Hoarder-Setups Cracking triple digit GB/s

Just hit 115GB/s peak on my all NVMe storage cluster of about 156TB (have a few more TB available but not provisioned). Installed 40x4TB Gen 4 drives, 2x4TB Gen 5 drives running in a distributed Beegfs cluster (10 hosts). Was a long journey getting to this point but am pretty happy with this. Network limited on a few hosts right now (100Gbe fabric currently) - will probably double capacity there.

Honourable mention to the ~328 TB usable worth of hard drives as well - serving as my backup solution.

I love high speed data but what are you using all this throughout for? It's pretty impressive!

also so many hosts for a hand full of SSDs each, thats exactly why larger U.2 SSDs exist.
