Most friends think alike, especially if you are paying the bills.
I have on my DELL 7710 laptop
1. Xeon E3-1535M
[email protected]
2. 64GB RAM
3. Quadro M5000M video
4. W10 Pro build 16179.rs (preview build)
5. Samsung NvMe 0.5TB boot/processing C-DRIVE
6. Samsung SSD 2TB storage E-DRIVE
7. 4K 17 inch display
8. Intel 1GbE network port
My office workstation is:
1. dual Xeon
[email protected]
2. 0.25TB/1.5TB RAM
3. GTX 1080 video
4. W10 Pro
5. Samsung 1TB boot/processing C-DRIVE (not enough $ to upgrade to NVMe yet)
6. 60TB RAID 6 SAS with controller E-DRIVE
7. 4K 75 inch Samsung display
8. dual Intel 10GbE ports to internal 10GbE network (Jason: we still have not converted to Infiniband).
The SAS raid at 12gbs gives us approximately twice the throughput as our SATA HDD raid systems at 6gbs. Copying and moving large files could reduce wait time as part of the processing time when copying workstation to server. When copying to another workstation folder it can be almost as fast as NVMe space copying, but much cheaper for large storage.
