darkgeej Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 12gb in both my servers, do the first is getting upgraded to 32 because i use it as server and gamer machine for my Girl friend Quote Link to comment
[email protected] Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 20G. I started with 4G. Since I started experimenting with VM and Dockers, I thought it more sense to put in some more memory. Quote Link to comment
kode54 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 16GB, and what's with all the non-power-of-two denominations? Quote Link to comment
spencers Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 32GB now. My VM's love it. Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 32GB ECC (8GB x 4) Quote Link to comment
Zonediver Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Using 8GB since 7 years - useless. The sys takes only 1.06GB so i will reduce to 4GB. Quote Link to comment
kode54 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Using 8GB since 7 years - useless. The sys takes only 1.06GB so i will reduce to 4GB. And how do you plan to reduce? Remove one of the DIMMs, crippling it to single channel? Or actually swap both out for 2x2GB? You are aware that it will be using all of the memory available to it as cache, right?

Swaped both out and used 2x2GB. This isnt a problem in my case because unRAID is only working as Plex-Server and therefore, 2x2GB are ok. EDIT: Ok, 4GB is crap - all things are very slow - back to 12GB Quote Link to comment
curiouskid Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 96GB ECC. Why? Because I am planning to use it to test auto provisioning using cloud platform. Quote Link to comment
isvein Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 12 on main and 8 on backup Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I can't believe people still reply to this thread. It was a poll that closed on May 21, 2014. (Two and a half years ago) Everyone just replying on the thread saying how much they use, isn't really giving interesting /useful data as its not being displayed anywhere expect just reading through alot of threads. So @limetech why not open a new poll here , as it seems still quite popular. Then we can see the info as a bar chart and get an idea of the current use in peoples servers? Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just my opinion, but I'm not sure a new poll would be much better. If you look back through them, it's really hard not to think they're largely ego driven, clearly not representative. If you've splurged on RAM, or otherwise proud of your RAM purchase, you're more likely to want to mention it. A new poll with the right verbiage could be better, but how useful would it be? A good general recommendation based on extent of VM usage would be more useful, I think. What would be nice, would fill a big hole, is a hardware registry of some sort, collected with user effort, and without personally identifying info. It's proven too hard to maintain a Hardware Recommendations list. It would probably require a special piece of software to both collect the info, and provide access, plus a common persistent storage location. Just ideas - * each major hardware component, with a user grade, plus a clue about how heavy the system usage is: - motherboard, CPU(s), RAM, hard drives, solid state drives, graphics cards, drive controllers, power supply; plus the VM count and Docker container count - user grade of component: --- A : completely satisfactory, even for future expansion if user wanted to --- B : completely satisfactory --- C : it's OK, adequate --- D : works, but not recommended --- F : trash, run away * current system status: - Active - Failed - Replaced - Not using * Optional user ID This would allow others to explore what motherboards are currently being used, and what components work with them. But this will never work without widespread buy in. It would have to be easy and almost automatic. Perhaps if the collection was automatic and tied into something we almost all used, like unRAID itself (means LimeTech would have to develop it) or something Squid has done like Community Apps. Most of the info can easily be collected from the syslog and lspci etc (not grades unfortunately). But there would be enough to be very helpful. Quote Link to comment

But regardless, as a purely opt-in feature, it would be extremely helpful in determining what works and what doesn't. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 lol And get back into the whole "calling home" debate. But regardless, as a purely opt-in feature, it would be extremely helpful in determining what works and what doesn't. How about a button to push next to the diagnostics button? Something along the lines of "Preview upload system profile to internet", which generates the detected output to a page, along with optional ratings and short comment fields, and has a button at the bottom, "Upload Now". Maybe generate a unique hash of the USB GUID in the submission so the results can be linked to your online profile if you wish, or kept anonymous if you don't tell anyone your hash. Don't allow editing of the hardware profile or hash, just display and submit as is. If you don't want the info sent, don't upload it. Limetech would have a record of which public IP uploaded the profile, but if it's totally voluntary and disclosed, I don't see how anyone would have a serious issue with it. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There is already such a feature under Tools -> Hardware Profile ... Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There is already such a feature under Tools -> Hardware Profile ... So there is... But, it actually doesn't go far enough with what I believe is the intent of RobJ's posting. You'd really need to add correlation to passed through devices, and basic specs of VMs. (Under the assumption that it actually works properly) Then LT has to actually do something with the raw data and keep a web page continually updated with the basic stats gathered from all users to assist other users make purchasing decisions, etc. Quote Link to comment

You are right that additional processing is required to translate it into 'usable' information, but that is up to LT Quote Link to comment
Ph9214 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 32 gb (thinking of upgrading) Quote Link to comment
JonUKRed Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 24GB DDR4 2400 - Majority is used for VM's. Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 72GB in the main server with a few vm's and plex/crashplan. Main VM used for video editing. 40GB in the backup server, which also has a few vm's/plex/crashplan. 12GB in the other 2 servers which only host a single vm. Quote Link to comment
