So, what's your replacement machine consist of?

I used to use the hardware raid to stripe 2x ssd's to get over 1GB/s from my sata drives.

New machine has a pcie5 gen5 m.2 nvme. Stupid fast at 12GB/s.

I gotta figure out what to do with the old machine now...

Now it's FreeBSD14.1-RELEASE with a AMD Ryzen9 7950x (no 3d) still my old RX580, 64GB 4800 ECC Ram, 2x pci4 2TB nvme one for windows one for FreeBSD (i plan to buy a pci5 later that year), and two HD's 6TB mirrored for backup's and archive-stuff (just accessible from FreeB).

It think i will sell/gift it to someone, since i have a ML350p Gen8 server too...but to be honest it hurts a little bit, that was such a good warhorse.

BTW: I will probably buy a new GPU if pci5 card's are on the market and affordable and the driver is in FreeBSD...so let's say in a year or more ;)
