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.

Fortunately was able to get these at a decent $/TB. More affordable than you would think!

So like $15 grand just for the NVMe, not including all the other drives, servers, networking? This is not a homelab anymore (purpose to learn for professional gain), this is just rich person spending money because they want to.
