Memory capacity sets which models run; where the weights sit sets the speed. StorageReview found roughly 215 GB of GLM-5.2 expert weights spill into slower Grace memory on one Station, hence 35 to 44 tok/s for a single user. #LocalLLM
NVIDIA DGX Station Review: 748 GB, 1.6 kW and a $160,195 Dell List Price
Dell lists its GB300 DGX Station tower at $160,195. StorageReview and ServeTheHome measured thousands of tokens per second across many users, but 35 to 44 for one user on the largest models.

The card's case rests on memory, not speed: 96 GB in one PCIe slot holds the 120-billion-parameter model with room for context cache, StorageReview found. Larger models needed two to four cards. #semiconductors #LocalLLM
NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Review: 600W Card Serves gpt-oss-120b at 3,064 tok/s
StorageReview's vLLM runs put one 600W RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition at 3,064 tok/s on gpt-oss-120b, a third of a GB300 DGX Station. Its 96 GB holds 120B-class models; the 300W Max-Q gives up about 9% on Llama 3.1 8B (llama.cpp).

The independent results for NVIDIA's DGX Spark have held while its price rose from $4,000 to $6,950 for the 128 GB unit. StorageReview and Tom's Hardware find it strong on gpt-oss-120b and bandwidth-bound on dense models. #LocalLLM
NVIDIA DGX Spark Review: 128GB GB10 Box Now Lists at $6,950
StorageReview and Tom's Hardware measured the 128GB DGX Spark well ahead of AMD's Strix Halo on gpt-oss-120b, but its 273 GB/s memory limits dense models. A 64GB unit starts at $4,999.

Both boxes use NVIDIA's GB10 with 128 GB of memory, and StorageReview measured 649.62 tokens per second on gpt-oss-120b at batch 64. At CDW's Nov. 2 price, Gigabyte's version now costs more than the DGX Spark. #LocalLLM
Gigabyte AI TOP ATOM Review: $7,312 at CDW, Up From $3,999.99 at Launch
CDW advertises Gigabyte's 4TB GB10 box at $7,312, 83% above launch and above NVIDIA's DGX Spark. StorageReview's vLLM runs and ServeTheHome's power data show what that buys.

245 tb SSD. That's about 2x the space I need for all my collections. But its estimated cost is about $80000. Meant for servers, it will save a lot of power compared to hard drives.

For a lot of my storage stuff, I tend to go with Level1Techs forum or StorageReview Discord for what usually good or bad when it comes to ZFS stuff.

For less critical stuff, non-ECC is something I'm willing to live with. My TrueNAS X+ has ECC and that has my important stuff.
