i happend to get my hands 905p 960gb for a good price. im wondering if any one has any silly idea they think i should test out with it i am already planning to trying to do some goofy stuff with neo4j and a few other dbs and some fun with qubes. but if any one has any other ideas they think i should try id love to hear it.
Well, I’d use it as a SLOG for a ZFS cluster.
only issue with that is its going to be running on a intel 8086k so no ecc and last i heard zfs needs ecc. though that sounds like something fun to try and i have a few spare servers lieing around so i can always slap it in one of those.
Zfs does not need ecc. Don’t want to get a massive debate going. So use it for zfs slog or arc and have some fun.
ah ok thats good to know this should be fun thank you
Yeah, ECC is a “nice to have” but is by no means as critical.
If you really want to know why, feel free to read this article:

ah ok that makes sense im happy you linked that article i really like zfs but i was to scared to use it non ecc now to convert everything to zfs
Any time.
Don’t get me wrong, ECC can help, but it’s not as important as some people make it out to be.
It works great as swap , zfs slog and with lvmcache
