner]

That looks like itd be ideal for something like a telecom box, given how short it is

[pingtime]

Patrick didn't bother to say the confusing Intel CPU SKUs, and I glad to know that.

[fat_pigeon]

2:40 - The PSUs use a regular IEC C13/C14 power connector, but you say they're 2 kW. ==> 240V only?

[_Stin_]

Shower thought: Super, micro and hyper are all prefixes...

[fat_pigeon]

9:26 - 10:34 New Xeon generation supports 8-channel DDR4-3200 with 128x PCIe 4.0?
THANK YOU, AMD!

[festro]

I'm curious, lets say you wanted to have the fans and storage bays in front would it be easy if at all possible to swap the front and back?

[hgbugalou]

This is super cool but I have no idea what use case it would have outside of a dev lab.

[Wolfereign]

Looks really cool except for the proprietary, or non-standard, pcie hot swap slots (AIOM). Lenovo/IBM use to do something similar and it really kills the reusability and upgradeability of a system.

[peterpain]

I wonder if they'll to an epyc version of this?

[carlink]

Wonder how long till I see one of these in my lab 😂

[KenBob]

Anyone know the brand of heat sinks for the NVMe cards?

[Nobe_Oddy]

I don't understand that LAST feature you mentioned: Service tags on the Front AND Back....I didn't see any types of tags anywhere lol maybe I'm missing something... I guess it would help if I wasn't playing catch-up since I last went to school for network admin stuff about 22 years ago.

[AI-xijk]

If only it would take rtx 3090 GPUs cause their enterprise counterparts are much more expensive. Cool system for sure.
