AMD Threadripper 1950X Linux Benchmarks

Note: As the other poster suggested if you wanna RAID will be problematic if you are not using ZFS.

where does this bullshit come from?

[pal666]

I am thinking to RAID the two M.2 as Raid 0 since motherboard supports it

never use bios raid

Now about the format I dont know if I will use ext4 , btrfs or ZFS

ex4 and zfs are obsolete. either xfs over { md or lvm raid } or btrfs with builtin raid

[pal666]

I would rather go with Vega, but since nobody knows if/when it will get mainline support I can somehow understand.

it is impossible to understand since 1080ti will never get mainline support

LOL, don't trust him: a strong custom loop is way better than *ANY* air cooling system.

*ANY* loop *IS* air cooling system. water just replaces heatpipes, it still requires air cooler to cool water. real water cooling needs river.

Well this was true at some point but as far as ZFS on linux goes

zfs on linux doesn't go anywhere, you can always check https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs in case of doubt

Ya know if Linux doesn't want the customers that want to use it.. thats ok.

extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

So far you're the only one questioning my claims. I feel confident enough in them that you can google search the proof yourself, with the source of your choosing. No cherry picking results necessary. You're a big boy and don't need to be spoonfed, right? Remember, this is in regards to high-performance drives in real-world applications. I figure cheap, SATA II, and/or SLC SSDs might see an overall performance improvement in RAID, but quality M.2 drives won't.

Note I'm not saying RAID0 won't offer performance improvements, but for M.2 drives you will see a performance loss in pretty much any task that doesn't do sequential I/O.

bigletter No manufacturer supports Linux officially, they will all send you packing when asking for support. Asus is simply a bit more upfront about it. That said, I've found AsRock to offer a little more bang for the buck, but ymmv.

For what its worth, i own an x86 motherboard from asrocks workstation/server line. It has linux officialy listed as supported. When i got the board there were some issues with getting the onboard sata controller to work properly in linux. I contacted the support and got fast and good support where they provided me with a beta version of uppcomming firmware that fixed my issue and mentioned minimum kernel version needed. So atleast asrock do officialy list linux as supported, and provide support.

I have have good experience with asrock even with their consumer motherboards that dont list linux as supproted, with them helping out ( that time with getting iommu working in linux ).

Thats why that is one of the brands i tend to recommend to people running linux.

that is not linux. and it is not even targeted to reach linux, like amd vulkan or dc for example
also lol@"btrfs is unstable" https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues
