Short and sweet: how to choose a RAID/HBA controller for the server
RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the market. The abundance of drives and software features of RAID/HBA make you approach this choice as responsibly as possible, otherwise you may lose data.

Server fans: what they are, how they work
Server fans play a key role in maintaining the temperature at an optimal level. They operate at high speeds to ensure sufficient airflow within the server system, thereby cooling it. Most server fans are designed to operate at different speeds, which significantly enhances their efficiency. This means that when the server system is under load, the server fans operate at higher speeds to increase cooling, and when the load is light, the speed decreases.
The main function of server fans is to ...
What can Synology be replaced with in the conditions of sanctions. Part 2: Choosing a software
The most difficult thing is not even to pick up packages to replace Synology services with free ones, but to support their work, promptly responding to glitches and updates. This is not an easy, but doable task that can be completed in a few weeks.

Review of Lenovo ThinkEdge SE50 and SE30-industrial and peripheral PCs based on Core i7 with passive cooling
These are universal computers that can simultaneously be used in production, at peripheral facilities, and are equally well suited for PC-controlled equipment, for building control rooms, laboratories, and engineering workplaces. No moving parts concept, 4G/LTE support with eSIM, DIN rail mount and RS232 ports.
The development of robotics and automation of workplaces today has led to the fact that the OT industry (short for operational technologies), which includes a system for receiving ...

Article about vertical wall-mounting of servers
An interesting solution for home laboratories, small test rooms or maintenance-free points where 1-2-3 pieces of equipment are placed, and every square centimeter is worth its weight in gold
I often came up with the idea: why not place servers vertically, because if you do not have a special server rack, but have a 1U-4U machine, and even a full length of 655 mm, then this bandura will take up the entire room, the entire table or rack. No, I'm not saying that server cabinets are outdated and ...
How water displaces air in Lenovo supercomputers
A couple of years ago, the maximum air cooling limit was 600W per unit. Today, it is theoretically possible to divert up to 1.2 kW per unit using air. However, in the future, you will need to allocate 2 KW, and you can't do without liquid cooling.
Today, there is a steady trend to extract the maximum power from each computing unit of the data center. Users want to see more and more local disk storage inside data center nodes, and circulatory data transfer systems that combine cluster ...
Palit GeForce GTX 1660 Super review: testing a novelty in computing and machine learning
The new series of video cards GTX 1660 Super is interesting, first of all, because of the high bandwidth GDDR6 memory. This is exactly what you need for machine learning tasks and work in Tensorflow. At a minimum, you can build your own Google Colab counterpart in a Mini-ITX package.
In the fall of 2018, Nvidia released a line of RTX graphics cards based on chips codenamed Turing, which have built-in tensor and RT cores. The community of enthusiasts using conventional gaming graphics cards ...
RAID as the main attribute of the server
In this article, we will look at the advantages offered by RAID arrays and compare four IDE RAID controllers from manufacturers such as 3ware, Adaptec, HighPoint and Promise.
Today hard drive manufacturers are very tough competition among themselves. In this struggle, they are forced to increase the volume of their hard drives, releasing larger and larger disks. Unfortunately, the volume of media is often counterbalanced by their reliability. Most HDD manufacturers have already reduced the ...
