• Server RAM

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Thursday, March 24, 2022 07:46:29
    Hello All,

    I am needing to upgrade my HPE ProLiant ML110 G6's RAM from 6GB to 16GB.

    This is the memory I was told I needed:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/324592224155

    It's 16GB ECC unbuffered RAM.

    If any of you have any extra memory, I'd gladly take it off of your hands. It is mainly because I just want the extra memory for more memory-intensive processes like compiling.

    It appears that system has a total of (4) memory slots. I'm sure I have some 4GB DDR3 ECC memory laying around if that helps.

    As long as it is not "ECC Registered" memory. Has to be "ECC Unbuffered". Other than that, that would work. :)

    Everything I have is ECC Registered. That is what is typically in the HP DL380s. They have an "R" at the end of the identification.

    Great for a server, was a pain in the butt in an old desktop of mine. I had
    a Dell T3400 workstation that used ECC RAM. Built link a tank, but I was
    never able to find affordable RAM to get it from 8 to 16GB. If I could have afforded to get it to 16GB, I'd still be using it today!

    Thanks for the offer just the same. :)

    My server is a HPE ProLiant ML110 G6.

    Some workstation motherboards will accept ECC or non-ECC memory. Typically the ECC is for servers and non-ECC for regular workstations.

    I was fortunate enough to repurpose a ton of ECC memory from some decommissioned servers that were hosting both VDI and ESXi. Some from blades and others from rack based. That is how I was able to get 300GB in each of my Supermicro servers. I'm using about 50% of that, too.

    I need to upgrade the motherboard/RAM/CPU on my main workstation PC at some point. That is the next thing to do. Prices are just too high right now and I have been holding off.

    Yeah, I tried non-ECC RAM a couple of times, not sure why it wouldn't work.

    My work servers have 192 GB of RAM. Lucky you!

    Most of our blade servers at work have around 750GB of ram, each. So my home 300GB setup is small in comparison.

    Yeah, we have a server at work that has 1TB of RAM in it. And a TON of

    What is that server using for storage? Last time I checked, IT journalism was bonkers
    claiming that RAID was dead in the enterprise and that distributed filesystems such as
    Cepth are the future...

    For storage, we user HPE Ezmeral (formerly MapR, aka Hadoop). That
    server is used by another group in our agency (I work in the public
    sector), but not sure which one. We also use RAID on as well, Both
    RAD1 (for two disk OS arrays) and RAID 1+0 for our Ezmeral Servers and
    RAID0 for data volumes on our ElasticSearch servers. Oh and we use RAD
    1+0 on our Confluent Kafka servers as well.

    This is what I was suspecting: that object oriented storage and distributed filesystems are taking over but they still use some form of RAID internally behid the
    scenes.

    Pretty much like when they used to say that hard drives were dead in the consumer
    world because everyboy would be using the cloud... except the cloud itself is powered
    by hard drives.

    True.

    Again, true :)
