What are the best features of this board
The fact that there is an EPYC CPU on there.
if it was yours, what would you use it for?
ESXi server, combined with at least 256GB RAM.
The enormous amount of IO, especially the PCIe lanes is definitely the best feature. If I had one I’d set up a sweet server for everything. Tons of pretty powerful cores and all the pcie would make an amazing Proxmox machine.
Exactly why I landed on it. I kept trying to make everything I wanted fit in a 3600 AM4 form factor, but it just wouldn’t work. I figure going with a 7282 and the AsRock Rack ROMED6U-2L2T in a Node 804 and be solid for a very, very long time. Or so I hope 🤣
And I thought my 2x 7352s were badass… nice! Maybe when the 2nd hand prices drop I’ll offload my 2 and grab 2 of those!
Nice feature is the sata-dom. I have 2 128gb drives on those. I also love the IPMI management.
Storage
I uhhh think I’d try to sleep with it.
You may want to start with installing a CMOS battery.
Then the answer is VMs.
Throw in some cash and trade up for Milan or even Genoa?
I would sell it. Everything I do is in containers, I have no need for 32/64, nor do I have the need for it to increase my electric bill.
How much did this cost you?
