Hi,
I have 1 2tb sys in CA. I can let go. PM me your price.
Pmed
Just keep watching @Neoon's Discord till some are back in stock.
Cancelled one 2TB/CA minutes ago.
thanks, I managed to snag a box from Discord.
What kind of servers are these? I'm interested in getting some Arm boxes to play with. And not a Pi.

I read "ARM Cortex A9 ARMv7 2c / 2t 1GHz 2GB DDR3 1x2TB SATA"
I meant the hardware manufacturer and model. I want to get my hands on the physical box, not rent 1.
These are Marvell Armada 375 SoC thingies, let's poke OVH employees @ninzo59
Marvell Armada 375 is ARM Cortex A9 ARMv7
afaik the board is something more or less proprietary developed by OVH.
if you have a look into the other SYS thread, there is a link hidden somewhere to the sources of the (buggy) OVH kernel which at least contains some hardware patches which might be useful to get some more information ;-)
The closest boards commercially available are the Globalscale ESPRESSOBin (Marvell Armada 3700LP) and the SolidRun Clearfog (ARMADA based A388) if you want your own Armada 37x you probably would have to special order from someone like SolidRun who fabricates boards. My guess is OVH likely engineered the board and then hired a similar group to fabricate it.
Cheers!
I thought WD MyCloud NASes have Marvell Armada inside, not sure about the exact version though. Synology DS115 was also based on Armada.
Actually yes, they do, but I was targeting more development boards where you have access to all the underlying firmware and OS stuff fully, instead of their limited platform that's provided for that SAN/NAS hardware as the OVH stuff is likely closer to a development board than a Synology unit. Also, it would be a lot more expensive to buy a Synlogy NAS than buy an ESPRESSOBin, about 4x the cost probably. However, compared to the ClearFog it's probably closer in cost (I would still buy the ClearFog over the Synology though).
Cheers!
I have a 4TB that's just idling if anyone is looking I'm willing to transfer
