10 GIGABYTES a SECOND?? - HOLY $H!T

Samsung’s 960 Pro SSD delivers high‑speed storage at a third of the cost of the first boot SSD and is an order of magnitude faster in real‑world performance. Melanox Connect 4 cards, two generations old, reach 100 GB transfer speeds (~12 GB/s), enough to download Fortnite in one second. The cards use Intel controllers, plug into PCI‑Express 2.0 slots, and support Ethernet and InfiniBand; they feature QSFP+ connectors and full‑fat PCI‑Express Gen 3 × 16 links. The test setup uses an Intel 18‑core processor on a Rampage 6 Extreme motherboard with 128 GB RAM, and a second system with a 16‑core 7960X on an ASUS X299 Deluxe, also with 128 GB RAM. Four Samsung 960 Pros and four Corsair MP500s are configured in RAID 0 for NVMe storage. Windows Server 2016 is used for the OS, and the cards are paired with 100 GB passive copper direct‑attach cables (≈$60 for a 3 m cable). Benchmarks show 40 GB files transfer at ~2 GB/s from NVMe to RAM disk, rising to ~4 GB/s, then ~10 GB/s, demonstrating effective RDMA over converged Ethernet (ROCE). The setup supports lossless network transfers with minimal CPU overhead, achieving near‑zero CPU usage during transfers. The video concludes with a call for feedback on deploying this technology in real‑world scenarios. Join the forum and wear that shirt.

Should have time. reply,39,rauno kuldkepp r/woooosh reply,19,"rauno kuldkepp Deleting data is actually just a matter of deleting its reference in the file system. I dont know what windows explorer else does in the background when you delete something big, but in theory it doenst even take a second." reply,18,Lol gamer gets job at nasa video reply,18,"rauno kuldkepp Write a script for download/install, another for removal, set a hotkey combo for each. Now, easy." comment,2000,7:58 Lawsuit incoming. reply,370,Joke's on Canada: I'm a dual citizen. 😉 reply,94,Canada shall protect them! reply,29,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LINUS GET REKT reply,17,Nice. reply,7,+Snazzy Labs Dual core citizenship? comment,900,"""average person should download doom in around 1 hour"" oh linus what a funny joke" reply,22,"How big is doom? I try not to Download anything larger than ~3GB, because these already kill my Internet for days..." reply,14,"@p3chv0gel22 would only take around a year and a half for me, gotta love the country life" reply,11,probably about 1 day reply,9,For me it would take around 3 days... But i cant even run DOOM (2016) comment,428,"9:16 Yes Linus, everybody has a 100+Mb/s broadband in their home and a friggin raid0 for game instalation folder. cries in third world" reply,18,"We dont even need a third world country, just visit germany." reply,6,Try Australia we have great internet comment,1000,"“60 gigs, and it’s takes your internet connection about like, an hour to download and install” Cries in ADSL" reply,59,Cries in 4G with datacaps. reply,44,This actually made me sad because it takes me 3 days to download a 60gb game I have the cheapest internet package from at&t reply,33,joins crying in ADSL reply,14,Cries in DSL at 10 mbit reply,10,[cries in Australian] comment,1000,Should have used threadripper.

My server rack is on wheels. reply,67,At what point is it faster to ship full hard drivers compared to transferring files over the internet? reply,40,"@Wargon2013 I've actually made a study on this topic and many data centers use packaging services to move a lot of data around, and it will not go away soon. Data transfer speeds are faster this way by around the factor 100-1000. Don't ask me about latency" reply,32,"""Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of harddrives hurtling down the highway""" reply,31,@Wargon2013 theres a book called what if?

The comment thread shows a lively discussion about transfer speeds and hardware choices, with several users praising the 100 GB/s transfer claim and asking for more details on the testbench. A few commenters note the importance of dual‑core setups and the potential for SLI, while others joke about the “dual‑citizen” nature of the build. Overall sentiment is positive, with high‑like counts and multiple replies indicating strong engagement. The community also references real‑world scenarios such as downloading large games and moving data between servers, reinforcing the relevance of the video’s performance claims.
