welcome to tie an and while lioness does the wholly good episode so this is not one of them I am checking out something pretty insane it is the FT 76 B 7 9 to 2 and while the name is a mouthful it definitely doesn't pull any punches performance-wise if it's memory you're after you can get 6 terabytes of ddr4 memory modules up in the front of the case if you need processing power you can get 4 e 7 8800 series has well based processors if it's storage there's 8 slots up in the front for 2 and a half inch bays and naturally if you wanted nvme you could install them in the many PCIe slots on the back or in the 2 hot-swap bays in the corner as well yes that is hot swappable PCIe 8 X slots 2 of them in the back so when looking at the server up in the front you have your 8 2 and a half inch base give your 96 potential slots for RAM on the modules right behind that then you have 4 CPUs then you have your PCIe area and then for redundant 1200 watt power supplies just in case you're worried about three of them failing at once there's still one that will hold you on and all of those front two and a half inch bays are rated together on an LSI card in the back of the case which does actually have a little bit of tie n branding on it which is kind of cool but if stuff like crazy hot swappable storage is more your thing we can move on to the GT 60 to be b55 3 9 another naming mouthful but it's fine I'm going to do something kind of cool on camera right now which is pull out one of their nvme drives so this is the Intel p3 700 nvme drive just pull it out while we were running the little green light goes off I can take it put it back in click it in wait for it and while I'm talking and a couple seconds the green light will go back on you can just do that it's kind of cool on the front the yellow slots are for nvme drives the blue stock slots are for standard older two-and-a-half inch drives like really fast SSDs that aren't nvme or hard drives whatever you want in terms of processor this thing is running a xeon d 1541 that's an SOC chip it's an 8 core chip that means it doesn't have like a normal socket that you could drop and remove a processor from it's actually soldered directly onto the board but if you do want a slightly higher in you can get a 16 core model as well and if you're still not satisfied with your hot swappable nvme drives you can add on the tn7 tje 3250 which has 12 three and a half inch hard drive bays and can link into the guy above it so you can expand your storage dramatically that way so that was pretty freakin cool I think Linus has some more servers to Drew laughter we're going to go check out more stuff at combi Tex thanks to Thai n for bringing us here and sponsoring us for Computex 2016 if you want to see the rest of our Computex content be sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips and if you're interested in the other stuff ty n might do like all the boards and whatnot that are behind me check out their website because they do a lot of cloud computing HP see all that kind of stuff as well
