The boss is flying to japan to fix work order
The boss is reviewing the post and making fool of you on this special fool's day.
It seems that the ticket I issued has not been solved for 12 days? Maybe the boss is dozing off.
any update for LA ?
Hope the boss can give us a surprise
he's preparing for april fool surprise stay tuned
Boss is unboxing ssd and motherboard as replacement for Tokyo chicks,its shoping time.
waiting 😊
We have enough parts to where we can go with Gen3 NVMe on all the remaining builds but it would be nice if we don't have to do that.
More servers arrived, although they got delayed by UPS. Should go up this weekend or Monday. We're still trying to figure out what parts to buy directly in Japan and swap out to make them functional.
@VirMach please check your DM
has it been determined definitively its NVMe fault?
XPG is definitely fully messed up in every case, even when I try to make it work better. Mushkin works better but still has the issue (one failure in 48 hour period, still more than zero.)
Mushkin is being handled by their internal team, they're responsive. XPG, not so much.
I'm trying to see if I can get Mushkin stable enough with kernel parameters, I tuned it a little bit more and it hasn't gone down since but now that I updated you on it, this is usually when it would fail.
I see your DM come up every time I go to check DMs, the 20+ replies you provided.
Only problem is I go in OLDEST to NEWEST order usually, so yours is always newest, and I never get to it. It would be best if you do not reply to it so it ends up being the oldest and I can assist you.
I do it because see no reply from you for the long time
but sure. I will not do it and wait for you.
welcome back:)
Amsterdam
UPS just got back to us for the Amsterdam shipment we scheduled one week ago, so it sounds like they're very backed up. Good news is... they got back to us finally I guess?
Tokyo
UPS delivered these a little bit late so the datacenter could not set them up on Thursday as planed. Now they're scheduled for this weekend or Monday, but keep in mind we're still working on the NVMe issue. I've put together a list of other NVMe SSDs to try to use instead, that are available with quick shipping to Tokyo. We may just send these in over the weekend and have them replaced and see which ones work the best without issue and then schedule a second replacement.
time to put some Toshiba flash memory in!
I want to participate in the Tokyo VPS test, the order number is 653841, please open it to help test the performance, thank you.
Which time Migration Special (losangel,2020.07.07) can migration???
@VirMach
Hi boss, when would the storage server be ready? I think it's not affected by the ssd problem.
Thank you.
Hey boss, where have you swam?
That would cost you a lot more than in the US and some manufacturers’ products are outright unavailable.
Savvy Japanese buy hardware from US and the total cost is lower even including the shipping and import tax.
There’s a BS phenomenon here called アスク税 (ASK tax).
ASK, a hardware import company basically holds a monopoly on hardware import market in Japan.
FYI: https://monobook-org.translate.goog/wiki/アスク税?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en
@VirMach I agree with this!!!genius
I’m also more concerned about storage plan since I’m not going to renew my storage VPS from another top provider here anymore.
If my preordered Tokyo storage plan doesn’t get provisioned next week unfortunately I’m gonna have to find a monthly billed storage VPS to fill the gap.
@VirMach Now,it's time.
Yeah, it's interesting. Some are cheaper buying from the US, plus shipping, but then there's also custom import costs I assume that will be added 10-15% on top of that, so it may be better to buy it from Japan as long as it's on sale for a certain price.
What's also interesting is the extremely low stock levels of most Gen4 NVMe items. Lots of quantity limits by merchants.
Right now I have the following our cart:
1 x Addlink A92 4TB Gen4 (Quantity Limit)
1x KIOXIA Exceria Pro SSD-CK2.0N4P/N (Quantity Limit)
1x Sabrent SB-RKT4P-PSHS-2TB (Quantity Limit)
2x SP02KGBP44US7005 (No further in stock)
1x WD SN850 WDS200T1X0E-EC (Quantity Limit)
1x Corsair MP600 CSSD-F2000GBMP600COR (Quantity Limit)
3x Samsung 980 Pro MZ-V8P2T0C/EC (Quantity Limit)
Then we can get the following up to 8-18 quantity, no limit, just what's in stock:
18x addlink 4TB SN92
8x Crucial P5plus 2TB CT2000P5PSSD8JP
But I don't necessarily want to go with addlink and Crucial brands, I wanted to go with 980 and SN850 and Kioxia only but we can only get 5 of those total right now. Even if we can get above the quantity limit there's not that many available outside of the 980 Pro which would be fine so I'm looking into doing that. Only problem is to do that we need a business account which we have, but we need a Japan business account which I do not believe we'll be able to get set up.
(edit) What's super funny is the Kioxia was available in higher quantity, and at a lower price previously, but as soon as they found out we needed them they added the quantity restriction and upped the price by 10,000 yen each. But we're used to this kind of terrible luck.
We can send this off pretty quickly and it's not going to have to wait on the Gen4 NVMe really so I'll look into sending this off quickly for you. It's been done for a while.
It'll still take until Wednesday or Thursday next week to get there.
Does anyone know how we're supposed to pay Jon Biloh?
I had one dedi ryzen 3xxx with some 2x polish (forgot the crap brand) nvme it was disaster maybe some do not like working in pci-e slots or they are crap
