The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus Destroyer 2 SSD has up to 64 terabytes of speedy storage.

The Destroyer 2 is essentially a carrier board that can take up to eight M.2 SSDs in either a 2242, 2260, or 2280 format for a total of up to 64 terabytes of high-speed storage.
... it will be able to reach sequential read speeds in excess of 28,000 megabytes per second. For reference, that is faster than prototype PCIe 5.0 SSDs, which are capable of reaching anywhere from 12,000 to over 14,000 megabytes per second in sequential read tests.


$2,000 for maximum capacity & performance,
And while that sounds like a lot, i do remember paying around $1,200 for a 10,000 RPM UW SCSI HDD many years ago, which had much less capacity, and no where close to the performance (i think it was good for around 40MB/s sustained sequential reads). Taking in to account inflation, i reckon that $2,000 would be less than what i paid for that SCSI drive all those years ago...

It's taken way too long, but things are starting to significantly improve in the GPU market.
Used graphics card prices fall up to 50% as more cryptominers sell their GPUs

And things are continuing to improve for new GPUs as well.

Probably none because they were all running Windows 3.10 booted with DOS 5.0.

The work this thing could do...

... WRX80D8-2T motherboard, which supports a Threadripper Pro CPU, up to 2TB of memory, and has seven PCIe 4.0 x16 slots.

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Pro CPUs support up to 2TB of DDR4-3200 memory using eight channels (up from 256GB on non-Pro TR) and have 128 PCIe lanes (up from 72 on non-Pro TR). But unlike AMD's EPYC processors for mainstream servers, these chips boast high clock speeds that make them ideal for ultra-high-end workstations.

The platform has everything it takes to be a server, including four SATA ports, two OCuLink connectors for U.2 SSDs or additional SATA HDDs (12 SATA ports supported in total), two M.2 slots for SSDs, two 10GbE ports (enabled by Intel's X710-AT2), and one GbE connector for remote management. One thing to keep in mind is that when all PCIe slots are populated, not all SATA and OCuLink connectors will work.

looks very similar to the ROMED8-2T boards that Keith and I have.

https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=ROMED8-2T#Specifications

some slight differences, like the WRX80 having all 7 slots full x16 concurrently without sharing lanes thanks to adding some more connectivity though the chipset (EPYC does not have a chipset). and the USB-C FP header has a lot more reasonable placement at the front of the board. but surprising lack of additional PCIe power connector.

the addition of being able to use UDIMMs (non-ECC) is probably convenient, but probably wont bring huge gains if you can't overclock them past the 3200 spec. but maybe lower latency could help a bit, but will still depend if the board supports XMP profiles or allows to bump DIMM voltage. a lot of the high speed/low latency dimms need a bit more than spec voltage.

Yes, agree that the lack of an additional PCIE aux power connector input is surprising given the ability to use all seven slots for high power gpus.

I do see that they changed the board ATX12V power inputs from an 8 + 4 pin to a 8 +8 pin to allow for those higher cpu clocks on WRX80 Threadrippers compared to the ROMED8-2T boards.

I wondered why there was no stock of the Asrock Rack ROMED8-2T anywhere when I looked last month.

Now I see that they have released an updated version of the board called a ROMED8-2T/BCM where they subsituted a Broadcom 10Gbe LAN chip for the prior Intel 550-AT 10Gbe chip.

Looks indentical otherwise physically and spec-wise.

[Edit]
Not quite the same, I just noticed they dropped the USB-C connector on the I/O panel.

Sounds like these SBC's might be useful for running BOINC with a bit of creativity...
This credit card-sized PC board can use an Intel Core i7

Or an eight-core AMD Ryzen. Not made for personal use, but what's stopping you?
The single-board PC is from Aaeon, the industrial-computer-focused subsidiary of Asus, and it's being made alongside another board of the same size that uses an AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 processor. According to CNX Software, Aaeon expects the boards will enter mass production by the end of September.

These two little units are going under the brand name "de next," and they really are close to the size of a credit card, with each board measuring 84 millimeters long and 55 millimeters wide.
